Eat: The Tucci Table
Stanley Tucci may be the best thing that's ever happened to me.
Our relationship hasn't always been the most stable. We first met in '92 when he was trying to steal a family dog. Then there was the time he killed a couple of Supreme Court justices. And I'll never forget the whole kidnap and murder a little girl in an underground bunker thing. But I forgave, and we persevered.
And when I needed someone to guide a hapless Anne Hathaway through the cutthroat world of women's magazines, Stanley was there. When I needed someone to be in love with Meryl Streep doing Julia Child voice for two hours, Stanley was there. And when I needed someone to make me smile while pretty teenagers killed each other for sport, Stanley. Was. There.
And now, he feeds me.....

Read: Sell Out by Simon Rich
Simon Rich and I are practically the same person. Simon Rich is 30 years old. I am 30 years old. Simon Rich has brunetteish hair. I have brunetteish hair. Simon Rich is Jewish. I am open to the idea of fish on bagels. But it is where we differ that makes him a more important human than me. Simon Rich is a gifted writer, providing the world with uniquely hilarious and poignant short stories, novels,, and now, TV shows. I merely write blogs about how Simon Rich is a gifted writer, providing the world with uniquely hilarious and poignant short stories, novels, and now, TV shows.
My favorite of Simon Rich’s works are his shorts for the New Yorker, particularly Sell Out. Sell Out is the tale of an immigrant pickle factory worker in early 1900’s New York. One fateful day, he falls into a vat of pickling brine and the lid is closed above him by mistake. In this vat he stays for 100 years, perfectly preserved, until some “conceptual artists” find him while reclaiming the abandoned pickle factory for a performance space. Science lets him know that he has a great-great-grandson named Simon Rich, who lives in Brooklyn. He moves in with Simon, and attempts to adjust to modern Brooklyn life. Hilarity ensues. But don’t take my word for it ....

Hear: The Weekend by Modern Baseball
There's a whole slew of young'ns out there making songs that belong on the American Pie 2 soundtrack. Of them, these guys are my favorite.

Read: Rembert Browne
I remember first seeing Dave Chapelle's Block Party at the Hollywood Theater in Tyler with my best friend Marc. And I remember my life being better for it.
It's now been 10 years since that block party happened. Grantland's Rembert Browne takes a look at the weird decade that followed for everyone involved.

Sid Mashburn Warehouse Sale
If you're going to be in the Atlanta area this weekend, make your way to Sid Mashburn for, what I assume to be, some tremendous deals.

Interesting thoughts about the acceptance of fighting in Hockey. Would it still be ok if the players were African-American?

Want: Sid Mashburn Captive-Top Flask
A friend of mine was recently at a Trampled by Turtles show when he got stuck standing behind a group of gents that were constantly sending one sloppy goose to get beers for the whole drunken gander. The bar was at the back of the room, which meant that the guy's return involved elbowing his way back through the crowd, sloshing four Coors Lights all over everyone's shoulders and shoes. This, understandably, annoyed my friend. "If you intend to drink that much, and get that drunk" he later ranted to me, "why not just bring a flask?"
Yes! Why not bring a flask?! Compact and convenient, a flask not only makes you a better concert neighbor, but also allows you the opportunity to drink something a little more refined than $9 horse piss. And if you're going to use a flask, it might as well be made of stainless steel and wrapped in leather. This beauty from Sid Mashburn is even curved to fit the pocket of your jacket. Check your local open-container laws before going crazy. Or just be sneaky. But whatever you do, be responsible.

Love: Stools
Found these in my parents' barn this weekend. As a child, I spent many a Sunday morning sitting on them learning about how flannel board Daniel survived the flannel board lions den. And so did pretty much everyone I know.
New Harmony Baptist Children's Church, circa 1987.
Hear: Midnight by Coldplay
