Well that was weird. I found an old write-up by a film student about a videoblog I made in 2006. That’s seven years ago, for those of you keeping count at home. What a surreal feeling to read her commentary!
Anyway, hey! Let’s play a drinking game called “Drink Each Time Annie Says ‘Um’!” except let’s NOT because we’d all be dead from alcohol poisoning. Okay thanks, bye.
I’m just as gawky and awkward, seven years later.

It’s Wednesday and I haven’t smiled “normally” for GPOYW in forever. This is my face. Still not normal.
Achievement unlocked: First race (like, ever) complete. The Eileen Dugan Memorial 5K yesterday was a total blast. Thanks to the BBP Conservancy for putting on such a fun little race!
The course took us through Brooklyn Bridge Park, starting at Pier 6, around the Pier 5 fields, past the Pier 2 and 3-4 construction areas, along the Pier 1 park path, then around Jane’s Carousel, where we doubled back to Pier 6. Super flat, super easy.
The weather was in the 30s and windy - I definitely did not enjoy the thirty jacket-less minutes waiting for the starting gun to go off. Just look at my starting line selfie.
The night before the race I dreamed that I came in dead last… I guess that’s the runner’s equivalent of dreaming you went to school naked? Good news! I definitely didn’t come in last. I finished well under my goal of 30 minutes, and I’m really proud of myself for pacing effectively. Go me! *toot toot* Note to self: don’t forget to hit “stop” on RunKeeper after crossing the finish line - that 19:21 split is heinous.
One of my favorite things about running the Dugan yesterday was seeing the very diverse crowd that turned out, from the crazy sprinters (15:39!), to the 10-year old kids, to the inspirational folks that chugged along at the back of the pack. So awesome.
40 days left until the Brooklyn Half!

I’m glad Rick always humors me whenever I demand a Photo Booth simply because we’re working out of the same office.
True friendship, ladies and gentlemen.
Er… I inadvertently dressed like Where’s Waldo today.

This week: we flip through Eliot’s Sketch Pad, sort through the Best of the Worst, and talk Comedy Central, while hopped up on Red Bull. Plus! We give Annie her own segment. All that and so much more, this week on The Show You’re Watching.

That’s my face! Silly segment that Jason dreamed up this week.
Very cold in the office this morning!

Hello! I grew up in Los Angeles, went to school in San Diego, and landed in New York City after graduation - now I happily call Brooklyn home. You can contact me via email or Tumblr Ask. Here are some previously answered Asks.

Happy Bike Month and Bike to Work Week! We’re taking part in Bike NYC’s Commuter Challenge. This morning, Joe and I met up to ride across the Manhattan Bridge to our office in Soho. It was the perfect morning for a bike ride, and the scenery wasn’t too shabby either.
Is your own bike looking a little dusty from being in storage all winter? Our friends at Etsy (who are also taking part in the Commuter Challenge) show you how to tune up your bike…

Happy cycling, and be safe out there!
I bought a bike on Saturday and this morning I made Joe ride with me to work. I didn’t get hit by a car, and I didn’t kill any pedestrians - let’s chalk today up as a good day.
(Also, my face is HUGE, good grief.)
