f*ing obama, with love to sarah silverman

The Sarah Silverman/Jimmy Kimmel videos had me laughing for days… so why not share this little send up. It’s two weeks old now, but maybe some of you haven’t seen it. And while it’s completely inappropriate, it’s damn brilliant.

what?

i’m going to grad school

A couple of weeks ago I had on of my happiest days… finding out I was accepted into graduate school just before Leah and I went to our favorite restaurant to celebrate our new apartment and one year together.

Here’s my signed letter of intent… I love the big GRADUATE stamp on the side of the envelope.

Over this past weekend I attended BBQ at CCA for prospective and current graduate students. I only met a few of my future classmates but it was envigorating to be back on a campus, surrounded by hordes of creative folks. I also really enjoyed wandering around buildings, getting a feel for the atmosphere, checking out the projects scattered through the studios and the event flyers posted on the walls. Feeling shy, and afraid to out myself as a guest, I took only a few photos when no one was looking.

One of the reasons I’ve wanted to get back to school is the community of learning that revolves around classwork. CCA has an impressive slate of lectures and events happening almost every night, most of which seem to be free and open to the public. Next week, I’m hoping to check out Judith Butler, who is currently writing about Jewish philosophy and “pre-Zionist criticisms of state violence.” (Side note… Not sure how I missed that she was at Berkeley.)

If you are in town, feel free to join me for some Butler, hopefully the first of many CCA lectures.

I’m not a huge Judd Apatow fan (I’m definitely not the target demo) … but drop in some KBell and I’m interested…

Forgetting Sarah Marshall opens next Friday.

we live together!

I think moving causes weeks of displacement… weeks of prepping, what ended up being weeks of moving from old apartments to new one, and now weeks of unpacking, sorting and settling.

But damn, it is amazing. I think Leah and I come home every night excited, despite the rooms still in chaos, just cause we think there’s nothing better than living together.

Now we just have to explain to our landlord the concept of hyphenated last names.
