Zach Braff Quotes →
Eric: Zach Braff is the new Chuck Norris.
I’m surprised these incendiary quotes from Zach Braff haven’t gotten more publicity. It must be because GARDEN STATE had such a sweet soundtrack. — paperzach

When I was in elementary school, there was there was this gross girl that we all used to say turned you to stone if you looked at her. Yes, we were a bunch of bastards, but aren’t all ten year olds? My Mom always backed her up with the swan theory: some day she will be beautiful and you will all be wishing you were nicer to her.
Now, nearly twenty years later, it gives me great solace...
Best Buy Customer Service (from Paul Scheer)
Best Buy Guy: Can I help you find something?
Me: No.
Best Buy Guy: Well if you are looking for a gift, you should get Rush Hour 3. Everyone loves this movie. I guarantee you.
Me: Thanks.
Best Buy Guy: Trust Me!
YOUR BLACKBERRY HAS BEEN BITTEN BY MY ZOMBIE!
I recently took myself off facebook - for fear that it was growing too powerful too fast - and today, when I turned on my blackberry, a mysterious facebook icon had found its way to my desktop. I don’t know the exact time that this growth appeared on the face of my phone, but I think it was around 1pm (eastern).
I checked my fiancee’s phone and found that the same thing had happened...
tourist?
I was standing in line for the 2nd Ave Deli today with my camera hung around my neck. I just got a nice new lens (nikkor 50mm f1.4), so I’ve been bringing the camera with me everywhere I go and taking a ton of pictures. Normally I would carry it in my messenger bag, but it was full of books I had just purchased at Barnes & Noble.
Anyway, I’m standing in this ridiculous long...

Ben: What happened to you man?
Eric: Why is it so gay to be into wine?
Ben: It's not...but it is to fucking blog about it.
Douchey or Sophisticated?
Is it douchey to blog about a bottle of wine?
I’m currently drinking a bottle of St. Supery’s 2003 Elu that I bought from the St. Supery vineyard in Napa Valley, and it’s FUCKING AMAZING (I did use the word “fucking” in my description, so maybe that negates any kind of pretentiousness normally associated with a wine review).
It’s 75% Cabernet Sauvignon,...

Wolf Wolf
There sure are a shit-ton of bands with “wolf” in their name these days. I had heard of “Wolfmother” and “Wolf Parade,” but I was just reading the latest batch of Pitchfork reviews and in the same column, they reviewed albums by both “Sea Wolf” and “Wolves in the Throne Room.” Is there something about a canis lupus that screams...

These are, hands down, the most simple and beautiful flash based games I’ve ever seen.
Cloverfield
My Morning Jacket
I just listened to “My Morning Jacket” for the first time (specifically, the live “Okonokos” album). I had been aware of their existence, and knew who Jim James was, but I had never actually picked up an album. I don’t think I had ever even heard their music until about a month ago when I saw them play on some Bonnaroo special on the HD music channel.
What a great...

This happened about a year ago.
Mike: Everyone here likes Chinese food.
Brad: Chris doesn't like Chinese food.
Chris: Yes I do!
Brad: You do?
Chris: no! I mean yes!
Brad: Wait... you do or don't?
Chris: Don't!
Brad: You don't?
Chris: No I do!
Brad: Make up your mind! Do you or don't you?!?!
Chris: yes!
Brad: Yes what!?
{Chris kicks Brad)
Brad: Ow!
Chris: I LIKE CHINESE FOOD!!!!!!!!!!

simple.
I’ve been talking lately about throwing out all my clothes giving all my clothes to charity and just buying a bunch of the same outfit. Nothing with text or logos. Just simple blacks/whites/greys. Choosing what to wear each day is a complication I don’t really want anymore.

we're all targets.
Eric: I really want Brad to sign up for tumblr. He can post links and videos and pictures very easily. Much simpler than a normal blog. It's really cool.
Mom: There's no pedophiles on it, are there?
Eric: I think tumblr is pretty safe. It doesn't display your personal info or anything.
Mom: Are you sure?
Eric: Look, unless Brad is specifically targeted by a pedophile who is also a brilliant computer hacker, I think he's pretty safe.
Mom: You never know WHO these pedophiles are.

Scientology
I’ve been working with some well-known non-internet people to get them on Tumblr. The past week I’ve gotten Paul Scheer and Rob Huebel (of MTV’s Human Giant) and Travis McCoy of Gym Class Heroes. If these people go to their network or record label and ask for a website, it becomes a big project. Most individuals just want a simple, unfiltered stream for their output. So, Tumblr....
Teen Wuhl
My friend Chris Kula and I came up with a great idea for a movie. It’s about this nerdy teenage basketball player who really isn’t that great on the court. He’s really into this hot girl who wouldn’t even give him the time of day if she happened to notice him at all, and also, he hangs with this dick-head named “Stiles,” and has this other girl friend who is...
