First the doctor told me the good news: I was going to have a disease named after me.

I do think that animated films have the ability to touch you someplace. There is something about live action movies that is different because we know the characters are real people, so they always stay flawed for us somehow. But animated films touch us in a very clear, uncomplicated place. They have that ability. And an animated character can make an expression in a way humans can't do.

I'm a bitter, sad, sour young man who makes a career out of hastling people with real careers.

Anyway, seeking work is a tad difficult given the poor design of the streets with their prohibitive curbs and driveways that don't quite line up.

Comedy may be big business but it isn't pretty.

I actually credit Twitter with fine-tuning some joke-writing skills. I still feel like I'm working at it.

Or is it that I think too much?
