My buddy Matt is Vimeo’s featured user of the week - the perfect excuse to embed my favorite Matt work, this Jonze-ian video for The Spinto Band’s Trust vs. Mistrust.

Other highlights from the Matthew K canon - the Big-Apple-Film-Festival-award-winning cartoon Tourist and this iPod commercial he made immediately after getting mugged.

Possibly my least interesting blog post ever coming up, and recently I had about 6 or 7 essays about Trivial Pursuit 90’s Edition.

Is it just me, or does the Tumblr ‘queue’ button not work?

Lost Cocktail #1

The Lost Island Ice Tea

Ingredients (which changed dramatically when I realized exactly how much liquor I’d have to buy to make Long Island Ice Teas)

- Vodka
- Rum, as tropically themed as possible
- Triple Sec
- Guava (chosem because it’s one of the two fruits Lostpedia confirms Sun grew in her garden)

Mix well, serve with two hour Lost premiere.

I’m not sure if I’ll be making a Lost cocktail for every episode this season, but I have lots of good puns and can barely watch Lost sober so there’s a decent chance there will be more. If you make your own Lost themed drinks and snacks, send them in and I’ll post it.

Hardly Working: Box Fort

Just wanted to point out that this box fort was not built for a sketch. Kevin and I built a Box Fort, then we decided to use it in a Hardly Working.

I loved Avatar, but have developed a new theory on it’s enduring popularity - since the movie came out in December, nobody has released a single other movie worth paying $10 to see. And I saw Daybreakers! There isn’t even an Oscar sleeper like Slumdog Millionaire or No Country For Old Men.

Bleep Bloop: Dante’s Inferno w/ particularly special guest, “Sex Drugs & Coco Puffs” author Chuck Klosterman.

I discovered Chuck’s books while traveling this summer and immediately devoured them all. If you want to hear more of me, him, and Pat talking about videogames, check out this week’s deleted scenes.

Posting this before I even get to reading it myself -

First interview with Bill Watterson, the creator of Calvin & Hobbes, in 20 years.

(via the AV Club, which also helpfully links to an interview about the interview)

Ben Joseph wrote a great cartoon called “Internet Distractions” and I got to do the voice for Wikipedia. I talk about comic books. It is, without question, the role I was born to play.
