Telling Facebook Status Update


Yes, I became a fan of myself. Here is the thing though, I actually did it because I’m trying to figure out how to easily post video to my various pages. I have my regular Facebook page and then I have my public “celebrity” page which I’m now a fan of and then I have the Facebook fan group. When I go to the fan group page and want to add video I can easily select videos I’ve already uploaded to my regular Facebook page, thus cutting down on the hours long uploading process. When I go to my public “celeb” page though I don’t have that option, I can only upload or record new video. Hence I thought perhaps becoming a fan would allow me to post video as a fan. Wait! Maybe I didn’t ok fan uploads. Hm.

"If we had lives, what might we be doing?"

It’s almost like in posing this question Dustin was suggesting we DON’T have fascinating fabulous lives. I can’t speak for him. He’s a sad man who loves oatmeal*, a sad man who loves oatmeal who’s also out of town so I don’t think he’s going to see this for a little while, hence I can refer to him as a sad man who loves oatmeal when perhaps that’s not fair, but I am very fabulous and fascinating and I’m currently living three lives that’s how many lives I’ve packed into my one life. You know?

*Oh my motherfucking fuck I just spent one whole lifetime trying to find the myriad blog entries I’d written on the Time Out New York blog about Dustin and his oatmeal when we both worked at there, including a bit of genius when he cheated on his oatmeal with a box of poptarts (I believe it was titled “Who Cries For The Oatmeal?”) but for the life of me I can’t find them. I can’t even find the blog.

Wherein we try to remember the most interesting conversation EVER!

Anna and I try to remember The Most Interesting Conversation Either Of Us Have Ever Had.

Also, what’s up with my voice? I sound like my sister to me in this one, which probably doesn’t mean anything to anyone here. Speaking of voices, Anna is losing her voice and so I told her we had to vlog last night to capture her ephemeral husky voice. I don’t know if she’s looked at the video yet. I’m totally blog baiting her right now. Vlog-baiting?

About whether to watch the videos here or on Anna's blog

I mean, both, obviously!!

But I bring it up because it’s come up in the comments and it’s something Anna and I are figuring out as well. If I had my druthers—and sadly I can’t remember the last place I saw them, I mean, I know they didn’t just walk out of here on their own!!!!!!—we would both post the videos and then you would see them here and there and we’d also put them in your apartment and on your ceiling and in the back of a cab* and one day we would broadcast them straight to the insides of your eyelids. And then we’d GO VIRAL! I’m not even sure what that means but I think it means that fans would shed tiny bits of Anna and my embed code. I’m joking, I know what GO VIRAL means in this sense but I just don’t know how to do it. Must we insert a shrimp on a treadmill into our videos? Or a dancing hamster? An erudite gopher? Can you guys help us in our quest for being contagious on an epic scale? We’re very blood born. Also, we mutate. Also, don’t watch our videos if you have cuts in your mouth. Just kidding! You can totally watch our videos if you have cuts in your mouth! In fact, we insist on it!

So but just wanted to bring this conversation into the open since you’re having it in the comments and we’re having it in the hot tub where we like to hang out and do our thinking. Have at her!

So, just to round it all up. There is this site which you are well acquainted with. And there’s Anna’s blog which you also know. And then both of us have youtube pages.

*not really because let’s face it: everyone shuts that shit off the second they slide into a cab.

I Q&A vlogged for you!

Part 1 (by the way, I’m not sure I made it clear that the journal entry I refer to is from almost 10 years ago. Hence, retro awesomeness.)

Part 2:

And can we talk for a moment about how horrifically horrible the still shot for this video is? I look inbred. WHICH I’M NOT.

The Vegemite Sandwich dance

A couple things

1) It had been a really long day
2) Note the way I captured/framed my hair and a tiny little sliver of my face in an entirely new way.
3) TV makeup doing weird things on my skin. As I said to Anna hours before we filmed this “I’m going to leave it on until I’m convinced a layer of my skin is burning off.”
4) I mean, not that it burns your skin at all. Just that at a certain point I want it OFF.
5) And yet I’m pretty girly.
6) It’s very windy in NYC in case you’re wondering.

GO TO Anna’s blog to see the video, won’t you?

And while you’re there, how about leaving some comments? Anna loves comments! If she could make a blanket out of comments she would, except maybe not because her apartment is pretty hot. But you know.
