WatchSo bad-ass.
I have faith in this man. And I’m not a big “faith” person.

In case you missed the Obama Q&A at the House Republican conference, here it is in all its glory. Now let’s get stuff done.

Do you have any unwed female cousins? Let’s make this happen.
Joanna Newsom has a… unique singing voice and presence, and plays the harp. So she’s an acquired taste that some are unable to acquire. (Their loss.) Her two real albums are The Milk-Eyed Mender (shorter songs, mostly just voice and harp) and Ys (really long songs with complicated orchestral arrangements). Both...

Pick your favorites and respond!
Would I enjoy being a music critic (or a critic in general)? I seem to like sharing my thoughts about music, TV shows, etc. I love immersing myself and having encyclopedic knowledge, and when I feel like I’ve nailed my thoughts on something, that brings me a lot of joy. Do I only enjoy it when I feel like I have something to say? Would it be a...
“Morgan Phillips, as Linus, demonstrated superb comic timing and shared...”
– Something that just popped up on my automatic “Morgan Phillips” Google blog search RSS feed, freaking me out. Further investigation revealed that it’s from a review of a current community theater production in Australia, not the Albany High School production from 1989. In which...

Its weird being nervous about an improv show, compared to other shows I’ve done. There are no lines or music or fight choreography memorized for me to repeat in my head over and over again. So far I like this better.
Hopefully I am nervous enough to put on a good show, without actually exploding. Because I’d feel bad about some Magnet intern having to clean bits of...

Note to self re: human interaction
My personal preference, when interacting with other Improv People, is for a balanced mix of comedic bits and sincere conversation. That being said, note to self: In the New Year, how about fewer instances of covering up my feelings of social awkwardness with hilarious feigned hostility and/or off-putting, forced weirdness?
DO IT, NERD-O.

Anonymous asked: what is your dick
I am a special snowflake
I actually like the tumblr question thing. But I also like it when people tell me about dreams they’ve had, and I enjoy going to movies alone, and I was a big fan of the TV show Cop Rock. Oh, and I firmly believe that baseball is the worst sport, objectively speaking.
In all other respects, I am just like the other fellows.

You can and should ask me anything.

Amazing video! Top That scene from Teen Witch remade by Fashion Designer rachel antonoff for her 2010 Lookbook. Starring alia shawkat from Oh you know… Arrested Development! This rules so good. I love a remake shot for shot. no twist necessary!
Brilliant.
Attempted to go to the Gentrify Brooklyn improv comedy show tonight. Got off at the wrong subway stop. Realized my error, decided I’d gone one stop too far. Got back on the subway, backtracking one stop. Got out, still not the right stop, thought maybe I’d been correct the first time, tried to walk back. Walked in the wrong direction for seven blocks. Half an hour late for the...
