Weekend in Boston: SO GOOD. 2(Bubble tea) + 1(highlighter party) + 1(trip to the Kong) + 4(sneaked-in trips to the dhall) + 100(friends whom I miss dearly)= amazing.

Also, don't ride MegaBus. They are con artists. BoltBus4lyfe.

A belated happy birthday to my mom.

An amendment to my previous statement about the new PC commercial:
It's good and it's a good counter to the "I'm a Mac," "I'm a PC" ad. But it plays into the idea that your computer should be your identity. What's brilliant about the Mac commercials is they remind you that your computer is your identity, while simultaneously inferring that PCs don't work that well. It's like if someone ran a negative campaign ad about you where they were like "He's ignorant about the economy, and also he wears bow ties," and you ran a response campaign that was like, "I DO NOT wear bow ties. I wear all kinds of ties," and then took pictures of yourself wearing crazy hipster ties in a desperate attempt to look cool, which only makes you look like you're trying way too hard. It makes you look overly defensive like someone's grandma in skinny jeans. No offense, grandmas.

Finally, love this quote about what SNL will be without Amy Poehler from EW's Popwatch blog
"It depends on how long some of the other recurring mainstays -- like Kristen Wiig's bevy of twitchy/bitchy characters and the digital video realizations of whatever Andy Samberg thinks about when he's (seemingly!) exceedingly stoned -- will become tired."
I love how in the last two weeks, they've had Tina Fey on twice and Chris Parnell on once. They're just like "We can't find new talent that you like. How bout these guys? Remember these guys???" I'm still pulling for everyone to fall in fandom for Bobby Moynihan.
