Notorious Bright Eyes fan Amanda Palmer took a shower, dried off, drew some eyebrows on, put on her underwear, drank some juice and then got in bed and played a Bright Eyes song on her ukelele, as you can see in the video below...

What else?

Having fun sucks.

We should definitely take life way too seriously.

Cure tickets went on sale this morning..

Come on 9:47, lighten up too. Halloween generally sucks as a holiday but its all worthwhile for seeing large numbers of women channeling their inner slut.

When does Ween go on?

Dressing up for Halloween is for children, women, and gay dudes. Not a good look for straight dudes.

Got an extra cure ticket (I got Saturday, then realized I have to go on Friday). If any of you want it, post here and I will cross post the Criagslist ad. Face.

Personally, dressing up is not my thing, but you really have to be an asshole to be hating on the people that do enjoy it.

Posted by Anonymous | October 31, 2011 10:57 AM

^I am proud to be that very asshole.

Remember that Curb Your Enthusiasm where Larry sees his therapist at the beach in a thong and has to get rid of him? That's how I feel about grown straight men in Halloween costumes. I can't take them seriously after something like that.

11:09 sits at home alone on Halloween because he has no friends

Ian Mackaye was at UCBeast last night, and did this hand motion:

I think that's the Madame Tussaud Ian Mackaye. Freaky.

Yeah I haven't dressed up since I was 12, but if some kid wants to be a vampire or whatever as a means to get laid, then that's their call.

I cast my penis in bronze, and the funny thing is that it didn't even sting that bad when I poured the metal on

Mr. Walsh, Chris Gethard not that funny, just all kitschy UCB branding via celebrity mediocre shows.
30 Rock dialogue can seem so forced the few times
Ive seen it.
