The Freelance Life: I Think I Might Have OCD


Today, in the name of home improvement, I hung some pictures up in my apartment. Now, about every three minutes, I get up to adjust them because they seem to be just a tad off-center. This has happened a lot.

Is this the telltale sign of a genuine psychological disorder? Or am I just taking procrastinating to pathetic new levels?

Steve's Anger



Yesterday I tuned into the Steve Wilkos Show, because did I mention I can WORK FROM HOME WHENEVER I WANT?! Anyway, I figured I'd give it a chance, since the guy was brave enough to sit through a Chinese food lunch with Patrick and Lisa. Right when I tuned in, there was a guy (I'm stroking my black Macbook, if you catch my drift) in a shirt and tie seated on stage, and Steve just yells, "Are you stalking here?!" And the guy goes, "Yeah." So Steve yells, "Get up!" grabs the guys chair, and then screams, "Stalkers don't get to sit on my stage!" And the crowd went absolutely apeshit. It was pretty spectacular, and I was thinking back on that lunch. What if Patrick would have accidentally let a risque anecdote slip? I can picture Steve grabbing Pat's chair and yelling, "People who aren't medically allowed to give blood don't get to eat Szechuan with me!" Or maybe, "I don't share sesame noodles with people who do that in Vancouver hotel rooms!"

Meeting An Arab


Does anyone remember when one of the actors from the soon-to-be released The Kingdom stopped by the Stuff offices to say "Hi"? Well, Dan doesn't—and he even shook his hand!

Should I Get Thai or Middle Eastern Food For Lunch???

A man gets to make a decision like this so late in the day when he sleeps till 11.

SPOTTED: Alpha Media Bigwig and Sopranos Star


Sadly, I wasn't able to snag a reservation at Rao's...but I did have a tasty meatball!
