Sorry I can’t make it to your party, dinner, or event because I want to watch previously recorded television.

A few hours ago, I landed in Los Angeles, turned on my phone, and confirmed what you already know. Sony Pictures Television is replacing me as showrunner on Community, with two seasoned fellows that I’m sure are quite nice - actually, I have it on good authority they’re quite nice, because…

Karen Gillan wants to be on Inspector Spacetime
We dropped by the Doctor Who studio in Cardiff just before The Ponds wrapped on their final episodes to talk with Karen Gillan about Community’s (NBC) Doctor Who-spoof “Inspector Spacetime”. It turns out she’s a huge fan of both the sitcom and the show within the sitcom. #AmyMeetsAbed

Lemony Snicket, my 2 am person is no longer with us. It’s an on going battle to figure out who should be promoted to 2am person, but I’m glad you feel the same way too.
When I was in my teens and early twenties, with dreams of being a writer, Harlan Ellison’s essays on writing taught me more than anything else did. Truth.

HARLAN 101: ENCOUNTERING ELLISON

i have an odd love of harlan ellison. i cannot explain it.
