Louis C.K.’s new FX show, Louie, which debuts tomorrow night. I’ve seen the first four eps. They are mean, meticulously observed and intimidatingly funny. Watch them.
You really ought to read "The Ask" →
It’s a mule-kick of a novel, and I mean that in the best possible way. Loved this paragraph (and about 674 other ones):
“I was also one of those people who hadn’t caught up with the latest social networking site. Maura belonged to most of them. She passed most evenings befriending men who had tried to date-rape her in high school, but I was still stuck in the last virtual...

angry email of the week
In response to the Power Rankings, which are apparently an outlet for my inner torment:
FEEDBACK: Larry, this is my second note to you this week. Now you go on to make mention that Manny Ramirez is washed up and troublesome. Do you watch baseball.

FEEDBACK: Gotta say…your kind of a dick and you jump to extremely harsh conclusions…but with that said I know how it is is this line of work and you have to have strong opinions to stand out.

New Twitter handle
Just so you know: I used be @UncleL, now I’m @LarryDobrow. In the small chance I happen upon a clever, pithy phrase of my own making, I’ll file it there. Okay?

My Griffey memory: Sitting in the Yankee Stadium bleachers on a random schoolnight, gaping in awe as the then 19-year-old smacked two homers way the hell over my head. I remember thinking, “He appears to be proficient at baseball-related activities.”
