1 Comments | Posted October 29, 2009 | 11:14 AM (EST)


(For Part 1 of this story, click here.)

Going on medication to treat mental illness is yet another painful aspect of the disease. First admitting that there is a problem, but then coming to grips with the fact that one's brain cannot function without pharmaceutical intervention is especially difficult....

Eric Millegan on Living (and Acting) with Bipolar Disorder: Part 1

7 Comments | Posted October 27, 2009 | 10:19 PM (EST)


Mental illness is one of the most frightening things that can happen to a human being. It's like fighting an invisible war. Not imaginary -- invisible. It's there, but no one can see it, but the person fighting it feels every inch of it. And hopefully, others will believe it...

The SNL Shorts: Part 2 - Reaching the Masses

Posted September 22, 2009 | 11:26 AM (EST)


Yesterday, I talked about how the short films of Saturday Night Live have evolved since the show began. But what about reaching an audience beyond that of the show?

Gary Weis and Tom Schiller were sort of pioneers in their day because as Schiller notes, "There was hardly anyone...

If there is anything worse than being unemployed, it's being trapped in a terrible job and having to remind yourself that you're lucky to have one at all, even if it means driving for over an hour in traffic with a knot in your stomach and a lump in your...

Red Is the New Pink

Full disclosure: I didn't watch President Obama's speech last night. For one thing, I know where I stand on healthcare reform (in favor). For another, I forgot. This is rather irresponsible for someone who regularly follows and occasionally writes about politics, especially since healthcare reform is one of the most...

Top 10 Reasons Why I (Lovingly) Ripped Off "I'm On a Boat" (VIDEO)

1 Comments | Posted August 25, 2009 | 11:30 AM (EST)


Really, the reason I did it is because I wrote some really funny lyrics one day and couldn't just let them collect dust. But here are some other reasons why I did "I'm On a Date."

10. The world needs another white rapper.

9. The look of fear on the...

Tom DeLay: Making the Saints Cry One Rumba at a Time

6 Comments | Posted August 17, 2009 | 02:05 PM (EST)


Tom DeLay is going to be on "Dancing With the Stars." Oh. My. Effing. God.

When I saw that, I reacted. Viscerally. I couldn't pinpoint why, nor could I fully identify what I was feeling about this, but the idea of that man in a spangly costume, shaking his...

An Open Letter to Jessica Simpson

I say to you, first, a belated Happy Birthday. Second, I can only kind of imagine how much it could have sucked to be dumped by your boyfriend right before turning 29. Turning 29 sucks enough; I know because I did it in January. But to have a serious relationship...

Gwynnie: In Which She Defends GOOP

I thought since Gwyneth Paltrow was on "The Tonight Show" promoting her Crisco-covered legs and her blog GOOP that I might join in the fun. Behold, my first sketch, currently running on Funny or Die.

Marriage Equality: It's Up to You, New York!

Posted June 2, 2009 | 02:01 PM (EST)


Honestly, this should be a no-brainer. My home state of New York has the opportunity to provide equal protection for same-sex couples and some state senators are on the fence? Governor Paterson supports it and the Assembly has passed the bill twice with bipartisan support. NY Senators: This is the...

"Bones" Season Finale Goes Batsh*t Crazy

8 Comments | Posted May 13, 2009 | 02:07 PM (EST)


First off, at the beginning of the season, I gave Hart Hanson, the creator of Fox's "Bones" some homework, and he failed miserably. But honestly, there is no way to judge a current season based on things you want resolved from past seasons, so Mr. Hanson gets a pass....

Congratulations, Sorry and Thank You to the Most Popular (and Lucky) College Graduate, Jimmy Fallon!

Posted May 11, 2009 | 02:02 PM (EST)


Jimmy Fallon's newly obtained college degree may not seem like a big deal to many people besides Jimmy Fallon and his close friends and family. But you know what? I was pretty psyched about it. Why? Because it took me forever to get my college degree. I got my BA...

Bones and Booth Are Gonna Do It -- and I'm OK with That

Posted March 11, 2009 | 02:32 PM (EST)


It's been nearly a year since I posted my first blog about Bones, and while we've had our ups and downs, it's still my favorite show on TV. One of the things I liked the most though, the platonic partnership of Temperance Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and Seeley Booth (David...

Hear Me Out While I Posit That The Wrestler Was Inspired by "Hot Rod"

Posted March 3, 2009 | 11:47 PM (EST)


Before completely writing me off, I know it must seem a bit strange to compare an Oscar-nominated and award-winning film with a small movie that flew under even the cultiest radar in 2007. But hear me out: I absolutely think that "The Wrestler," while maybe not inspired by, was preceded...

Killer Sequels: The Gravedigger Returns to "Bones" (Not Jason)

First off, it has to be mentioned that the new "Friday the 13th" movie is opening next week, and I was airheaded enough to have to Google its release date. (For those of you as airheaded as I am, it opens next week - on Friday the 13th.)

Sacred American Marriage from the Producers of Top Chef!

Posted February 2, 2009 | 11:45 AM (EST)


I'm so glad CBS is going to show us how sacred the institution of heterosexual American marriage is by making it a game show for the teevee.

In a new series tentatively called Arranged Marriage, contestants will have a spouse chosen for them by friends and family, just...

As I mentioned about this time last week, Bones was returning with two new episodes this week at 8:00 PM on Thursday as opposed to its usual...well, one. In fact, Fox is so excited that it's not even all that clear which episode is airing at 9:00 PM! In...
