sunday morning.
it’s sunday morning. sunday used to be a day of dread, because i used to get so anxious about work on monday, i couldn’t enjoy the day at all.
today, i woke up a little earlier than normal, felt a little sleepy, but hangover-free.
i’ve been listening to magnolia electric co. all morning and letting the daylight creep into my room.
i was just thinking about how much better...
magnolia electric co. - hammer down

generational movies: away we go
wheniwascruel reminded me to make this post. away we go is the new movie coming out starring john krasinski and maya rudolph. it’s a story of a couple in their late 20s/early 30s having a child for the first time traveling across the country searching for the perfect place to call their “home”.
when i saw this trailer, i thought to myself “i’m in my late 20s. ...
julia allison part 2.
coincidentally in the past 5 minutes, people reblogging and liking my previous post (thanks bagcoffee) has put me ahead in the rankings.
so you guys have been on tumblr for a while.. how does it work?
who do i need to call at tumblr to get my check sent out?
when do i qualify for the 401k?
now that i’ve reached the pinnacles of internet fame, should i wear a tuxedo everywhere i go? or...
julia allison.
i don’t really have the slightest fucking clue how “tumblarity” works.
all i know is that thanks to the kindness of some of my new tumblr amigos and followers, and a silly article about time travel-related sex, i somehow shot up. apparently, i’m ranked 2 below JULIA ALLISON?!
she’s at #2,807 and i’m #2,809.
isn’t she famous or something?!

i have not watched a full episode of the simpsons, ever. and i don’t intend to.
you know, me either. i just never thought it was particularly funny. i back this post.

One-way?! Am I moving to Brooklyn?
If so, I’ll bring my tent, which will be the only type of housing I will be able to afford. Sounds like an adventure to me!
Watchso every year in richmond, everyone’s favorite sushi restaurant, sticky rice, hosts a ridiculous road trip competition called cannonball run or CBR for short. it’s like a mix of mtv road rules, a scavenger hunt, and binge drinking. every year people form teams and then they travel off to some mystery destination and do various challenges. it is ridiculous.

iron & wine - communion cups and...
decoration day recordings.
so, if you’ve hung out with me at all over the past few months, i might have drunkenly told you about a new musical project i was working on. not a new band, but something i’m equally, if not more, excited about. a few months back i decided i wanted to start a record label. inspired by the music my friends are making, i decided to take things into my own hands and see if i...
record purchases
yesterday i escaped plan 9 without spending TOO much money.
i got these little gems:
mark kozelek - lost verses live
iron and wine - around the well
memorial day.
so i’ve decided i’m going to cross-post in tumblr and over at the ol’ blogspot until i figure out what i’m doing. i love the dashboard and the ease of use here, but this is definitely not going to be a “post a bunch of pictures” kinda blog, which i think is what tumblr seems to be mostly all about.
today is memorial day. i woke up early to get mari off to the...
tumblr.
90 minutes into being on tumblr and i already have been rickrolled once.
off to a great start.
whiskey and i are going to a bar to drink away the pain of mr. astley.

WHISKEY INTERVIEW PHIL FROM RICHMOND
WE TALK ABOUT ME NOT DRINKING, BATTLE FIELDS AND WHERE TO FUCKING GET YOUR CHILL ON HERE IN TOWN.
BOOM. WOOF. PS HES ALSO REALLY REALLY HOT
I’m re-blogging. TUMBLR. WOOF.
hi tumblr!
oh tumblr, how i’ve looked longingly at your beautiful layouts and easy-to-use dashboard. sitting in my blogspot fortress, i longed for the day when i could run free through your golden fields.
now i’m giving it a try.
i am not sure if it will stick, but i’m thinking i might as well give it a try, right?
i’m not officially announcing the switch until i get the hang of...
thinking about moving to tumblr.
you have 8-10 hours to convince me otherwise. love, phil
how to have sex with a friend who has a boyfriend
stolen from batteriesfeelincluded: So, you’re in love with one of your friends, but she has a boyfriend and probably wouldn’t have sex with you anyway. What you will need: 1 x knife, 1 x ring, access to a sunbed, the ability to grow a beard. Step One: Place the ring on your wedding finger and avoid contact with your friend for a month. Step Two: Stop shaving and use the sunbed to gain...
i love this so much.
i stole this from one of my longtime amazing friends gianina who tweeted this earlier today. thank you for sharing. astronomers discovered that black holes emit a single note, which happens to be B flat. the stars are playing our song. http://inbflat.net/
lunchblog.
i eat lunch every single day. it’s totally great, because it’s the perfect way to pass the time between breakfast and dinner. whoever invented it is a total genius. i don’t usually make it my business to blog my lunch, but today my friends, is an exception. today i got off work early (thanks memorial day weekend!) and decided to make my way up to midtown for a late lunch at the...
behold: the power of the internet
if i were to ask you what the #1-selling apparel item this week on amazon.com is, would you have ever guessed THIS?! yes, that’s right. thanks to pranksters at collegehumor.com who basically urged people to a) buy the shirt and b) leave over-the-top dramatic reviews of the shirt. the reviews are incredible, people saying they’re “swimming in a sea of babes” and increasing...
oh shit! guess who's coming to richmond?!
in the ultimate effort to combine our blogs to form ONE GIANT SUPERBLOG, the lovely mari will be coming down to richmond for a vacation weekend of debauchery and fun. mari and i have been friends for many many years and it’s always epic when we hang out. but it’s usually ME traveling up to the big bad NYC to visit. this time i’m calling the shots and i plan to show her how we...
death from above: nerf style
so the nerf war has escalated in intensity in the past few days. i gave up on my giant nerf destroyer gun. it looks intimidating as all hell, but it actually doesn’t shoot worth shit. it’s a valuable lesson in bigger isn’t necessarily better. here is the bazooka in all it’s glory: the gun i am now currently using is a modded nerf pistol. using some rubber bands, i have...
thomas lennon.
thomas lennon is hands down my favorite cast member of the well-loved often-referenced sketch comedy show “the state”. he made this little video to convince people to vote for his and paul rudd’s kiss in “i love you, man” for the best kiss for the MTV movie awards. the video is chock-full of ridiculous tom lennon things, so i had to share:

morning commute.
the best part about commuting downtown to my job every morning is that you can catch this amazing run of green lights going down cary street. if you time it just right, the lights in front of you are all red and as you approach them, they always turn green. just when you think you’re going to have to hit your brakes - green light. it’s perfection. sometimes i think, “this is...
aereogramme - a winter's dischord
why do i find solace in the most depressing music? so good.
finally i have had enough just one last journey to your island where there’s no peace and some kind of useless love wrapped in a lesson that i’ll never learn one last chance to hide upstairs to watch the tail-lights from the window maybe i’m wrong maybe i’ve always been stronger to question all i held...

this is brilliant.
underwear modeling
so this is something i’m not entirely comfortable sharing on the internet, but i figure why the hell not? i recently did an underwear modeling shoot on the roof of our apartment. it was for one of my photographer friend’s portfolio and i thought it would be something i could cross off my list of “things i thought i would never do”. i think they turned out surprisingly...
HEY LOOK AT MY TEETH
friday night, kenny and i had a rare encounter with some of the usual crazies that hang out in the vicinity of our apartment. the walk to the bar from our apartment crosses through some of the sketchier blocks of richmond and without fail, something hilarious, creepy, or downright scary tends to happen. this was no exception. we passed by the bus stop at the corner and a woman yells at kenny and...
this was me last night
steampunk starwars
i stumbled on this little gem on the internet today. it’s some guy’s re-imagining of star wars in a steampunk universe. i just realized that many of you probably have no idea what steampunk is, and i don’t think i can really go into detail without taking up a few pages, but it’s a sci-fi fantasy nerd thing and you can read all about it on the wikipedia page. the look is...
maru.
oh hey maru! it’s been a few weeks, i just wanted to check in. what’s that? you’re still doing good? you’re still the cutest cat in the world? oh okay, awesome. i’m gonna come visit you in japan someday, my friend. i’ll bring cat toys. sincerely, your human friend phil p.s. - keep an eye out for me, i should be there soon.
tonight on 240 minutes.

THIS GUY. this morning mom drove down to richmond for a late mother’s day solo hang sesh with her beautiful first-born son, phil. we started the day off right with a trip to the lewis ginter botanical gardens. i spent about two hours with my mom looking at flowers and plants. i wouldn’t normally call myself a “botanical gardens” type of dude, but it was absolutely...
