Sherman Alexie

I did a project about Sherman Alexie for a poetry class in college. My favorite poems of his are "Evolution" and "On the Amtrak from Boston to New York City." I remember joking about him having a mullet.

Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised to see him on the Colbert Report. It seemed odd to me that, in searching for a video of the interview, I came across this footage of Alexie speaking shortly after 9/11. Maybe because the poetry class that I didn't go to the morning of 9/11 was the same poetry class in which I gave my Alexie presentation. I could gush about how cathartic his words are for me now, but I'll let Alexie speak for himself.

Tub Talk

I came across this video on the Venture Bros. Blog and immediately crushed on Sara Benincasa so hard that my brain melted into my esophagus.

"Do you know how many nerds just came in their pants?"

QT Top 20 & Mixtape

In honor of the Inglourious Basterds, I present you with Quentin Tarantino's Top 20 since 1992 (ie. the year Reservoir Dogs came out). And, as a bonus, "The Tarantino Mixtape" by video remix magician Eclectic Method.
