A few choice excerpts from his New York Times Obit:

In 1969, after six months alone on the Atlantic battling storms, sharks and encroaching madness, John Fairfax, who died this month at 74, became the first lone oarsman in recorded history to traverse any ocean.

In 1972, he and his girlfriend, Sylvia Cook, sharing a boat, became the first people to row across the Pacific, a yearlong ordeal during which their craft was thought lost.

For all its bravura, Mr. Fairfax’s seafaring almost pales beside his earlier ventures. Footloose and handsome, he was a flesh-and-blood character out of Graham Greene, with more than a dash of Hemingway and Ian Fleming shaken in.

At 9, he settled a dispute with a pistol. At 13, he lit out for the Amazon jungle.

At 20, he attempted suicide-by-jaguar. Afterward he was apprenticed to a pirate. To please his mother, who did not take kindly to his being a pirate, he briefly managed a mink farm, one of the few truly dull entries on his otherwise crackling résumé, which lately included a career as a professional gambler.

Seriously!?

Are you guys watching Morgan’s Show yet?  It’s so incredibly comforting, I don’t know what I’m gonna do when the series wraps Friday.  It’s like Friends getting cancelled all over again!*

*What?  Friends was voluntarily shut down?!  That’s crazy! Read the rest of this entry »

This shit cray.*

I’M GONNA GET SO MANY TATTOOS NOW!

So I had a short film that I made play at the Tumblr festival in LA awhile back and during the same block, this film played and was cute and great, and really had a lot of fun with a simple spin on the end of the world idea.  I usually not into apocalypse films, because I’m too busy being anxious about today to worry about impending doom.  But this I like.

I wanna go gay for Azealia Banks.

So this trend of Shit (Blank) Say is pretty, um. Well, it’s a thing. Anywhoozle! My friends Ilana Glazer, Eliot Glazer and Matt Mayer made this one so it’s great and they are great and we love them so don’t hate, appreciate. Jesse Jackson?

So I was just googling some stuff, and this movie came up. Don’t ask me what I was googling.* Anyway, this movie is really good. You get to see a guy get whipped in the dick. Also, it’s very funny and sweet. Remember movies like The Apartment, when the comedy and the sweet and sad were all intermingled? This is sorta like that but with more dick whipping.

*I was googling the IFC films website, if you must know.

This song is great.
