This video is of Merton, the freestyling pianist who hosts an improv session with random strangers. He sings about them. It's pretty fun.

For carnivores with a sweet tooth: If you happen to be in the neighbourhood of New York City's Chelsea area, you might want to feast at a newish restaurant named Tipsy Parson where they serve a "Luther" bacon cheeseburger sandwiched between two honey glazed donuts.

Yes, I'm quite serious. Why it's called the "Luther" burger and not the "Homer J. Simpson" burger, I have no idea. But it's inventive.

I don't do limits. Don't tell me the sky's the limit when I know there are footprints on the moon. I'm allowed to want things. I'm allowed to feel things. And there is no limit on my wants. Or how far I dare tread to get there. Maybe my wants are my needs.

My advice to myself: Walk where I want to walk.

The Handsome Men's Club

In an after-Oscar special last night, Jimmy Kimmel called a meeting with The Handsome Men's Club. It follows the legendary "I'm fucking Matt Damon" and "I'm fucking Ben Affleck" skits.

So handsome. And no doubt, to be continued...
