My Geeky, Inebriated Weekend
• I won't lie to you: I regularly go to the comic book store, and am proud of myself if I can walk out without having spent more than $20. This, I realize, is a bad habit in all sorts of ways, both in terms of financial responsibility and sexual-obstacle-building, but I've come to accept it, and so should you.
• But I went to Golden Apple on Friday because Patton Oswalt and Thomas Lennon were there with some other writers and artists signing a "Treehouse of Horror" comic they'd worked on. I've never read a "Simpsons" comic, and doubt I will again, but the opportunity to meet Oswalt and Lennon, and to have Oswalt sign my copy of Werewolves and Lollipops, was too great to pass up.
• I also spent Saturday evening at Dimples, performing some karaoke and helping a friend ring in a new year. More photos are available here, but two things are probably worth mentioning:
(a) Under the influence, I sing with no small amount of twang. My rendition of "Fire Escape" was almost a country pop song.
[Picture redacted for the greater good, namely the interest of preserving my parents' delusion that I'm a good, or at least reasonably well-behaved, person.]
(b) Trishelle was there. We all knew it, and we all talked about it. My roommate, attempting to take a picture of me on stage, accidentally snapped a picture of her when she walked in front of the camera.

oh man, that's hella cool
Very nice cleavage Trishelle, thank you.
Dude, I'm geeky jealous. Though Patton looks like he could be your retarded little brother.
Darek that arne't funny I hjae feelings you know.
Also,
My god, Patton Oswalt is a tiny, tiny man. I know that's obvious, but to see it in such a stark contrast...
Who is Trishelle? Am I missing out on something?
1. Patton Oswalt is a funny man. He made me laugh on Conan the other night, promoting Ratatouille.
2. Where do I get the unredacted pics? Is this something I have to pay extra for?
3. Trishelle, who I still have never seen or heard of before in my life, but apparently everyone else has, is displaying classic "coke eyes rolling back into your head" and is wearing one of the most hideous red jackets I have ever seen. In addition, she left w/ a very shady blond-haired gentleman who was probably associated with the adult film industry. He had that sheen.
4. That hot blonde DJ/emcee and I are getting married. She just doesn't know it yet.
I loves me some Patton.
Way to steal my Winnie Cooper meeting thunder, Dan. Way... to... go.
PS: That's awesome, and I'm totally jealous.
