I can’t remember who’s blog/twitter/whatever I got this from, let me know if it was you. It’s a nice, short, “long read.”
UPDATE: It was from Colleen. Thanks Colleen!

Anonymous asked: Hey Carleton, I love Tina Fey's Rules of Improv. They are copyrighted, no? Because I would love to share them with my team at work but do you know, would I need to get from the publisher permission first?

Jordan, Jesse, Go! Episode 203: Bone Manor with... →
Sigh. I relate to this episode more than I’d care to admit. Around minute 25 Jesse starts talking about being asked to apply for a Peabody, which leads to a huge discussion about creating things you’re actually proud of and other quarter-life crisis type anxieties. Not the funniest episode, but well worth a listen.

I’ve come to realize that most of my favorite writers and artists all have the tendency to sound like cranky old men. I don’t like this.
