So, about my Lana Del Rey article...
I briefly checked tumblr’s “Lana Del Rey” tag to see if anything amusing would pop up and I found someone’s long text post criticizing the silly Lana Del Rey article I wrote for Hello Giggles that was only posted an hour ago.
It was really amusing to see how someone who is not me (and who has disabled all asks and fan mail options, thereby making it impossible to start a...

Here, friends, is the first episode of The Sam Dingman Show, with our very special guest, the marvelous Meghan O’Keefe.
I know what you are thinking:
“Sam, what the cripes are you DOING. In the course of the last few months, you have canceled, launched, re-launched, and endlessly tweaked anywhere from three to ninety-seven podcasts. Why in the world should I listen to this, let...

willhelm4food asked: I'm curious as to more of your opinion on "nerd girl"-"nerd guy" relations. And congratulations on the Dorothy Parker project (does that predate or post-date the Alan Parsons Project?); I'm certainly interested in seeing it once April rolls around.

Things to Worry About by F. Scott Fitzgerald |... →
Things to worry about: Worry about courage Worry about cleanliness Worry about efficiency Worry about horsemanship
Oh, fuck…my horsemanship! I need to buy a saddle…BYE!
(Seriously click the link and read the whole thing. I almost cut and pasted everything, but that seemed unfair to the site that originally cut and pasted it from Fitzgerald’s writings. GO! NOW!)

The Benedict Cumberbatch Situation | Huffington... →
I feel like I could have probably put more thought into publishing this, I needed to get this out of my system so I can think about things other than Benedict Cumberbatch’s performance in Sherlock again.
It’s a great performance. Seriously.

Look out, goons! I'm coming to playyyy...
Good things in my life right now:
I’m getting my hair did after work at Arrojo.
I’m getting dinner with Marcelle after that and she’s taking me to a Nada Surf concert. It’s like being a cool kid in the 1990’s or something, and the 1990’s were the only time anyone should ever have a desire to be cool in (besides the 1810’s and 1920’s).
I get to...

The Beverly Hills Girl: An Interview with Sophia... →
Reading this interview with Hello Giggles founder (so, my technical boss) Sophia Rossi was sooo surreal for me. The interview has all these gorgeous photos of Sophia working in her beautiful, brightly lit Beverly Hills home and it’s such a juxtaposition from where I’m sitting right now: the darkly lit cubicle at my midtown financial firm day job where, yes, I do most of my Hello...

You can wear it like a shirt
Christmas morning, 2011:
Me: Thanks, Mom!
My mom: Do you like it?
Me: It’s nice. I haven’t owned long underwear since I was ten.
My mom: Long underwear?
My sister: Yeah, Mom. You got her long underwear.
My mom: I thought it was a shirt.
Me: It’s long underwear.
My sister: It says “thermal shield-long underwear”.
My mom: Well, I thought the fabric felt nice. I...

Here is an archive of the UStream of tonight’s Hello Giggles show at UCB Theatre East! My contribution starts around 49:00 minutes in. Don’t fast forward though. You should watch the whole thing because everyone was great!
Yeah, that’s right. I just told you how to live your life.
I’m after Jake, whom I’m sorry I didn’t get more time to chat with. He’s a...

I grew up today...
…because I dealt with multiple people who have viscerally hurt me with grace and kindness.
I cannot begin to tell you how many bitter blog posts I’ve deleted in the past few hours. Only, young creative types, know this: you can waste almost a decade of your life seeking the approval of a creative institution before realizing that they’ll never champion you. They’ll put...

What's happening
What happened last night: So yeah, Gaby and I were supposed to do a Ustream thing, but Ustream was down. We will do one in the near future LIVE from my apartment in Queens. There will be wine and I will try to get Lucius on the camera. However, Lucius hates Ustream.
What’s happening tonight: 7pm the world premiere of MEGBitang—a two-prov group consisting of me and Phil Magbitang at...

Someone signed me up for Parents.com yesterday
I’ve gotten like three emails in the last 18 hours congratulating me on the changes happening in my uterus that aren’t even happening in my uterus. Stop sending me emails about babies kicking me from inside my uterus. There are no babies inside my uterus. Stop. Just stop. NO MOAR EMAILS ABOUT MY UTERUS.

Method Acting is my Shit
Today I’m at the PIT being an extra in a friend’s sketch. He told me to bring my laptop or some books so I look like I’m doing work in a coffee shop.
Little does he know that I’m going above and beyond on this one. I’m not “acting” like I’m doing work on my laptop. I am doing work on my laptop.
I’m getting all Method up in this shit....
