I DID THIS ONCE

Morgan — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 18:52:30 +0000

A while ago I saw this video:

And was inspired to create this video:

Hey, me: Do that kind of thing some more.

PARIS WRAP-UP

Morgan — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 17:11:02 +0000

Paris was great. Of course. The best part was my little sister’s dance piece (saw the dress rehearsal and a regular performance). The runner-up was everything else, in a 178-way tie.

I took a few pictures, such as this one at Sainte-Chapelle…

And this one at the Pere Lachaise cemetery…

I also made a little youtube video out of the flip cam footage I shot of my post-sunset cruise of the Seine, on the last night of my trip…

I would like to return to Paris as soon as possible. Preferably as a rich person, and/or with a lady friend. If you are a lonely rich lady who would like a Paris companion, shoot me an e-mail or something. Let’s make it happen.

A NEW HOME

Morgan — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 08:44:49 +0000

You found me! Well done.

I transferred all of my old blog’s content to this, the Morgan Phillips Mega Site. Relatively painlessly, too.

Then I spent five hours updating and tweaking.

EVERYTHING MUST BE PERFECT.

As a reward for your excellent internet sleuthing skills, I present to you this amazing youtube video (h/t to bullet-proof glace). Enjoy. And welcome.

OMNIBUS

1. There is an awkward dynamic at play in computer-less temp jobs, when it comes to downtime. It worries the boss if you whip out a book, because then other office workers will think, “Oh, look, a temp with no work to do. Somebody is wasting the company’s money. And that’s why we can’t afford cocoa for the kitchen area anymore.” The thoughtful temp instead passes work-less time in a subtler fashion. Case in point: Today I memorized pi to 20 decimal places.*

2. I have an improv show on Thursday, and might have one on Friday. But forget that noise. You should go see the new Charlie Sanders one-man-show at UCB in NYC on Friday. (Oh, it’s at 8pm? Then you could see my shows, too. Bonus!)

3. This live performance haunts my (morphorotic) dreams. Some day soon I will write a post dissecting the lyrics of this song, possibly the worst lyrics ever written, ever, ever.

If you can make it all the way to the end of the video, you are awesome.

. . .

*Unless it isn’t 3.14159265358979323846 — if it isn’t, then I memorized pi to 20 incorrect decimal places. Which is equally as useful to me.

Now is a time for post-partisanship and coming together. That being said… this video is a must-watch.

MUXTAPE-ISH

Not sure how long this will last, but there’s a new muxtape-like site that takes the audio from youtube videos and makes a playlist out of them: MixTube.

Here’s a playlist with the songs from my a cappella rock band’s latest album:

Here’s a dumb little commercial mash-up I made. Enjoy.

NERD PRIDE

I subscribe to the search term “Swarthmore” in YouTube. That’s my alma mater, don’t you know. Swarthmore College. Swat.

Watching the beginning of this video, I was embarrassed. Then the embarrassment gradually morphed into pride. People this joyfully and unashamedly nerdy must be really, really smart, right? And I went to the same school as them! So I must be smart, too! Probably!

You go, Swatties!

Just to clarify, and all joking aside: I really do think this is pretty awesome.

APACHE CHIEF

admin — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 05:41:43 +0000

As a child watching the Superfriends I always wondered why Apache Chief didn’t do more. Now I know. To him, we were ants. Motes of dust. Less. We should be grateful that he bothered to help us at all.

Warning: This clip cuts off just before the very end of the episode. You pretty much know what will happen next, but it’s still disappointing.

Also, this cartoon gets one or two things about physics wrong. In case you’re picky about that sort of thing.
