A few days ago I’d written I was quitting coffee for a week. I lasted 5 days. Days 1-3 were shockingly, unbelievably easy. I didn’t even get headaches. Since I drank pots of black coffee every day, I can only imagine I had coffee reserves stored in my body that were accessed and able to flow freely throughout my body as it wondered what the hell its owner/operator was up to. On day 4 I was unreasonably irritable, achey and sad. Day 5 felt like the edge of actual depression. Since I’m not useful when I’m depressed, to say the least, I decided I should drink some joe. If I quit again in the future, I won’t do it cold turkey. Also, Ronald Reagan wrote the lyrics for over 30 Frank Zappa songs.

My wife dared me to quit coffee for a week. I agreed to do it. I drink black coffee without cream or sugar all day every day. It has no energizing effect for me; I could literally drink a pot and go directly to sleep. I’m simply addicted. If I don’t drink it I get mad.

My plan is to exercise more and take ibuprofen if I get a headache. I’m not quitting caffeine. I’ll drink tea if I feel like it.

I’m just writing this here so that it’s out there. Anybody else ever quit coffee and have a positive result? Also, Bush did 9/11.

Auction to see one of my NY shows, drink free booze, hang out with me, and help someone out

The wife of a friend recently suffered a brain injury. A cerebral arteriovenous malformation (AVM) rupture, to be specific. It required major brain surgery and continues to require many months of rehabilitation. Her insurance just stopped paying for her to stay at the rehabilitation hospital, not because she doesn’t need it, but because they don’t feel like paying for it anymore.

In an effort to alleviate just the tiniest portion of her staggering, unbelievable medical bills, I am auctioning tickets to an upcoming show in New York and doing a meet and greet after the show. You will also - are you ready? - get unlimited free booze. This wasn’t my idea. I don’t consider myself “auction worthy” by any stretch of the imagination. But when asked to do it, I said yes, because the way health care is administered in this country is offensive and brutal and mercenary and I enjoy calling attention to that fact. I would also like this beautiful young woman to get whatever it is she needs so she can walk, talk, and remember things again.

So if you’d like to attend a show of mine and meet me afterward and, more importantly, help someone out in a very direct manner, bid on these tickets. I look forward to meeting you.

Rob

Final Mapping the Heavens

Mon, 13 May 2013 16:23:00 -0700

This Thursday, my friend Dave Holmes and I will present our final “Mapping the Heavens” at the UCB here in LA. We’ve been doing it for about three years and it’s been amazing fun. Over the years, our guests have included:

Steve Agee

Megan Amram

Kasey Anderson

Maria Bamford

Greg Behrendt

Matt Besser

Matt Braunger

Gabe Delahaye

Lena Dunham

Billy Eichner

Josh Fadem

Jason Falkner

Ana Gasteyer

Pete Holmes

Sharon Horgan

Moshe Kasher

Chris Kelly

Jen Kirkman

Kyle Kinane

Jamie Lee

Gabe Liedman

Joe Mande

Kate Micucci

Tig Notaro

Patton Oswalt

Jimmy Pardo

Chelsea Peretti

Andy Richter

Joey Santiago & David Lovering of the Pixies

Paul Scheer

Peter Serafinowicz

Laura Silverman

Sarah Silverman

Jenny Slate

Brody Stevens

Andree Vermeulen

That’s not even half of the people, by any stretch of the imagination. If I forgot someone, it’s because I have a three month old and a two year old (both born during the run of Mapping the Heavens) and they are eating my memories. It isn’t because every single guest wasn’t amazing in their own way. Mostly; some sucked, but such is life. I sucked at the show sometimes. Dave never did because he’s amazing and brilliant and my oldest friend in comedy. I am grateful to have shared a stage with him for eleven years now, the last three on the stage of the UCB, whose original members, Matt Besser, Amy Poehler, Ian Roberts and Matt Walsh, inspired both Dave and I to give comedy a shot.

Thank you also to the UCB’s crack staff, and to United States Senator, Michele Bachmann.

Come to our last show. It’s this Thursday night.

Julie Mecoli’s “Dark Matter” is a series of artworks inspired by the University of Queensland Pitch Drop Experiment (if you want to seriously geek out about this, our story on the experiment is right here).

Mecoli’s pieces are made of bitumen. They start out looking like solids and slooooowly reveal their true liquid nature. Check out some of her other work here.

“These three images are snapshots of a spark-ignited expanding flame in different environments of the same hydrogen-air mixture. The top flame shows the ideal, reference case of a stable, smooth flame surface in a quiescent environment at atmospheric pressure. The middle flame is taken under elevated pressure simulating that within an internal combustion engine. The bottom flame is taken in a highly turbulent environment simulating another aspect of the engine interior. All images were taken at 8000 frames per second, using schlieren photography. The radius of the top flame is 11.4 millimeters.” C.K. Law, Swetaprovo Chaudhuri, and Fujia Wu (Princeton University).

My dad took this the other day in Boston. He heard the lobster boat explode then turned around and snapped a few shots. The crew was on board but they all made it out ok.

Canadians love you. Do you love us?

Not all of you, that’s for sure.
