Do You Have a Plane (or Plane Set) We Can Use?
We at Human Giant are trying desperately to a shoot sketch that requires the interior of an airplane. Unfortunately, our attempts at securing one have fallen short (primarily due to exorbitant costs). If you might be able to help us get access to an airplane set or any kind of plane that we could fake to be the interior of a 747, please let us know immediately. If you can be of any help, please email Aziz at aziz@azizisbored.com. Thanks!

This might be my favorite scene from all 4 seasons of "The Wire," and maybe even television in general.

Friday Night Lights
If you are a fan of television, and haven't already seen it by this point, stop reading and go buy Friday Night Lights Season 1 and watch it.
The last show Patton Oswalt pushed on me was "The Wire," which might be my favorite TV show ever. This year, he urged me to check out "Friday Night Lights." I blasted through all 22 episodes over a Thanksgiving weekend marathon and holy shit was it good. I can only really compare it to "The Wire," in the way you are gripped by the hardships of so many different characters. Seriously, invest some time and check out this show.
Also, like "The Wire," there are some humorous moments as well. Case in point - my favorite character - BUDDY GARRITY! "Friday Night Lights" fans - enjoy this YouTube gem!

NYMag's New York Diet
Photo by Melissa Hom
I did NYMag's New York Diet this week. I basically wrote about what I ate for a week.
Here's the link.
My favorite meal of the week was actually on Saturday at this restaurant Smith's. I guess it didn't make it in for space or because I was only supposed to keep track of meals starting on Sunday, but here's that recap, just because the food there is so great.
SATURDAY
On Saturday, I woke up late and skipped lunch and decided I would really try to blow it out for dinner. I wanted to try somewhere new and ventured to Smith's in the West Village. I went with my date Kristen and soon after the meal, I realized I was in love - with Smith's!!! It was fucking awesome! We started off splitting the artichoke pasta appetizer. For the main's, we split a cod with black pepper tagliolini and a grilled lobster with butternut squash puree. They were outstanding. Our two sides were the polenta and the cauliflower with cheese. Also great. It was all ridiculously tasty, well done Smith's, I will see you again soon. (Kristen's company was also pretty good). 11:26 AM-Permalink

Downtown Clay Davis on Human Giant!
Paul and I lost it on Monday when Isiah Whitlock aka Clay Davis from "The Wire" was gracious enough to play a small part in Season 2 of Human Giant. Isiah was awesome and said he was psyched for Season 5 of "The Wire." And no, we didn't make him say "sheeeeeeee-it."
Here's Isiah's classic berating of Mayor Royce from Season 4 ("Shee-it" included):

Souls of Mischief - "'93 Til Infinity"
I enjoy Kanye West's "Classic Material" posts on his blog, so I'm gonna try to do something similar for a week.
This was my favorite hip hop song when I was a junior/senior in high school. Kanye's recent post reminded me how good it is:

Radiohead.TV Look Out!
Sure, everyone's all psyched for the awesome clips on Radiohead.tv, but this gentlemen is giving Thom and Co. a run for his money with his self-made video for "15 Step." Well done.
Radiohead.tv really does have some really sick stuff on it though. These guys are putting everyone else in the game to shame. Hey MTV, please give Radihoead 24 hours to do more weird shit like this! (And maybe toss in an episode of Human Giant or two). Here are some favorites of mine - 2 awesomely bizarre awesome videos for "15 Step" and "Jigsaw," and 2 great covers of a New Order and Smiths tune. Hopefully they'll keep this up for a bit?

Schmitt's Gay
Today we shot at the location where they filmed the Schmitt's Gay Beer Commercial. It was pretty cool to see that house. We tried to turn the water on to get the pool to fill up with water and buff dudes, but the best we got was an oiled up Huebel.

Black Lips
I saw the Black Lips last night at Bowery last night. They were great. Their new album is also great. Check these songs out:
Black Lips - Bad Kids
Black Lips - Cold Hands
Also, the NYTimes finally put the ki-bash on that shitty Times Select business. Sorry all you suckers that coughed up the dough for that. So now, all articles from 1981 on are free! Here's one of my favorites I found today, an essay from Human Giant writer/"the devil" Jon Glaser. Read it and brighten up your day with laughter.

Fabrice Fabrice at the VMAs!
My good friend (?) Fabrice Fabrice covered the VMAs this year and stole the show in my opinion. Here are some videos from 2 days ago. Yesterday, I watched Fabrice just rip people apart on the red carpet and it was probably the best thing I've seen all year, hopefully those will be up soon. Here are the Fabrice videos from two days ago:
