Blogging Elsewhere (SparkNotes.com)

November 16th, 2009 · 2 Comments

scarletletterI will (and kind of have been) continue updating RamseyEss.com as I do this, but I would be remiss if I didn’t let you know that I am currently blogging over at Sparknotes.com’s blog.

It’s a much different style than what you’ll find here, but basically I’m doing summaries of classic literature with my dumb jokes and commentary for tweens thrown in. So, it’s like regular Sparknotes except with references to Gossip Girls, teen angst and puns.

I just completed a full summary of “The Scarlet Letter” and am now beginning to make fun of Harper Lee’s “To Kill a Mockingbird.” ‘Bout time somebody took that lady down a peg, right?

You can check them all out here.

I Make Posters.

November 8th, 2009 · 1 Comment

Some nice folks at the UCB Theatre in NY have asked me to make some posters for their shows. I done did these for them. (Please email me, if you’d like a poster as well. My rates are surprisingly reasonable because I don’t do this professionally.)

A video that was written by the lovely Alison Bennett that we stayed up until 2AM making and giggling at has been posted by New York Magazine’s website.

WARNING: This video deals with politics and things that are not hamsters.

I put a lot of work into the slides briefly seen in my last post. I thought it only fair (to myself, and your funny bones) that I post them here:

ghost

This is the latest ad from the MTA. Once again, the New York Transit Authority is showing their pro-ghost bias and is forcing the regular Joe AliveGuy to give up his seat for the deceased. Things just haven’t been the same since Mayor Bloomberg, known ghost, took office.
