I had a dream that someone tried to prank call me with Google Duplex but it still only did restaurant reservations. |

The demise of Google Reader, if logical, is a reminder of how far we've come from the cuddly old 'I'm Feeling Lucky' Google days, in which there was a foreseeably-astonishing delight in the way Google's evolving design tricks anticipated what users would like. |

In 2002, Google began an ambitious project to digitize every book in the world. It was intended as a search project: type in a query, and Google would show you snippets. They asked university libraries for books, which they would scan for free. At Harvard we didn't permit them to take works under copyright, but other libraries gave them everything. |

Did I offer peace today? Did I bring a smile to someone's face? Did I say words of healing? Did I let go of my anger and resentment? Did I forgive? Did I love? These are the real questions. I must trust that the little bit of love that I sow now will bear many fruits, here in this world and the life to come. |

I have plenty of dream roles because there is so much I want to do, but my dream year would be to be in a single-camera comedy and then, on my hiatus, film a little low-budget indie drama. That would be a dream 12-month period. A dream role depends on having good material and working with people that I can learn from. |

When I was a kid, among the other embarrassing things I would do, and there's a list of stupid things, but I would make these dumb comedy tapes. I would often make prank phone calls, but I would also do it with friends. |

The only thing I really recommend, if you're starting out in stand-up is to not try to copy anybody else. You can be influenced by people. I was influenced by Steve Martin and Bob Newhart and Woody Allen, but I never tried to be someone else. I always tried to be myself. And the reason people are successful is they're unique. |

In a city, it's very hard to do a restaurant, an avant-garde-cuisine restaurant, where each year you need to change the whole menu. |

Everything I do in my life is very instinctual and in the moment. If I'm attracted to something, that's it. If I have reservations, those don't change till they're resolved. My first impression is how I go. |

I never have reservations about doing anything as long as I'm being paid. |

I like doing accents. One of my friends works in hotel reservations and I'll ring her up and complain about the suite. Sometimes I get her. |

I had a dream that I was at a BBQ of sorts and and there were a bunch of kids with guns and then someone invited their cop friend and that was kind of awkward but then it sort of turned into a restaurant and then I had to go pay and I didn't know what anyone ordered and the waitress was getting upset with me. So I went out to call my friend to ask her what everyone ordered. I had no idea where they were but she and this other person had just left me there and went to a pool party and then one of them was like "hold on, listen carefully to this" and then started using a soundboard to communicate with me so I was pissed and hung up.

I had a dream that Ben and I were at a restaurant and the place was getting robbed. People started shooting and we ran out of the restaurant and into a forest. Some people were chasing us (not the same people?) and we ran through the forest and out into a field that had long fences of different heights. We climbed the fences and tried to kick the people off as they followed behind us.

Lets sum up my last two vivid dreams. Dream 1 we were at a restaurant and I went to the car and was in the back seat and these guys came in the car and were robbing it and I was like heyy Im still here, then they chased me back to the restaurant and I couldn't yell or run barely. Some point after that I went to this really weird town and was like pretending to be this kids dad or something and it was sad and I was on the run. Then the core 4 were all on an island and we were trying to escape and eventually I found a boat, then charlie and ben were there suddenly but we left the girls on the island so I borrowed a boat from the police and then they magically appeared off the island. So that was weird. The other dream from just last night was that I was going to like, vegas but it was really Hawaii and I met some girl from Utah that I seemed to have known, but then partied in Hawaii on this island that actually kind of reminds me of this desert in another dream I had, anyway I also foun...

Call it over stimulated chakras, call it being too cerebral, call it introversion, introspection, anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsion, insomnia, dehydration, high blood pressure, call it preoccupation, call it loneliness, call it unsynchronized vibrations or stress. The truth is you think that you can think your way through life and out of this mindset, and continually finding out that you can't. It's not yoga or mediation, it's not pills or constructive hobbies, exercise or organization. You need to let go.

I had a dream that Veronica and Jacob found 6 baby ducks in the woods and adopted them. Two of them were yellow and we'd all swim down the river together to go to this restaurant. Also there were cicadas that were like bigger than my fist idk

"Back in 99 just before the Y2K scare, my buddy worked there and would get calls like that all the time. He would pick up the phone when they called and not say anything for a second to see if he could hear any snickering before saying the store greeting. If he could tell it was going to be a prank call he would start the greeting and then congratulate them on being the lucky caller that would receive a free game for calling. All they had to do was come down and pick it up. Sounds stupid but it worked every time. When the kids showed up to get the free game he would have them pose with the game they chose, take their picture with the Polaroid camera, take the game from them and then ask “How does it feel to be pranked? Stop calling the store and get out”."

I had a dream that I used a payphone in The Empty Bottle bar in Chicago to call into a radio station and request "Breed" by Nirvana. Wtf brain. First dream I've remembered in a long time and it's so detailed and mundane.
