This is not true. However, I had some friends over for some wine once and they said I was "classy".
The truth is all blogs are self indulgent to some degree so I will condense some of my favorite lifestyle tips in this post.
I think list format is preferrable, don't you think? Starting with most important...
FOOD
Anything Italian, French or Greek. I also enjoy Vietnamese food (which has a French influence often times).
Restaurants: Osteria Mama, Le Pain Quotidien, Balthazar's
COMEDY
I really enjoy witty, high brow comedy. I also like satirical, observational and physical comedy. It's great when these categories overlap.
Writers/performers: Tina Fey, Melissa McCarthy, Sarah Silverman, Amy Poehler, Dan Harmon, Louis C.K., Larry David, Moshe Kasher, Mindy Kaling and pretty much anyone on SNL.
Here is a picture of the genius Dan Harmon and me.
FILM
Comedies are of course the best form of entertainment you can find. I also watch anything nominated for an award.
Movies: E.T., The Other Guys, Dennis the Menace (1993), Hook, Angels in the Outfield, Superbad, Milk, Indiana Jones 1-3, Star Wars, Back to the Future 1, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Milo and Otis, Jurassic Park, Independence Day, etc.
...Can you tell I grew up in the 90's?
Directors: Martin Scorsese, Woody Allen, Quentin Tarantino, Sophia Coppola, Nancy Meyers, the Coen brothers, Steven Spielberg, Gus Van Sant, Steven Soderbergh, etc.
Most films by these artists are worth a watch.
TELEVISION
Again, mainly comedies.
Shows: Community, Comedy Bang Bang, The Sarah Silverman Program, Saturday Night Live, Bob's Burgers, Parks and Recreation, Family Guy, Kids in the Hall, Flight of the Conchords, Mad Men, The Cleveland Show, Workaholics, Children's Hospital, Delocated, The Colbert Report
I gave you a lot of information to look into today. So, I will continue the condensed list of the finer points of an informed lifestyle in a subsequent post. Keep a look out for part deux (two)!
