Where I’ve Been & What I’m Doing: Not an Essay
Insert "down the rabbit hole" reference here. Look smart.
Hello, Grantland readers! Thanks for stopping by. You found me running a clip show. How embarrassing for all of us. For those of you that aren’t readers of Grantland, you should be, especially since they used my video of Darth Vader throwing out the first pitch at last Friday’s Dodger game.
- You may recall a long time ago (see, last post) when I talked about our postponement of Easter. It happened. We thanked the rabbits accordingly. Or we may have thanked a snake. I don’t know. Someone dropped some jelly beans and I wasn’t sticking my hand in the hole to get them back, although, to be clear, I’m a firm believer in the non-hurting qualities of dirt.
- I attended the world premiere of The Avengers, and my thoughts on the movie are under embargo until May, but seeing as half the internet has ignored that nugget I’ll give you this much: The Avengers movie is freaking fantastic. Also, Sam Jackson gave me the stink eye:
- Speaking of Disney, I took a trip to Pixar Animation Studios, and it was exactly as amazing as I thought it would be. I thought it would be really amazing. I shot arrows!
- In other news, I was put on the spot by my 8-year-old when he brought up the subject of sex. I handled it okay, but visit DadCentric and let me know what you think!
- Last, but not least, I have a new post up at Babble’s Dadding, and your pageviews could send a kid to camp. Not really. However, I would greatly appreciate any traffic you could send my way. It’s cute pictures of kids, people, what’s not to click?
Tune in later this week as I’ve got some spring cleaning to do, and that means giveaways for all the readers (but mostly the winners)!

Did you meet Andrew Stanton at Pixar? He and I worked for my uncle one summer. Now I just hear about him through our parents–you know and the news since he went and got all famous.
I didn’t, but if I ever do I’ll tell him you said hi!
Dude. You’re on FIRE. And I’m incredibly jealous of your Pixar trip.
You should be, it was freaking fantastic!
Between your Avengers viewing and your visit to Pixar, it’s obvious your job is totally more fun than what the rest of us do. Awesome post.

What I get in fun I more than make up for by lack of income. And then some. But yes, that stuff was amazing!
I would have been glad to get the old stinkeye from Sam. I might have given it back. Cool trips and events go a long way, not as far as cold hard cash- but…
Jack@TheJackB´s last [type] ..The Best Bloggers Are Storytellers Part 2
I’d have to say, and trust me, I’m broke, that these specific events do beat cold, hard cash, because there is no way I could have bought these experiences with blogging money. To be clear, I do like cash though.
