Tyra Banks
The Warden: “I know you hate Tyra, but her show’s sometimes entertaining.”
Me: “Oh, it’s totally entertaining. It’s like watching pure evil.”

P.S. This might be Ronen’s attempt to win Tumblarity by tricking all of the Johnsons to reblog his post. (via nathanjohnson)

“Well, the cream always rises to the crop.”

Winter In Lynchburg, Virginia
“I spent a lot of time hating things. I hated that I was going to a Christian college, I hated that I was associated with Jerry Falwell, and I hated that I was really fucking cold.”

RENT
This is (sort of, in a very loose sense of the term) a Movie Review of the film Rent that I wrote for my cousin’s website (rcjohnso.com) years and years ago. I haven’t revisited the film since, nor seen the Broadway production, but after rereading my review tonight, I more or less stand by my nineteen-year-old-self’s reaction to it. My one major caveat in rereading my review is...
Movie Reviews
Here are some Movie Reviews I wrote for my cousin Rian’s website five or six years ago. I still don’t know why I don’t have a high-paying job as a critic yet.

SUMMER MOVIE REVIEWS
Even though I’ve been working on a real tour-de-force of a novel in my free time, I never really write any of it, so I’m going to start writing some movie ...
Book Reviews

The Gospel According To Luke is a book about a guy named Jesus, written from a guy named Luke’s perspective. The main character dies in the end, but don’t worry because three...
Hal & Mario
Hal: Mario, what do you get when you cross an insomniac, an unwilling agnostic and a dyslexic?
Mario: I give.

Phone conversation with Dad.
(via my amazing friend Amanda)
Dad: So, you're telling me you decided to stay in the US for another year?
Me: Yes.
Dad: I'm worried about you.
Me: Is that a nicer way to say: You're crazy?!
Dad: What if you're wasting your time.
Me: I have a plan.
He put me on hold (I haven't seen my dad for 3 and a half years.)
Dad: I'm afraid to ask what is this plan.
Me: It's a secret plan.
Dad: What's the secret plan.
Me: I don't know yet. It's so secret that I don't even know.
Dad: So you don't have a plan.
Me: Yes I do. My plan is a secret that keeps a secret from me so I won't find out about the secret 'till the secret is revealed.
Dad: Talk to your mom now...
Cleaning the Apartment with Marcus
MARCUS: You remind of my friend, Robbie.
ME: A blundering idiot?
MARCUS: Lazy as balls, but smart as hell.
