My new favorite site is The Comics Curmudgeon. I've been reading it daily for several weeks now.

CollegeHumor's newest original went up today.

It was written by fellow Cool-Kids-Clubber Steve Menegozzi. Those who haven't seen Cool Kids Club yet (why not?) may also know Steve from the short film SK8BOARDING, where he won many accolades for his role of California Condor.

The new short is Thanksgiving themed, and if you are friends with me there's a good chance you'll love it. Click the white space below to play.

Thanks again to everyone that came to Cool Kids Club last night. Early reports from Matt indicate we'll have some video to show for this one. I'm going to take today off and spend it in my favorite pajama pants.

Our first review comes from the it-sounds-like-us-but-isn't Uncool Kids. It's as if they knew me for years.

I've started watching Fall's biggest hit, Heroes. I was skeptical, but I'm a sucker for anything superhero and I heard good things.

Eight episodes in, and I feel comfortable saying Heroes is bad. It's the kind of show where, when there's a scene in India, everyone is still speaking English.

I'm really excited about Cool Kids Club tomorrow night, and I hope the audience will be too. It's going to be a great time.

This Friday some friends and I will perform another installment of the RUNAWAY SMASH HIT Cool Kids Club.

Cool Kids Club, for those just joining jeffrubinjeffrubin.com, is a live commentary on vintage educational films. It's maybe a little bit like Mystery Science Theater, but live and no puppets.

Cool Kids Club takes a lot of time to prepare and is known to distract from blogging.

The show is Friday, November 17th at the PIT (154 W. 29th St). We go on at 10 o'clock, and because you can bring your own drinkie drinks it makes a great springboard for the rest of the evening. More info (and buy tickets in advance - fancy!) on the PIT's website.

I was really excited to hear about the Democrats' convincing victory at the polls this week - things are going to change! I'd like to see George W. Bush drag the country into a meaningless war now.

Looking over the past (sparse) month or two of blogging, I'm surprised to find that I have yet to write about CollegeHumor's new original content or even our new director of original content, Sam.

Sam comes to us from Dutchwest. In addition to being funny, Dutchwest's videos have perhaps the best production value in the increasingly crowded world of Internet sketches. I could go on and on about how talented I think Sam is, but I'm lazy so I'll let his work speak for him.

Here's the newest, which is not only hilarious but also about Lost.

Other already-classics include Girl's Costume Warehouse and Street Fighter: the Later Years.

Really though, they are all worth watching.
