A little bit about me: One year ago I was sitting in a posh office in downtown London, about to start my life in the business world. And then catastrophe struck: I downloaded an MP3 onto my computer at work. Harmless, don't you think? Two days later I found myself fired, fined, and jailed. Collateral damage of the digital age.
So here I am, living to New York City with my childhood friend Henry, making a go of it in the blogosphere. Enjoy the posts, and feel free to drop me a line!

A little bit about me: Hello, Internet! It's me, Henry Scott. You've probably heard of me. If not, here's a primer. I've been a stand-up comedian in London for the past few years, before I realized my true calling: blogging. I didn't like the comedy world much anyway. Too many agents. I hate agents. In November 2005 me and my best buddy Mark packed up for New York City, and here we are, proud parents of BathTubYoga. What else? I like Ginkgo Biloba and Ginseng, and women love me.

[X] “The Button” Script
Mark and Henry are sleeping. Mark awakens and checks the alarm clock.
MARK
Holy shit, it's nine o'clock. We've overslept.
HENRY
So what? Just go back to sleep.
MARK
Henry, we have to hand in our Visa forms in one hour.
HENRY
Print them out then.
MARK
Right - print them out.
Mark jumps to his computer to print out the forms.
MARK
We're out of ink! What are we going to do?
HENRY
Don't worry about it Mark.
MARK
What?
HENRY
We have a whole hour. I'll just run out to the shop.
Mark waits impatiently. Henry finally returns from the store carrying a bag.
MARK
Finally! We've you been? We only got ten minutes! Did you get the ink cartilage?
HENRY
No, I didn't Mark. I did one better.
MARK
You did?
Henry takes out the Button from the bag and shows it to Mark.
MARK
What is that?
HENRY
It's an American "Easy Button." ... watch
Henry pushes the button. The button plays a sound byte: "That was easy"
HENRY
Alright, well I'm going to bed.
Out of frustration, Mark presses the Easy Button repeatedly. All of a sudden, the printer begins to work. Mark is overjoyed.

Yeah, but why do they sleep together? They have two couches. Why? I know they are british, but not being from here can only excuse so much.
