As an antidote to what can sometimes be a fairly monotonous, unglamorous life spent mostly in a bathrobe at home with a bottle of bourbon nearby, he’s created this cute web series in which he tries to have a sense of humor about said unglamorous life.

It’s called We’re Working, and Episode 1 features Russel taking a call from his dad and pretending to work while surfing Facebok, only to start drinking with his sister/fellow writer/upstairs neighbor at 11:30 AM. By Episode 5, they’re just drunk and watching HGTV.

Our so-called-gay life might more resemble this, but we lawl’d at Episode 6, in which Russel runs into his gay-married, successful, actor/designer friend Rafi who offers the tip: “Next time, don’t shave your neckline so high; it makes your whole face look like a mask.”
