Connected Ventures had their Christmas party last week, and we’ve been seeing pictures of a chimp with media types all over the internet since.

Not to get all sensitive, but since when is a monkey a funny thing to be photographed with? Ok, since forever. But still, that monkey’s a real animal, not a wacky side plot on an NBC sitcom.

We already know that the boys at Connected Ventures live better than we do, but apparently they also eat better than we do too.

Zach Klein, sometimes Union Square house guest and one of the four founding members of College Humor, also runs video cooking site with his girlfriend. Their videos elicit envy we didn’t even know we had. Turns out it is possible to be jealous of people for doing their grocery shopping at Whole Foods.

Worse, Zach’s actually quite good at film editing. His video of cooking in Colombia makes you realize just how boring your last vacation was, that your friends are all ugly and that the “good deli” across from the office actually kind of sucks.

Sigh. At least we can watch from the sidelines.

Anyone can be found online, but only a few people can be "Internet famous." And Jakob Lodwick (cofounder of College Humor) and Julia Allison (notorious bed hopper and self-made Gawker "celebrity") appear to be the online couple of the moment.

Along with running a Web 2.0 powerhouse and writing a column for a magazine that Gothamist made irrelevant, the two have a knack for documenting and digitizing every moment of their lives—which seem infinitely better than yours.

For starters, their sex life is better than yours. In this week's Time Out New York, Allison claims that geeks are the best in the sack. [Ed: We prefer swimmers.] In case you missed the first allusion to her boyfriend who designs Web sites, she goes on to make a reference to College Humor T-shirts. Oh, cross-promotional young love!

Meanwhile, while you went to see Superbad this weekend, they were off in Amagansett, having a pseudo-public lovers' quarrel and eating corn that tasted like "someone cumming". Sadly, despite footage of Lodwick lip-syncing and putting in eye drops, his videographer doesn't include the fight.

So how will this drama unfold? Who can say! Fortunately, it will probably be documented on Flickr.
