I'm surprised I haven't had more "wormy larvae hatching in my stomach" nightmares since.

I'm doing the horror film. I went from script supervisor to boom mic operation to supporting part - God bless low budgets. Actually, I prefer doing this, because it's not a lot of fiddling around. When you have a big vision and a big budget, you refine and rework and test until you've got it all right. Here, it's do it, and go. If something doesn't ( Read more... )

I'm sorry I'm going to be absent for Interpol's return to NYC, but seeing this band without Carlos D is cookies without the long tall gothic drink of milk.

Man, this printed NME special on Muse is great - it's a compilation of their interviews , including the one from 2001 that initially got me into the band. (I actually ripped out that interview from an NME when I was in England and brought it home, because while I wasn't a fan yet, what was being said in there was just so fucking weird. I've still ( Read more... )

I literally started singing a triumphant orchestra piece when I opened the schedule of events for Coney Island this summer (I went down to see the Mermaid Parade with webmd, and the place is just as packed and gross as it's ever been.) they have a sci-fi movie night, and although we've missed Donnie Darko, my favorite film, Zardoz, will be screening in

I get on Twitter so much I forget I have this thing. I mean, that one's easier to update via mobile phone, after all ( Read more... )

Ugh. How do you locals do this? I'm the first person to say I like being warm when I sleep, but this is knocking me for a loop. I'm up all hours of the night without purpose. I've plugged in my fan and have it blasting at me - and I'm wincing a bit at how wasteful this is - but I'm just so uncomfortable. This is the beginning of June! I'm doomed ( Read more... )

Deb and her husband are in town this weekend, and I've been dragging them around. We've tried to brave the line at Shake Shack, looked around Union Square market, gone shopping in Soho, got cupcakes and free Ben 'N Jerry's, went to see The Artist is Present at MOMA, took in a naughty burlesque show, and I wound up showing up in their hotel room ( Read more... )

Feeling a bit meh about the prospects in NYC this summer. There's no bigger city, no more exciting city, and there's nothing that's happening that is particularly tickling my fancy. The concert and movie menus are being rolled out, and I'm sure there will be pub crawls and scavenger hunts and bike rides in the sun, but I'm feeling a bit bored by it ( Read more... )

While we're on the subject, I saw "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" for the first time last night. I went to Crunch Gym because they had a free day with BBQ. I'm sorry to admit I missed the BBQ, so settled in with crappy television on the treadmill. I don't get why the one Kardashian sister (not the tranny-ish one, the one that's Not Kim) is dating ( Read more... )
