Director

In 8th grade my English class was given a oral presentation assignment.  We had to write an essay on the expected – what we wanted to be when we grow up and then present it in front of the class.
I thought I’d be clever and set up my speech as if I’m about to go [...]

Fetal position

After seeing Jenny Holzer’s exhibition at the Whitney Museum (and the gigantic ice pack and french fries exhibition), I bought a $5 booklet of some of her past essays (rather than her $45 exhibition book).  I came across this mini essay the other day:
” There’s no reason to sleep curled up and bent.  It’s not [...]

Collisions

One of the best weekends I’ve had in a long time and it started off by watching this dude who refers to himself as the Millionaire’s Magician on Fri for my boss’ surprise bday party at the Waldorf Towers:

I’m always skeptical with these sort of things but what intrigued me the [...]

Coachella ella ella eh eh eh

You really do need an umbrella while at Coachella Festival.
Although Spring officially started about a month ago, today was actually a proper day of Spring.   And I’m stuck at work.
I’m looking out of the windows and I can see people in their shorts, tank tops, and sandals on their way to Central Park.  Le sigh.
And [...]

Okay I’ll shut up now

Don’t you hate it when you’re in the subway, and as you’re saying goodbye to a friend who is getting off the train, and as you’re in the middle of saying something witty, she’s walking further away from you, and then your tone of voice gets louder but she can no longer hear you anymore, [...]

Spring forward

So I missed my one year anniversary – it’s been over a year since I started this blog.  But I never was really into celebrating milestones.  But I do like to reflect.  A LOT.  Last year I was overflowing with inspiration, unlike the last few months – I was experiencing a drought.  But now that [...]

Fake blog entry

The only reason why I’m creating a blog entry is so that my archives will list every single month since I’ve started my blog.
Even look at the date…
…oh wait, nevermind.  I couldn’t make up Feb 29, 2009 as it automatically changed it to Mar 1, 2009.
Boo.

A lomo photo a day keeps the doctor away

But it sure doesn’t keep the lomo camera away from the doctor!  Once again I’m returning my camera because there’s something wrong with the photo counter.  But this is only a slight annoyance – I’m still an avid lomographer.  I just need to pay attention to details such as making sure the red lights go [...]

Slumdog Millionaire for Best Picture?
The Underdog?  The Obama of Hollywood cinema?  If this film  came out even just a year ago I don’t think it would’ve been a contender for the Oscars.  We could care less about magic realism back then.  Life was good, and we were able to enjoy films like No Country For [...]

Porn

Yes, you’ve read that correctly.
I spent a couple of hours today watching porn.  Again, you’ve read that correctly.  I must admit, I don’t watch porn but I was slightly curious.  Okay, I’m lying.  I was very curious.  Reminds me of when I first encountered my dad’s collection of porn magazines.  I was eight years old.  [...]
