The heat is on

My internal clock has been jacked up since I got back from Hawaii. I’m sleeping in too long and staying up too late. This throws everything off. I haven’t been to the gym in three weeks, or the grocery in two. I’ve been really bad to myself lately. Drinking too much and eating lots of crap food. Not exercising. It’s catching up with me. My skin’s been in constant freakout mode. My brain has been…

My car is now officially a hooptie

Actually, it only meets three of the criteria for hooptie-dom set forth by this reputable source. (Must open door at drive-thru because window won’t roll down, blinkers won’t work, and tape deck eats all tapes, for those of you keeping score at home.) But tonight my car threw me for a loop. I was leaving work and noted how chilly and damp outside it was, and how the last time my window ever rolled down…

In which Phil makes his big-screen debut

Last night, Phil, Jamie and I sashayed into Studio on the Square (they didn’t even take our tickets, there was so much schmoozing going on the for the film fest) and took our seats. I’d been told by a counter worker that the documentary was playing after the feature, which made no sense to me, but it turned out not to be the case. Daniel Lee, the guy who made the documentary, stood and said…

Day 295 — Pumpkin Patch

[for Monday, Oct, 22] Ever since they tore down that old antique mall building on the corner of Union and Cooper, a giant inflatable holiday icon has graced the corner whenever Halloween and Christmas has rolled around. I’ve never actually stopped to check out the goods, but I’ve always very much admired the little patch of color in an otherwise grey part of Midtown. I stopped yesterday, intent on getting a pumpkin, and was pretty…

Day 293 — This Is How Actual Designers Feel About the Design of the Movie Paper

[for Saturday, Oct. 20] Movie fatigue set in big time when I strolled into the office Saturday — already a cruel joke snickered by the universe — and was immediately informed that my desk would be unavailable for work. Instead, I’d have truck it back to the sports department to do my damn job. There was movie equipment — lights, boards, monitors, etc. — all around my cube. Movie people were standing around, looking at…

Random things that are awesome

I just got up an hour ago and I need a shower something fierce, but not before I do what’s really important and post random bulleted items to my beloved internet web log. • The first season of Flight of the Conchords is going on sale Nov. 6. This is perfect timing because it gives me the entire holiday season to memorize plenty of references to quote throughout 2008. It’s time I expanded my pop-culture-reference…

Eight minutes of zombie documentarianism that will change your life!

Monday night at 9:40, the Daniel Lee short documentary (or “doc” as they say on the streets) will screen as part of the Indie Memphis Film Festival at Studio on the Square. I believe it’s playing just before I Was a Zombie for the FBI, a flick from the early ’80s that boasts a 5.3 IMDb rating! You may have seen this before, but just imagine how awesome it’s going to be on the big…
