[for Friday, Oct. 19] (Why do I suddenly feel like John Ritter really missed a career opportunity here?) The movie people weren’t all up in the newsroom yesterday like they were Thursday. Which was a relief for my workplace ADD. Instead, they were all up in the editor’s office filming Angela Bassett-as-editor scenes. They moved our editor’s manly leather couch out and replaced it with a more “feminine” couch so as to be believable. (I…
I’m not sure where your life must go wrong to land you on a Saturday morning looking up “mammary intercourse” on Wikipedia (link NSFW), but sometimes life just rolls like that, the earth squeaks around on its axis and we just keep moving on. (Truth be told, this photo of graffiti got me to looking up Bukkake just to make sure I knew what it was.) One thing I’d like to point out, though, is…
I’m not sure there’s anything funnier than watching cats try to catch and hold a ping-pong ball. On hardwood floors. Obviously I need a new video camera. (And a life!)
I finally got the new Pinback Monday evening. I’ve had it on a loop since then (with the new Radiohead and Tegan and Sara tossed in for variety). I like it a lot. But then again, I’m kind of unhealthily obsessed with that band and I’m not sure if they could disappoint me. It was interesting being out west. I think Pinback’s probably much more popular on the west coast (they’re from San Diego) —…
When I stepped off the elevator at work today, I entered into a magical land of grips and extras and cameras and God knows what else. The newsroom is quite packed with people I’ve never seen before and will never see again, including Noah Wyle (who is very handsome), Angela Bassett, and Kate Beckinsale. You know, you try to be aloof and above the commotion, but when you’re a total dork movie fan, the whole…
Last night the clouds were low and moving fast. I am so easily mesmerized sometimes. Project 365
[for Wednesday, Oct. 17] (click photo for notes) They’re filming a movie at my place of employ. The whole process is mostly interesting, with just a smidge of annoying crap thrown in. Annoying: There are lots of tattooed, unwashed dudes walking around with ladders and boxes, installing lights and blinds and green film over the windows. The newsroom is now so bright that we all feel like we’re working under spotlights. The green film on…
I was cleaning off an old memory card tonight and I stumbled upon a couple of photos I took en route to Hawaii. Specifically, this one, which I really like: There is something about photographs taken in the air that is necessarily surreal. I look at the photograph and it’s hard for me to remember my time on the plane that led to such a picture. If I squint and try to remember real hard,…
The other day I finally finished The Game, that supposed bastion of seduction secrets. By the end of the book, I was ready for all of the major players to plan a suicide pact and just end their disgusting, miserable lives once and for all, allowing the rest of L.A. and the world a little breathing room. And dignity. But, sadly, not even Mystery — who threatened repeatedly — had the proverbial balls to do…
