Snapshot: Listening, Watching, Reading, Wearing, Wanting
+ Kat
Listening: Moderat, Kitty Wells, Lady Gaga, Nurse With Wound, Crystal Antlers, the Phenomenal Handclap Band...basically the most random mix you could ever imagine.
Watching: I recently discovered that every single episode of "South Park" is available online at southparkstudios.com and have been plowing through those. "Screw you guys, I'm going home!" Love it! Also: Terminator Salvation, Aguirre: Wrath of God, Roman Holiday.
Reading: I finished John Henry Days, finally! I'm not sure I'd recommend it as an intro to Colson Whitehead, but dude, the man can write. Something about the ending of John Henry Days made up for the circuitousness of it, but perhaps not enough for the casual reader.
Wearing: Somehow it feels more like early March in NYC than early June...what's up with that, global warming? So oddly I'm wearing Uniqlo skinny jeans, my trusty Martin Margiela sweater and some ballet flats. Boss.
Wanting: I WISH YOU COULD ALL COME TO THE SCREENING OF MY SHORT FILM "PHOEBE, 2:13AM" TONIGHT IN NYC! It's part of a NYC Downtown Short Film Festival Audience Choice screening. But if you can't, hopefully it will have a good festival run and perhaps will come to a theatre near you. If you have a film festival in your town that you think I should submit to, please let me know!
Shitty things happen in "Phoebe, 2:13AM," but luckily it's only 11 minutes so you won't hurt too long:

Listening: this really dope mix CD that's got "Doctor Doctor" by The Who, "Low" by Flo Rida, "Cheated Hearts" by Yeah Yeah Yeahs, "I'm Straight" by the Modern Lovers, and many more hits from the '60s, '70s, '90s, and today.
Watching: I saw Terminator Salvation with my brother last weekend and thought it was awesome, which maybe means I'm stupid and/or have bad taste, but I don't give a fig! I also watched about seven minutes of "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here" on Monday.
Reading: the issue of New York with Larry David and Woody Allen on the cover. (I put Larry David's name first because I care about him five times more than I care about Woody Allen.) And Nylon, I guess, I don't know.
Wearing: my Amsterdam shirt, with which I have just been gleefully reunited, and these really dark-wash bootcut jeans that always rub dye onto my hands and then I get scared that I've contracted argyria. I'm also wearing incredibly dirty two-toned hair.
Wanting: more of the wild mushroom empanadas, plantains, and blood orange caipirinhas I had last Friday at Orinoco. If you live in the greater Boston area, I'd highly recommended eating there a.s.a.p., even though the bartender is the meanest person I've ever met in my life.
A SLOW LORIS GETTING TICKLED:
+ Laura Jane
Listening: The only moment in all recorded music of any relevance to my life is when Ray Davies inexplicably pronounces the word "almanac" as "almanyac" in "Autumn Almanac" by the Kinks.
Watching: Rebecca, and it was the first time I've ever seen Sir Laurence Olivier act in a movie, I think. He's a good actor. He's got charisma. He's got in droves.
Reading: Luxirare; Carson McCullers; my new notebook; this blog post about school lunches from around the world (the ones from Korea look so healthful and YUM, I also like how in France they give you mussels)
Wearing: Yesterday I tried to motivate myself to wear all black because I hate it, and ended up wearing white jeans and a yellow t-shirt and a yellow-cardigan and grey shoes and a gold headband and a white flower in my hair. I hate black.
Wanting: Duhsville! I want you to HELP ME HELP ERADICATE ANOREXIA FOREVER
TO FIND OUT THE MEANING OF LIFE, SCROLL FORWARD TO TWO MINUTES AND EIGHTEEN SECONDS:
MY NEW NOTEBOOK:
Tags: argyria, Autumn Almanyac, Carson McCullers, Flo Rida, France, Korea, Larry David, lunch, notebooks, Ray Davies is a genius, Ray-Davies-Perfect, Raymond Douglas Davies, Sir Laurence Olivier, Summer Almanyac, Terminator, the majestic slow loris, The Who, Venezuelan food
