You see, I’m trying to see every New York Film Festival press screening, but having to edit that Christine Vachon interview and then also write this week’s Gothamist Movie Guide, I didn’t get to bed until nearly 4 AM which made the 9 AM screening at the Walter Reade just about impossible. Now sure, I was up in time for the 11:30 AM screening, but I realized that if I wanted to make Capote today at 2 PM and The Notorious Bettie Page tonight at MoMA, then I had to get to work on the really good but time consuming interview that I’m running tomorrow.
Oh yeah, and did I mention that I still don’t have a new place to live? T-Minus eight days and counting! I actually found a place — a share in Ft. Greene — that I really like; I just don’t know if I’m going to get it. Those who know me will not only stop and say, “Wait, Aaron, isn’t Ft. Greene in Brooklyn? You couldn’t be moving to Brooklyn!” would be even more surprised to hear about some other characteristics of exactly where this apartment is. But I’ll save those surprising elements, and some of the less surprising ones, to another time if and hopefully when I get it and can relax slightly on the home front. Literally.
Anyway, I’m seeing tons of movies, but they’re all NYFF press screenings for the most part. I don’t think I get to slow down until this move is finished, and I definitely need to be working a little less on things that aren’t paying me money, which is most of the writing right now. But I actually enjoy doing the movie guide and am still open to any and all suggestions. It is most definitely a work in progress.
