Sometimes, I just need to find a form of catharsis. I keep happening across all these film and TV related stories upon which I want to comment; I’ve seen several films in the past two weeks; and I’ve got plenty jostling around this addled brain o’ mine; but for some reason, I haven’t been ableContinue reading “ACTS OF CATHARSIS: PART I — WHY I WRITE … OR DON’T”

Uhm … hi. Yeah, not sure what happened there other than the fact that my slow, lots of free time week turned out to be not so much slow or containing lots of free time. It wasn’t crazy hectic either; but there weren’t log periods where I said to myself, “Hey, Aaron, let’s sit downContinue reading “REALLY PLAYING CATCH-UP”

Today I sit at a reception desk. It is my first temp job in I don’t know how many years, and it’s very temporary. Just today and tomorrow. Doing very little. In fact, after I complete the four or five incredibly simple tasks (of course, don’t those always unexpectedly take the most time), I shouldContinue reading “PLAYING CATCH-UP”

Or I’m just being optimistic. It happens! But I’m not sure. I could try to say that I’ve been missing all week because I’ve been morning that Arrested Development news, but that would be a lie. I’m trying to focus this weekend on getting a few personal posts that I feel somewhat compelled to writeContinue reading “THE WEEK(END) IN PREVIEW: I THINK I’M COMING OUT OF MY SLUMP”

It looks like hands-down the best show anywhere on television (and probably the best show anywhere on television in years) i struggling on its last legs. Daily Variety and Hollywood Reporter and just about every other media outlet are reporting that Fox has pulled Arrested Development for the remainder of November sweeps and also cutContinue reading “THE WORST NEWS EVER!!!!!”

So if you’ve been patient with me, you might remember that I said there were going to be three interviews last week, but my move and packing got in the way. The one that was delayed is finally here today, and it’s one of my favorites because it’s with one of my favorite new people,Continue reading “THE GOTHAMIST INTERVIEW: NOV. DAY 3 – KIMBERLEE AUERBACH”

I haven’t deliberately been so silent, but I’ve been having much difficulty settling in to my new apartment and neighborhood. The reasons are probably somewhat psychological and emotional, but they’re also logistical as certain circumstances in the new place have precluded me from being able to unpack and/or organize a bunch of my things. AndContinue reading “THE WEEK(END) IN PREVIEW: I’M HAVING TROUBLE RECOVERING”

I’m moved. I live in Brooklyn now. That last sentence still doesn’t make complete sense to me, and I’m far from settled. Tuesday until now has been a blur, and there’s still a lot for me to do. I hope to get back to more regular posting this weekend or next week. I did manageContinue reading “MOVED!! (WITH SOME WEEKEND PREVIEW TOO)”

Movers arrive in 21 hours, so I don’t really have time to write much today, nor will I. My Halloween was spent huddled over my shredder — which actually was kind of fun — cleaning out my files. Yup, that means I didn’t even have the chance to go to yesterday’s parade, which is aContinue reading “THE GOTHAMIST INTERVIEW: NOV. DAY 2 — CATHLIN BAKER”

Somehow, our rotation for Gothamist Interviews often happens at the worst possible time. Take this week: I have to move on Wednesday. I’m trying to pack-up my apartment which hasn’t gone through this packing/moving/tossing old stuff process in five years. I still need to change my addresses, turn-off utilities, and hire movers. Ugh. Point being:Continue reading “THE GOTHAMIST INTERVIEW: NOV. DAY 1 — JEANNE FLEMING (NEW YORK’S VILLAGE HALLOWEEN PARADE)”
