Unemployment is fascinating. On the one hand, I feel like I need to be getting up and doing things: writing, contacting people about work, looking for freelance things, etc. It’s hard for me to do that in my apartment because of that occasional lack of discipline. I mean, I’m as able to multi-task as muchContinue reading “RANDOM THOUGHTS OF NOT-A-WHOLE-LOT: SPELLING BEES, GEEKS AND STAR WARS”

OK, so it’s a new month, new stuff is happening in life, new outlook, new new new … we’re just going to leave behind that little nasty month o’ May with it’s dental issues and computer problems and iPod crashing and lack of employment … well, that hasn’t been fixed yet, but we’re working onContinue reading “WE’RE JUST GOING TO PRETEND MAY NEVER HAPPENED: HELLO JUNE”

And I was so proud of regularly contributing to this blog, too. Well, I really do plan a return to whatever it is I regularly do in this space. I mean, did anyone pay attention to the television upfronts and the new fall schedule last week. Way to go NBC! If you want to beContinue reading “RUMORS OF MY SLIDE INTO DEPRESSION (LIKELY STARTED HERE) HAVE BEEN SOMEWHAT EXAGERRATED (PROBABLY BY ME)”

OK, so maybe I’m starting to feel a little better, even if Apple is pissing me off with this delay fixing my laptop. I keep getting different answers from them. Very annoying. Hopefully all will be good. Last night helped. Gothamist’s Laughable Hype last night was absolutely fantastic. Talk about needing some laughs, and boyContinue reading “THE GOTHAMIST INTERVIEW: MAY DAY 3 – DALMAR JAMES”

So this week in New York are the TV upfronts — where all the networks reveal to advertisers and the world at large what their fall schedules are going to look like. We get to hear all about the new shows coming and the unfortunates that have recently been cancelled. So it only makes senseContinue reading “THE GOTHAMIST INTERVIEW: MAY DAY 2 – NIGHT AGENCY”

So I’m still working on putting all the pieces of life back together. It’s been a very difficult two weeks for me personally, and things haven’t really gotten much better. To make matters worse, the crown on my front tooth decided last Friday night would be a good time to pop off — thankfully it’sContinue reading “THE GOTHAMIST INTERVIEW: MAY DAY 1 – YOMAIRA REYNOSO”

So last Monday I posted how Tribeca was over and I should be back to posting more regularly. Then Monday and Tuesday, the world of my personal life sort of came crashing down around me, and I haven’t particularly been feeling like blogging much. There’s been a lot I’ve wanted to write about, too, butContinue reading “WE’RE JUST GOING TO INHALE AND HOLD OUR BREATH FOR A BIT AFTER ALL”

Well that was fun. Yes, the Tribeca Film Festival ended yesterday, and finally I can start to breathe again. Maybe even see some movies and watch some TV. (Yes, my job at the festival actually precluded me from seeing anything, until I finally had the chance to sit through the wonderful Favela Rising yesterday.) InContinue reading “AND … EXHALE!”

Hi everyone. So I wasn’t really able to keep up my hope of visiting this site at least a couple times a week and providing some content. I hoped to write about Sin City. I hoped to write about the end of Miramax (as we know it) more, and why everyone who owns Disney stockContinue reading “TRIBECA’S HERE … THAT’S WHY I’M NOT”

Thank GOD this week is over. Somehow, I always learn these lessons about how much I can handle, but when the opportunities arise to avoid these situations, I still take on everything. It’s a bad bad workaholic trait which I absolutely blame on my father and his side of the family. Cause, you know, geneticsContinue reading “THE GOTHAMIST INTERVIEW: APRIL DAY FIVE – THE WOMEN OF WET (SASHA EDEN & VICTORIA PETTIBONE)”
