ifc/rooftop films (animated shorts)

In Music, film, neuva york on 12 November 2008 with 298 comments

I stopped over to check out the IFC/Rooftop Films Short Annimated Film Showcase at the Chelsea Market on Monday, and while I lament missing the summer series (rooftops+free beer=life can’t be much sweeter) I’m glad I finally got turned on to the event.
The evening started with Ivana XL (we can add her to the category [...]

a one way ticket…

…and no responsibilities.
Where would you go?
I’m starting to think that opportunties like this don’t happen that often in a lifetime and when they do most people are usually too complacent to take advantage of them.

two upright bassist
one actor
ten kids with unsure job titles who live in a commune

goodbye to all that

In Uncategorized, neuva york, personal, philosophy, quote, writers on 8 October 2008 with 50 comments

I’ve recently met a new and interesting character, living quite literally on the other side of the world, over discussions about youth and city living. She directed me to Joan Didion’s essay “Goodbye to All That” which I’ve excerpted here, not the best or most striking portion but the part I related to the most. [...]

why i love new york summers part v: because

In neuva york, personal on 17 August 2008 with 1,449 comments

because, the light filters through the trees in a way that you’d forgotten, making beautiful silhouettes that you no longer take for granted.
because, we wear our beauty so proudly, most of us achieving that moment before flaunting it, leaving just enough for the imagination. New York bodies…so lithe and beautiful and bathed in sunlight. Who [...]

and the symphonies of light…

In People, Writing, neuva york, personal on 29 July 2008 with 13,695 comments

Occasionally I get words stuck in my head, like the hook of a song you can’t quite remember but can’t quite forget. Even though I’m sure they’re not original, not my own thoughts they can be applied so beautifully to that particular moment that it loops over and over.
Consider me the Kanye of writing.
Today I [...]

via tania: listen up

In Music, People, neuva york on 9 July 2008 with 13 comments

I’m not usually a musical bully. I don’t usually say, hey listen to my music because its so fantabulous that it’ll blow you’re mind. Usually musical experiences are so objective anyway, what one person loves because they listened to it while slow dancing at prom another person will inadvertently hate. (And really can’t we [...]

mia OR why i love ny summers pt iv

In friends, neuva york, personal on 7 July 2008 with 73 comments

I’ve been MIA in internet land. I’ve managed to, or course, keep the twittering going but the blogs, facebook, flickr and google reader have all sort of taken a back seat while I engaged in a few summer festivities. Since its been so long I thought I’d give a brief run-down of the highlights of [...]

I made a playlist on Monday, because it was 95 degrees and I needed to hear music that reminded me of ice cream.
Happy summering.
