December 2008
spent the whole day hanging with my sister. we went to the sushi bar and had ALOT of food. pictures above. then i visited with my grandma, and had to explain to her how dvd’s work. it took a little while, but i was able to break it down for her. i then let my sister drag me to see twilight with her. it made her happy. and im a sucker for making my sister happy sometimes.

my thoughts on the movie the spirit
its a film that you can’t take too seriously. i mean how can you when there are lines in the movie like:
“shut up and bleed”
and
“im going to kill you all kinds of dead”
if you watch it like its a comic book that moves around and has audio to it, then its a REALLY REALLY good comic book. but if you watch it like a movie its a...

my current tv love is going down. i used to hate tv. then came my freshman year in college where i was watching at least 2 episodes of something new every night except fridays.
i still love the stories that get told every week through the medium of television but the shows that were once good are now starting to suck. heroes seriously went down the tubes. i was still with it when the show hit...
Top Ten Albums of the Year
I’ll be posting one or two more lists of the year. for sure movies. but i have to wait until after i see curious case of benjamin button. that is the last movie that i “have” to see. well i guess i need include revolutionary road in that. but i probably wont get to see that until after i get back to nyc.

one of the more odd emails i have ever received.
help wanted
100% reliable, mature student sought to pick up my 10-year-old daughter at her school in Park Slope/Brooklyn, and wait with her until I get there from work. I am not able to arrive in time due to work schedule. She needs to be picked up no later than 5:45pm. I will arrive there approximately 6:15pm. That means approximately 30...

“Reckoner Lockdown” by...
Went to see Che tonight at the zigfield theater. The movie was really great. It was beautiful. And it was digital. Steven Soderberg was there. He did a really fun Q and A. And he signed my program book from the movie. So I have an amazing peice of cinema history. He was a huge influence on how and why I make movies. I got to meet one of my heroes. How often does that happen? rarely. I really love...
hugh jackman is hosting the oscars. could be cool. i would rather have seen ricky gervais do it. but i guess he isn’t main stream yet

i have a problem. i always watch stuff on my ipod/computer in public places. when i am on the subway. or waiting for a movie. or inbetween bands at a concert. you get the point. my problem is that what i really want to watch at those moments always end up showing things that would make someone who was looking over my shoulder think that i was a really fucked up person.
yes half of that is my...

is it really a blog if you only post pictures and video? i dont think so.
You know what I have always wanted to know is what cab drivers are talking about when they are on their phones. It seems like they are always on them. I wander if they are just talking to one person all day.
