Last weekend there was a birthday party on Friday. I wore a suit. Saturday was another successful FEAST. No chaos, great food, raised lots of $. Went for beers after, but didn’t last long as we’d been drinking all afternoon while we worked.
Yesterday KR and I went to the movies, then to get ramen, then to a fancy tour of the NYPL, then I got snuck in to the Patti Smith talk. She talked about literature and Robert Mapplethorpe and sang a few songs. Not your average everday typical work day right?
I put my vegetable plants outside on my fire escape today. Hopefully they will turn into food someday. Also I’ve been doing my exercise videos pretty regular. Brock made a video to prove it.
Film
The Edge of Heaven — German. One of those movies with parallel stories where everything connects in the end. Pretty good.
The Fireman’s Ball — A madcap comedy romp … in Russian!
Dillinger is Dead — popped it in and realized I’d already seen it. FFW’d to the end.
Extract — some funny moments, but not what I was hoping for.
Sex, Lies, and Videotape — I think maybe I’d seen this on TBS in the past. Was okay. Mostly lies.
Brief Interviews with Hideous Men — Movie based on a DFW book. Was okay.
Rear Window — Old Hitchcock classic with Jimmy Stewart and Grace Kelly.
Glengarry Glen Ross — A movie based on a play about salesmen. No women.
Jerry Baker’s Gardening Tips — This old kook mixes up all kinds of tonics for his garden. The only info I really took from it was to soak seeds in a weak solution of tea.
Brilliantlove — saw this at the Tribeca Film Fest. Didn’t like it. Sick of the bohemian artist dude in saggy white briefs walking around scratching himself pretending to be oblivious to the rest of the world cause he’s so eccentric.
Earth Days — the history of Earth Day. Caught it on PBS. Enjoyed it.
