At least the lights on the chrysler building are never any stupid fucking colors.

No one is as pretty as Natalie Portman

Woo Summer reading!

"Women were more interested on sex than men were, Ellen Cherry was convinced of that...typically, her own interest in sex was abiding and deep. And incognito. In a patriarchial society, the abiding sexuality of the healthy female was obliged to wear a prim disguise. Unaware of the irony, men flaunted their pale desires, while the stronger passions of the woman were usually concealed. Nobody could tell Ellen Cherry otherwise."

-Tom Robbins, "Skinny Legs and All"

4 Years Ago

I moved to New York, and took a picture with a chicken (and a Teddy)


then I graduated. At least that's what it feels like. (I also gained some weight and grew some tits, do those count as accomplishments?)

I really just want to get a desk job somewhere and slowly fade into obscurity

Nothing like getting up at 9AM...

To edit a borderline pornographic video starring yourself and your boyfriend, then heading to a convent a couple hours late to practice your role in your friend's burlesque act.

I CAN'T PLEASE ALL OF YOU AT THE SAME TIME!!

Can I marry my new computer?

Today has probably been the worst of my life

Goin for blackout

The Walrus is Paul/This is how I feel currently

The dream is over,
What can I say?
The dream is over
Yesterday
I was the dreamweaver,
but now I'm reborn
I was the walrus
but now I'm just John
And so dear friends,
you just have to carry on
The dream is over

What I really want to do is curl up in my bed and cry until my lease is up, but instead I have amillion things to do that won't get me a job and won't pay the rent.

But this picture made me feel a little better, so there's that:


Happy Christmas.

That was DICK, Lost.

Definitely my favorite shot from this show, ever.

Completely subjective list of Lost/Bible analogies that occur because I've spent way too much time thinking about religion and way too much time watching and yelling/crying/gasping at Lost.

*See Note

Jacob=Go(o)d*
Smokey=(D)evil*
Jack=Jonah
Locke=Jesus
Richard Alpert=Adam
Ben=Judas

*Calling Jacob and smokey God and the Devil or even good and evil is a gross oversimplification, I'm pretty sure there's more to it than that, but that's the extent of my current understanding on the matter.

I think I'm going to keep updating this list as I think of new one/get more details; I could write a thesis on Lost but that isn't going to pay the rent after next week...

Have some EXPLANATIONS:

**See other note

The Jacob/Smokey thing is obvious, I'm not going to address it other than this: c'mon dude, Jacob only ever wears WHITE=Pure/Good/etc and Smokey only ever wears BLACK=Evil

Jack=Jonah I decided that after watching the last episode (#14, "The Candidate") after seeing the final shot, where he's standing, soaking wet, facing the ocean (I won't give away the episode here but the reason he's wet is key to why I realized there's a bit of a parallel between his storyline and the "Jonah and the Whale" Bible parable). Basically, Jack and Jonah both face a lot of tragedy/loss of loved ones, arguably due to their tumultuous relationship with God/Jacob. Jack is also called the "Man of Science", indicating that he lacks faith/doesn't trust Jacob/Locke, who serves a similar role to Jacob (see below).

Locke=Jesus (SPOILER ALERT) If you haven't gotten this far in Lost right now, I'm not sure why you're reading this, but just in case..Locke dies in season 5 (#7, "The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham") essentially to save everyone else on the show. Also, no one ever believes what he says about the island/Jacob/Go(o)d, and he faces more trial and persecution than any other character on the show ALL FOR EVERYONE ELSE. **Also he's a stoner, just like Jesus.

Richard Alpert=Adam This one's not as developed as the others, but based on my knowledge of Alpert's character, esp. from the last episode, "Ab Aeterno" where we KIND OF SPOILER ALERT learn that Jacob made him ageless but that this was a curse, and I mean c'mon that's exactly what God did to Adam.

Ben=Judas Also not as developed, but he SPOILER ALERT killed Locke (Season 5, #7) just like Judas (essentially) killed Jesus and they portray his character as treading the line between good and evil, which literally happens with his alliance to JabobGod vs. SmokeyDevil in this season's episode #7, "Dr. Linus".

**This is related to my adament belief that Jesus was a stoner, which is a story for a differnt too-long blog entry.

Glad I got that out of my system? I'm impressed if you read all of that.

NOTE: I don't think lost is using Bible stories as canon, but just that there are some interesting parallels between character on the show and in the Bible, whether they meant to do it or not.

I want nothing more than to drop everything I'm doing and become a muppeteer

Or a muppet-director, or an actual muppet.

This is strange because oftentimes, certain muppets and muppet shows severely creep me out. For instance, the Gorgs on Fraggle Rock scare the shit of out of me, (but Fraggle Rock is the best so it doesn't matter), and that monster muppet who isn't animal and likes porn in Avenue Q REALLY scares me...and others that I dont remember, but I think I could get over that.

PUPPET DRAMA/"Sexy Sadie"

This is what I did for my final project in my "Directing the Camera" class. The script is from a play or something, and I thought it was ridiculously melodramatic, so I decided to do it with puppets--this decision was also largely influenced by the fact that I don't like working with real actors very much, and because about a month ago I decided that I want to stop everything I'm doing with my life and focus my full energy on becoming a muppeteer or muppet director.

*ALSO: I know you can see the people's heads. We have about an hour during class to shoot these exercises and I knew I wouldn'be able to get a clean puppet video out of it, so I decided to be kind of experimental and do a sort of, we're aware of the puppeteers, shaky handheld camera type deal. I dunno, I thought it made it funnier.

ARGUS oh and a panic attack

I had my first I'm graduating in like a week and need to somehow find a job so I can stay in New York and pay rent panic attack last night. Luckily, I was drunk at the time and it was about 4am so it segwayed nicely into falling asleep.

It is crucial at times like these to remember the important things in life, like the fact that THERE WAS A PEACOCK ON THE LAST 30ROCK AND HE WAS A CENTRAL CHARACTER.


Alec Baldwin AKA Jack Donaghey AKA you'd better give our commencement speech as Jack Donghey, Baldwin, talking to a peacock AKA Argus AKA the spirit of Don Geiss AKA LOOK AT THE NEXT PICTURE HE'S COMFORTING HIM


That is a peacock wing on Baldwin's knee. Best episode ever. I laughed at this part for a good 5 minutes before Ted had to tell me to shut up so we could continue with the episode.
