The Big Bag

Did some damage at the Urban Outfitters sale this evening. They gave me the big bag.

Bourbon & Blues

Necessary items for songwriting.

Mixed Signals

To cross or not to cross? That was the question.

Happy Birthday Mr. President(s)

Happy Presidents' Day...

Friends Like You (and music like this)

A little belated, but finally got Abby's V-Day mix and had a chance to do some rocking out to it today. This completes 10 years of mixes!! (How old are we getting?!?!)

Seems like Clippership was just yesterday...  ;)

Taggin' It Up

Following an epic brunch party at Jane & Doug's (which is a tough thing to follow) and some necessary couch potato-ing at the Villager, my degenerate friends and I decided to make a quick trip to Billy Hurricane's to truly appreciate the cheese-factor of this East Village invasion.

Exhibit A: The "status update" chalkboard, which we sufficiently tagged up before we left.

The Soup

Feeling a little under the weather Friday night, I decided to try a recipe for Avgolemono soup (inspired by the amazing Avgolemono at Snack).

Mine wasn't as good as Snack's, but it was pretty impressive for a first try. I ate it all :)

Strange Office Mates

Working from home does have its perks. Even if your office mates are a little strange.

Like They Do in the Movies

Lighting tech for film class at NYU.

Big time, big time...

Doc Night

Doc night at IFC. Went to see Erroll Morris' Fast, Cheap & Out of Control. Really great film. I love, love the cinematography. And I find Erroll Morris' brain fascinating that he could come up with an idea like that for a film and totally make it work. I highly recommend checking it out.

Valentine

Whew. All caught up on posting pictures. What a weekend. Caught this very pretty shot of BAM all decked out in red on my way to class tonight. Lovely.

Happy Birtday Merrill!

The big birthday bash for my mom went without a hitch! Except for the typo on the menu... that's how we say it in brooklyn.

Photo Booth

Photo booth pictures from Mason Dixon saturday night. No matter what I do, my giant head always seems to be front and center in every photo booth picture I take.

Goes to Eleven

Band practice has officially begun. This amp is less "goes to eleven" and more like the little engine that could. I think I can...

Now accepting band name suggestions.

Hydration is Key

After a very full day of work, a failed attempt to attend a gallery performance, a successful attempt to have a beer with friends, an equally successful attempt to have a cocktail with family, followed by an amount of shochu and sushi that I am too embarrassed to disclose, I did not manage to take a picture of any of it.

However, I did get a shot of the most important part - hydration. Hydration is key.

Tea & Sympathy

Ending a long day of camera tech & production workshops with a cup of yogi tea. I hope this advice is referring to me making a movie. That is a miracle that I would like to see.

Fire in the Disco

Danger! High Voltage!

Came across a bunch of fire trucks at Union Square West this evening. Couldn't figure out what was going on. My guess is that something was on fire.

To Do

Got a little behind on the posting this weekend. What a whirlwind few days. My rather daunting To-Do list for the week.

All My Love in Vain

Eh.

A hopeful shot Sunday morning.

El Diablo

Do you ever go out to a dinner that just ends up being a fail on all accounts? Such was the case at Diablo Royale in the east village Saturday night. Confused host, waitstaff on drugs, slow service, weak margaritas, expensive shots to make up for weak margaritas.

Anyway, the wall of candles looked cool.

Electric Guitars Are Sexy

Watched It Might Get Loud today for documentary class. What a fantastically amazing film. Watching Jimmy Page and Jack White jam together is just out of control.

Glitterjoyce

Sparkly eye makeup makes me smile.

Night Lights

Late night over the Manhattan Bridge. Kind of an impressionistic shot from a bumpy cab ride in low light. Pretty, though.

Pirrrrate

Had a software pirating party at Jen's, complete with tropical bird - meet Beetle. This was taken shortly after she bit me on the arm for trying to feed her a carrot. Apparently she does not approve of pirating software. Fair enough.

Wired

Got my HDMI cables & mini-DVI adapter from Amazon today. I am officially wired. I installed Boxee, which is really cool in theory - though in reality it still has some quirks that I don't quite like. It won't let me watch things from Hulu Plus and I think viewing Netflix is easier if you just go to the site. But it is still an improvement to my cable-free existence.
