after successfully escaping jury duty on thursday (i'm set for 8 years now!), i kicked off a FOUR day weekend. yesterday was spent in soho doing some light shopping and lunching at cafe gitane with roulie. i rode my bike around for a little when i got home and finally purchased a bike lock.
friday i was fortunate enough to check out the mary jay-z blige tour at madison square garden. my cameras pix were lacking so i lifted this from ms lacey to demonstrate the mean dance moves ms mary had going on. it was a great show, not to be missed.
last night i got a two-for-thursday of one of my all time faves, mister harmony korine. after work i met a friend and swung (swang?) by the apple store in soho for a little q&a with harmony re: his new film, mister lonely. now, i would have enjoyed this if the hour only consisted of him sitting in a chair on stage, so it might not be much coming from me, but i thought it was grand. he's one of the funniest/most intelligent-in-an-emotional/human-way people i think...and when he laughs....sigh.
the man himself, harmony korine
my favorite moments: when some idiot asked him what he thinks of his audience as a reflection of him/his work? and harmony reacted with a "whhhhhhaaaaaaa??? face. i also enjoyed when somebody asked him who would win in a fight...him or david blaine...and he told the guy to get real...of course david would.
anyyyyway, after that we went to a screening of mister lonely. every single frame would make a beautiful still. and diego luna was amazing. after samantha morton's performance in this and the joy division biopic control, she's becoming one of my favorites. also, she looks like my grandmother when she was younger.
wish it said '1982' but then i guess it'd be completely different
i'm kinda dizzy, but, i mean, come on...those colors!!!
always remember
this song came to me via ryan via greg. i really enjoy it. you don't have to watch the video, it looks like it was probably fun to be in, but it doesn't do much for the song. i think they should have just had two people playing in a really sunny field...yeah a field, even though the song sounds beachy
