Happy New Year, 2010!

Had a fantastic New Year's Eve. Shot Chromeo at Club Nokia and then headed to a low key house party with fine American whiskey and a fire pit. Was delightful.

Want to go to San Diego for lunch?

Peggy iChatted me the other day with those words...

Her friend flew us in his plane!

Here are a couple of snaps from that day. It was awesome, and Aaron was a most excellent pilot!

Texts from Last Night

I am a text spy. When I'm behind you in line, at concerts, wherever, I will try to look at your texts. I don't make assessments about you based on these texts, I just think it's interesting. I love to do it. And Texts From Last Night is a perfect outlet for it.

Here are some of my favs:

(310): Gettin pulled over, can you watch my dog and pay the bils for a while?

-----------

(215): Stoned at DSW. SO MANY SHOES! THEY'RE FREAKING ME OUT.

----------

(516): gavin joseph was born around 1 oclock 9lbs 12oz... over 21 inches long
(917): Thats what she said

-----------

(917): omg omg i just fucked paul. i need to stop doing this kind of thing.
(310): wait, who's paul?
(917): exactly.

-----------

(847): Rock
(630): Scissors
(630): Fuck

----------

Also: After reading some of these obviously drunken texts, I still can't believe that it's legal to drink something that can produce these types of consequences, but smoking a plant that just makes you laugh at the people dealing with these consequences isn't.

Nina & Kennan Come to Town!

Jeremy's longest friend, Kennan, and his lovely and talented girlfriend, Nina Nastasia came to town to master the tracks on her new album. We have spent an amazing weekend with them, eating, drinking, music listening, geocaching and general adventuring all over the city.

Yesterday, we took Nina & Kennan, and Emily & Paul to Cloud Cone Point.

Shot In The Back of the Head

Last summer, when I was in NYC for All Points West, I randomly met Moby in a bar. He just sent me his latest single / video "a strange and dark instrumental, sure to be a big radio hit..." done by David Lynch. Reminds me of Mazzy Star.. Check it out:

Tweenbots

Tweenbots is a little (adorable) robot experiment that Kacie Kinzer did in NYC.

"In New York City, we are very occupied with getting from one place to another. I wondered: could a human-like object traverse sidewalks and streets along with us, and in so doing, create a narrative about our relationship to space and our willingness to interact with what we find in it? More importantly, how could our actions be seen within a larger context of human connection that emerges from the complexity of the city itself? To answer these questions, I built robots ... Mission 1: Get from the Northwest to the Southwest Corner of Washington Square Park / time: 42 minutes / number of people who intervened: 29"

Macbeth Photograph'd

Happy Birthday Jeremy!

Approximately this time last year:

Pfffftttthhhh!

J's birthday was a significant one last year. I broke up with him. At the zoo. Thank the universe I figured out the right thing to do. That was to be with the man who has treated me better and with more respect than any other man I've know.

To 35 more years of knowing you.

Cuter than you

Allow me to change your life for the better.

Solo Project

I took a solo stroll through Huntington Gardens yesterday. For me, a significant path to change is often just getting in the car and driving. I do more thinking while driving than most other places. Thinking about personal growth, change. I have realizations and find understanding in implementation of the action necessary for change.

Yesterday was one of those days. Good. Productive. Thoughtful. Arriving an hour before they opened with some time to kill, I began and finished the book I brought: It's not how good you are, it's how good you want to be. Precisely what I needed to read yesterday. The drive to the gardens proved insightful. The wander through them, even more. The Gardens were beautiful. Perfect weather.
