How Much Snacks Per?

Thursday, February 4, 2010
Ant Farm Keyboard

1) DJ Moneyshot, Magnetic Fields Forever: tracks like Elvis's brilliantly blended with hip hop (& grab Mother's Ruin for straight rock too).
2) DJ Nuts, Cultura Copia: out of control Brazilian bangers.
3) J.Rocc, Taster's Choice, Vol. 1: a smoother Brazilian set.
3) DJ Muro, Hot Dog Breaks: I would like Muro to create the soundtrack to my life (and perhaps be played by Parker Posey.)
4) DJ Format and Mr Thing, Holy Shit: a funtastic , hilarious, life-affirming masterpiece.
Ps Song of the day/week.

“Honest Ed's no midwife... But the bargains he delivers are real babies!”

When I was a kid I tried to convince her to listen to Ministry’s cover of Lay Lady Lay. Perhaps I should have gone with this one instead. She probably still wouldn’t have budged: we’re kind of a stubborn family. A friend just tried to convince me to come see a band called Soja. Her pitch? “They’re from Virginia and they’ve got sort of a reggae feel.”
*Great news re: Pizza Snack: they boys are improvising a pizza order & "snack" actually means jivetalking in Swedish (intentional double entendre?) I'll put up a transcript soon!

Snookie Goes to Bollywood

Another friend made the bold decision to quit a law firm gig to write children's books full-time, which is way cool but maybe not quite as cool as a dude a fourth friend met. "VICTORY!" he exclaimed, throwing his arms in the air and ordering everyone to join him for a victory shot. He had just won an extended cellphone argument with his gf about whether her new male friend liked her. "I'm not the kind of guy to get jealous," he explained, "I mean, look at me: I'm a champ."
And, last but not least, Pizza Snack! I have no idea what the deal is, but I love it.

Post-Presidential Nicolas Sarkozy Projects (Brainstorm)

2) Starring in a Little Nicky remake directed by (in order of preference) a Baldwin brother, a Wayans brother, or Zach Braff
3) Setting a world record involving pizza or hot dogs
4) Convincing Eric Clapton to rededicate “Tears in Heaven” to him (otherwise settling for “Wonderful Tonight”)
5) Starting a Guess Who blog
6) Writing cryptic missed connection postings for Rob Lowe on The Craiglist

Professione: reporter

I just saw The Passenger and yes, Antonioni is the coolest. Weaving through Gaudi's Palacio Güell, a girl he just met (Maria Schneider) tells Jack Nicholson's David Locke that "people disappear every day." He agrees, "Every time they leave the room."
Back in a fantastic London, Locke's estranged wife is trapped; obsessively watching documentary film he shot in Africa, she tries to piece the final act together. The ghost's camera is turned on him by her, a witch doctor, and us. It's revelatory.

Pride Is a Fool's Fortress

1) Sage tea with dark chocolate.
2) Discovering the incorporation of the English-ish words coolly (adj. Wow, that is so coolly!) and excite (adj. I'm excite!) into Hebrew slang.
3) Israeli Ben Savage, a 17-year-old on all four legs of my trip who inexplicably became my nemesis. He seemed to enjoy a good stare down.
4) Mountain biking to sites like John the Baptist's birthplace.
5) My twin brothers' bar mitzvah (held here).
6) Just before his bedtime on the eve of my flight, my littlest bro sadly played "Dust in the Wind." His camera shyness is SEW outweighed by his cuteness.
