in good company
I just met Sarah Jessica Parker’s old assistant, since promoted to “business partner” of sorts. She’s my age, or a few years older. It took me all my time not to ask “so how exactly does one GET at job like yours?” I took note of her outfit, as I would assume SJP only surrounds herself with people that have great style. She was wearing dark skinny jeans, a short...
buzzfeed found me
I was wondering why I kept getting referrals from buzzfeed.com so I did a little looking around, and check it out! My call that Paramount Vantage is the new Focus Features is listed in the 5 Best Links for that post topic. So big time.
The Farnsworth Invention
Tonight I saw The Farnsworth Invention. It was truly phenomenal, unlike anything I’ve seen on Broadway in years. The dialogue was so refreshing and clever, easy to follow but full of intelligent details. Loved it. I decided to wait around and meet the two leads after the show. Jimmi Simpson stole the show. And afterwards, was unbelievably kind and gracious. I will definitely go see him in...

copy room chatter
Lauren: [making copies] this ink is low
Tall Lady: [loading paper in separate machine] of course it is
Lauren: [trying to staple] and now there's no staples
Tall Lady: not surprised
Lauren: low ink, no staples...
Tall Lady: ranks right up there with no paper in the fax machine
Lauren: oh good one!
Lauren and Tall Lady: [awkward giggles]
tomorrow
I’ve just remembered that tomorrow is International Delete Your MySpace Account Day. And since I am loyal to my word, I will do it, but I am completely unprepared! Is it against the rules if I maintain a “secret profile” so I can still search for music? I think it is.
“He’s short, stocky, a little thick. Carrying an extra 50 pounds. Cute...”
– Some girl I overheard on Sunday @ Supper, describing the guy she’s considering breaking up with to her friend. Poor guy, he can do WAY better.
dangerousground.org no more landmines. dangerous ground project. Check out this website. They’ve filmed a guy trying to cover a huge chunk of London without touching the ground (instead he climbs walls, jumps over sidewalks, walks on guard rails, etc).

the nba
If you happen to be watching the Knicks game tonight on TV, my Dad and I will be in the 5th row right behind the 76ers bench. I haven’t exactly planned my outfit, but I hope to be sporting a big foam finger and crazy blue top hat.

Rachel Hills on "being Australian" →
I was looking forward to reading this and am glad to have found a text version. I love what she has to say. I’m an Australian who has spent more time in the States than Oz, I sound like an American and can barely remember the words to the national anthem (Australian or American, for that matter). I spend quite a few of my quiet moments wondering in which culture I happen to “fit...
New Music Fridays! I’d like to introduce you...
a stroll home
Tonight I left work and started up 6th Ave. I passed Shia Labeouf dressed as a businessman. He was closely followed by Chris Kattan (he checked me out), wearing a jumpsuit, similar to what a high school janitor might wear. A few minutes later, I passed John’s Pizzeria and saw Kevin Smith smoking outside. At this point I started to wonder if I was accidentally high and imagining things, or if...

Interesting interview with Christopher Plummer, Heath’s costar on their latest film, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. They were less than half way finished with filming.

Dear Friends, We’ve known each other a long time. Some of you, over 10 years. I never would have imagined that on this day, you would forget that I celebrate my 1/2 birthday. Do you not remember back at SMS High School when you’d decorate my locker with streamers, balloons and magazine cut-outs of Leo? I do. It always meant so much to me. And now I’m 25 1/2, no thanks to...
