gchatz w/ john

john: um, that beatles rock band commercial freaks me out too
when they have that close up on john lennon's messed up digitally inserted face, he looks like a serial killer
me: totes
its so weird
and on vh1 theyve been having all these obscure musicians talking about how the beatles are their favorite band
that's ridic
nobody's favorite is the beatles
john: people just say that
me: that's like saying michael jackson is your favorite
or elvis is your favorite
boooooooooooring
john: it's like saying chocolate is your favorite.
everyone likes chocolate
me: thats like saying the internet is your favorite
or walking is your favorite
john: have a freaking identity
for god's sake
why don't they just grow a pair
me: speaking of god
god's my favorite
john: i'm a huge fan of god's work
really strong stuff
me: ugh
john: ugh


Brooklyn Queens Expressway

Interlude I—Dream Sequence in Subi Circumnavigation from Asthmatic Kitty on Vimeo.

snuffles (sufjan) stevens is releasing this multimedia package including a comic book, a dvd, audio of the concert, and some other stuff to present his BQE composition. this is a sample of the dvd, i think.

enchanting.

youre right!

nymag has a new sports section, and they really hit it out of the park with this article on the shabby state of new york public tennis.
its like the last frontier of sports, as players bully and complain their way onto courts, and the "managers" do little to nothing to maintain control.

fix it!

the us open makes me want to play, but i shouldnt have to schlep to prospect park to play tennis.

NeRd aLeRt!

just kidding about that second, uglier design for the new Brooklyn Nets stadium. Forest City Ratner gives SHoP a chance to spruce up the Ellerbe Becket design with improved results. Who wants to take bets on what this monster is going to look like when (if?) it finally gets built. The biggest insult... Frank Gehry chairs in the renderings of the luxury suites. ctm.

george clooney movie

its about being laid off...

Up in the Air Teaser Trailer from /Film on Vimeo.



inside the movie, real people who have been laid off were interviewed and appear telling their stories as people who have been laid off.

happy 09.09.09!!

i'm pretty sure three 9's is the mark of the beast, but so far this day is pretty uneventful. i've scoured the internet for reasons to get excited about it, but so far nothing. i couldn't care less about beatles rock band. in fact, it gives me the creeps, and i want it to get off my tv. and apparently, apple's having some sort of event centered around an ipod...but i can't make any sense of that either. it seems in the UK you can dial 999 if you have a silly emergency.

i did come across a wonderful wikihow with some great ideas of how to celebrate.

here are 2 things i AM looking forward to today:

1) going to see federer, soderling, and oudin at the US open.
2) president obama getting me some healthcare tonight in his big speech.

what are you guys doing with this "calendrical anomaly"?
