Today, my cinematographer and I trolled around NYC and Dumbo shooting the cityscape we’re going to project on our male model’s body tomorrow. This included the Meatpacking District, and the West Village, and even my old digs in Chinatown. Super-fun –– and then off to American Apparel to buy fou...
For a while when I was a pure night owl in NYC I would often watch Nikita on USA -– or somewhere –– at 2:30 in the morning. And my favorite thing about it was that the highest level operative Michael pretty much only said 2 things in each and every situation and somehow that was enough. I’ve had mome...
Second to the last night in the cottage. 2 more days on my regime before I leave for Cancun. Surprising last minute orders of DVDs I have to ready for Hong Kong and Seattle. Awesome interview w/major magazine today that will appear in tandem with book release –– must solve all download problems for bonus g...
More like SMASHED! (sigh …) So I awoke yesterday to find that some crazy person had banged into my car between 12:30 am and 6:30 am in its parking spot. No note (of course). I did have the hope that this was one of those dents they could take a plunger (or whatever that tool is) and get out easily, b...
I’ve been packing on multiple levels today –– out of the cottage in San Francisco and into storage, for Cancun, for Mexico, and then back to San Francisco –– and suddenly it became beyond obvious that I needed some new luggage. I’ve been obsessed with the DASH products from the Brookstone since...
Such an intense day, I don’t know where to start (well, I know when it started –– at 5:30 am and that it’s midnight and I’m still working away) … however, even though I’ve just spent a few hours watching the videos for Hoot Suite and the last thing in the world I now want to d...
I find this picture –– part of a series of 33 Most Beautiful Abandoned Places –– quite haunting. It’s even more compelling that it has since sunk into the ocean. Yesterday I saw a terrific possible sublet situation (although a little too expensive) and awoke to find an email saying that the owners ha...
I’m happy to say that on my secret tumblr blog where I write about my diet/exercise regime every day, reporting my weight loss (or gain), waist size, Body Fat and BMI (taken from a $40 device I bought on Amazon, so I’m not sure how precise it is), I now have exactly one follower. And frankly, I...
As I try to rein things in and simplify the volume of activities that I feel are incumbent upon me … my DATA went crazy. Meaning, AT&T texted me to tell me that I’ve used up 95% of my data for the month in the first 4 days of my billing cycle. Clearly something is wrong –– and they totally ...
