Being in the 30-something bracket you start getting different types of catalogs. The Free People and Urban Outfitters catalogues tend to go silent and then you start getting more Lands End-sy, Eddie-Bauer-ish catalogues. This is fine. I truly love my 30s because you’re automatically viewed as an adult who has responsibilities but you yourself know… Continue reading →

Everything that Tarantino did after Pulp Fiction takes time for me to like. Jackie Brown took a while but I love it now. Still can’t really adore Kill Bill. I warmed up to Death Proof but it’s no Reservoir Dogs. So his new movie Inglourious Basterds doesn’t interest me that much. Brad Pitt and Eli… Continue reading →

Dark brooding imagery. Post-apocalypse. Famine. Flood. War. Death. Jesus. This looks depressing as hell and I am all in.

When I was living in the UK I went to an exhibition of Damien Hirst’s in London. He’s the dude who sliced up animals and put them on display in formaldehyde. Shocking in the late 1990s but now…so ho hum. Anywho…I was a young student studying in the UK and here I am in London… Continue reading →

In everything in my life I am spot on prompt and if I'm ever late to meet a friend I profusely apologize and I'm terribly upset with myself. I consider it incredibly rude to be late on anything…except returning library books. I've paid the LA country library probably $500 in late charges in my whole… Continue reading →
