The first few days of the year are always the hardest, it seems. But I bounce back quickly. It's like the world stop turning for a couple weeks at the end of December and it's hard to get that big blue ball called the earth to rotate again.

it's rainy and foggy in NYC on this saturday, 09/15/2007. My girl Sacha is in Istanbul hanging out with her friend William, who is visiting from Brazil. Amalia is still asleep in her room (always been a late riser, that one--understandable, since she went out last night) and Marlo the cat is sitting on the windowsill looking out, to make sure nothing out there will...

it's been a long while since writing in my journal. we didn't see the fireworks, couldn't see anything from here in manhattan.

Hey,.. so my gf came back from Brazil, all's well. I've moved back into my old digs, our cat is with us. Life is good. I'm going to the Cannes festival in two weeks, got my presss accreditation, etc. all good

wow, it's been a while since I wrote in my journal. so I moved back into my permanent digs in Chelsea; that's my own apartment (well, I rent) that I've had for four years but that I had sublet for the last six months.

People noticed me. first, there...

hm it's only 10 am on sunday. I'd better stop now.

anyway, so the dish turned out great.

coriander, cumin, garam masala (a spice), fresh ginger,...

american candy vs. euopean candy

for all those who grew up in Europe, you'll know what I mean when I say: American candy is sad. Whoever invented s'mores obviously had run out of ideas long before. is there anything more dreadful, more disgusting than s'mores in this world? pathetic.

oreo cookies, peanut butter cups. Sure, I've had those. they're ok. but so mediocre, compared to...

hey! so do you like my picture of Borat? Borat is so funny. yesterday morning I had surgery at the Hospital of Joint Diseases on East 17th Street. I had injured myself weightlifting back at thanksgiving and messed up some nerves in the elbow. I figured the doc would make a quick incision, do his thing, and I would be outof there. But oh no,...

please upgrade your entertainment, and widen your horizons. so many people listed natural born killers as their favorite movie. Two words for you: Shut up.

go to your local video store and ask for the latest Jim Jarmush movies (the last 3). Then watch one movie every 3 nights (gotta give time for it to sink in).
then get "The Station Agent"
next: Wim Wenders...
