On the way back from buying groceries today, the train stopped after leaving the departing station and promptly stopped in the middle of the track, underground. It was a two car Muni train, and in front of me was a mother with a baby, while next to me was an antsy young man in fashionable sweatpants (it's not an oxymoron if it has fancy graffiti- ( Read more... )

Thought I'd make it out of the house. It didn't happen. Ended up doing some major cleaning, although we still have piles of laundry taunting me. Time is such a funny thing in how it slips away like that ( Read more... )

We're going minimal today, Photobooth-style. Finally finished laying down the music for the scene between Sara and Joan in TGD. It was a bit harder to figure out, but it unlocked some other clues to musical themes and instrumental metaphors. I figured out how to lay in the main theme in as well, so that's a bit comforting ( Read more... )

It's been quite cold recently in San Francisco. Today wasn't an exception. I decided to go out for brunch to one of my usual haunts in the neighborhood, and saw a cute baby bundled up in a lamb outfit. She (he?) hadn't learnt how to say any words properly yet.

I've been making a bad habit of waking up pretty late. Somehow, between eating a late brunch and trying to get the self-portraits in, I missed going to the Moma, despite it being free Museum today. (Curses!) I know it how vain it is to do be doing these daily portraits, but I'm using it as a means to explore expression. I started with another " ( Read more... )

Jason introduced Woody Allen's The Purple Rose Of Cairo last night -- and I forgot how good Jeff Daniels is, and what incredible range he has. It's hard to pinpoint him in one role, but I love how he can go from Terms Of Endearment to Dumb and Dumber to Woody Allen. Purple Rose is an awesome film, and it's on Neflix's Play Now Instant Watch. It ( Read more... )

i'm going to be in new york from feb21-28. figuring out where to stay during that time will be interesting, but i was able to book a roundtrip ticket for about $300 -- which is a STEAL. it's going to be the longest trip I've made to NYC, and maybe I'll tire of it quickly and want to come home sooner, but I've been getting the urgings to make a ( Read more... )
