every now and then I remember that the promise ring’s very emergency is one of those rare albums you need to sit down and listen to all the way through. no skipping through tracks, no shuffling. you have to listen to every song in order.

then forget about it, come back a few months later and relive the experience all over again. I’m doing that right now.

I came across this brilliant blog today. it’s run by a chinese-born engineering student in the midwest who breaks down photos of chinese character tattoos.

good times.

I’ve been actively expanding my dvd collection lately. there are a few out there I’ve always meant to get and I figure what better time than now?

I got the tron 20th anniversary special edition thing and me and you and everyone we know. I’m really psyched to check out the latter, I’ve heard really good things. tron I’ve seen, and yeah it rules.

I just stumbled on this by accident but looky here. simon pegg & co, the people who brought you the genius of shaun of the dead and spaced are currently filming something called hot fuzz.

in one of the video blogs off of this site the director, edgar wright, says “there’s a good reason that not many action films are made in the UK, and I think we’re gonna discover every single one of them.”

so I had this theory that virgin megastore cashiers were putting ads specifically to hide brokeback dvd’s from showing through their semi see-through plastic bags.

well, yesterday I went and got ellie parker and they did the same thing.

I went to virgin at union square to pick up brokeback mountain today. if you’ve shopped at virgin you know they have these semi see-through plastic bags to put your purchases in.

when the cashier was putting the dvd in the bag I noticed she was slipping in some flyers or whatever, but it wasn’t until I was heading out the door that she had put numerous copies of the same ad on either sides of the dvd so you couldn’t see what was in the bag. was this because it was brokeback mountain?

what in the.

I’m gonna take it easy this weekend, having spent every weekend in march on shoots and such. I just came off of a weekend that entailed a sunset to 3am shoot on friday and saturday, capped off with a 9pm to 7am shoot on sunday night/monday morning. it’s really fucked up my sleep schedule.

been watching distance on and off before going to bed. man that is a good film.
