not dead yet
Hey! Yeah you! hey! that's right, i'm not dead yet, although i post very infrequently, you cant forget about me yet! it turns out, my life is just very boring, and so i rarely find the need to post anything about it. I have decided, however, that Vodka is important. important enough to post about. So, vodka. Specifically some grey goose vodka poured into some jars with various things to make grey goose vodka plus. This run we are making Grey Goose plus vanilla (which is actually all done now, and very very tasty) and Grey Goose plus Mango, which should be done right around the 4th of july. so, i will leave you with this profound thought: vodka = yum | | Monday, April 4th, 2005 | | 8:37 am |
sushi train
well, i managed to log enough time online to max out the fee (one minute is $0.55, up to an hour, and then it doesnt cost anything more) so i am taking advantage of the massively expensive internet to try and cram in as much online goo-gaw as possible, and that includes all of you! anyhow, had a great weekend here, had my first experience with real absinth. It's clear, not green, and holy FUCK is it strong. the stuff we were drinking was the actual 'Green Fairly' brand, and came in an unmarked glass bottle with a glass stopper, very bohemian. My new favorite place on the planet is a little vodka bar on Chapel street called 'Borsch, vodka and tears'. great food, large russian women serving tiny glasses of massively expensive and incredibly fabulous vodka. Anyway, where was i? oh yes, the crushing drunk of the green fairy. so there we were, already on a first name basis with all the staff due to the six or seven shots of vodka we had already consumed when the bartender (a tall punk dude with full arm tatoos) was making some drinks for some other lucky patrons, and pulls out the unmarked glass bottle with the glass stopper and pours four water-clear glasses. 'What is that?' i ask. "green fairy" he smirks back at me. "well.." already trashed at this point, "we better have one of those then" two shots of the most potent alcohol plus wormwood later, we are becoming legends at the bar due to the fact that we are crazy americans tipping like mad and getting seriously pissed, the waitstaff start giving us free shots and doing shots with us. i dont even remember how much crazy vodkas we had that night. i do however remember the crushing hangover the next morning after stumbling home to pass out in my hotel room. anyway, the sushi shot has absolutly nothing to do with vodka, and was taken on a nice lunch outing with the lovely and talented Shari, who goes to Uni out here in Melli, and so we will get to hang out quite a bit while I am down here. ok, i have gone on for too long. | | Thursday, March 31st, 2005 | | 6:19 pm |
peek a boo!
where the fuck have i been? it has been nearly a month since my last entry! holy shit time does fly. Anyhow, out of tamworth after three weeks with a long weekend stop in Sydney (so many stories there, how can sooo much happen in a four day period i ask you? not enough time to type it all here, but to give you a hint, there was a girl. (there is always a girl) and yes, an australian girl, and no not that one, a new one) Then down to Melbourne where we started right off on Ghostrider. Looks like i will be here for about five weeks total and then who knows! There are rumours that we might slip over onto another film that is shooting here in melbourne or we might go back to sydney (where the girl is, ahhh... sydney.. ) so, there you go! in any case not back to the states until mid may-ish at the earliest (but I will probably convert my work visa to a tourist visa if there is a break in work in the states and stay here for longer to see more of ... Sydney ;-)
Oh, and although I have not been posting responses to all youses entries (cuz typing shit takes time and online time costs big cash out here) i have been reading them, so don't think i have vanished entirely :-)

three minute blog entry
hey all! my first blog entry from Oz, and i only have about 3 minutes before I have to run out to meet my crew, so it is gonna be quick and poorly typed. anyhow, i am in a city called 'Tamworth' which if you look on a map is north and a bit west of sydney (about 400km drive) anyhow, got some groovy pics up on the flickr, one of which is this one. check em out! i will try to post more this weekend. | | Thursday, February 24th, 2005 | | 12:45 am |
Sydney harbour
Well, all you crazy kids, it is that time of the year where I leave the country for a few months. I get to go hang out with hundreds, nay thousands, of hot girls with australian accents. wish me luck! (oh, and I will try and update LJ, but I dont know whether we will have access on location or not, so they may be few and far between :-) Oh, in case you are confused, I am going to Australia. First Sydney (well, locations near Sydney), for Superman. Then we fly to Melbourne to work on Ghostrider. It should keep me occupied for at least three months. cheers! | | Tuesday, February 15th, 2005 | | 11:28 am |
the roof, the roof, the roof is all saffron
Many of you have maybe heard of the latest massive public art thingy by Christo, 'The Gates at Central Park". Well, here are some shots. At first I thought that it would be kinda lame and a giant waste of taxpayer dollars. Come to find out that it was actually a really cool thing, and wandering around under the gates in central park is strangely happyifying. Something about the color and the wavy bits of fabric just seems to make all the onlookers smile. Also, it turns out that the artist payed for the whole thing himself, and wold nto allow anyone to volunteer, he payed every single person who helped out, and all the stuff is made from recycled materials and will be industrially recycled after it's use. wow, cool! also, this is being touted as the most photographed event EVER.As of right now, on flickr (the 'ever' link) there are just over 1900 photos posted of the gates. holy crap. Anyway, it will be up till the end of the month, you should all come out and see it ;-) | | Wednesday, February 9th, 2005 | | 12:17 am |
dead sexy
Well, in order to make our various web sites look less like crap and more pro so that we can woo investors, we have decided to start by getting pro pics taken of our various selves. (us being homewrecker films) I got to go first. this man is the best headshot guy in NYC! click through if you want to see lots of really normal people, who have been captured beatuifully. (as well as some liquid hot model types :-)

what a sexy sexy bitch
Here it is, the story of the Icon. It is all to blame on one cute australian girl. Shari was the inspiration for the original. Anyway, click through for the whole boring story. | | Tuesday, January 25th, 2005 | | 6:19 pm |
playing in the fountain
actually shot this on sunday, when the snow wasn't too slushy and horrible. There was ten billion people in central park because of the big snow. It was absolutely insane. And they all had cameras. (and since I had my camera, i kinda felt like a big dork. usually I am the only one with a camera, so i kinda feel cool, yah know, but when everyone and their dog is clicking off shots, then i feel sooo conformist, bleah!) anyway, i tried to ameliorate my lameness by taking pictures of people taking pictures, yah know, try and be all meta n shit. But it turns out, the general populace is kinda ugly, so none of those photos are worth a damn. I did however get this interesting series at bethesda and I photoshopped them all into one pic for your viewing enjoyment. | | Sunday, January 23rd, 2005 | | 7:52 pm |
neglect
I have been neglecting my live journal. Apologies :-) anyhow, it has been snowy here. they are calling it the blizzard of 05, but really we only got, like 12 - 18 inches here in the city, which by denver standards really only qualifies as a big storm. But, I had fun playing in the snow anyway. I went out last night between 2am and 4am, it was surreal, rarely do you get a chance to walk through new york city and have there be nobody around and no cars anywhere. and you can walk down the middle of the road. ( i did run into people in the village, but soho was a graveyard ) | | Wednesday, January 19th, 2005 | | 9:53 pm |
snowy street
Again with the cold. Although I think that I am actually going to go out in it and wander around. The city is a different place on nights like tonight. I will most likely end up at the esperanto, I always end up there. Well, happy snowy night to all! | | 2:39 am |
white water, cold weather
So, it has been a blissful -2 degrees today, and there has been a frostbite advisory all evening. Now, while i do enjoy the cold, it has put a bit of a damper on my plan of going out at least once a day and getting some photos, hopefully one of which would not suck enough that I would feel like I could post it up here for y'all. Instead, you get a photo from the weekend, when it was much warmer, and i could actually walk around with my camera in my hand without fear of never being able to remove it from my icy cold digits. So, for your viewing pleasure: This is a shot of the fountain in Lincoln Center (by the Metropolitan Opera House). | | Monday, January 17th, 2005 | | 11:58 am |
A Study in White Castle
Have you even been to a White Castle? I had not, not until this saturday, when, on my way home I stumbled across one. Anyway, there is actually a whole story to it, but you are gonna have to click through to read it all since I don't want to re-post it here. (i am sooo lazy :-) | | 2:14 am |
Panda Wear
Hmm it seems that it was a brutal weekend for the LJ servers. I got on friday night (when the outage first happened and i was like "Ahhh! what am I going to do? LJ is down! It's friday night and LJ is.. oh wait... [sound of apartment door closing behind me]" Well, my uber-nerdy custom panda tees arrived in the mail on friday. So, feel free to click through and see how nerdy they really are. (I like to think that they are geek-sheik, but what do i know?) | | Friday, January 14th, 2005 | | 1:52 pm |
rainy street
It was a quiet day in online land yesterday (well, at least from my vantage point) Until i get home late and find out that all sorts of shit has gone down behind the scenes. Anyway, as the catalyst to all that (it would seem) I will present my apologies to all those affected. I am sure that the reactiveness was already there, It would seem that all it took was just my presence (apparently I can make a pretty big splash :-) and all the various other reagents were able to react. (if I knew fuckall about chemistry I am sure I could make some very clever analogy here, but I cant, so I wont). That said: here is yet another pic. taken last night on my way home from the Esperanto Cafe, which is my favorite all-night coffee house, where i spend many of my waking hours. It has been very wet here recently, and the cobble streets in SoHo look so very cool at night, and this photo doesn't really do them justice. | | Thursday, January 13th, 2005 | | 4:35 am |
I heart NY
Note to self: never ever leave the flat without taking the camera!!! I always have to walk all the way back home and retrieve my camera. Much like earlier tonight, i was wandering down in the lower manhattan area (kinda near the brooklyn bridge) and the atmospherics were so amazing. I found myself in Foley Square (near the courthouse) just standing in the crisp chill air, looking at the ghostly images of windows hanging seemingly without support, like glowing doorways in the mist high above me. My breath, floating briefly visible in the still night. It was very nice. but of course, I did not have my camera with me, so I have to walk back to my place (which is really only about a ten minute walk, so not too bad really, and get my camera so I could come back and take some photos. so, there you go. | | Wednesday, January 12th, 2005 | | 4:58 pm |
Let's jsut see how this all works shall we?
so, theoretically this groovy flickr thingy allows me to blog right form their site to my LJ blog. so we will just see how this goes... Oh, in case the does actually work: this is a shot form teh top of the empire state building that I took in november. it was very cold that night, but it was a very cool view. so there you go | | 4:54 pm |
Flickr
This is a test post from  , a fancy photo sharing thing. | | 1:33 pm |
so i'm suppused to, like, write shit n stuff, yeah?
OK, well, i see that this is goign to be a slow and painful process. Not really being used to writing a journal of any sort. Ok, so here we go: oh yeah! right on! any time now, really. oh, fuck it. Well, inspired by the concept behind the live journal, and, of couse, never satisfied, I nearly immedietly find this: flickr.com which caters to my need to anti-socialize by always being behind a camera. (and, also has a handy LJ type comment thing going on. so I am gong to simultaneously delve into the LJ world and the flickr world. This will give me something to write about. (i mean besides the obvious: oh, woe is me, australian girl troubles, et al) anyway, i am now also a member of the flickr community with the same name, but there isn't anything up there just yet, chill! gimme a few hours fer chrissakes.. | | Tuesday, January 11th, 2005 | | 6:42 pm |
