If/when the Cashiers du Cinemart book ever comes out, this is the photo I hope publications run if they need a picture of me. It was taken by my pal Stacey Walters. Good stuff.

How Unoriginal is Disaster Movie?

So unoriginal that it rips off the advertising for Uwe Boll's Postal. That's dishonest...low.

Key Words Don't Understand Irony

Keying off of the term "Tom Cruise," the ad for "TomCruise.com" came up on What Would Tyler Durden Do? tonight, not understanding irony whatsoever.

Only In New York

Just getting back from NYC where I did my best to play tourist. I took Andrea on a bus tour of the city, we went to a Broadway show (Avenue Q - tried to see it in Vegas before Sin City sent it packing but missed it), and even went to Ellis Island.

The best part of the trip had to be hooking up with Megan Abbott and Jason Starr for drinks followed by dinner and bullshitting with my old buddy Leon Chase. It was great seeing him after so many years.

The best and worst part of the trip had to be the initial leg of our bus tour where we were entertained/flabbergasted by our tour guide, Scotty. He didn't tell us anything that we didn't know already and he did so in an incredibly painful manner. He was a stutterer.

"You guys, you guys, you guys, over here, you guys, over here, this is the Empire, you guys, over here, this is the Empire State Building, right up here, you guys." And so it went from 47th and Broadway all the way to the Flatiron building when we stopped for a Jamba Juice and the safety of another tour guide. We hopped on and off the Greyline for the next couple of days (tickets were valid for 48 hours) and never had the displeasure of Scotty again, thank goodness.

Travel Pictures

Below are a few pictures taken on my recent trips.

A sign in a restaurant (SEN5ES). Usually animals (other than service animals) are allowed in restaurants. The addition of the word "live" makes me wonder what would happen if I dragged a rotting animal corpse in.

The TSA spares no expense on either "Recomposure Areas" (the place to put your shoes back on) or signage.

Big ups to my pal Nick for snapping this picture of some great public art in Baltimore.

Gross Stuff

Worms!

I don't know what was going on today but there were worms out in droves in the parking lot. I thought that they were twigs or leaves at first, but no. I lost count at fifty within the path from my car to the sidewalk (which was oddly bereft).

Sick Bastard

We're not in friggin' grade school around here but some asshole in the building where I work still thinks it is. Every few days the walls near the urinal get covered in bloody snot, wiped there by human fingers. I wish I knew who this person was, so I could break those human fingers.

Of All The Seats...

I took this picture after I moved seats... of all the places in the auditorium for this yahoo to sit, he puts his ass down right in front of me. What the fuck motivates people to do that? There were 225 seats in the Al Green Theater* and maybe 25 of those were taken...

*By the way... I finally found seats that were more uncomfortable than those at Fantasia and even the Detroit Film Theater.
