shit, nothing beats a toasted bagel with cream cheese in the morning. well…possibly a lactaid pill, but i try not to think about those kinds of things. met up with fish at the manhattan mall friday nite after work. we were grabbing foody and then catching the movie millennium actress. our original plan was to hit up sazerac house for cajun, but that was changed to delta grill when we found out the movie was only showing at the loews underneath the virgin megastore times square. there were only 3 showings…1pm, 5pm, and 10pm, so we decided on the 10pm showing (duh). we then fig’d that we didnt have to eat so close to the theater and that we’d probably have 2 hours to burn after din…so we headed to kum gang san instead for some korean since fishs only had korean once…and well, it was right across the street. after stuffing ourselves stupid, we walked up to times square to bum til the movie time. i fig’d that a movie as good as millenium actress in such a limited release (read: one theater) would be hard to get into, so i reserved tix. a bit pointless. when all the attendants “packed” into the theater, the ten of us didnt put much of a dent into the seating. what the hell? it reminded me of the first time i saw spirited away (before it won an oscar and was re-released) and there were about 30 people in the theater…mostly families. hey, its their loss…the movie was excellent.

met up with marisol, dora, and alice saturday morning for some dim sum a go go. we headed to soho afterwards and checked out the new kid robot store. who knew they were doing so good?? kid robots tied with the minidisco crew, whom i still buy all my md goodness from…and kid robot was their (relatively) new outlet for kubricks, hk vinyl, etc. the store rocked, but im broke…which always seems to be the case. saturday nite was house party nite at missys. all kinds of former and current cornell architects showed up, with the occasional random non-cornellian or non-architect (or both). we drank on their balcony and made all kinds of disturbances. house parties rock.

i took the L train over to 3rd ave today after work since i was trotting down to astor place to meet anna for din at mogador. as the train pulled into the station, i noticed a face that i thought i recognized standing on the platform. im thinking…”cute dimples, pleasant smile….dj girl?” whereby i was met with a return glance answering, “yea…dj girl.” i hadnt seen or heard from alexis in a while…and while i had all but resigned myself to a life with no swapped cd, i held out hope that id get a happy surprise package in the mail one day (and hopefully not to my old address so i wouldnt have to call up my old roomie.) so what can one really say in the 3-5 second period of time as im getting off and shes getting on? i make a circle shape with my hands, mouth “cd?” and smile. hopefully she didnt take it as, “your nostrils are this big…“

im beginning to get the impression that my mind treats my dreams more substantially than id like it to. i had a dream last nite (that i can vaguely recall) and when i woke up this morning, i felt as if id been up all nite. thats super. it was one of those subconscious-yearnings type dreams. me and fish were in his new subaru outback ready to go on a long roadtrip. yea, dont make it too literal, ye bastards. he was a bit wary to let me drive because i hadnt driven in a while, and that the car was a little too small for me. when i got into the drivers seat, my knees kept banging against the steering wheel and i had to slide the seat all the way back til it touched the back row. right then. thats all the dream was about i think…we mightve also made a grays run and scarfed down hot dogs and pina colada. i think its time i started traveling again.

i was walking thru tompkins square park this morning on my way to the bus stop, and there were camera crews all around the northern end. i wanted to ask someone what they were shooting, but everyone was too busy looking busy. mebbe it was spider-man 2…or sex and the city. wait…sex and the city wouldnt be caught dead in alphabet city. i always get mildly excited seeing camera crews around the city. its probably b/c i secretly want to be involved…the personal assistant of a hot actress, or the guy who fetches donuts for everybody. my friend aggie got to be on the set of a number of films (she attended film festivals too) including kill bill (she talked to tarantino), hero (met chris doyle…whos a lush), and a number of wong kar wai movies (arrghh!!!). i was just a little envious. ive so far only seen sex and the city in central park (whup-deedoo), spider-man 2 down at the anthology, a few nbc commercial shoots (with 6 women in each of the 6 colors of the peacock on a rotating platform), and law & order: svu, who were shooting a scene outside of our office/factory (ice-t was eating in the deli downstairs. go east williamsburg!)

now i need an image. need an image….
