another day, another dollar.

so it's taken 1,022 days, or 2.8 years, or 33.6 months to write a new post in my long forgotten, but excitedly rediscovered blog.  since, i have left my old nine to five intern position and started another, where i have climbed the corporate ladder to "preditor" status.  i have come to find that even with a rad title, it is still difficult to pass the time in these eight hour days, so i wanted to pick up an old hobby.

 

alas, two birthday cards and a bromance i could not resist!  i can't wait until the next birthday; however i'm unsure if my grandpa would like to be photoshopped..

happy friday!  

À bout de souffle

the 50th anniversary 35mm print of "breathless" was showing at the bourse this last week and as one of my favorite films i went twice. to see it in an underground cinema, on the big screen, AND a new film print! i was in heaven.

interestingly with the death of dennis hopper i also watched "easy rider," whose cinematographer was laszlo kovacs.. michel's alias in "breathless." weird. kovacs is a famous hungarian cinematographer who shot a million films... free willy 2, ghost busters, say anything..., paper moon, wayne's world 2, blow out.. and a bunch more.

although a weird coincidence, roger ebert's article says it the name of jean-paul belmondo's character laszlo kovacs from the film "a double tour."

"i want to become immortal.. and then die."

thank you godard.

oy vey zbigniew

i have only known zbigniew as my best friend's polish grandfather until yesterday. i noticed on my walk to the water cooler there is a corporate zbigniew! today he was very concerned with a facilities worker digging up a hole in the lawn. from his cube he mumbled, "they've dug up that hole five times in the last month!" i can't tell if he's polish or german, but either way.. two zbigniews are better than one.

portland wiener hangin around with dude vinci.

thursday's arguement

jan hooks recently appeared on 30 rock as jenna's mom in the mother's day episode. my roommate and i got into an argument about whether she was in SNL or not. this is proof for my side of the argument.

it's just german to us..
