urgh, i just realized how nasty the wine i am drinking is.
is that even a complete sentence? whatevs.
i got a raise on thursday, which is completely un- or very much deserved, depending on the day you ask. at this very moment in time, the raise was very much deserved, if only to temporarily ease the pain of just getting a raise and realizing that you have no one to celebrate with. i should also add, that said raise wasn't so significant that i can now buy friends, but it's just enough so that cheap bottles of wine can now be bumped up to necessity.
then again, that's why the powers that be invented the 'wines under $10' display at whole foods, and youtube. right now, i have a tab open for each battles video: tonto and atlas, and in between gulps of cheap red wine i switch between them. it's like i'm seeing them live! and if everything works out, i will be equally as wasted but at the henry fonda october 30th.
in my opinion, the video for atlas is a much better video, it's a sharper looking video, the edits are synched perfectly to the song, and overall glass cube trumps rock quarry in just about everything. however, there is a minute thirty seconds in tonto that is just awesome! so i embeded the video, you're welcome.
this week's nymag came in the mail today, and on the cover is a feature about my favorite blog in the entire world, gawker.
and even though i had already read it at work, reading it again on my
third glass of wine provided a much deeper reading and understand,
espiecially this chunk:
But what’s happened now, related to that, is that culture has dried up and blown away: The Weimar-resurgence baloney is hideous; the rock-band scene is completely unexciting; the young artists have a little more juice, but they’re just bleak intellectual kids; and I am really dissatisfied with young fiction writers.”
Sicha, a handsome ex-gallerist who spends his downtime gardening on Fire Island, is generally warm and even-tempered, but on this last point, he looks truly disgusted. “Not a week goes by I don’t want to quit this job,” he says, “because staring at New York this way makes me sick.”
now substitute
new york for EVERY CITY IN THE WORLD, and you'll start to realize: the
world is full of rich douchebags that are ruining society, hordes of
carrie sadshaws are co-opting art and making it almost impossible for
independent artists to live.
oh, but it gets better, the writer
of this cover story briefly mentioned that page six's (the gossip
column of the new york post) editor richard johnson had been
'emasculated' after it came out that one of his own editors had been
taking bribes from rich business men in exchange for positive press.
richard johnson's response?
i had lunch with an old colleague of mine on wednesday, she works down the street from me at telepictures. her boss is the producer of the online version of 'extra' the hollywood tabloid show. she gets to blog about celebrities all day. ALL DAY. my dream job- ish. her boss is 22.
yea, it's time for that other bottle.
oh, and today while reading wired and nymag i came across two egregious errors in their magazines, first off: in wired they spelled 'helped' as HELEPED!!!
IN MEDIUM FONT.
second error: in nymag they confused its and it's. OMG PEOPLE!
on a lighter note, here is the video for 'tonto,' it gets good around 2:20 and hits its peak around 3:40 then just meanders about until the song ends 4 minutes later.
