movies/outta the way PECK!

watched willow, and superbad.  not back to back, but within the last few days.  that’s the new problem hannah and I have with our life, netflix.  next up is kicking and screaming, and not the will farrell movie, which is actually pretty funny because he has a brother who is as old as his son.  what’s also funny is I didn’t realize that sorsha and madmardigan actually fell in love for realz during the filming of willow and married shortly after.  we are going to do a movie night sometime but I don’t know when, and what the hell to watch because there are so many movies/shows in the world.  i had never seen superbad before, it’s funny.  I also didn’t realize how much non stop fighting/action was in willow, as a kid I sort of thought the story was more balanced in pace, but I guess I was just wrong or had a.d.d. because there is a battle like every 2 min.  I also didn’t realize that there half of willow’s lines in the movie were just yelling “madmardigan wait!” or “madmardigan stopppp!!!” or “Kaya!!!”, etc.  hahaha.  Also learned (i’m learning a lot) that the actor who played willow is like the ruler of all midget actors, if you look at his filmography he’s in everything that has ever needed a midget in his lifetime!!  anyways, willow imho a perfect kid movie.  back to movie night, would a sealab night be cool? or the proposed forever thai night ie Ong Bak + The Protector + thai food be cool?  or like John Carpenter night ie BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA + THEY LIVE be cool?  there are entirely too many options.  hahhaa oh god i just thought of the ultimate: PITCH BLACK + FAST AND THE FURIOUS + XXX + CHRONICLES OF VIN DIESEL + a five course meal of mountain dew and code red.

IN THE PIT! IN THE PIT! IN THE PIT! IN THE PIT! IN THE PIT! IN THE PIT! IN THE PIT! IN THE PIT! IN THE PIT!

    Hey, dunno if you remember me… I wonder if I still have claim to #1 fan after this long stretch…

    Anyway, onto movie recommendations.

    Could always watch Labyrinth, but that’s just going in with the stack of movies I associate with Willow-time.

    Sealab night would not be cool. Well maybe. I’d probably do a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles night just as readily. Do not read that as sarcasm.

    Thai night response = Little Fortune Night. AKA “Jackie Chan and Those Other Wankers”: Project A, Winners and Sinners, My Lucky Stars, Twinkle Twinkle Lucky Stars, Wheels on Meals, and Dragons Forever.

    Vin Diesel comparison… umm… Sure… I’m way too tired for that one. Just watch all the Batman movies or something, and try to pretend that they’re all interconnected somehow.

    If you’re going to do a John Carpenter night, do the Apocalypse Trilogy: The Thing, Prince of Darkness, and In the Mouth of Madness.

QUEENS, Flushing Meadows, Ghost Park

I took a trip to Flushing Meadows on Sunday.  I decided to go there after lunch at the taco garage.  Anyways I biked to Flushing Meadows which was pretty ridiculous, on the way there.  Of course I got lost as soon as I got into Queens.  Nothing makes sense there, 60th Street is next to 60th Place is next to 60th Ave is next to 60th Lane, and all the numbers to that. Some streets with the same number run perpendicular to one another.

Flushing Meadows/Corona Park is the this huge park in Queens.  Shea Stadium, the US Open thing, Queens Museum of Art, some science thing, and remnants of the former worlds fair – which I was especially interested in, are all there.  Good ‘ol Karl brought up the topic of ghosts recently, and Flushing Meadows definitely has the aspects of a ghost world.  The former worlds fair is littered with these really huge megabuildings, which are in a fairly abandoned and dilapidated state.  While around it hundreds of thousands of people are playing in the park, around these hulking monoliths.  They seemed strange to me, very ghostlike in that they are urban voids, you can’t enter them but they consume a really large amount of space, are very sculptural in a 3 dimensional sense, and activity happens everywhere until you reach the threshold of the void.  The structure above commanded most of my attention, there’s some new building attached next to it, but it was closed, maybe if I got there earlier I could have gone in, but all in all the thing is now a birdhouse.  The Mount Olympus for the bird gods of Queens.

A few more pics and thoughts after the cut.

New Job

I got a job.  It’s a junior architect position at Daniel Goldner Architects which is great.  I started Thurday. 

In other news, we’re like 70% moved into our new place.  The last of the move will take place this Saturday.

The cat really likes the new apartment.

Sunday we should be done with everything.  I can’t wait.

I had an appointment in midtown on Wed.  Afterward, on my way back home I stopped by Jim Hanley’s Universe to have them hold a Scott Pilgrim for the signing they’re having 2 weeks from now.  The store was packed with people buying the above comic.  It’s an Obama Spiderman comic, I read it, it’s pretty idiotic, but whatever, I guess Marvel needs to sell stuff, Obama on anything probably sells pretty well, and I bought one.  It’s the second printing, which means they’re already done with the first printing, at this rate I bet a third printing will be happening soon too.  If you didn’t know Obama has expressed that he is a Spiderman fan, and that probably got those smart guys at Marvel thinkin’… !!!!  Otherwise I’m quite relived that the change of presidents has finally happened.  Good riddance.

Watched LOST, which was insane. I used to be able to keep up with what was going on sort of.  but now? like… yeah… pretty whack.  

I love it.

Also made some plans for the new loft.  A bedroom needs to be built.  Maybe I’ll post them soon.

new year

I return to New York more or less unemployed and look for work.  In the process of updating my portfolio and resume I made this for my 5th year project, The Vomitorium.  It feels like a really long time ago but I’m pretty pleased with the results.  It sort of cracks me up because it’s a heavily photoshopped image of an analog model that was built to look like a digital model.  I like the aesthetic.  I also posted a not as good night shot, and some other news after the cut.
