Black olive cookie (savory + sweet) from Abroca on E 7 St in the Village. Damn fine cappuccino too.

playing around with new tumblr themes. current favorite: brand new day, though i was also impressed with color shades and amused by vertigo.
like? dislike? or are you all reading me via the tumblr dashboard, so it’s irrelevant?
i saw an early preview screening of lars von trier’s antichrist on thursday.
we will be discussing this in october when it’s released. please come prepared.
dear right-wing lunatic fringe
we’ll show you obama’s birth certificate when you finish counting the bush v. gore votes in florida.
until then, kindly shut the fuck up.

p.s. keep your guns the hell away from my president.
"[the mandate is] to keep doing what he’s doing..that is really the gift of joss. some people can create a good show."
— kevin reilly, president of entertainment for fox broadcasting at the television critics association summer press tour.
i’ve come to the conclusion that the sole, solitary beneficiary of the wga strike was joss whedon.
the strike gave him the time and impetus to do dr. horrible’s sing-a-long blog. dr. horrible was great, hugely popular and made money in a medium that is usually unprofitable (yet seems to be threatening the underpinnings of the entire entertainment industry).
joss whedon has now become for tv what woody allen has been to film - just write the man a check and leave him alone. except that joss is still funny.

i saw harry potter and the half-hour too long movie last night with niki.
full disclosure: i’m not a rowling fan and i haven’t read the books, though i’ve seen all the movies to date and i know where the story’s headed. i find the hogwarts universe charming, but always thought harry a rather bland and uninteresting hero; the latest big-screen installment does nothing to change that point of view.
i am reminded that there isn’t an actor alive i’m more happy to see walk into a scene than alan rickman. he’s in that rare category of “never not good.” and with the right material, he is often breathtaking.
even as special effects, lavish art direction and a tongue-flicking helena bonham carter threaten to overwhelm h.p. & the h.b.p., rickman somehow pulls you in again and again with stillness and skillful underplaying.
snape could so easily slip into parody-goth (*ahem* bonham carter) or snide queeniness. rickman does far more with less in a way few actors would dare.
i will not be the least bit surprised when several of my friends who’ve never been to my office are able to identify these action figures solely by their silhouettes.
also: i need to stop working so damn late.
Via misstugui, via mazes
this is unmistakably a page from the amazing (and amazingly weird) codex seraphinianus.
in high school, my friend cassidy had a copy that i coveted greatly. i spent quite a few years poking into used book shops in search of one before the fever died down. still a wonderfully strange work of art.
