Lunch at BonChon the other day. There were two handsome young dudes at a table across from us. Early 20s, style best described as Effortless Cool. What I noticed and really admired about them was their selfie technique. They were just sitting there talking, serious conversation, blah blah whatever.

Then their food arrived and they immediately, wordlessly took out their phones and handed them to each other. One guy points the camera, the other guy makes a quick zany face and hand gesture. Snap. Then the reverse: picks up the other guy’s phone, quick zany pose, one snap, done. They handed their phones back to each other and put them away and continued their conversation.

No self doubt. No Wait is this weird. No Wait what was my face doing. No Let me look at 10 things on my phone while I have it out. Just a seamless transition in and out of their lives here in this world and there in the other. This is what I aspire to.

For real tho -
My friend Stephen runs this night once a month where he screens an exquisite piece of film garbage from his massive (unreal the size of this thing) VHS collection BUT WAIT THERE IS MORE: he also creates a title sequence and with his two best friends produces and splices in short films and commercials he has either scoured YouTube or eBay to find. They’re amazing and make the night not just another “Bad Movie Night” that you’d find at some other weird “youth” (oh god we’re almost all 30+) counter culture event.
The interstitials, as well as the vibe of “WE ARE ALL HERE TO HAVE FUN AND HUG” make it uniquely in His Voice. It’s not just watching something beautifully misguided, it’s Stephen’s art, and it’s my favorite night of any given month.
You can watch the interstitials at http://www.youtube.com/user/trashnightvideo and I HIGHLY recommend you do.

before i lose my style: kfan: I love this meme.You are in a mall when the zombies attack. You...

kfan:

I love this meme.

You are in a mall when the zombies attack. You have:
1. One weapon.
2. One song blasting on the speakers.
3. One famous person to fight alongside you.

Weapon can be real or fictional; you may assume endless ammo if applicable. Person can be real or fictional.

I still love this meme. 

OK! Taking this quiz again today 3 years later I choose:

1. Magik’s soulsword

2. “She Bad Bad” by Eve

3. The Bride of Nine Spiders

'The Office,' 'How I Met Your Mother,' & Why Ending Sitcoms Can Save Them

barthel:

On The Office, HIMYM, and why endings can be a creative boon.

I’m very into this and very into any exploration of How We End Things. Some random TV finale-related things off the top of my head:

  • I vividly remember the series finale to I Married Dora, I was 13 and it completely blew my mind. Suddenly it wasn’t just a TV episode, they broke through the 4th wall in a way that was so much more jarring than anything that had ever happened on It’s Garry Shandling’s Show. Like it shook me awake about writing & TV & The Rules.
  • I still haven’t watched the last episode of Terriers, one of my all time favorite shows, because it’s NOT a finale, so it’s kind of like there is still more of the show to watch if I want it, someday.
  • I think maybe? I also haven’t seen the last episode of Wonderfalls for that reason? I don’t know, Wonderfalls is this dumb blindspot in my cultural horizon.
  • How the finales to The Sopranos and 6FU became major cultural touchstones, almost in real time.
  • CRYING at the Three’s Company finale. CRYING. Jack turns off the apartment lights? CRYING. I was 10.

[N]o big break is going to make it easier to get up in the morning and write. What makes it easier is trusting your own instincts and noticing that you have giant ideas percolating in that herd-animal brain of yours, you just have to dig in and find them. After you find them, you have to write something terrible that eventually, through a lot of editing, over and over and over, becomes something great.

Ever wonder why some artists get signed to labels, and then they never get to release any music, or their record gets delayed forever? Aylin Zafar explains why this happens in this excellent, very well reported feature story.

This is super good. It references Jojo AND Casie, artists who are trying to stay positive and work outside a menacing and outdated system in order to keep putting their creative projects out into the world. They are both hugely inspiring to me.  Zoom Image
