"Mediocre people do exceptional things all the time."
-Ok Go
Sat inside wrapped in blankets all day.
When it got dark I lit a candle.
When it burnt out I went to bed.
First attempt at trying to do something with my keyboard.
Here's a rough draft.
(Please excuse that I cant play a piano but did anyway.)

“The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success.”
-Bruce Feirstein
Let me lay out the context of today:
Apparently were going with matt an Jeremy to a prison to bring Justin* clothes and talk with him about stuff. And we (Neil and I) are following close behind with cameras recording everything.
If we can.
Also recording other things to do with that- like Jeremy making phone calls, looking for an apartment for Justin and going to peoples places to check them out.
*Justin is Matts old friend and Jeremys older brother; somewhat crazy. Thats what some courts have charged him with, anyway. If you've heard any news of an evanka trump stalker who's been evading the law.
11:46am-
Prep. Getting cameras and gear together to go to prison.
12:56pm-
Supposed to follow Jeremy to meet a guy about an apartment for Justin. Should be there at 12:45.
1:31pm-
Finally there.
He's not there anymore. Kind of a jerk thing to do.
But, we were going to film him and ask him stupid questions anyway.
So were even.
2:49pm-
Jeremy talking about his brother Justin: "His legal name is Cloud Starchaser. But I NEVER call him that. ...I sometimes call him that."

1:46pm-
"hey its jaz.. Can i still stay at your place tonight? X"
Guess I need to go home and clean...
4:12pm-
When people start a sentence with 'a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away..' anything else they say is going to be disregarded entirely.
10:34pm-
Jaz and I talking about fancy cocktails. They're starting to sound good!
11:45pm-
She bought the 20 chicken nuggets, I bought the sunset.
1:44am-
"Well, when it's summer here it's winter in Australia.
"Is it really...??!"
"Yeah, Zane. That's how the world works.."

-Charles M. Schulz
5:04pm-
I call the studio--
"Red line studios.."
It's the new secretary.
"Hey, this is Zane, is Stacy there?"
"Yes."
"K. Can i talk to her??"
"And what is this about?"
"What...???! It's Zane..! Its about friendship and kindness and maybe French fries...!?"
"Oh, ok. Hang on..."
5:34pm-
Jeremy: "Hey, Zane... You're hair looks, very... Suave. Like it was good before but it looks like you went to a spa and cleaned up or something.."
9:58pm-
"EIGHT OH FOUR!!!"
Austin yells into the bathroom door. "Seans in the shower. Were timing him."
10:44pm-
Austin: "Sean, that doesn't make any sense. It started off making sense, but now its just nonsense."
Me: "Austin? How much do you think bob Dylan drank???? And how many things do you think he said that didn't make sense?? And you love it."
"If bob Dylan were in here, drunk in my kitchen, saying these kinds of things, I'd say, 'listen, bob Dylan, what you're saying doesn't make any sense.... If you put it in a song then yes, I'll listen to it and I'll love it. But right now you're just not making any sense..!!"

10:34am-
"How was your day yesterday..?"
"It was good. I went to a hotel that's on a tv show I watch..."
"What show?"
"Well.... Gossip Girl...."
"There it is..!"
10:41am-
"This coffee tastes like chemicals today..."
"Maybe it's your mouth. What have you been eating?"
"Macaroni and cheese. You know my life, Zane."
12:37pm-
Doesn't matter how many fans you have, if your in a heavy metal band and also know how to program flash video games, you're a nerd.
2:31pm-
Austin: "I can't believe you don't like cashews.. They're like the lobster of nuts."
6:54pm-
"You alright..? You look like there's a problem?"
"No.. I just farted."
"Oh. So more of a solution."
9:25pm-
"...I don't even know how to get to the roof."
"Well, there's really only one direction you can go..."
11:20pm-
"Adam, are these your boots?"
"Idontownboots."
11:43pm-
Standing outside the train station.
Austin "Well, wanna go down and sit on a bench and maybe play on our phones?"
"Hahaha!! You're not beating around the push with that one, are ya!"

Every single day someone compliments my beard.
Today at 2:38pm-
It was a 14 year old girl on the train.
3:01pm-
Definitely should have brought a jacket or something. So cold I can barely move.
3:45pm-
Walking around in the Empire Hotel.
Gossip girl people might appreciate this.

"We're fools whether we dance or not, so we might as well dance."
~Japanese Proverb
2:00pm - 8:00pm-
Nothing to record because I woke up, read, fell asleep, went to the studio (no one was there), and haven't said one word yet today..
8:44pm-
Overheard in the subway:
"...so, my friend went to the bathroom at a restaurant and there was an entire wall mosaic of Elton John. And it was some Japanese restaurant. A wall all covered in those little stones to make a giant Elton John..."
10:57pm-
An older woman came up with a glass of champagne and talked to Austin.
I couldn't hear what was happening so when she left he told me what had happened--
"...so I asked, 'how old are you?' she said 'why do you want to know?' I said..... 'cause I'm into older women'. And that, Zane, was my second mistake."
11:21pm-
Again, somehow talking to someone about their clothes or hair or something a guy shouldn't care/know about.
"It's good. Volume. Natural blonde, yeah..? I thought so. Do it like this..."
11:54pm-
"Why are you putting your hair up..??!"
"It's comfortable...?"
"Noo no no.."
So she didn't.
12:12am-
Guys dancing. Not your best idea, sir.

"Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut."
~Ernest Hemingway
2:19pm-
Trying to meet someone near the parade. There's a huge line just to cross the street..!?
3:38pm-
Her name is Hannah.
I met her through Formspring. ---
She's here visiting her cousin.
I meet her and her cousin and a bunch of his friends all dressed in green and being very loud at Cozi.
She wants to be a geologist. Boring. But i make the best of it. We talk about what rocks have to do with volcanos and earthquakes for a little bit and come up with quotes that make it sound exciting.
"It's dangerous.
It's deadly.
Its geology."
Eh..
6:50pm-
Text from Hannah.
"After you got off the subway, everyone said how fascinating and impressive your beard was. Just thought you should know."
9:39pm-
Sean: "...Their 2nd album was good too, but only the first- this wine sneaks up on you like a thief in the night...!"
9:42pm-
"this wine.... Is touching me in intimate places..."

I walk into Stacys office. She looks at me and starts cracking up.
".....Well.... I knew YOU wouldn't like it.
2:34pm-
Jeremy: "Hey, Zane. You look... Refreshed!"
"Haha!! Well thank you, Jeremy!"
4:35am-
Decided instead of making myself go to bed early so I can get up early (which rarely happens anyway), I'd just stay up and be productive while I'm actually feeling productive.
So I stayed up and read and cooked dinner and organized my shelves and learned two parts of two songs and made up two parts to a song.
Its like someone turns on my brain at 1 in the morning.

Neil likes my fort pictures. He's very impressed.
Very encouraging coming from him. (a DP)
9:27pm-
"What kind is it?"
"Oatmeal cookie ice cream. It's so goooood.. It's the most realistic ice cream I've ever had."
1:47am-
I start cutting my hair.
One minute in and I realize why God gave people brothers.

I didn't venture into the world today. So no one said anything clever or noteworthy.
I made a fort.
Took some pictures.
Realized that I'm possibly retarded when I tried to play my keyboard.
Went to the grocery store...
Boring day.
You're welcome.

Taylor is getting ready to leave. So I move from where i slept on the chair to his spot on the couch. Ahh...
2:34pm-
Wake up. Kind of get up. Everyone is gone except Austin and Caleb.
There's a box of coco Krispies in the kitchen.
Now i really want some chocolate cereal.
4:04pm-
Heading home from Austins. It's a great day here. I think what makes Brooklyn seem nicer is there isn't so many tall buildings so you get more sunshine.
12:24am-
Austin: "Everytime some says 'hey *sshole!' I look up... Like, yeah?"
"hello..?? Dad...?"
3:48am-
Sat down near the fireplace. Someone sat next to me.
"Is your name Zane...?"
"Yes.... Creeeepy..."
She apparently recognized me from an Eisley tour a few years ago..???
4:34am-
Austin: "Zane, drink some of this for me...?"
"Haha..! I think you got it. You can handle it."
"Zane... you know that I can not."
5:32am-
Everyone who gets off the train with me walks to the next train im taking. Suddenly they all start running..!!?!
Whew!!?!
Running through the train station to catch the next train.. What a rush!

"My idea of good company is the company of clever, well-informed people who have a great deal of conversation; that is what I call good company."
-Jane Austen
>>>We're doing a Shoot- a commercial for an A/C company from Jersey.
2:49pm-
An older man from the company: "I gotta twitter.. But, what am I gonna say..?? 'changing a circuit booaaard, tweeet!'"
4:02pm-
Matt directing a bigger, 'tough' guy: "ok, now could you use your hands when you talk.. Maybe something like this.."
"Whoa, man.. If I do that I'll lose my cred..! I won't be allowed back in my hood..!"
5:13pm-
Talking to Joe about doing sound:
Stacy: "Do you even know what you're doing..?!"
"Hey, sometimes shows have bad sound. That's gonna be every show I do."
11:11pm-
Austin: "Zane, could you look up the starwars theme song...?"
"Ok......?"
As soon as I play it Bob, the basset hound, starts howling.
I pause it.
He stops.
Unpause. Howls.
Pause.
Stops.
.....he waits..
Unpause hound.
2:58am-
Heading out of 'the dark room' two tall, blonde Europeans twins stop me, grab me by the beard and tell me how much they appreciate it.
I put my arms around their waists, thank them, and leave.
3:39pm-
Sitting in a booth near the door of union pool, on the way out a girl stops and says 'you're awesome. Remember that.' I guess I look sad..?
5:06am-
Back at Austins house with Taylor, Eric, Emily, Chris Cross and Greta.
And I'm making macaroni and cheese.

"I have always thought the actions of men the best interpreters of their thoughts."
~John Locke
8:00am-
Alarm goes off.
With out giving myself enough time to even think about it, I jump up and put some clothes on.
Ok! That's it! To late! I'm up! Hopefully this will disrupt the sleeping schedule that I've fallen into.
8:14pm-
Walk downstairs to go get some coffee from the little coffee truck on the corner.
Giant coffee (and good coffee) for $1.25. Cheaper than a small one from Starby.
3:01pm-
I show up at the studio; Neil says Austin just stepped out. But he keeps thinking he's me.
Apparently he got his hair cut the same. Ha... great.
3:17pm-
Austin comes in. And he does have a similar haircut. Like mine when it's short.
"I said, I want it short, but long on top. So she said ok and gave me the 'zane'."
5:49pm-
Neil to Austin: "K, see ya. I like your haircut. Well, i like Zane's haircut on your head."
6:34pm-
Getting ready to go I asked matt if I should come in tomorrow. Just to help out with whatever shoot was happening..
He said "Yes..! There's no budget, but you can put it on your resume. I'll make you an AD and you can take care of...." a lot of stuff.
8:16pm-
Did it.
Bought a MIDI controller keyrig. A tool to do what I want to do, better.
Pretty much a $99 49 key keyboard I can use to play any instrument from my computers software.
K..... Hope I'm not jumping the gun on this and can actually put it to good use.
[[Will post results eventually.]]

"Yeah..?? Good!"
"Yeah.. It's maybe.. Like.. Watermelon cake."
Almost 5pm-
After updating this and looking on craigslist for a cheap/used MIDI controller, I finally decide to leave this place.
7:09pm-
Korhan texts asking for some more DVDs. I hate this.
Eventually I put a menu together and open live type to add credits.
I don't really know what im doing though so by
8:49pm-
I take a break and take a nap.
1:10am-
Awake.
Now what......
What a terrible sleeping pattern I'm in.
I need to break it.

Sitting at a Starbucks.
A girl gives a little 3 year old boy an iced cookie treat, "Do you like it..?"
"it's delicious..!"
"Yeah..?? Good!"
"Yeah.. It's maybe.. Like.. Watermelon cake."

6:59am-
wake up. Not tired.
Why can I not get up..!?
10:03am-
Ahh... What a nice morning!
Sitting on the couch drinking some good coffee listening to new music, reading a magazine I took from the shoot the other day.
If only it was two hours earlier.
3:53pm-
Hanging out at the studio. An intern wants to rent a battery for his camera. Same as mine.
5:02pm-
Just made an easy $10.
9:58pm-
Nachos and gossip girl.
Gonna be a good night.
This is what my life has become...

Devendra Banhart - "I Feel Just Like a Child"
8:54am-
Going to do PA work at a shoot downtown. Joe told me about it. I won't get paid, but, free food. And PA is the easiest. Like hanging out.
You get what you pay for.
First time I stopped and got coffee from the truck on my corner. 75 cents. Not bad.
9:27am-
Text from Joe. Call time has been changed to 11.
....And I'm already down town.
12:24pm-
These guys have no idea what they're doing.
But, I knew that from the make shift call sheet.
But I didnt expect them to lose the keys to the van before we even got the first shot set up...!
3:39pm-
Joe coathangered the window and we found the keys in the van.
Just in time to leave, too.
3:55pm-
At the next location.
It's a very nice looking bar/restaurant. Closed so we can shoot. I guess.
4:25pm-
Hauling stuff from the van a block away.
We loaded up a huge dolly and let Zack push it across the street while we carried handfuls of other stuff.
I come out of the bar to go get more stuff and see Zack at the corner holding a plate of cheesecake and a fork while an old guy is maneuvering the dolly up the curb.
I walk up to him... "Well, how did THIS happen??!"
4:34pm-
Oh yeah, were left alone in a bar.
Ther director/producer pours a round of Jameson for everyone.
I tell Joe that if I've learned nothing else, I definitely remember Neil expressly saying to not let your crew drink on set. Just a bad idea.
(Unless youre part of the crew.)
4:41pm-
After shots, everyone grabs a free beer and gets back to setting up lights.
5pm - 10pm-
Yeah. Everyone is drunk. And trying to make a movie. Best shoot I've been on in a while.
7:43pm-
Make friends with two beautiful girls. They ask for my number. Not cause their into me, but because I talked to them for 30 minutes about the way pants fit their body types and why and now they really want to go shipping with me. Haha... Oh Zane...
10:58pm-
In the subway with Joe.
Some random people listening to a guitarist and upright bassist, "give em some change..!! It's America..!?!"
I toss my change in their case. "yeah.... ok. It's America!!"

Clint Mansell - "Death is the Road to Awe"
11:34pm-
Heading to the studio to play with the keyboard when no ones there.
2:34pm-
I only turned a few lamps on and kept the whole place very dimly lit on purpose. But now I'm here by myself and the elevator keeps opening and it's starting to get creepy here...
3:57pm-
Stopped by J&R to look at MIDI controller on my way to get some lunch. Accidentally spent 45 minutes looking at all their instruments.
If oh I had money...
To shy to play the electric drums this time.. Maybe I'll come back some other time.

So much for getting up and doing anything productive on my free weekend.
But, Noreen did just call.
And if we were ever 'together' before, we are officially 'not' anymore.
It's hard to explain that sometime I just hole away alone for days or weeks at a time. Don't mean it personally..
1:45am-
"Ding!"
That's the entirety of Johnny Quest... Getting it's wings.

((I guess I lost the last few days.. Must have skipped them.))
Phoenix - Lisztomania
11:24pm-
Head downtown to talk to my building owner about some business.
Feeling a little Chuck Bass about it all.
1:30pm - 1:45pm-
Meeting Stacy at the Onion. I try on some $800+ suit jackets at a really nice store across the street while I wait.
Acting like I'm rich, saying things like,
"This is nice. I like the lighter Spring colors, I just couldnt do this one. The salmon with my hair color..?? No, no. This won't do."
And
"Yes. This is a much better fit, still big in the chest. Could be taken in a little. And maybe shortened up a little here.."
Too much Gossip Girl.
2:35pm-
Stacy says she hungry.
"Me too. I just don't feel like spending money."
"Me neither."
"I've got an idea.. How about one of us spends money and we both eat...??! Then at least one person is happy?!"
"Umm...."
"Thanks, Stacy! That was a generous offer...!"
-how I got a free sandwich from subway.
4:06pm-
Finally got the key board thing to work with the computer in my new office. Hooked it up to garage band and I can use it as buttons for drums and guitars and, more importantly, finally have a way to put together my own string arrangement...!
Excited to figure it out!
Thinking about coming to the studio tomorrow to play around...
4:29pm-
Everyones half asleep waiting for the train.
A loud this and everyone looks up.
Someone fell into the tracks...?!
Everyone runs over and helps pull him out. They encourage him and make sure he moves and call an ambulance and stay by him.
4:34am-
They get him a seat and even offer tissues and water to clean a bad cut on his hand. Someone, don't know of they know him or not, cleans his hand.

7:57pm-
Everyone is talking about being tested and always afraid they have aids.
I'm so glad I'm not a part of that world.

"Huh... What... Did I knock you out of the bed??"
"What?? Haha..! No.. Just, it's almost 11. We should go soon."
"K.. oh, hey!"
"Yeah....?"
"Umm.. Yeah.. Uh.. Nevermind."
8:04pm-
I always get nervous when I'm paying for groceries with this card..
Like somethings not gonna work right.
8:11pm-
Now, five blocks through the ghetto, and up four flights of stairs with 50 pounds of groceries..
But I got all the makings of some great nachos..!
Can't wait!

"Mmhk, good luck, buddy..."
2:19pm-
After pacing the living room for 15 minutes saying he's about to go to the studio but really doesn't want to, Austin stops and turns around.
"Not doing it. Let's go to the park."
And so we did.
8:54pm-
Noreen comes over.
I'm feeling weird.
Not talky.
We find a place to eat in my neighborhood.
9:49pm-
Austin went ahead and bought a small bag of dried fish, minnows, from the Mexican bodega down stairs that we saw last time.
Smells like fish food.
Noreen and I watched as he eats one.
And then gag and spit it out and spends the next ten minutes in the bathroom..
10:34pm-
Noreen has to go home, but Alex may come here from the airport.

Sex Bob-omb - "We Are Sex Bob-omb"
12:12pm-
Woke up.
I remember going to sleep on the couch watching Austin and that girl, Jessica I believe, smoke cigarettes on the window sill.
And then Austin kind of tucking me in bed.
Haaaa... Ooohh Austin.
Taking care of people.
2:39pm-
Me: "Do you think renea Zelwiger is pretty...?"
Stacy: "I think she's hideous. She looks like a fish...! I wanna feed her flakes."
7:21pm-
Phone call:
Shay: "Ok, see you later. God be with you. Godspeed. In God we trust. E Pluribus Unum."
11:23pm-
Got an email saying that the B-unit, the one I would have been with, was to "stand down". Location problems.
I like doing wardrobe for the Onion, but I was very over joyed to get this news.
We celebrate and put on Scott Pilgrim.
5:29am-
Austin burnt popcorn.
The kitchen was filled with smoke and even though that was almost an hour ago, I'm still gagging from the smell.

Kings of Leon - "Radioactive"
12:39pm-
For a drug scene:
"Any one have any powdered sugar...?"
"Nope.. Just all this coke."
6:50pm-
Austin is coming over. The plan is to go over the script and story boards and really get this next thing ready to shoot.
7:08pm-
In the subway.
A doo wap group starts.
I give em a minute, then turn to Austin and try to think of something fitting to explain. But before I could, he says "eh.. not great."
Exactly.
7:41pm-
Showed Austin my new favorite band at the moment, the Arctic Monkeys, whom a lot of my song inspiration is coming from for our new band.
He likes em.
So that's good.
9:41pm-
Austin: "Is this still.. jammy jam and the hooligans..?"
9:42pm-
"Oh my god, Zane. It's only 9:42..."
"And were sitting here in my living room. Filming each other.."
"Hahaha!! We are literally sitting here filming each other..!?"
10:50pm-
"And, right here, you have to look real close, is the scar from a car wreck.. So, there's MY street cred."
"Oh, what, did a pebble cut your finger..??"
2:07am-
Wanted to flip someones table over.
An annoying chinese guy telling me to "go sit down". I was one inch from flipping his table over in the most polite way.
The bouncer saw what was up and came over and helped me out. So I didn't.
I've never been kicked out of a place before.
Hopefully one day, though.
3:05pm-
Some guys asked a girl who's hanging out with us to to take their picture.
Me: "I'm gonna be in this picture."
Austin: "I know you are."
And so it was.

"Charlie brown. I know."

10:56pm-
A big, fat, gross, ugly man with a chipped tooth walks up to me while I'm sitting in the subway waiting for the train with Noreen, stands in front of me and says "are you gay?".
I don't look especially gay tonight.
"No."
"Oh. Ok."
"Now get away from me."

Noreen: "Ok. I'm the next stop. Better cherish me."
Hahaha!!

Saturday
Phoenix - "Fences"
:::Didn't take any notes. Didn't feel like it...
Summary?
Allison and I met up at Metro North Station at scary 125th where it was freezing and soooo windy.
We took that train to way up state, heading to Neils birthday party.
Met up with Matt, Stacy and George. And that's who we were with the whole time.
After 11 the open bar wasn't open anymore.
So everyone was moved down stairs to the real bar.
No one in the whole bar was attractive at all.
But a lot of them thought they were.
I hung out with Stacy and Allison while we were down there.
Then Matt and Stacy gave us (Allison, George and I) a ride back to manhattan.
George wanted to go karaoking. So allison and I, though we just wanted to go home, agreed to go with him.
Karaoke to full, we went to a dive bar and after two pitchers of piss beer, went to get some pizza and go home. Finally.
::::Notes in no specific order:
-Searched and finally found the fur that went around shays coat.
And then wore it.
Sometimes I wear fur now.
-Had awkward conversations with Allison on the long train ride to upstate.
-Talked to Stacy about girls. "how do you know you're gonna marry her..??"
"I don't. I just feel like I am."
"Hmm.."
"Oh...! What are the odds. Look who just texted."
-Drank a lot through out the night.
Nothing.
-Austin was supposed to go to the party too but couldn't make it last minute.

Friday
5:47am-
At the Onion.
Waiting with a few others to to load up and go to location.
Stacy gets here.
"When you're waking up at 4:45 in the morning you have to think, somewhere down the line, you made a bad decision or two.."
::::drove an hour out to Yonkers. Now back in the city, in Harlem, in a neighborhood that has a school on the street and feels kind of old school Sesame Street. :::::
1:08pm-
Since I happen to have a walkie outside, I real quick got the job of 'person who says GO and then relays what the director is saying to the person acting' person.
1:14pm-
Stacy: "Was that guy this morning a real cop...?"
Seth (casting guy): "Yup."
Stacy: "So, was that a real gun..?"
Seth: "Umm.. Yup. Probably.
Wait...He had a gun?!"
1:21pm-
Lunch time. Place your orders.
Almost got 'jerked snapper.' turtle..??
2:28pm-
Picked up an older lady to portray a cop later today. (Old ladies really like to talk. About themselves...)
"...and one time I saw a police women who looked a lot like me. She was very attractive and had these very long finger nails....."
Hah.
3 and on-
It's not funny anymore.
Older cop lady is so annoying.
Get me away from her.
5:34pm-
As soon as we all got in the van, Matt, the Line Producer, turned in his seat and said, "Zane. You know that lady, in the cop uniform.. ok. Well she was saying....-"
A long funny conversation started from there.
7:14pm-
Fell asleep on the way back to the city.
Woke up to hear the directors joking about some of the bad actors they had to deal with...
"Ok, why don't you try it like.. Ok, imagine if you were a good actress. Now do it like that."
"Try it like, if you were the kind of actress that did a lot of jobs. Because you didn't suck. Try it like if you were an actress that didn't suck."
"Maybe, pretend, or ACT, like you have emotions. And then used them."
Haha...

Fun. - "Be Calm"
12:53pm-
The 'Scanners tribute video' we made is getting hits on YouTube and even appearing on random twitter feeds and horror news blogs.
Wish it was a little more... Better.
DISCLAIMER:
Austin and I were just IN it. Didn't actually help write, set, shoot, or cut it.
2:49pm-
Stacy: "how long do you have to breast feed?"
Me: "I don't know...? Nine months...? The longer the better."
"Says who??!"
"I don't know... Psychologists..?!!?"
"No... I will for a few months. That's it."
"Why?!"
"I don't want a baby hanging off my tit!!?"
3:11pm-
Weston said theyre passing NY and waving and sent this video to me.
Love those guys...
10:02pm-
Left work with a weird, anxious feeling. Listening to the song Be Calm really helped though.
So I went home and spent a while learning how to play it.

Arctic Monkeys - "Dancing Shoes"
8:58am-
Text from Stacy:
"Let's meet at 11 - I'm looking at my list and there's really not all that much."
I'm fine with that.
11:23am-
I wake up.
Bahh!!?
12:55pm-
Woman behind me in line to sone other girl: "did you check that 50% off table..??? That perfume?
What is it?
All of it? It's ALL Paris Hilton?
Oh, and Brittany spears. Well, I guess that's why it's on that table."
1:11pm-
The lady checking out my return looks so much like Ursula from the Little Mermaid...
She has a lot of china and her make up is for some reason very blue.....!?
Maybe even a 'beauty mark' in the same place..
Creeepy...
1:19pm-
Grand Central Station has a big CyberCrime display.
I saw myself walking trough the lobby on a big hanging globe.
I looked pretty good.
4:34pm-
Sat down at the studio with a Burger King bag, talking to Jeremy.
Jeremy: "..Maybe I'll go home and take a nap. Wondering how long it would take me to fall asleep. I didn't really get a lot of sleep last night. And I don't know why. Zane, do you happen to have fries in that bag??"
"Haha!! I do. May I offer you some?"
6:57pm-
I come back to the studio with a Islamic tunic (for the Onion wardrobe) and show Stacy.
She asks Neil to try it on to see if it would fit..
He puts it on and then turns around to face us, throws his hands in the air and in a middle eastern accent shouts "HEELLOOOO!! WELCOME! WELCOME!"
And says numerous other funny Things....
I guess you'll just have to trust me.
Then put his leather jacket on over the tunic and pops the collar and, still in an accent, says some lines from an Elvis song.

7:52pm - 9:53pm-
I made a reservation at a place.

The Strokes - "You Only Live Once"
11:57am-
Jeremy: "Umm... Zane, since you recently dressed a paraplegic that makes you the most qualified to help me.... I need to put a band-aid on my back...."
"hahaha!!! sure, buddy.."
>> So.... There's been a whole lot of talk about Justin Massler in our office lately. It's jeremys brother and he is a fugitive running from the law at the moment for stalking Ivanka Trump.
He helped Red Line make 'The Eyes of the Mothman' documentary which is about the mothman, aliens, and curses.
Anyway, yesterday he sent us a video of himself claiming that the aliens made him do it, etc..
So we put it online to help push 'Mothman' which is coming out on dvd in a few weeks. (Those were his intentions for the video.) Then we sent a few press releases about the situation and watched the fire grow.
From there, the video has been showing up on multiple gossip sights like TMZ and other sites and even has a conversation going with Perez Hilton.
Today we found that he did a photo shoot with a famous photographer yesterday, too.
The video on the gossip blogs:
12:27pm-
Jeremy got a call from a prison. They have his brother.
He was trying to figure out how to set up an account to accept the collect call but Austin was talking.
"Could you be quiet..."
"You can go into the other room if you need."
"My brother is in jail and I'm trying to follow the directions to take this call so if you could just be quiet..!!"
"Sorry.... You can go in--"
"SHUT UP!!"
that's the point were I start cracking up as quietly as possible! Hahaha!!!
Jeremy being harsh is so... Funny!?!
2:15pm-
Austin to Stacy: "Now that I don't have to be at work every day I can go out and make some money."
:::Austin had to run to the studio cause matt and Stacy didn't have a key to the elevator:::
11:09pm-
I walked into the studio and fell into my place at my desk. Austin handed me a giant beer.
11:11pm-
Sean: "...And I was telling some funny jokes."
Austin: "Sean, you were drunk. And very obviously so."
11:25pm-
Sean: "does this look better?"
"no..! It looks like you spilled beer all over your pants and then steamed it!?"
(which is what happened.)
11:27pm-
"Sean, you shouldn't have had that shot of whiskey before we left.."
"I didn't. That was you."
"Oh. Yeah."
11:29pm-
In the green screen studio-
Austin: "Where are the cameras? Oh, there it is. And it's pointing that. Ok. Were in play. Were in play, Zane."
12:10am-
About to leave the studio, but first we all sat in silence with our eyes closed and listened to a song-
To get the right feel of the moment, take three sips of brandy out of a flask, drink 24 ounces of beer, then listen to Colly Strings by the Manchester Orchastra.
>>> we met up with Allye, Dan and Noreen and had a night to busy to keep track of.

Austin: "Where are the cameras? Oh, there it is. And it's pointing that. Ok. Were in play. Were in play, Zane."
12:10am-
About to leave the studio, but first we all sat in silence with our eyes closed and listened to a song-
To get the right feel of the moment, take three sips of brandy out of a flask, drink 24 ounces of beer, then listen to Colly Strings by the Manchester Orchastra.
>>> we met up with Allye, Dan and Noreen and had a night to busy to keep track of.

Thursday
Kings of Leon - "King of the Rodeo"
10:14am-
Austin and I go get coffee. He tells me about the detectives that came in the office the other day.
About how he gave them the run-around.
Me: "They're detectives. They're not like cops. You can lie."
"Yeah, they expect it. They love that. They love the back and forth."
8:14pm-
I have a weird OCD thing where I always check my fly before I leave the dressing room.
Then again, I almost always try to put my shoes on and forget about my pants...!?
8:26pm-
WHOA!?!
Good thing!?!!!
My fly was actually down this time!!?!
8:28pm-
A rare thing!
At Urban I found a pair of my standard black jeans, some khaki jeans and even the ever allusive BLUE jeans that actually fit right, all in my size!
I totaled it up in my head-
$198. Ok.
Cashier: "Wish I was you... Levis for 5 bucks..."
"What...??? Why???"
"Who cares!? They're $5!"
Khaki jeans were for some reason $4.99!!!?!!?
I wish I had someone to share my excitement with.......!?
Where's shay!!??!

Blonde Redhead - "Luv Machine"
7:14am-
Arrive at the onion. I'm a little early.
No one else is even here yet.
8:11am-
Text from Stacy:
"How's it going?"
"Well, I just assumed that everyone wouldn't bring what they needed and I would have to find something for them.
So everything is going just how I planned."
"What?!"
9:41am-
Casting director walks into wardrobe:
"Just a heads up, Jill is next and she'll be here at about noon."
"Ok. Sounds good."
"Oh, also, I booked an Asian school girl last night--"
"AAAWWLLL RIIIGGGHHT!!!
oh... You mean for... Ok. Nevermind.."
He got the joke.
10:52am-
Talking to hair/make up girl. Apparently she works at Union Pool!
(((Rondi.)))
"We go there all the time..!"
4:40pm-
Rondi: "I follow this blog all about nail polish, and this girl had painted like tie-dye on her nails. It was crazy."
"Sounds like someone has to much time.
.......on her hands.
..get it.."
7:28pm-
Oh, just dressing people to look like Shaggy, Velma, Daphne and Freddie.
Coming out good!
7:48pm-
The director of this piece just informed us that they shouldn't look exACTly like them. Just like a modern version of them if they worked in an office.
Buh.
This would have been good to know before we ran around shopping for things we didn't need.
8:17pm-
The Production Manager, Max, was cast as Freddie because they didnt have anyone else to do it.
We put the ascot on Max while he was working just to see it on him.
Rondi: "dont tell him he doesn't have to wear it."
8:28pm-
End result was a success. Everyone in at the Onion shoot gathered around to watch and laugh.
2:11am-
On my way to Brooklyn- not because I want to be, but because were bringing the gear back in the morning and it takes both of us- and a drunk and/or high guy stops and talks to me for a while on the subway platform.
Starts off about being a Ginger. "wow...! Your beard is really showing it!! Can you see it in mine..?? I'm a day walker. You can't really tell except when I have a little beard going..."
2:35am-
The train finally comes.
"Ok, well, I'm gonna smoke a bowl inside this car. You don't wanna be near me. Seriously. But it was good meeting you."
He runs off to the other side of the car and sticks his head back in long enough to holler, "GINGERS FOREVER!"
Nice enough guy.
Glad he's gone.
2:51am-
The guy runs through the car, from one car-to-car door and leaves through the other end door yelling "GINGERS FOREVER!" as he passes me.
3:08am-
Finally at Austins.
He's not answering his phone.
Or his door.
I knock louder and louder.
Someone across the hall opens the door and asks if I need to use their phone.
Buuhhh....
3:17am-
I go back and knock on the back door, near their rooms. I hear movement.
Finally someone on the other side of the door says, 'helloo....???'
'hey... It's me, Zane...!'
Caleb opens the door.
'Oh hey..!? I heard the knocking but I just kept trying to tell myself it was something else. Like people doing it on a different floor or something...'
We walk inside and we wake Austin up. He's asleep on the couch. RIGHT by the front door.
Austin: "Oh.. hey......
........wanna have cigarette..?"

David Cronenberg film - "Scanners"
5:36pm-
Doing voice over work with tim for the scanners tribute short we made because the camera messed up (he messed up) and audio didn't record.
7:39pm-
Left the studio.
Austin and matt have been talking in the office all day.
Then Austin and I had a short talk about what they were talking about:
Pretty much, we were offered a job as essentially a desk person for the studio. To do what we pretty much do now except with pay. Only, we'd have to be at the studio EVERY DAY to do it. So we wouldnt be able to do shoots and other things like that.
Matt made it clear with Austin, who made it clear to me, that this is not recommended.
The other thing was:
Tim was moving. He would still have his office at Red Line, but would be there much less and was looking to rent it out.
First offer goes to Austin and I.
$300 a month.
$150 each.
We would have full access to all the hardware and software that Tim has (which is a lot) plus the Red Line gear (light + grip), we would still be a part of Red Line and have first dibs on jobs that they did, aaand be able to move about freely, not having to come in at certain times each day, but rather whenever we wanted to.
hhmm......

Monday
Reverend Vince:
This is just one of his songs. They all have such a good, comforting feel no matter what he sings about.
12:27pm-
Austin: "And i just don't see myself as someone who would do that. Be the public urinator. But... Chris was telling me the whole thing in detail and humor."
2:09pm-
Someone named Alison walked into the studio.
A friend of Matt and Neils who I met at the wedding.
Austin: "Oh... Did I mention Alison was coming here to meet with us about her audition tape were going to record....?"
"No. You didn't."
5:41pm - 6:35pm-
We set up lights and camera in the studio to prepare for when Matt and Neil go to Kentucky to interview Dave Evans.
I was the test subject and got interviewed.
Hopefully I'll get that footage to see how it turned out.
6:54pm-
Austin: "To be honest, I'm not really a big fan of The Terminator."
Neil: "Well we know. It's kind of more of a... Man.. Thing."
12:21am-
"..And I said to myself, 'self, I'm done with this shit. I've got Jesus in my head, and I don't need this.'"
Reverend Vince
2:31am-
Upon leaving the bar Austin gave me his keys and then detailed instructions as to where the potato bread was.
"Bottom of the rack. The metal rack. Right of the stove. ....Left of the fridge."
And the buffalo chicken.
And then miracle whip.
And jack Daniels mustard.
And sharp cheddar. .
So I did what he said and went to his house and made a sandwich.
A double decker, layered, club sandwich.
"..and then there's some apple juice in the fridge. And I'd be lying if i said you couldn't have any."

Listening to: Fleet Foxes - "Meadow Lark"
Today is somber as well..
Dont feel like doing anything..
9:05pm-
At a superbowl party at Noreen and Allyes listening to people talk about the bible and church.
These are conversations I'm afraid to join because... buh...! Do you even know what you're talking about...!?!?
11:15pm-
Shay gets here right as Noreen, Allye and Daniel and I start playing speed scrabble.
He joins in the next game and wins every one until we stop playing.
He's a quick one.
-
Someone said I sometimes seem crazy.
I told her the story of why I sometimes feel like I might be too...
Then I fought her.
And pinned her down.
And smothered her with a pillow.

Somber...
Grave...
Heavy with thought.
10:56am-
Woke up in the Penn Plaza. Its a really nice big hotel across from madison square garden.
12:54pm-
Austin, chris and I are in the elevator heading down and Austin breaks the silence with the most cartoon sounding fart.
Very childish, but we all start cracking up.
5:55pm-
Noreen and I sit on the floor while the rain pours outside and listen to a few Velvet Underground songs cause I've never heard any.
Good Vibe to it...
Good feeling right now.
6:07pm - 6:09pm-
We were some how talking about Disney movies and her favorite is The Little Mermaid.
And she explains why:
Noreen: "When i was little, about 7 or 8, my family went to the beach. Right when i got there i saw this boulder that was half sticking out of the water, just like the one in the little mermaid. Ya know, when she sings the song and then jumps on the rock and waves splash all around her..
So, i went out there and climbed up on the rock. I sat on the top of it, just like she did. I started singing *aahh ah aahh.. ah aahh aah....*
And then, in the middle of my song a huge wave came and smashed my face into the rock!!
There was blood everywhere and i just remember running through the sand, my hands on my chin, crying and screaming and running. But i didnt know where i was running because, and i remember this image vividly, i couldnt stop staring at the blood dripping in the sand...
But then my dad snatched me up and he took me to the Hospital.
7 stiches....."
Me: ".....AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAHAHhahahahahaaaahahaha!!!!!!!!"
10:35pm-
Allye: "how do you know when the scones are done??"
Me: "Tooth pick it."
Noreen: "Ooh, scones..! I have some jam too..!"
Dan: "....how do you use jam to tell if scones are done..?!?"
Hahaha!!

"Finally someone I can relate to!!"

Austin is in the front of the cab talking to the driver:
"Look a that... Drunks. See, it's those kinds of people that are ruining this city."
2:26am-
At some bar where everyone is dancing.
After a while of watching the crowd and sizing things up, i go up to a black woman who had the biggest (best) ass in the bar and asked her to dance.
She did.
"Ok... I'm just following you! Teach me some moves...!"
2:99am-
Austin, laughing hysterically, leans over to me:
"Go dance some more...!"
I look around... "Ok. That 5."
"5? What..?"

So that's good.
3:45pm-
Matt: "I hate stevo."
"Why?"
"Cause I got in a fight with him."
"Like, a real fistfight???"
"Almost. He was just drunk and all messed up on drugs and being an ***hole."
7:42pm-
Girl on the subway platform near me is listening to headphones and just started wrapping.
She's not drunk and knows that we can hear her.
This is when I need a 'get off the stage' buzzer.
11:34pm-
At 8:15 I laid down to take a 20 minute nap. Just woke up.
So tired.
Going to bed.

Trains were a mess.
It's raining ice and water.
I'm glad I left early. And got to the set early.

Just passed a big, chubby red headed Irish looking guy dressed in a loin cloth and fur cloak.
That's what happens when youre walking around in Screen Gems.
"Capital one commercial?"
"Probably."
2:02pm-
Go back into Screen Gems after going out to get something and it's super crowded.
Full of Rachel Ray audience.
9:41pm-
Finally almost home.
Its been an exhausting 13 hour day..
Walking past a trail of Nutter Butter wrappers spread out through the subway..
11:31pm-
Noreen makes the trek this time.
Were trying to decide what movie to watch and she asks if I can be serious for 5 minutes..!?
"Ok.. But not consecutively."
Wednesday
Listening to: Hot Chip - "Out At the Pictures"
6:41am-
To early.
Step outside. Everything looks greasy cause of the smooth layer of ice over it.
7:44am-
Trains were a mess.
It's raining ice and water.
I'm glad I left early. And got to the set early.
8:01am-
Stacy still not here.
Someone from the Onion calls my phone asking if I'm filling in for her and where i was.
I said I'm here!
8:09am-
I'm trying to figure out what goes on who and pretending to know what I'm doing.
I do ok for a little bit and right before i get lost, Stacy shows up. whew..

Tuesday
Listening to: MGMT - "Time to Pretend"
1:34pm-
Stacy comes in the studio. Tells me she wants me to come to the shoot tomorrow.
At Screen Gems studio.
At 8am.
11:55pm-
Shay comes back from the corner store with ice cream sandwiches and ice cream twix.
He sets the bag down and i try to grab it with my feet but he snatches it away.
"No..! No, monkey boy! Bad. I'll take your bananas away...!"
12:00am-
I asked shay a question.
"Do you think I can pay attention to you right now..?! I'm playing a game! A game I am losing flatulently!!"
12:01am-
"want your other thing?"
"Nah. Not right now."
"See, I thought I didn't either, but I was left wanting. Wanting a twix!"

Monday
Listening to: Blind Pilot - "Oviedo"
10:39am - 11:14am-
Stacy comes into the office and we start off talking about RITE, the movie she saw the other night about an exorcist. Then we got into an extensive conversation about demon possession in her family and curses and soap under cherry trees with pins in them....?! It was the most frightening thing I've ever heard.
11:45am-
Austin comes in the office:
"Well, Stacy, I've got some pictures that might cheer you up...."
I realize what he's talking about.
"Nooo..... Those are just gonna make her sick."
2:31pm-
Shay came by the studio to get some DVDs I was trying to make for his dance choreographer.
Weird that I'm mixing these worlds.
2:46pm-
"You can use the wifi here."
"Ok. Cheat me in. Brodog me into the system."
8:41pm-
Austin leaves the studio.
"Alright. See ya later buddy."
8:46pm-
I leave the studio.
Austin is standing right outside smoking a cigarette.
"Oh, hey there buddy...!"
We walk to the train.
I keep walking to go to the store and we part ways again.
8:51pm-
I walk to the stairs to the subway and Austin is still standing outside.
On the phone now.
I walk past, "this is just getting awkward now."
8:55pm-
Austin walks down into the subway and stands near by on the platform.
We don't say anything.
11:11pm-
Heading to Brooklyn to hangout with Austin for a little bit but the trains are taking so long cause they're preparing for the blizzard tomorrow.
I call Austin and tell him I'm not gonna make it and go to Noreen's instead.
2:53am-
We had a long talk.
Apparently I was stopping, or, holding back from her, emotionally, (which I knew I was) but I didn't change things physically.
Which, even though we don't DO anything, made it look like I was only after one thing. Which is NOT the type of guy I want to be.
But I was. Holding back. Withdrawing even. I had recently become afraid of being too sweet or romantic or thoughtful in fear she would like me more. Because I didn't know if I wanted that.
But I didn't slow things down physically because i didn't want her to know I was feeling that way.
But I forgot that girls are perceptive of emotional vibes and energy and stuff.
She too, had recently seemed closed off. And that's why.
I hadn't been talking much lately in the last few days, and she was feeling..... 'empty'. My words, not hers.
I explained love languages...
I've been spending TIME with her. So to me, things were fine. I was showing her how i felt by spending time.
We did things.
But I didn't TELL her how I felt. And that was her language.
I went on:
"See how I have my hands in your hair..? I've been twirling it in my fingers all night..? That's me saying 'i love your hair! I wanna touch it and feel it and I think it's great..!' but to you, it's just me saying 'my hands are bored.' now if I translate physically twirling your hair into YOUR language it would be me SAYING 'i think your hair looks really great tonight. It's thick and curly and I want to touch it..!'
I knew her language now.
But im still afraid to use it....

Sunday
Listening to: Beulah - "Score From Augusta"
Phone dead.
No idea what time it is:
Woke up as people started coming out of rooms.
Met some new roommates.
Sarah, I think.
Spent the morning walking around Brooklyn. What a great day!
Warm sun shining down; the snow is white and soft; an over all good crisp feel to the day.
Austin and I head to meet Caleb at a bagel place.
Coffee would really put this great morning over the edge.
Sitting around at Austin house doing nothing. I'm playing with a classical guitar thats really great at sounding haunting and Austin is very busy with a little project he started of taking the head off of an ET toy, twisting paper to look like guts, stuffing them in the neck and then melting red wax on the whole thing. Turning out to be pretty cool.
4:54pm-
"So... What's the plan...? We kind of just.. Flattened the whole day.."
"We did.. Seems like we gave up on today."
"Yeah. I mean, Im wearing these damn house slippers for crying out loud."
"Yeeaah, i was gonna mention that..."
6:59pm-
At guitar center:
"Y'all closed..?"
"Yeah. Well in one minute."
"That's all I'll need..!"
Whew!
7:19pm-
I was totally ready to go home and make some egg sandwiches. Pepper jack cheese, mayonnaise, salt, pepper... Mmm...
But the I walked passed a taco bell... Thought long and hard...
Eggs another night.
7:32pm-
On the way out of the subway I noticed a guy holding a paper that I recognized from Redeemer church.
I thought that was cool that he lived in the same area I did.
He got off on the same side of the street as me.
I walked up to the door and he was right behind me. He lives in the same building!
I take this time to start a conversation and mentioned that I saw he just came from Redeemer. We talked while we walked up the stairs.
He stopped at the fourth floor. My floor.
He went to his door, which was right across from mine..!?
Were neighbors..!
What are the odds!

Saturday
Listening to: Built to Spill - "Goin' Against Your Mind"
12:44pm-
Texts:
Austin: "Hey."
Me: "Hey. Running late. When you thinking of heading to the studio?"
"Whenever. Does running late mean you just woke up?"
"Yeah..."
"I'm running late too, then."
3:14pm-
Finally meet up with Austin at union square. (it was supposed to be closer to 1..)
Were shooting a short, Bereft, today.
First stop- Rickys for blood and a knife.
4:35pm-
At the studio pulling out gear. We realized we need an adapter to hook the mic to the camera.
There aren't any at the studio but I own one.
Looks like I'm going home to get it. Along with extra memory cards and camera batteries.
5:23pm-
Text from Austin:
"Also, bring some sheets if you got em..!"
7:01pm-
I'm back at the studio walking around in the green screen studio waiting for a cab we called to get here.
My knees go weak and I crumble to the floor...
I left it.
The main thing I went to get I LEFT..?!
DAAAANMMNNNN!!!!!!!!
6:48pm-
I call shay. Obviously he doesn't want to get out into this weather and travel all the way to Brooklyn...
6:58pm-
No other options.. I call shay back and after a little more convincing, I got shay to agree to go home (from chris') and get the cable and bring it to brooklyn.
All for the price of a snickers.
Whew. Austin and I sighed a sigh of relief.
7:41pm-
Finally got an SUV cab to stop.
I always feel like we trick them.. They stop thinking we just need a cab ride and once they agree we start folding down seats and loading in all our bulky gear.
They probly make a note to never again stop for people on this corner.
Pretty soon they'll all know what's up and there won't be any cabs left to trick..
10:21pm-
Austin: "Is it time to shoot this?"
11:32pm-
After we dressed the set, set up lights, talked over the shots and how to get them, we realized we don't have a XLR cable, so were working with 1 foot of cable attached to the boom pole.
11:43pm-
And we can't even get the sound to work anyway.*
After a lot of research and trying other options we call it a night.
"We've worn ourselves out all day being producers.."
"True. We should produce all day one day and make sure things work. Like sound. And then when we have all the gear and everything ready, we wake up the next day and change modes. And that we can just....."
"Be artists. Creators. And not have to worry if technical things are gonna work."
*We couldn't just 'not get sound to work'. We actually had a dynamic mic which requires Phantom power which our cameras don't provide.
We'll need to get a battery powered mixer to run through or find a good quality condenser mic.
12:02am-
Austin gives Sean and I a shot of Calebs cheap, gross whiskey.
Not because we want it.
12:07am-
"How you feeling Zane?"
"Kinda sick from that terrible shot."
"Yeah. That's why I don't do it."
12:08am-
"Are you going back to Harlem tonight?"
"Can we not call it hawwrlmb...."
"Are you a little drunk....???!"
"YOOU did this to me...!!"
3:5:55am - 4:14am-
At alex and her roommate Rachels place.
I tried on a few of Alexs sweaters.
And then a few pairs of her pants.
Showed them off to Austin and Rachel.
Eventually ended up in just a beaded Asian robe Alex told me to wear.
I don't know what they thought about my outfits cause they wouldn't stop laughing... But I thought I looked great.
We you don't live in a house with a dress up box, you have to make do.
4:21am-
Austin and I.
On the balcony in our underwear.
It's snowing.
If you were to take this all out of context and not explain how this happened, this situation might seem a little silly..
But it wasnt. More... serene.
4:33am-
Sitting in a chair in the living room by myself at Alexs place looking at a bankys book about to go to sleep on the couch.
A guy walks out of another bedroom, naked.
He sees me: "whoa...!! Hmm... Kinda weird."
"Yup. kinda wierd" I repeat.

Friday
Listening to: Clint Mansell - "Holy Dread!"
2:21pm-
I think I've decide:
I'm going to start some bands. A fun band, where I record all the tracks and then make videos with cardboard instruments. And then also a completely different sound- more like film scores of eerie but well composed music.
2:41pm-
Matt: "I'm going to get some food. You won't something?"
Stacy: "....yeah... Get me... A cheese dandwhich."
Matt just stares at her.
"WHAAT????"
Matt: "Nothing.. That's just.. stupid.
.....I don't think you understand the point of eating."
6:48pm-
Jeremy: "I'm not gonna put your name in the blog after all. I'll just put 'our graphic designer...' Just throwing your name in there might be a little left field. People who don't know you will be like 'who is this Zane character...? Where's he coming from??"
Shelly: "But, who doesn't know Zaaaane..???"
Me: "Who doesn't knoow Zaaaane....??"
Jeremy: "Well, up until about a week ago, I didn't know him."
Me and Shelly: "BUT... You do now....!"
Me: "You do now. One more person off my list."
7:08pm-
Took a sip from my flask.
Gaughkk..
9:47pm-
Courtney fed me brussell sprouts.
I love them!
11:41pm-
Courtney let me buy her dinner so l let her make me some kind of hot spiced cider bourbon drink.
It tasted like you always want potpourri to to taste.
She's kind of a specialty beer and bourbon connoisseur.
1:34am-
Now to meet Allye and Noreen at a swing place..?
2:09am-
As soon as I walk into Sessions 73 I get grabbed by Allye and Genni and spun all around on the dance floor.
Some guys are playing live music. Mostly covers of 80's songs. Led Zepplin, Journey, etc..
It was good!
Reminded me of dad.
2:55am-
Bar fight..!
First one I've ever seen.
Exciting!

Listening to: Arctic Monkeys - "Brainstorm"
9:08am-
Text from Austin:
"Communication."
10:31am-
Good thing this apartment door opens inward. I'm one of the first people to leave and there's a wall of snow about 8 inches tall climbing up the door.
But wow....! What a beautiful day....!
It's lightly snowing, sun shining, weather isn't thaaat cold and there's about of foot of snow covering everything...!
I love tromping through snow.
11:10am-
Oh. No ones at the studio yet....!
No one knows I was late at all.
1:01pm-
Matt talking about his childhood: "..It didnt seem like much then, but when I think back, we did horrible things..!? Everything just escalates into terrible... Like we would start off like 'let's roll these pumpkins into the street.' and it would somehow get to 'let's set this house on fire.' and there we are with a can of gasoline and matches...!?
1:41pm-
The other day Matt noticed a Photoshop thing I was putting together and commented on it.
Now he and Stacy keep giving me different projects and logos to make for things.
eh.. It's something to do.
3:31pm-
The paper shredder is jammed. The bucket inside it is stuck. It finally came down to 3 people, Austin, Jeremy and I, all on the floor with our hands on this thing trying to yank the bucket out.
Matt walks in and sees the scene, "This should be on our blog."
3:36pm-
Matt, frustrated by the whole thing, picks it up by the handle and just starts kicking it. Austin and I try to grab the sides while he's thrashing it around.
We get the sides and it starts to come loose. He finally yanks it out and there's an explosion of paper shreds.
8:11pm-
Filled my flask with brandy.
I'm to afraid to actually drink it in public any where, but just having it makes me feel like Muff Potter (from Tom and Huck).
8:31pm-
Courtney randomly texted and said it's time to hang out. We made plans for tomorrow night. Short notice.
Which is good cause I miss Courtney and haven't seen her in so long... But... is it just me, or could this be the tiniest bit suspicious....
Great... Now I'm afraid I'm gonna be paranoid about getting robbed by some drug dealers that are holding her hostage......!?
8:59pm-
Meet Shay and Brenden at some cafe near Steps. I sit down an listen to Brenden start talking about drama stuff.
I'm instantly bored out of my mind.
I always wondered what it was, why I get quiet sometimes... And I think, sometimes, it's because I'm trapped in a mind numbingly boring situation.
This is making me nauseous at how annoyingly boring it is....
9:58pm-
At Steps, Shays dance place, watching him and Korhan rehearse a dance.
I feel so weird.. Like I'm in a bad/booooorring movie..
The music is lame.
The atmosphere is lame.
I can't put my finger on exactly what it is though..
People think they can make up any piece of movement and call it dance. And call it art.
10:00pm-
They called a girl to come in and watch.
10:11pm-
The dance is over.
Korhan asks the girl, "what are your thoughts?"
Long pause....
"......very................... Powerful. "
Generic.
Then we listen as she awkwardly tries to make something inspirational up on the spot.
10:13pm-
Buuhhh.... She's still talking.... And she has no idea what she's even saying....
If I was the type to get awkward I would feel so uncomfortable right now. But listening to her try to make something up and watching her face as she tries to hold her expression/stall/think of something flattering is the most amusing thing that's happened all night.
Listening to: Arctic Monkeys - "Brainstorm"
9:08am-
Text from Austin:
"Communication."
10:31am-
Good thing this apartment door opens inward. I'm one of the first people to leave and there's a wall of snow about 8 inches tall climbing up the door.
But wow....! What a beautiful day....!
It's lightly snowing, sun shining, weather isn't thaaat cold and there's about of foot of snow covering everything...!
I love tromping through snow.
11:10am-
Oh. No ones at the studio yet....!
No one knows I was late at all.
1:01pm-
Matt talking about his childhood: "..It didnt seem like much then, but when I think back, we did horrible things..!? Everything just escalates into terrible... Like we would start off like 'let's roll these pumpkins into the street.' and it would somehow get to 'let's set this house on fire.' and there we are with a can of gasoline and matches...!?
1:41pm-
The other day Matt noticed a Photoshop thing I was putting together and commented on it.
Now he and Stacy keep giving me different projects and logos to make for things.
eh.. It's something to do.
3:31pm-
The paper shredder is jammed. The bucket inside it is stuck. It finally came down to 3 people, Austin, Jeremy and I, all on the floor with our hands on this thing trying to yank the bucket out.
Matt walks in and sees the scene, "This should be on our blog."
3:36pm-
Matt, frustrated by the whole thing, picks it up by the handle and just starts kicking it. Austin and I try to grab the sides while he's thrashing it around.
We get the sides and it starts to come loose. He finally yanks it out and there's an explosion of paper shreds.
8:11pm-
Filled my flask with brandy.
I'm to afraid to actually drink it in public any where, but just having it makes me feel like Muff Potter (from Tom and Huck).

Listening to: Arctic Monkeys - "Fluorescent Adolescent"
11:14am-
Get to the studio. Late.
But john is sitting on the stairs so that means I'm the first one here..
Been at the studio for a while.. It's been quiet.
2:14pm-
Tim and Joe and Allen and John show up on by one and things get busy.
Tim has been wanting to do a video for a week and been planning and making sure Austin and I would be around to do it. So now they're setting up lights and other gear.
It's a 'scanners' video. A short skit about Austin and I and an intern....
My big acting debut.
You'll see when I see.
4:51pm-
Nevermind.
After seeing the inappropriate dialogue chosen and how what could have been mildly funny was directed to be so... 8th grade funny.. (Austin says thats what happens when you smoke pot all the time. You dont mature. Your humor gets stuck in one place) hopefully no one will see it. Ever.
6:01pm-
Finally done.
Stupidest thing ever made.
7:41pm-
Austin drags his glass across the fan on his way to cheers me.
"This brandy is clumsy... From the brandy."
8:23pm-
Taking a sip of beer after drinking a little bit of brandy:
"Wow... So cool and refreshing compared to brandy.. It's like when you're running through a forest and you come across a clear, sparkling river.."
9:13pm-
"I feel like we have a lot of good conversations at this window..."
"We do. We do."
9:36pm-
Austin gets two more beers out of the fridge.
"Cheers."
"To Blue Moon."
"A river in the forest."
10:01pm-
Sitting by the window.
"Man, it's really snowing now. Probably means Matt and Stacy aren't going to work... Which means we might not have to either...."
"Let's communicate in the morning."
10:55pm-
Shay gets home but Austin and I are about to leave.
Austin hugs Shay.
I hug Shay.
Shay: "let's all embrace together in a spiral staircase of friendship."
So we all hug at once.
(Height difference.)
12:31pm-
I brought my cable over and everything and after 30 minutes of trying we still couldn't get the computer to hook up to the tv... Buhhh...
2:41am-
"Ahh... No.. I shouldn't look away..! I'm starting to realize you're like a little puppy that needs to be trained... And may never be....

Listening to: Discovery - "Orange Shirt"
9:15am-
Alarm.
I look out my window to see big, giant snowflakes twirling from the sky.
I cuddle up and go back to sleep.
9:31pm-
Second alarm.
I opt out of being at work on time for better options readily available.
10:54am-
I'm standing in the train, doors are closed and I see a tall nerdy guy run excitedly up to the door just as the train pulls off.
Two guys standing in the train chuckle about it.
It was the guys face.
Expecting to make it in..??
1:54pm-
Stacy walks up to Matt...
"How would you say this name...?" (M-A-L-A-C-H-I)
"....MALACHI."
"Yeah... I called and said, 'can I speak to...... Mullickky...?'"
3:03pm - 3:07pm-
Somehow Stacy and I are walking around the studio wearing Mickey and Minnie Mouse ears.
They're for wardrobe things.
...We're testing them out.
A real adorable scene.
6:07pm-
Austins looking up the weather to see how much it's gonna snow.
"Why won't it tell me the accumulation....?"
"Maybe it's embarrassed."
"Hahaha.....! I hate you."
6:14pm-
Looking at pants to buy to buy for wardrobe stuff:
"These are called Carhart Duck Logger pants...."
"Duck logger.. Mmm.. Sounds like a beer.."
Yeah.. That be a good beer.."
"Gonna go out and get me a good Duck Logger."
"Well, be careful.. Cause it could be a name for anything else."
8:13pm-
I've seen a lot of performers in a subway car, from singers, all sorts of dancers, acrobats, musicians... But magician...? With doves and bunnies in hats???
That's a first for me.
2:46am-
I just woke up.
At about 9 I sat down in bed to watch a movie.
Apparently I've been drugged.

Listening to: Little Miss Sunshine Sountrack - "The Winner Is"
11:02am-
Matt comes into the studio in a good mood...
"I brought some hot chocolate and oatmeal.. It's in here if ya want some...!"
12:05pm-
I add some hot chocolate mix to my coffee.
Old trick.
Old trick.
12:29pm-
Mailman steps inside the office: "MAIL!"
"Wow.. That was abrasive.."
7:00pm-
Comparing actors.
Austin: "..but when it comes down to it, Johnny Depp will always win."
"But what about James Franco..?"
"Oh... Yes. James Franco...... He's just.. You just trust him. You just know, James Franco, you will never let me down."
7:10pm-
Talking about how Keanu Reeves is so boring.
There's a video of a cartoon him.
Neil walks past.
"See.. He's not even animated when he's animated."
7:58pm-
Austin and I go into the studio for a meeting.
I get phone service and get a text from Noreen:
"Do you think you'll be out by 8?"
It was from 7:17pm.
Buhhh... We were supposed to go see Blue Valentine tonight..
9:32pm-
Meeting finally over.
It was about ways to be professional. And that more interns were coming in and they want to make sure they know we work there and aren't interns.
And other business things.
Even though they mentioned things that we've messed up (Dickerson/UNICEF) it was mostly hopeful and encouraging.
12:31am-
"In my mind we got married. In my mind we had kids. In my mind we grew old and got sick of each other.
IN MY MIND WE HAD LOVE."
-Reverend Vince and the Love Choir
At Union Pool with Austin, Sean and Noreen.
2:33am-
Finally home.
It was a long journey.
Fell asleep in the train but woke up just at my stop.
Out as soon as I got to bed.

:::NO NOTES FOUND::::
I either lost them, or never made them, or something....
But nothing exciting happened.-
Slept till 2.
Finally got up to do laundry.
oh, I watched an old man play Galaga. He should have been a star captain from another era. He knew this game.
Went and got some pizza With Maria.
I guess nothing that memorable happened.

Listening to: Starf*cker - "Rawnald Gregory Erickson the Second"
12:28pm-
Getting dressed in the hall.
Gonna go sledding today!
Noreen and I meet Allye and Dan for brunch.
1:49pm-
"Yeah, the Gossip Girl guys are so... Good looking. They're too pretty. Not our type."
"That's why we like you guys."
2:27pm-
I like buying people brunch.
I like pretending I'm rich.
2:47pm-
Getting ready to go sledding..!!!
Listening to vanilla Ice, "GO NINJA! GO NINJA! GO!"
Allye to Dan (while trying to break dance in her little apartment): "ok. I'm gonna do two steps and then do a hand stand and throw my feet up and you have to catch em. Ready...."
3:11pm - 4:09pm-
Sledding!
-Snow!
-First time Noreen goes down the hill on her own: we yell "Watch out!! Watch outt!!" But they don't and she hits someones legs and knocks her off her feet...!
Classic.
We do our best to hide our laughter.
-Coold hands..
-Found a ramp some kids made. We all take turns and get in line!
-Snow.
Everywhere.
-Get tackled in the snow.
I knew this was gonna happen at some point..!
-Snow.
In my pants.
In my gloves.
In my hat.
7:14pm-
"Can't have your cake and eat it too."
I understand that now.
What a terribly depressing statement.
I once heard the question,
"would you rather be in love with someone, or have someone be in love with you?"
I never knew what the answer to that was.
But now I think.... who cares about someone loving you if you cant return that love..
7:32pm-
Made some egg rolls for shay and I.
7:51pm-
Made a pizza to split with shay.
8:31pm-
Shay and I are watching a movie with Elijah Wood.
He starts saying things Frodo would say.
"Oh no... I love this Jewelry...?!"
Hahaha!! We couldn't stop laughing!!
