"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.

1:21pm-
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."

Alexander Desplat - "Kings Speech"
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.

5:10pm-
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.
