Well, Then!

I’ve spent the past few days going back and forth about who to vote for today. I think Bloomberg’s doing a pretty decent job, but as a former resident of Boston, which will likely re-elect its mayor for a FIFTH TERM today, I’m not really down with Bloomberg’s term limits bullshit. I don’t know if I want to cast a vote for undemocratic political manipulation, though because I like Bloomberg, I’m okay with his inevitable win. I just plain don’t like Bill Thompson and I refuse to encourage Reverend Billy. I finally took the time to go through all the candidates and found my pick: Frances Villar, a 26 year old single mother/CUNY student running under the auspices of the Socialism and Liberalism party. She is excellent on health care, homelessness, education, and LGBT rights. I am genuinely psyched to give her my vote, despite this bringing me one step closer to my inevitable future as some crazy old Upper West Side/Park Slope who spends too much money on cheese and writes cranky letters to the editor.

Oh, who am I kidding? That sounds awesome.

"We had this running joke where we would ask Jim what he was going to be for Halloween and he would say, 'an adult.'"

- Laura Ballance, Our Noise: The Story Of Merge Records

May wind up stealing this bit tonight, as I’m retiring the hipster wig and couldn’t be bothered to find a new look. If it wasn’t for my beard, I could say I was Jim Wilbur.

Speaking of Samberg, I was surprised to find “Iran So Far” on Hulu - guess they resolved that Aphex Twin drama. Totally forgot about the Jake Gyllenhaal cutaway.

I do not get the success of "3" at all.

I enjoyed quite a bit of Blackout, but this just sounds like the first draft of a Lonely Island short starring Jane Krakowski. “We’ll throw some jokes in the verse later, just sing ‘are you in?’ over and over for now.”

(Ok, “1, 2, 3/Peter, Paul & Mary” is a great hook - Samberg would be proud - but I’m still amazed what people will part with 99 cents for.)

Corey Feldman’s wife Susie is suing for divorce after seven years. Thanks a lot, guys - now it would be in poor taste for me to sing Corey’s valentine song at the wedding. DOO-DOOP-A-DOO-DOO, I LOVE YOU!

Feel free to enjoy the gallery I made of their time together for work. What were you doing at 9:30 this morning?

Kathryn Bigelow Won Best Director At The 2009 Hollywood Awards

This may mean nothing more than “Kathryn Bigelow was willing to go to the Hollywood Awards,” but I really hope it says she has a shot of taking the Oscar. Mostly because The Hurt Locker is the best movie I’ve seen this year, but it genuinely would be awesome to see a woman take home this trophy. Sofia Coppola (for Lost In Translation), Jane Campion (for The Piano) and Lina Wertmuller (for Seven Beauties) are the only ones to have even been nominated.
