adventure is just hardship with an inflated sense of self.

comic-con was fun but super random. stayed with an acquaintance and ended up hanging with an old friend and a bunch of strangers. thanks to their kindness, i wasn't too lonely and ended up being really, really busy. till next time san diego. at least i'll know what to expect. highlight: standing in front of michael fassbender. oh fassy!

ps: ace acai bowls you guys got there.

everyday still feels like the first day.

i manage my friends airbnb situation when he's out of town and occasionally pay his maid, water his plants or fedex some paperwork. i honestly don't mind because he's a great friend and there isn't much i wouldn't do for him. to thank me, he informed me on saturday afternoon that he got me a ticket to the justin timberlake/jay z show at the rose bowl. when i arrived at the venue the next day, my seat was 16 rows from the stage. needless to say, it was one of the best concerts i've ever had the pleasure of witnessing. friendship is fun.

i've been stoked on this movie since it was supposed to come out in february. thanks to cbs films for letting me cover the press conference, premiere & even let me talk to director maggie carey (aka mrs bill hader) for almost 20 minutes solo. love, love, love aubrey plaza.

never look back and never give up.

a few weeks ago my manager got me credentials to cover outfest. i've never covered it before but was looking forward to bulking up my film festival resume. all of the folks i had the pleasure to speak with throughout the 10 day festival were all very sweet and passionate talents. thanks for all of the good chats!

sometimes i still sing the songs that you wrote on my bedroom wall.

it has been a ridiculously busy week and a half. all i've done is watch movies, interview people in those films, transcribe the audio and then write and promote said articles. being busy is great, but i haven't had a chance to breathe, sleep or see other living human beings. and things aren't even about to slow down. i'm off to san diego tonight to work a few press events at comic con. as a SDCC newbie, i'll be sure to send transmissions from nerd heaven and do my best to make the con my bitch.

and it goes on & on & on.

this documentary pulls at your heart strings from every possible angle. it was fantastic. now, whenever i see one of those seaworld commericals on tv, i feel a little sick to my stomach. the director and i had a very pleasant conversation last week and i look forward to seeing what she will be investigating next.

now i've got you in my space. i won't let go of you.

last month the LA film festival had me happily running around town. my sophomore season was highlighted by tracking down the publicist for this film and getting myself a spot at the press junket.

only god forgives is an experience i can't even begin to explain. there's a lot to absorb in the neon-lit and intensely violent world of nicolas winding refn. despite gosling not being able to attend the interview, it was a pleasure to hear NWR speak in such inspired and soft-spoken undertones.
