So according to the Metro Daily here (no pdf, or link as they didn’t post the 06.20.06 issue PDF), Jane Pirone, publisher & founder of Not For Tourists agrees that Brooklyn is the new Manhattan and Queens is the new Brooklyn.
Hmmm, gives me good insight as to why I’ve stayed in Queens so long.
Today, I feel my energies are certainly ‘hotter’ yet sex is so unappealing as I question the motivations and bullshit of certain women and men.
today i’m so frustrated i’ve flipped from wanting some cock - is this too vulgar? - to a nice piece of ass to pound.
this clearly means more work to be done

I love Rachel’s article this week. We definitely follow too many superficial cues in assuming who’s what, which is a modernist (at best) frame over a clearly post-(post?)-modern world

“DVDs will dominate for another decade”, says NetFlix CEO. I’m quitely largely inclined to disagree. Your thoughts?

So if this is the case, am I spinning on a early-adopter tv/movie distro model with the direct to iTunes store bit, I mentioned in yesterday’s post?
So on the train in, er, over this morning, I thought why not keep a daygig (closer to my career of mediamaking) well-paying, flexible, etc. Then be a Tyler Perry touring the country, well, the world really, with a modest-sized troupe to do a well-written, populist gay play each year. (I would write, or commission, the plays.) Send Pj as the tour manager, perhaps the director or a.d. This sounds solid, smart and slow.
This sounds great. However, for the amount of money, energies, effort and more here, I might as well make a frugal and fierce film. Then I could pull a Micheaux showing the movie one weekend per city, perhaps networking to make sure a name/celebrity attends grabbing news. This sounds cool, creative and connected, yet not my model.
I would rather get on this special event flavor above with simultaneous digital projection in theaters around the world, or at least North American market. Love how all three models include opportunities for travel. Love the efficiencies and synergies implied. What I was thinking more so, and discussing yesterday a bit, is how I film, fund and fling my episodic (dreamed) work into iTunes store (or my own websites/store!), and the features too!
I’m really moving to a point where I need affirmation and confirmation, nay permission from others to do my thing. Feedback is often welcome. Control belongs to Ms. Jackson, er, Janet cuz I’m naughty not nasty 
I love that I’m up early reading blogs, news, emails. So much done in the first two hours today. Then ran out to store for a couple Rice Dream boxes plus soem Amy’s Enchiladas - twice as much, yes. Alas, the trek to TJ’s is not on this moment’s radar. Maybe I can go post tarot with their cash Would be skipping beans and dozen Rx Drms. May need to arrange outlet trip, or something on that count.
How funny, I feel of the three screenplays in the midst - the non-music one, the mostly head shots, cheapest to shoot is most elusive. Is that because it seems to easy? Nah, I don’t feel any direct or humming connection to the subject matter at present. As well, I bet the absence of music makes it less appealing. AND it’s more a fluff piece really. More of myself is in the other pieces.
SELLING ME
For the 1/2 birthday trip, and new job pursuit, more money is cool. More career growth, likely duties, perhaps ownership/bigger possibilities bonus is what I’m after. Money would increase or stay the same. Might be a small company, boutique. I kind of liked Aveda’s size (about 500).
For personals - which I see preceding the job pursuit, perhaps simply to get chart read/trip booked, I feel like that is in tandem with job pursuit, or related. Those ads can go up anytime this week. Of course, I need to write them, and choose sites before that.
Enjoyed this piece about a couple prominent Polish-aimed Greenpoint/Billyburg nightclubs. The Saturday night house music at the one caught my attention too!

from an Entertainment Weekly poll, I answer the subject/question:
music is portable beyond the wonder of ipods, etc. music joins us together as emotionsas certainly common to most, if not all, humans. it is fun, it is moody, it is inspiring, it is informative. it is affordable! it is compact in file, time, and other sizes.
as i think beyond Doghouse, i fathom dream jobs (aside from money, to give myself plenty of breathing space).
one particular idea seems timely and apropos for a New York audience. that is writing weekly, maybe nightly, sketch comedy that is more brash, irreverent a la MadTV on HBO, or In Living Color with my angle on it. It is respectful, though not ‘p.c.’ Perhaps pieces are even written on the fly during/before the program itself; this feels like a live presentation, perhaps taped/broadcasted later.
your reactions, thoughts?
In November 2002, the Pulitzer prize-winning Parks sat down and committed to writing a play a day for the next 365 days and the result is 365 Days/365 Plays. For the 2006-2007 season, the Public will produce the New York premiere of these works by gathering together a cross-section of New York’s theater companies to participate in this project. Over the course of one year, the selected theaters will perform these brief snapshots from the imagination of Parks. This will be part of a yearlong national festival of the play cycle that will take place in major cities around the country including Atlanta, Los Angeles and Denver. Tickets for this work will be offered free of charge.
What a cool if BIG idea!
