The Archive: Great Women of Film Networking Event Recap (2002)

February 16, 2010

I am in the process of cleaning out a hard drive that has been in my possession since 2000. The files that I am stumbling across are so old and random; I can’t believe it was me who wrote them in the first place. I was so scarily honest and hilariously tragic while purging all [...]

Thanksgiving In New York: 5 Years Later

November 26, 2009

Five years ago, I spent Thanksgiving back in Sacramento, CA. I had only lived in New York for four months but was already struggling with my new reality; I needed to escape for a while.
What I am remembering right now is the conflicting ball of feelings that I had during that Thanksgiving — happiness, extreme [...]

California Dreamin’

August 6, 2009

July 28th was my last day with MTV News. After three incredible years, I knew it was time to go. Here are some photos that encapsulate what my time there was like:

I decided to leave because I’ve wanted to be a film director/producer since I was 10 years old. After five years of working in [...]

Vlog/Travel: Message For Trinidy

February 21, 2009

I haven’t been back to Cali since 2007, which was a wonderful visit but also very difficult. 2008 was great, don’t get me wrong; I traveled a lot for work and met a bunch of cool new friends.
But being thousands of miles away from all of your family members is not easy.
After almost two years, [...]

Finding Obama: Inauguration Weekend Tales, Pt.1

January 8, 2009

The closest I’ve come to President-Elect Obama was last fall, when I pretended to shake this cardboard cut-out version’s hand in Union Square.
It’s incredibly surreal, being able to look forward to a progressive president who I actually care about. I have a huge grin on my face because a few hours ago I was told [...]

I am in the process of cleaning out a hard drive that has been in my possession since 2000. The files that I am stumbling across are so old and random; I can’t believe it was me who wrote them in the first place. I was so scarily honest and hilariously tragic while purging all [...]

Times Square Celebrates Obama Victory

November 4, 2008

It is almost midnight and Times Square is on fire. From my view on the 29th floor I can see them below like ants – there is a huge crowd (bigger than in the photo I took a few minutes ago) cheering and all the taxis are honking like crazy! I can hear the roar [...]

Stuff I Love: Scaring You With Dolls & Killer/Scary Doll Movie List

October 28, 2008

 I’ve been re-reading Borderlands: La Frontera this week and have been preoccupied with the passages describing the Shadow Beast. This morning I wondered why that was and then I realized that Halloween is coming up, a time when I tend to focus on the macabre.
Since I’ll probably seem more creepy if I do this another [...]

They Only Want You When Yer 17

September 12, 2008

I have mixed feelings about aging. This evening I took my BFF The Barnes to dinner because she recently celebrated a birthday while I had to work, so this was a belated celebration.
We went to Loulou in Fort Greene, BK. It’s a little French spot with really good bread and ambiance. My birthday follows hers [...]

4 AM Post VMA Ramblepants

September 8, 2008

The VMAs are over! Technically. If you don’t have cable or just like your TV on the interwebs, you can watch the show on the MTV.com.
I love this song.

I started my second semester at the New School again this past Monday. As you probably guessed, it’s hard to be in school during VMA week. Luckily [...]
