James Gandolfini: What the fuck is that?
Me: It’s a video camera. James Gandolfini: That fucking thing is a video camera? Me: It is…they didn’t tell you this was going to be a video interview? James Gandolfini:Noooo. They didn’t tell us. Me: Oh, well that’s what we’re doing. Is that alright? James Gandolfini: Wait, I thought this was for the LA Times? Me: It is. James...

YOU CAN’T GO HOME AGAIN.
by Danielle Lee
I was a little worried, going to see Young Adult during a visit to my suburban California home town, that I would too readily identify with main character Mavis Gary, played by Charlize Theron.
A 37-year-old that too easily wriggles into the…
Read my thoughts on Young Adult! If you’re into that sort of thing.

marksbirch:
Last week, an intrepid group of eaters assembled in NYC Chinatown to embark on a three hour tour to devour the best Chinese dumplings in town. Or should I say it was more like a mob? With over 30 people in tow and many logistical challenges, we worked our way through mountains of fried and…
I went on this tour and concur that Tasty Dumpling House was the evening’s...

– Nina Burleigh has a great piece in The LA Times, The Scapegoating of Amanda Knox. In 2007, Knox was a naive young woman who did not understand how she was perceived by others and how unfairly the world could treat her. Now, four years later, she is all too familiar. As a woman, an American and a...

PARTY AT THE MOON TOWER!
by Danielle Lee
Obviously a fond look back on “the best years of [your] life” is going to include getting wasted in the woods. Driving a car blasting “Free Ride” in your Chevy Chevelle Super Sport on your way to score Aerosmith (circa Toys in the Attic!)…
Didn’t realize how long this had gotten. Oops. Read or skim if you’d...

Remix: ‘All the President’s Men’ vs. the Beastie Boys’ ‘Sabotage’
“I can’t stand it, I know you planned it, I’m gonna set it straight, this Watergate,” begins the Beastie Boys’ “Sabotage.” All the President’s Boys is one of those perfect remixes that works so well, you can’t believe you didn’t think of it first. Editor Jeff Yorkes “cinemashup” of footage from All...

Chloe swimming like a sea otter.
She is so cute when she swims, you can tell by my girly laugh. :)
Cannot get enough of these pics/videos of the family dog Chloe getting some laps in, with wagging tail seemingly propelling her across the pool and back.

– —Gay Talese’s “Frank Sinatra Has A Cold”, what we determined in the office this morning is the best essay ever (via flavorpill)

I’M NOT A GUY THAT’S BIG ON CHANGE

I have the Instant Nostalgia disease. This one time, a few weeks ago, I had this wildly romantic affair. Except… without the romance. Or the really, truly liking each other part.
But why would I let boring rationality wipe the Vaseline…
