Yep, I Got Laid Off February 8, 2008 What better way to get the word out than with my webcomic eh? Anyway, if anyone knows of an interactive/ad agency or a company that runs one Web site in Manhattan for a Senior Level/Associate Art Director position, let me know. Here's my portfolio. Mid-size to large companies -- no small start-ups please. 30 Rock is Better than The Office October 27, 2007 The Office has turned into a PG-13 romantic comedy. This season is sucking. Jim and Pam making googly eyes at each other sucks. Last weeks' one hour episode sucked. Tonight's episode about the commercial sucked. That commercial they did was just another example of the forced puppy-dog-sentimentality that has permeated this show like a cancer. This makes me realize how brilliant Ricky Gervais is. The British version's more cynical and awkward version just leaves no room for "feel-goodedness." (Is this a word?) And he was smart enough to cut the show off before they ran out of ideas, which is what is happening to the American version now. There is no bite, no mean-spiritedness anymore. Good thing I have 30 Rock to keep me going. I'll just paraphrase my favorite line of the last week's episodes. While Jack Donaghy is talking to private eye Steve Buscemi... "I have a cousin that fixes basketball games.." I found it bizarrely titilating to find two of my most intense Hollywood crushes doing scenes together. Carrie Fisher (going back to 1980) and Tina Fey (whom I have had a crush on since 2000 or 2001. Next week, when I watch these shows on DVR, I'm going to 30 Rock first. In Rainbows Overview October 15, 2007 1. 15 Step - Doesn't do much for me. 2. Bodysnatchers - Cool guitar work 3. Nude - Drags a bit. Beginning sounds like Shake the Disease by Depeche Mode 4. Weird Fishes/Arpeggi - I like this one a lot. especially the repetion of the scales. I like how it's called Weird Fishes and I feel like I'm underwater 5. All I Need - I like the keyboards that come in at the end 6. Faust Arp - I like the acoustic action 7. Reckoner - I like the tambourine action. And then the orchestral action. The beat reminds me of Idioteque 8. House of Cards - "I don't wanna be your friend. I just wanna be your lover." When was the last time Radiohead did a straight up love song? Still works, but not my favorite track. 9. Jigsaw Falling Into Place - I like the intensity 10. Videotape - Love this one. My favorite track. I'm a sucker for keyboards. Actually... October 4, 2007 It was Shawn Marion of the Phoenix Suns not Lebron. But I figured most non-basketball people wouldn't know who he is. The sad thing was, I actually sat on my couch and really enjoyed the voice message. It kind of made my day. A Disappointing Day September 13, 2007 Greg Oden's injury for the entire season is not only a blow to the Portland Trailblazers and its fans, it hurts for anyone even remotely interested in the NBA. I modeled my "game" after Hakeem Olajuwon and was looking forward to seeing Oden develop. I at least look forward to utilizing him in NBA Live 08. I checked out The Hold Steady's Craig Finn perform an acoustic performance at Barnes and Noble Union Square tonight. He was great. All two of his fricking songs. I realize it's free, and I'll be going to a free show featuring the whole band on Monday but still. I also knew there was going to be some author there as well, but I didn't realize how much of a buzzkill she'd be. First of all, it's hosted by Air America host . She was absolutely horrible. She was completely reading off a script and her forced jokes may have made Oprah viewers give her a polite chuckle. Anyway, the author reminded me of the actress who played Forrest Whitaker's wife in The Last King of Scotland. The one that gets chopped up. One of the most disturbing movie scenes I've seen in a while but I digress. So this Lanpher chick is kissing the author's ass and 90% of the crowd is obviously waiting for Finn to play. He finally does a song off his first album. (I don't have it, and I'm too lazy to look it up). It was good. Then more readings by the author. Then Finn gets interviewed which was cool. Then he plays an outtake from Boys and Girls in America. Oh, and throughout the whole performance this AV dweeb directly to my right is giving instructions in his microphone like he's yapping on his cell phone. I know it's necessary, but come on. Finally, after an hour, it's over. What a waste of a night. Two songs, a lame host and a boring author. Boo, Barnes and Noble Upstairs at the Square. Boo. Blog Archive |
