new jersey, the armpit of the nation.

4:08 PM i think NJ is the east coast’s Indiana

is that right?

Me: oh absolutely

i think i’ve said that exact same thing before when trying to explain indiana to other people

Cheech: very nice.

much more accessible to people.

4:09 PM i wonder what state it is in the south, or the west

i bet alabama and utah

Me: but i have found that jerseyans are a much more malevolent race

bc indiana folk tend to stay in indiana for the most part

Cheech: yeah

Me: but jersey people feel like it’s their right to invade other states

Cheech: well indianans can’t read well, so that may relate to their mobility

Old City and Rittenhouse Square, are you listening?

No decent bar or club will…

• make you wait in a line to get in
• make you pay cover (exceptions: Fluid, Making Time, most gay bars)
• not have enough seating for you to rest your stiletto-aching feet/pass out on your friend’s shoulder

Also, any DJ that can spin a decent mash-up immediately gets bonus points.

Le Cinema #2: Blow-up (1966)

Another one of my favorite movies. It’s definitely not for everyone, as there’s not much of a plot, but it’s got loads of style and attitude. Definitely has convinced me that although I can’t go back in time to Swinging London, I’m for sure living there one day. Visuals and directing aside, I think the film is an incredible meditation on how each individual defines their own reality. This scene has nothing to do with all the high-minded stuff, and you may be familiar with it because it’s been parodied tons of times.

Also, how hot is David Hemmings.
