Independence Weekend

Happy Birthday to my amazing little brother Oliver, who graduated Oxford a few weeks ago and is about to start his new job at Nomura. I couldnt be prouder of him.
Also
Friday I was asked what I'm passionate about and didnt have a ready answer.

I hung out with old high school girl friends at my place and theirs in NJ, and hopefully get to see the whole group tomorrow for dinner and fireworks.

I got a much loved watch from an ex fixed (If you know me at all, you know I place a huge importance on watches. Given to me by the most important people, they always told me the right time), and realize I couldnt just buy a new strap so the outside was good again- because the inside stopped working that night I brought it home. So I have to wake up tomorrow and get a new battery. Fix my favorite watch up on the inside and out. And its half chain now, half leather (my first relationship gave me a watch that was a chain, and like the relationship it was too much. the second was leather and near the end of the relationship I started neglecting it, and it started wearing. So now it's both) Aside from getting a tattoo of a watch with a gemini sign on the face (the twin faces) on my right wrist that is also the SAG logo (two faces) for actors, that reads out the time as my birthdate 6 10, I think this is the less painful, wholesome way for me to know what time it is, and have it be super personal.

Listening to the postal service, and me always saying im fine reminds me of that lyric "your perfect verse is just a lie you tell yourself to help you get by"

I went and saw this broadway play tonight called "The Normal Heart" that was just incredible... made me cry uncontrollably, and also dealt with some issues that I think are pertinent today. Even though it was written in the 80's, it deals with AIDS, and gay marriage, and the issues of casual sex among the young people of New York City... the fact that gay marriage was just legalized Friday night, and there's been gay pride parades all weekend, made it connect even more with me. At one point the boyfriend says "I don't think a man isn't meant to love. I think men learn not to love.
Monday 7:54 EDIT: I just wanted to add also that some people will argue that gay men are more promiscuous and have more sex- in a culture that wouldnt support their quest for the institute of marriage, what kind of relationships were they supposed to have?

I had the strongest compulsion to just go out and be crazy last night.

Baby I've had the same dream, where I wake up
wondering what it really means, if the world came running down.
If it was you and me against the world.

So I'm pretty excited about this new short film that I shot with director Loui Terrier and some other talented people a little while ago.. It's just been put on IMDB http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1967524/ and is about to start the Festival circuit. It just got its first acceptance into the Finger Lakes Film Festival, and has this Kickstarter page that raised a grand so far (for promotion and other project related funding), in 2 days! http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1147632586/indecent-exposure-a-short-film-2011
So I just wanted to let you guys know about this new project and also suggest if you're in a good mood, liking the facebook page http://www.facebook.com/pages/Indecent-Exposure-A-Short-Film-2011/156257221109151 and checking out the profile on Kickstarter.

I also have another short "I'm so Tall" that just played at Monaco Film Festival and is about to show at Park City Film Music Festival http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1941554/

Also this really good play is running for not that much longer, and it's really good: http://dowoplove.tumblr.com/

Last night opened up this book, 24 Italian Songs and Arias... When I was younger the first thing I wanted to be was an opera singer and I'd sing all day every day, its why I started acting, its why I learned piano... Even though I ended up up going to art school, I dont regret the time I spent, I just havent sang in so long, and when we opened this book, I still remembered the italian, the songs.... it was such a good feeling, refinding those songs with a friend... gonna try and record it sometime soon.
Also, I really like this song...
I have been meaning to write in here about this- that a person I cared about is with someone. I'm just happy for them. But Adele puts it really well. Sometimes it lasts in love, and sometimes it hurts instead.
Lots of people from the past are in town lately.

Admit it!
Despite your pseudo-bohemian appearance
And vaguely leftist doctrine of beliefs
You know nothing about art or sex
That you couldn’t read in any trendy New York underground fashion magazine
Prototypical non-conformist
You are a vacuous soldier of the thrift store Gestapo
You adhere to a set of standards and tastes
That appear to be determined by an unseen panel of hipster judges (bullshit)
Giving a thumbs up or thumbs down to incoming and outgoing trends and styles of music and art
Go analog baby, you’re so post-modern

Weigermeister smoothies with katy and some ther people at jenny's apartment tonight... remembering good stuff... i wish every day were like refinding old friends; really nice.
