“Stupid Match.com Date”
So, Sarah was sitting at the table of the fancy restaurant in Tribeca, uncomfortable in her paisley dress.
She wanted to wear jeans, but her friends have time and again said that she looks good in dresses, sort of intimating even in her late 20’s she still can’t dress herself, that having to co-ordinate two or more items in her wardrobe was a bit of a stretch for her, that this idea of a grownup onesy was a better choice.

So I saw this movie yesterday, and it was pretty great, but the trailer makes it seem so quirky and indie, and trite, which is why it took me so long to actually watch it.
To me, that is really disheartening. Here is a movie that I really enjoyed and the marketing made me think with its hipster poster and trailer that I would think it sucks.
Sigh.

This older man, grey hair, sloppy with a beer gut was exiting the chinese restaurant. He ate two orders of dim sum, and a bowl of miso soup, which wasn’t particularly Chinese-y, but he liked that the made it sort of bland.
Melvin had a thing about tastes, he couldn’t tolerate spicy foods. Actually, he couldn’t relly tolerate spicy anything. His entire life was based on having a pretty easy time going. His programming work was easy. His cubicle at the bank he worked at was warm. People in his neighborhood knew him, well enough to know what he liked to order, but the area in midtown where he lived was anonymous enough so that thats all they actually knew about him.

“Alabama” (15 minute freewrite)
She was standing in the farmers market on Hollywood and Sunset, mad. Her friend Javier was 30 minutes late. She was standing by the avocados trying to tune out the sound of all of the kids running around, and yelling.
Claire should have known better. Javier was always late. So much so you could set a watch to it. If you wanted him to be somewhere at 1, you better say 12:15. It would be endearing if
Man, I love a good poop joke!

So I won a grant! It was in October, The Jesse Thompkins III Foundation for Young People in the Arts grant, for writing and directing, but I just got a photo from the event and thought, hey, let’s post it.
Ps: in case you can’t tell which one is me, I’m the only dude.

There is a hotel across town, on the Westside of Chelsea. It looks like a flophouse. I’ve never been inside but I often see people pass by, sort of waiting for no one to be around before they enter, sort of like what happens when dude want to go inside of a porno store. Do people still go into porno stores? Do they not have computers? Or are they just really into that cheap high you get when you are doing something you don’t wanna be caught doing.
