The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus
http://www.sonyclassics.com/theimaginariumofdoctorparnassus/
"The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus" is a fantastical morality tale, set in the present-day. It tells the story of Dr. Parnassus and his extraordinary 'Imaginarium', a traveling show where members of the audience get an irresistible opportunity to choose between light and joy or darkness and gloom. Blessed with the extraordinary gift of guiding the imaginations of others, Doctor Parnassus is cursed with a dark secret. An inveterate gambler, thousands of years ago he made a bet with the devil, Mr. Nick, in which he won immortality. Centuries later, on meeting his one true love, Dr. Parnassus made another deal with the devil, trading his immortality for youth, on condition that when his daughter reached her 16th birthday, she would become the property of Mr Nick. Valentina is now rapidly approaching this 'coming of age' milestone and Dr. Parnassus is desperate to protect her from her impending fate. Mr. Nick arrives to collect but, always keen to make a bet, renegotiates the wager. Now the winner of Valentina will be determined by whoever seduces the first five souls. Enlisting a series of wild, comical and compelling characters in his journey, Dr. Parnassus promises his daughter's hand in marriage to the man that helps him win."
i want to see this.
I'm going to see Up In The Air tonight.

New Disturbing Trend: Baby Wigs

SandraRose.com featured this sad story of a mother (her name was kept anonymous, probably better for her safety) who got really sick and tired of her baby being so … bald. “It’s never too early for my baby to start looking glamorous like Beyonce!” said the mother. What did she decide to do about the problem? She gave her kid some long, luxurious locks, natch. Don’t worry, she didn’t get her a weave, which could be painful and dangerous for baby’s head. She got her a less dangerous, yet still fiercely fashionable, lace front wig. “I wouldn’t be caught dead without my lace front and my baby won’t either,” this doting mother explained. OK. I’m not laughing anymore. Does this scare the crap out of anyone else? I don’t know whether to cry or call Child Protective Services. What if this trend catches on? Then what’s next? Thong diapers?

Adam Lambert is a sweetheart
I got to meet him tonight and told him I was a big fan and can't stop listening to the album. And that it got me to go to the gym, which i hadnt hit up in about 2 months. He was like yeah! its a good workout album, just skip the 3 ballads. I was like no! Power walk!
He was really sweet.
I worked jingle ball tonight, just in the press area not the show part. john mayer did no press :( but it was fun!

john mayer storytellers taping
We get there. we check in. they tell me i might ask a question. they seat me and the other couple of question people first with our guests. I was in the 4th row, center. I was the alternate question.
They come up to me after everyone else is seated and tell me i'm going to be asking my question to John Mayer tonight and move us to the 2nd row, center.
I was shaking. so nervous. me? talking to JOHN MAYER? he's going to look at me and talk to ME?!?!
i rehearsed my question a million times with Maura, and i got it down perfectly.
The question round comes along, they go through everyone they had EXCEPT ME!!!!!!!!!! oh my gosh!!!!
I was soooooo disappointed. It was such an amazing taping and an awesome event, and all i can think of is how they got me stoked out of my mind and dropped me like a hot potato. What the heck?!?!
but i was in the 2nd row, and we made so much eye contact. At one point i was singing the wrong words while he was looking at me.
i love him. so much. i need to meet him. tonight could have held one of the most amazing moments ever.
Here was my question they wanted me to ask:
You went to Berkley but left before graduation to pursue your career in music. Was it easy to leave or did you feel there was more to learn at school?

adam lambert
this album cover is so amazing. and so is this album. he got me, im totally interested in this man. hes like a boy lady gaga.
the first track sounds like it was a 2009 pop/rock song written for and sung by freddie mercury.
the 2nd song sounds like the electric dream machine collaborated with him.
the rest of the album is fun. i listened to it 3 times today. twice at the gym.
yeah, thats right. the gym. don't get too excited though, i only power walked. i didnt want my legs to hurt bc i have to wear heels on thursday.

whatever works
Saw "Whatever Works" on the plane, as well as "The Time Travelers Wife" and "500 Days of Summer."
I really liked WW! its a Woody Allen film, which in the past I have found I generally dislike. But I loved Larry Davids super cynical, overly paranoid character. and Even Rachel Wood was surprisingly excellent as the naive and impressionable young lady from the south.
I recommend it.

john mayer night finally happened
this is a pic he took during soundcheck. you can see me sitting to the right of the mic. black shirt, gray scarf. neat!
he played his live fuse show. it was fantastic. i stood all the way up front next to the stage bc nobody stopped me. i watched his soundcheck and sat in the front, the room was basically empty, it was pretty surreal.
the night before i saw him at music hall of williamsburg playing a myspace secret show, which was insane. when he plays gravity, i get the chills so badly.
didnt get to meet him. we were going to, and then we left the venue.

wear earplugs
WEAR EARPLUGS every time you go to a concert and be careful in recording studios.
My tinnitus gets so bad sometimes i can't even handle it. it drives me absolutely nuts. tonight to the point of tears.
I always research it, hoping somebody found a way to cure it. there's nothing. the cells in my inner ear got destroyed and i can't get them back.
from http://www.stopsnoringnewyork.com/nyc_snoring_doctor/tinnitus_treatments_newyork.htm:
"Inner Ear: This is usually the site of most cases of persistent tinnitus. The delicate nerve endings (hair cells) that detect the vibrations of sound in the fluid of the inner ear are readily injured or destroyed by insults such as loud noise, blows to the hear, certain viral infections, certain medicines, such as aspirin) and once they are lost they are not replaced. Over a person’s lifetime, the gradual destruction of these fragile cells leads to a progressive hearing loss with age (presbycusis) that is frequently accompanied by tinnitus. It seems that the decreased input from the sensory cell allows the nerve activity to be unregulated, and the brain interprets this as a sound. This is the tinnitus that the patient perceives. It is the inner ear tinnitus that is so hard to treat because we cannot restore the missing hair cells. The only way this will be fully cured is to regenerate these cells with stem cell treatment.
Nevertheless, anything and everything has been tried, but there is NO treatment that is truly successful. Lidocaine might temporarily reduce tinnitus though its reduction of nerve activity, but it has to be given intravenously. Lipoflavinoids have been touted as helpful, but are scientifically unproven. Melatonin has also been touted as being helpful. The main problem with tinnitus is that its constant presence emotionally upsets the patient and forces the sufferer to concentrate on the sound itself, thus making it seem louder and louder. This is the same thing that happens with pain, and tinnitus can be rightfully considered a kind of pain. Methods of reducing the brain’s focus on the sound are therefore helpful: biofeedback, anxiety reducing drugs, yoga and meditation. While they don’t eliminate the tinnitus, these techniques make it less bothersome so that the suffering is reduced. Another helpful treatment is to give an external sound in the ear to “mask” the tinnitus. This can be in the form of a noise machine, the “white noise” static from a radio, or even a fan. There are tinnitus maskers available as well that are placed in the ear and look like a hearing aid. Tinnitus Retraining Centers have also appeared in various areas and rely on retraining the patients' brains so they treat tinnitus similar to the way they treat the sound of a refrigerator in their kitchen, which they are normally not aware of, and when they do hear the sound, it is not bothersome. The method retrains reflexes involving connections of the auditory with the limbic and autonomic nervous systems, and retrains the subconscious part of the auditory pathway to block the tinnitus signal. TRT always consists of two components: intensive one-on-one directive counseling, and sound therapy, most frequently with the use of sound generators (which emit low level of broad-band noise), following a specific habituation protocol. Tinnitus should never be masked in TRT, because one can never habituate signal one cannot detect."

i went to my first hockey game today
I went to my first hockey game today. Rangers at MSG. They lost. I dont remember who they were playing. i feel so bad for the goalies when the other team scores.
Sat in a 200 section, im one section closer to accomplishing my goal of sitting in every single section in msg.

i like new things. a lot.
today was great. had brunch at lil frankies with ko and laura. then visited veronica at her gallery, which ruled. then went shopping.
I got this really neat necklace. its long and gold and has 3 gold paper airplanes on it! i love it.
Then I got this super cute owl dress:
Then Ko and I went to make our own perfumes at this place located at 21 E. 7th street. Don't know what its called. New York Fragrance maybe? I don't know, but the girl was amazing! You told her what you like and she pulled all these scents and mixes them together to give you exactly what you want, then you name it!
I was feeling really under pressure to name it and I couldn't think of anything, so i just called it "I Smell Good" and im really upset by that now. i could have thought of something way better. Ko named hers after a song, "Blow Away" or something really cute like that.
Then I got a cork board to put my longer necklaces on. I covered it with this cool tissue paper I had and hung it on my wall:
gooooood day!

this used to be a funhouse...
Went to Pink's Funhouse tour tonight....HOLY SMOKES!!! she was absolutely amazing. The production was freaking fantastic, and her voice...man her voice!
the ending was beautiful, with the glitter and the water. so good.
I went with Tara and we were very very very close. We were on the floor in the seats, and she had a catwalk thing going on, so when she sang at the end of that she was basically right in front of us.
I want to sit in every section at MSG. starting a bucket list.
Pink rules.

their new haircuts look soooo cute! holy cow! Alex T. Kent was my favorite.
Also, I submitted questions for Steven to ask John Mayer when he interviews him on Friday. I'll be super excited if he answers something I asked.
So at the Say Anything show, this weirdo older guy comes up to me and Allison and says he works there, and he'd give us 2 drink tickets each if he laid down on his stomach and we stood on his back for the set!!!! WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?!?!! it was so creepy and weird.

Just watched the vmas, they were good this year. crazy and weird people. kanye is a douche. taylor is cute. beyonce is nice. lil mama is nuts. lady gaga doesn't come from this planet. perez hilton makes me want to punch his face in every time i see him. green day rule. gabe should have never left midtown. the all american rejects thing was weird. i didnt like pinks outfit during her odd performance.
...i had a dream about john mayer last night, that he came to the studio and i was interviewing him but i didnt know i was interviewing him until he walked through the door. then i got really excited. during the interview i said something really funny and he was laughing a lot, but i cant remember what i said.
then i woke up, and went back to sleep and had a second dream about him. this time i was the talent relations point person at a venue he was playing at, so i just hung around him the whole time. watched him rehearse. it was awesome. i love him.

found it!
i have been searching for this lullaby song i really love for over a year, knowing only that it was "sing a song of sixpence" and it was a female singer. try googling that one. yeah. it sucks.
but i actually freaking found it miraculously. it's by Sophie Barker on her album "Lullaby". I love this song. I ordered the album. it'll make me sleep.
500 days of summer was really good, i loved it. That's what sparked my search for the song. another song was familiar in that movie.
went to see it for $6.50. AMAZING. i love living here. love love love.
nick is nuts
thanks luis, for telling me to check this out.
i was a fan of his disney stuff when sang both Jasmine AND Aladdin. This is equally confusing/fantastic:
I love Wenesdays
Dodgeball was so fun tonight! I got into it, even though I got out really fast each time.
After we went to the bar, Boss Tweed's, and I played flip cup for the first time. The first chug I spilled half the beer all over myself, but my side won all but one time! I rule. Also, i was drinking beer tonight. I think I'll only drink it after dodgeball. or when i play flip cup.
It's funny I'm playing all these games now and I never played them in college.
The other thing I love about Wed - Glee and So You Think You Can Dance :)
I'm avoiding unpacking the rest of my stuff. Also I lost my curtain rod.

I can't wait until the Marshmallow civil war.
This is the group who put on the giant pillow fights and bubble battles and really fun stuff like that. This one coming up in October is AWESOME!!!
read about it...
Civil War - October
Many years ago, widespread unrest in the region and a perplexing overabundance of marshmallows led to a soft armed conflict between opposing sides. Marshmallow pistols, jet-puffed assault rifles, bow-and-mallows and Peep grenades decimated each army until nobody was left alive. This is a reenactment of that epic battle.
Sides will be chosen, marshmallow weapons will be loaded, and chaos will ensue.
We will post plans to make marshmallow shooters on Newmindspace.com, and provide 1/2" PVC tubes for those who cannot make them. It's not too soon to build your marshmallow cannon ;)
Coming in October 2009.
