In my head, theres two stages to a project — the creative bit and the labor bit. I try to get all of the creative/planning part done (ie sketching outlines for a painting or creating melodies/drum patterns for songs.) Then at a later date when I feel ready I can just paint by the numbers and grind it out without thinking.
Trying to be creative the entire time is just stressful for me

if yr ever in atlanta for an extended period of time, check out videodrome, our only video rental store in the city ! they have an really cool collection of international, arthouse, independent, and mainstream films (currently im going through abbas kiarostami’s filmography)
there’s something so refreshing about seeking out and consuming media without the influence of the internet, away from algorithms that tell you what yr supposed to like—it’s nice to browse around and take the ownership of yr own art consumption back in yr own hands

Pretty sick, went with a friend and it was very funny. $14 Movie Theater IPAs were hitting in a fantastic way. Then we went to see the second half of the Knicks game in some dive in the Village. It was a great time, stumbled on the escalator in front of strangers.

At the Lincoln Center Performing Arts Library you can watch almost any theatrical production performed in New York City since 1970. Due to union laws, you can only watch a production once and must stay in the library’s viewing cubicles. Recently, I watched John C. Riley and Phillip Seymour Hoffman in Sam Shepard’s True West. If you love theater, do yourself a favor and spend an afternoon watching an old production. I love theater and want new plays. I am imagining a burgeoning playwright creeping into the library to watch Meryl Streep in “Mouther Courage and Her Children” and going on to write their own Mother Courage (and casting me).

I have 2 big ones that make it easier
1. The more thoughtful questions you ask the less you have to talk! Write down like 5 tonight
2. At the end of the interview ask “hey thank you for your time today; is there anything top of mind that we didn’t get to touch on that you’d like me to go over?” Something like that. Shows you are serious about the job and whatever they do ask is an opportunity for last min brownie points
