RIP Sean Murphy

Today I found out that Sean, who used to live across the street from me in my childhood, died this weekend. He was one of my brother’s close childhood friends, and definitely made fun of me in my awkward years.

Go for the Green, Stay for the Romance

Friday evening was very LA. We all (meaning most of our office) went to a big thing for Filter magazine at MOCA that also happened to be a Basquiat exhibit and a Sigur Ros listening party.

the internet

I knew something was up today, when, on the way into work, I was thwarted from making a left into the Burger King where I customarily get my diet coke. They were doing construction, and hence the right lane leading into the drive was blocked. I thought to myself, “this indeed is strange,” while I [...]

Time

Its a funny thing, time. You find yourself watching as it passes slowly, then fast, slowly then fast. Today was spent mostly in meetings, and the time was fast until repose in the evening, then slow again. I look at clocks and one by one things move toward a past, and are lost in memory.
