American Football

It's pretty safe to say that I don't care much for American football, but yesterday had me going to my friend Paula's Superbowl party, and watching the Giants come back in the fourth quarter in The Living Room's little bar television. The best was whizzing by on quiet streets with the radio announcer screaming about how many minutes left were on the board... and the Giants winning - then watching people jump up and down in the middle of the street. Felt foreign but cool being inside that kind of sports history in the winning city against The Patriots, whose only game they lost this season happened to be the big one. (Way to blow it dudes.) I kind of understand sports fever now, after witnessing it first hand. Anyway, my travel mates & band I manage, Mellowdrone, have the pleasure of going to the losing city the day after the Super Bowl, playing Great Scott in Boston, MA tonight. I, however, am staying put in Brooklyn to have a work day while they rock and roll it.

cloverfield (yeah, me too)

I just got back from watching Cloverfield at Paramount (thanks to Summer!) and while I expected not to like it - the chaos, fright, tragedy, and comedy - had me coming out of the theater with near-real shock, worry and panic (gotta make an appointment with shrink this week as a result) applauding: BRAVA! MORE! MORE!

No seriously, I think it's the best escapist/scary/sci-fi/terror-filled movie I've seen in quite a long long while.

***(MAYBE) SPOILER ALERT***

Thoughts:

The motion-sickness thing seems to be really played up. I was more affected by the panic.

I completely understand how people were upset, affected and reminded of real-life events that have occurred in lower Manhattan.

Summer and I both think that in the subway-running-into-room scene we heard the little thing say "NOM NOM NOM"

And then... in the stairwell... while the little thing got axed, I swear it said "DO NOT WANT"

Mellowdrone @ Café Du Nord tonight!!

(((Mellowdrone go on at 10p)))

+ get psyched for what's up next!!
