You’ve got to watch this bizarre and fascinating new video of Beck and Charlotte Gainsbourg’s “Heaven Can Wait.” It was directed by Keith Schofield and makes me yearn for the golden days of music videos again, when a few creative geniuses (Spike Jonze and Michel Gondry, etc.) transcended the medium. 

Wacky, wild stuff.

My goal is to wear a tie at least twice a week. I need some more sweater vests, though. And cool cardigans. “Dress for the job you want, not the job you have” is the game plan, folks.

Age of Consent

Watching “Marie Antoinette” again. I’ve always admired how writer/director Sofia Coppola told this story with such unabashed romanticism. This is not a stuffy period piece that Hollwood churns out year after year, but a moody and beautiful experience of what it’s like to be young. The party scenes alone - scored to New Order and the Siouxsie and the Banshees - really make that clear. It’s exhilarating to watch all those masked young people sway to new wave music at a mansion in Paris. And you know what they were feeling at the time? Like they had all the time in the world.

Another reason I may react so strongly to this movie could be the fact that I saw this in theaters months before American audiences could. During my first trip to Paris. 

My friend Stefanie and I loved it so much, we went to see it again during the same visit. And since we had a good nine days to play with in that fair city, we grabbed a couple of friends and took a train out to Versailles. There, we actually drank champagne and ate baguettes and cheese in the gardens outside the palace. Like we effing owned the place. Like we were invincible. Couldn’t be touched! Couldn’t be replicated! Surely you know what kind of feeling I’m talking about.

It’s the stuff that’ll give you goosebumps.

These are my four most favorite New Yorker magazine covers. They’re all, in some way, about distracting oneself. Something I know a lot about. Just this weekend, for instance, I have watched 5 movies and have read countless pages from two books - all because I’m sick. As in: Coughing INCESSANTLY. 

Basically, I can’t deal with reality so I get lost in other people’s realities.
