Pit of DOOM! from Gabriel Barcia-Colombo on Vimeo.
Yesterday I woke up feeling terrible. Watery eyes, sore throat, nose like a broken pipe awful. I thought it would go away by today but after sleeping 12 hours last night I still felt bad this morning so I decided to try and find a doctor. Apparently going to see a doctor in New York City is like trying to get into a nightclub in New York City: If you don’t know someone or haven’t already been a patient in the past you can’t get in. So this left me with the walk in clinic on 16th street. 2 hours go by sitting in a chair in the waiting room. I am sneezing but nobody else seems to be so they ask me to please wear a mask which they provide free of charge. I am the only person wearing a mask in the entire waiting room. Not even the nurses are wearing them…just me. I look like the outbreak monkey. So after 2 hours they finally call me in to weigh me and measure my height. Then I sit in another smaller room for another thirty minutes until finally the doctor comes in and assures me that I don’t in fact have swine flu but rather a virus and terrible allergies. He tells me I have pollen in my eyes and that I should rinse them with baby shampoo and water when I get home. He also tells me that I don’t look like I’m 5 foot 5. I’m not 5 foot 5. The nurse wrote down 5 foot 5 and this causes the doctor to think that I am overweight. He re measures me at 5 foot 9. How the nurse lost 4 inches I’ll never know but the good news is I’m not overweight, I don’t have the swine flu and I’m not 5 foot 5.
This new great site features two of my favorite things: Scanners and Sandwiches!
I saw this movie Little Ashes with my grandmother because she was good friends with Luis Buñuel who is depicted in the film as a homophobic crazy person. (Which he wasn’t) However Salvador Dali is depicted as an even crazier egomaniac franco supporter (Which he was) The entire film focuses on the love affair between Dali and Garcia Lorca which may or may not have happened but according to this very silly film it involved lots of moonlight swims, poetry and group sex. An awkward film to see with my Abuela. Robert Pattinson plays Dali as if he was a vampire…surprise surprise. What is up with the long nails in every film Mr Pattinson? Are you that creepy or have you simply not heard of trimmers? Little ashes is a little ridiculous.

Electronic Cigarettes are the new rage. Smokeless, free of tobacco and tar but chock full of nicotine. How does blu work?
blu works with a small rechargeable battery and a unique, safe replaceable cartridge that contains water, propylene glycol, nicotine, a scent that emulates a tobacco, and other flavorings exclusive to blu. When you inhale it activates the atomizer which releases simulated smoke that is actually water vapor.
Zooey Deschanel can sing about anything and still look cute but in her newest cotton commercial we get to see what Zooey’s life is really like. From this ad it seems like Zooey’s life quite fanciful. She plays songs on the piano. All her lyrics fit on 2×2 square post its! She walks her fixie bike over to an abandoned parking lot to look for vintage clothing! She buys a banjo! She buys LPS! Then she tries on more vintage clothing in a montage but ultimately choses a sailor’s outfit! Cotton! I sort of expected Ben Gibbard to pop out of an antique piano in a pair of jockeys holding snippets of Devendra Banharts beard and eating a bowl quinoa !
