champagne and amazons

overheard in the office kitchen earlier on:

"yeah, but - last night? it was great - 'cause - she was riding on a horse, right? and - like, the amazons? they rode horses too? so - like - she was like an amazon?"

me, pissing myself laughing, making a cup of tea. i have no idea what the context of that snippet was.

* * *

1. i kind of feel like i'm not taking the hold-up thing seriously enough, when i compare my reaction/how i feel to how others have reacted when they hear about it. am i just being stupid? although walking back up to 9th St from the LES on Monday night i did suddenly realise i was kind of jumpy when this guy lurched out at me from nowhere.

2. i'm averaging about three to four hours sleep a night right now, and it's killing me. it's just a case of work hard, play hard. i missed the Franz party on monday night at the tribeca grand because i was working till 3 a-bloody-m. that kinda sucked. and i felt terrible at letting my friend down, but i really had to get that stuff done for the magazine.

3. last night me & CC were working late at my office on our own 'zine (abusing the company's internet and potentially their colour photocopier). it got to like 9:30, we were more or less packing up and messing around watching stupid cartoon music videos from paperrad.org when the Boss walks past. i mean like the CEO, the big cheese, the one after whom the company is named. "oh shit," i think and garble out something out working late on projects. he just smiles. i go to the bathroom and when i come back, CC is in the kitchen talking to the boss... who's brought us out spare sandwiches from his meeting. turns out they're having a late meeting but he's fed up of the client, bored with the meeting, and using us as an escape. so he gives us some dinner, then we're trying to find a bottle opener for the nice bottle of red wine he's just offered us but we can't. he offers us scotch instead. no thanks. then he pulls out a bottle of champagne, opens it and makes us hang out in his office so he doesn't have to go back to the meeting. it was hilarious. and champagne - and it was the good stuff - gets me drunk as fuck. good times... we then headed over to barcade to round off the night.

4. i'm totally obsessed with that 'tendency' song by battle. i've had it pretty much on repeat for about a month. i totally wear songs out like that. i have a repetitive playlist that i listen to constantly for a bit. but damn, tendency - awesome track. hunt it down.

5. the photos for the magazine project came out brilliantly. i was blown away. everyone involved totally stepped up and came up with some really excellent shots, and i can't wait to see what the magazine does with them. FYI, the Ed. loved the shots too, which is both awesome and a huge relief... So yeah, at the moment these are some of my all-round favourite people (CC, Lauren, Rob, Alex, Seva - and please include the lovely Mizzz Lewitinn, who sadly couldn't be in the photobooth as she was DJing at the time):
