Twitter and Instagram are chock full of folks happy to tell me how to be a Jew. How about over here? Send me your litmus tests and stereotypes I need to fulfill/disobey! I embrace the role of symbolic being

Anyone seen the doc about the making of apocalypse now? Called “hearts of darkness.” An extraordinary film w deep insight into filmmaking, the creative process and FFC himself

I realize a crepe is not at all a pie, but in #Argentina I had crepes stuffed w dulce de leche and lemme tell ya, these were **everything**

tbh i just love pie 🥧

Saw Space Odyssey last night @ the h’wood bowl, under the stars, w live orchestra & chorale. Was amazing. Also, Odyssey has rep as being weird & experimental - which it is - but the narrative is perfectly Aristotlean, it’s incredibly traditional

I’m at a point w my project where, I don’t think I have the technical ability to execute my vision. I really don’t. But I keep coming back anyway.

Ever seen the doc about the making of apocalypse now? It’s so good. Hearts of darkness… it is genius

The Twitter/X thing is like when you meet someone and they say something like "Everyone calls me The Serpent." And no one ever has or ever will call them that.

First post… gonna keep this acct art focused. books, music, film & theater, my own writing, visual arts… some politics will have to seep thru bc all art is inherently political, I think, and so, “whelp.”
