Congratulations to my awesome co-worker Nick Poppy, whose short film, "Zombie American," is playing at the IFC center as part of a festival of films associated with The Daily Show.
* Yesterday someone at Harper Collins sent me a press release for that book about that chick who was held hostage in Atlanta and read a Jesus book to the guy until he let her go. So I wrote back "Can you just send me the parts about the meth?" I haven't heard back yet.
* The Gallery of Annoying Email Signatures. I've only seen one good email signature ever, and it was:

UPDATE: Joey informs me that a movie set in the 70's will soon be shot on Rivington, and that's what the painting is for. That makes sense because I noticed that the painting above Alias is actually a touch up of the faded design that was already there.

Because what does every generation born after 1952 associate with that name? This guy:
* Last night I wrote in my notebook the following:
"He who is not busy quitting smoking is busy quitting living."
I'm not sure why. Maybe DL has dreams of one day being an anti-smoking ad copywriter who listens to a lot of Dylan.
