I Need a Job in New York, A Subletter in Cambridge

Ever since it was made official that I am moving to Queens July 1 I have been running into old friends all over the place. One even popped up to say she’s moving one block away from me in Cambridge NEXT WEEK. It’s nice. It feels right. My social schedule for the next month is going to be busier than it ever was in my 6 years in boston.

But aside from social engagements I am going to be spending the next month looking for a job. So is Tony, apparently, but not in New York. If you know of any positions available in New York, preferably film-related but that’s not an absolute necessity, let me know. I’ve got mucho film festival experience, writing experience, editing experience, admin experience, liquor-selling experience, I can do it all.

And if anyone wants to sublet my room, let me know. Also if anyone wants to give me a large sum of money, let me know. Thanks.

See Me In Greek

Apparently a review of mine has been reprinted in Greek, for a special program for the Thessaloniki Film Festival. Anyone happen to have a copy? I’d love to see myself in Greek. Here’s me in Portuguese. Here’s the original review that was reprinted.

Me me me MEEEEEE!

I Agree With the Catholics

No Wonder I’m A Good Writer

From this NYT op-ed about the plagiarizing Harvard chick-lit novelist:

Ms. Viswanathan is a bookish girl who might have had more success at
fiction if she didn’t bear the burden of the overachiever.
Overachievers don’t generally become writers because the skill set is
so different. As I tell my writing students, if you want to be
a writer work on the finer points of gossip, eavesdropping and
voyeurism; basically the pastimes of the underachiever, ways to while
away the hours.
