i just watched american buffalo again. movie version of a david mamet play i did a set design for at nyu last year. it’s always interesting to see someone else’s interpretation of something i’ve designed and see how they’re similar and different. i think i’m on a mamet kick again, i’m probably going to dig out some of his stuff and read it tonight. i really like how he does dialogue.

my heater’s been acting up. it’s steam heat, and it’s always been sort of erratic but lately my radiators are making these sort of alarming clanging noises and occasionally spewing rusty water onto my floor. i find it disturbing. also it’s quite loud, the sound kept creeping into my dreams last night and woke me up a couple of times. it’s mostly subsided for the moment but i don’t know if it will stay so.

tomorrow i’m going to go see that new digital version of akira in times square with spencer and mrtails and whomever else, so that should be entertaining. right now i’m entirely too sober, however. hopefully this will change soon.
