PROJECT 365: Day 181 - May 18, 2013

Settling in for the night with a movie I’ve been meaning to see for ages.
Not pictured: the previous 275 issues of SAD SACK. #sadsack #worstpornname
There’s a comic book???!!!

In 2007, I was drinking coffee in Marco’s livingroom/dining room/office. He told me he and David had launched a website that had done remarkably well. He urged me to register before somebody else registered daniel.tumblr.com. Maybe I could write things there instead of on LiveJournal. There were about 27,000 users at that point, one of whom was AZSpot. Since then, Tumblr has grown to about 300 billion users, each more unique than the last. So it’s done okay. Marco has left Tumblr, started Instapaper, and recently left Instapaper. The last time we were drinking coffee together, he had a living room and a dining room and an office. So he’s done okay. And I’ve done okay with Tumblr as well. The point being, on the Internet, a lot has changed since 2007. And in 2007 if somebody had announced that LiveJournal was maybe being acquired, I would feel about like everybody feels now. (Where would I store my feelings!?!)…
The broader point being, things change quickly on the internet. There’s always a younger, cooler site looming just over the horizon. I’m not sure that acquisition by Yahoo particularly diminishes Tumblr’s longterm prognosis. It means an influx of cash, stability, and technical capability. Heck, probably a functional search feature. And it means that Tumblr doesn’t need to desperately look for ways to monetize.
The Internet will kill everything you love. But by the time it dies, you won’t even care.

Los Angeles, CA.
Went to the ArcLight Cinerama Dome to see Star Trek Into Darkness, hoping to catch a glimpse of myself as Grasia. It would have been the loneliest screening if a pal hadn’t tagged along.

The Music Tapes were leaving town today, so we joined half of the band for a brief stint on the beach. Sylvio the Gorilla felt right at home and considered his options as a beach bum.
This is too good to not reblog.

I went to Gary Baseman’s house at the Skirball. Little ghosts and melting snowmen were waiting for me around every corner.
PROJECT 365: Day 176 - May 13, 2013
Los Angeles, CA
Most of my morning and early afternoon were spent in bed. Sadly, the view from my bed is currently this ugly ceiling fan.
My organs decided to cooperate mid-afternoon and I got to see François Ozon’s “In The House”. It’s a bit impossible to say how much I liked it without spoiling it, so please just do yourself a favor and go have a look. The casting is quite superb.

A sweet birthday party on a magical patio in Mt. Washington today to celebrate the other Kovalchik!
My jet-lagged bestie joined me outside, where we kicked off our shoes and enjoyed hummingbirds zipping past our heads.
