I just entered the Open Call contest sponsored by The Space. I only heard about it recently, and so I didn’t have time to make a video or other things to jazz up my presentation, but it was fun to enter in any case.

I’ve been taking a class in transmedia (storytelling over multiple platforms, ie, a story could begin in a book but continue in twitter, or a game, or on Facebook, etc.). The teacher, the playwright J. Dakota Powell, suggested I enter a project I submitted for the class. So I did! The finalists will be announced next month, so we don’t have long to wait.

I’ve been basing my projects on the book I hope to write (more news about that in a few weeks, hopefully). If I get to write the book, I will implement these projects when the book comes out.

Actually, I want to also come up with a singing idea, something that might complement Imperfect Harmony and might also spur some holiday sales, so I have to come up with something fast and relatively simple to launch!

A doggie daycare in Tribeca. I would think working here would be heaven, but maybe the reality is a little different? I don’t know anyone who has ever worked in one of these places.

A beautiful building near Gramercy Park. About the building to the left, why would someone put up such an ordinary building next to something to lovely??

There are two buildings on the east end of the park that I’ve always wanted to explore. There’s something so magical and romantic about them, I wonder about their history. I could probably just google them and learn everything I want to know. GOD I LOVE THE INTERNET!

A letter to editor of a Detroit newspaper written by a Canadian, and this doesn’t touch on all the areas which are important to me, like Obama’s support for science, and the Affordable Care Act (Canadians already have affordable care, so it makes sense that it wouldn’t be highlighted in this letter) but still:

Many of us Canadians are confused by the U.S. midterm elections. Consider, right now in America, corporate profits are at record highs, the country’s adding 200,000 jobs per month, unemployment is below 6%, U.S. gross national product growth is the best of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries. The dollar is at its strongest levels in years, the stock market is near record highs, gasoline prices are falling, there’s no inflation, interest rates are the lowest in 30 years, U.S. oil imports are declining, U.S. oil production is rapidly increasing, the deficit is rapidly declining, and the wealthy are still making astonishing amounts of money.

America is leading the world once again and respected internationally — in sharp contrast to the Bush years. Obama brought soldiers home from Iraq and killed Osama bin Laden.

So, Americans vote for the party that got you into the mess that Obama just dug you out of? This defies reason.

When you are done with Obama, could you send him our way?

What he said. This is another shot from the film shoot the other day for the new tv show Public Morals. I liked all the various shades of blue.

They’ve been in my neighborhood a few times, which is fun. It’s a new tv show about an NYPD squad from 1967. Here are some of the actors from the shoot.

That is the director (actor Ed Burns) in the beret. I wish I had gotten a better shot of the actress on the left. Loved her hair and outfit. A short movie follows below.

You know who I haven’t photographed in a while? Dog walkers. What is better than a dog walker, from the dog’s point of view? A dog walker with treats. That is why all these dogs are at attention. Could these dogs be cuter? (Hint: no.)
