People and cars from the 1930s took over 5th Ave in Brooklyn this morning. I felt like too much of a big lame tourist to pull my camera out and take a photo of the actual film shoot, so you get this sign. Maybe my balls will be bigger by lunch.

Japanther. Playing on a boat cruising around Manhattan at midnight. Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! This might officially be the greatest show in history.

I haven’t run into Meryl Streep yet today, but I just got a text from Sarah that she just passed Benjamin Linus on West Broadway. Apparently he still hasn’t made it back to the island.

A tiny mouse coat made of stem cells and kept alive in an incubator at the Museum of Modern Art just got the axe.  “Paola Antonelli, a senior curator at the museum, had to kill the coat. “It was growing too much,” she said in an interview from a conference in Belgrade. The cells were multiplying so fast that the incubator was beginning to clog. Also, a sleeve was falling off.”

Cindy Sherman towels: Apparently now available at Target for $50. I don’t know whether to freak the fuck out that: I can actually purchase a cool pop culture Cindy Sherman piece easily at Target, or that: they’re charging $50 for a fucking TOWEL (Well, turns out they’re sold out so if I want one I’ll probably have to pay $200 for it on ebay. That sounds more like it. No thanks, I’ll just go back to admiring Cindy Sherman’s film stills from afar.)
