Old spice deodorant

Woke up this morning, thanked god my blankets TAKE UP SPACE ON THE MATTRESS, SO I WAKE UP ALL THE MORE ready for the day. They fill the time like PEOPLE! Like, conversations (fake) or how a new deodorant canister carries itself across DIMENSIONS AND WE CAN HARDLY FIGURE IT OUT! (IT ALL OUT!) Chokes you hard, and new, but we let it because we need it and because we have to AND CONVINCES YOU IT IS NOT THE FIRST TIME, IT WAS WHAT YOU USED BACK IN THE 2020 WINTER OR MAYBE IT WAS 2021 SUMMER OR WHAT YOU USED TO INHALE WITH YOUR FACE PRESSED TO THE HARD CHEST OF THE BOY YOU STILL LOVE (It felt like cement!), REAL SUBTLE THESE CANS ARE SUBTLE, until they're gone in a blink and the CVS is all out of your usual. And now you must say your goodbyes (kiss 'em!) until they wash back OVER YOU, when you're most unsuspecting (like a deer) in an unsuspecting room (the headlights). Then you must kiss it goodbye AGAIN! YOU NEVER STOP KISSING IT GOODBYE if it never stops CREEPING up on you, only if you couldn't smell it BUT WE ARE GLAD THAT YOU CAN. -Your friends at Old Spice Deodorant Factory. Thanks for being a loyal customer this year, take 10% off, ON US! :) I know this is the one this time (I'VE SWORN). I know my credibility dwindles more and more each time, I know (I SWEAR), but this time, THIS TIME, I think I really found it. None of them feel wrong at the beginning though-- THEY FEEL EXACT. Like, it's the right breed. THEN THEY GROW AND GROW AND ATTACH TO GROWING OBJECTS, THE ONES THAT HANG AROUND NOW, a cluster of deer on the run, entangled wool blankets, (or the talk I had with the boy I loved) AND DON'T FEEL LIKE HOME ANYMORE, it's somewhere else-- maybe under my sweaty pits.

Old spice - but for women

I’m so tired of being boxed into pastel-packaged, cucumber-melon-scented expectations. Just tried Old Spice, and wow - it goes on so smooth, smells insanely fresh, and honestly feels more “clean” than most “for her” options. And if you think about it - toothpaste isn’t marketed to a specific gender, so why should deodorant be?

WELEDA DEODORANT SPRAY

Certified natural, actually works, helps me get multiple wears out of dry clean and hand wash clothes, can withstand the gym and the summer heat, comes in Rose, Sage, and Citrus, can get at the market or pharmacy, worth the $10-15 price tag :)

ROXY CINEMA TRIBECA

Is this currently my favorite movie theater in NYC because they premiered my new film and hosted a complete retrospective of my work? Duh! But it’s deeper than that. Two years ago I was convinced the arthouse theatrical experience was doomed and that the future was ramshackle cine-clubs for a handful of scorched psychos. Turns out I was wrong. Things are back to normal and on any given night now there’s a surplus of amazing programming all across the city again. The biggest plot twist, though, was the rise of this posh, art deco, single screen theater beneath a fancy hotel in the heart of Tribeca as the new epicenter for contemporary indie cinema. While other venues floundered at first, the Roxy reopened with a bang, finally giving a theatrical run to Eugene Kotlyarenko’s Spree (which never got a proper theatrical release due to covid). Next thing I knew they gave Project Space 13 a run there too, despite not having played any festivals or any of that shit… and it was selling out! They’re doing the same for Betsey Brown’s Actors right now, which keeps getting extended. It’s been a while since I’ve seen a theater tap in this hard. Recent events with Abel Ferrara, the Ion Pack, Alex Ross Perry, and more have been unforgettable. Seeing ASAP Rocky hop on stage to freestyle with Abel after the Siberia premiere is one of my all time fondest memories there. It’s tight being able to see new films like The Scary of Sixty-First, Zola, or El Planeta balanced perfectly with rep fare like Screen Slate’s Bad Habits nun series and Sean Price Williams and Nick Pinkerton’s monthly ‘City Dudes.’ Head programmer Illyse Singer and her cohort Mitchell are heroes. Bonus points for being walking distance to the best new record store in town, Paradise of Replica.

HANGMAN’S ELM

It’s not just the most GOATED tree in Washington Square Park, it’s the single oldest tree in all of Manhattan! For over 300 years it’s been posted up on the corner of Waverly Place and MacDougal Street in the northwest region of the park. On any given morning, afternoon, or evening you can find throngs of wack jobs enthusiastically ingesting every type of narcotic while acting shady af around it. When the city was in lockdown I’d have all my “important” meetings there. The bulk of Project Space 13’s pre-production was hatched out under its shade. In the last few years alone it’s been privy to crazy all night raves, historic protests, Van Damme level fight clubs, and bizarro performances (from every end of the spectrum). The most outré shit you can think of is just another day at the office for this towering Ulmus procera. It even beat the murder allegations! People love to claim it was used for hangings in the American Revolution, but there’s little to no evidence supporting this. There’s no plaque or anything drawing attention to it either. Salute this OG tree when you see it.

SOLOWHEEL CREWS

Shout out to everyone racing around on electric unicycles, drinking bubble tea (or White Claw), yapping into selfie sticks, blasting un-Shazamable dubstep, and weaving through oncoming traffic. While face masks and plywood dining shacks have completely altered the contemporary urban landscape, this scene’s the cherry on top in our journey (descent?) into some kinda cyberpunk meets Burning Man future. I never thought vape pens or Bluetooth headsets would catch on because they looked so ridiculous and shamelessly sci-fi… But they did. Don’t wanna be wrong side of history again, so I’m all in on the e-scooter renaissance!
