This weekend I saw the following bands (!): The Birthday Massacre, Soul Asylum, Elephant in the Room, The Bravery, and OK Go.
Unfortunately, I missed my opportunity to see Suzanne Vega, but I digress.
All of the bands were pretty awesome. Bday Massacre rocked, as did Soul Asylum, complete with lead singer Dave's cheezy jokes and comments (what does Snoop Dogg call rain not caught by an umbrella? Fadrizzle.).
Elephant is a local band who changes tempo like 10 times for every song. I was calling them ADD rock. Plus, they had matching cut off shorts which was interesting (bunch 'o' dudes - should have called themselves Dude's in Duke's or something).
Then there was The Bravery who really one me over. At some point the hipster Jaggeresque lead singer switched places with the young Johnny Cash/Ian Curtis bass player --> they swapped instruments and the bass player sang, just like that! You don't see that level of talent and musicality quite often. All the guys in the band one over everyone and it was amazing.
As day took cover into night, we saw Ok Go. That was really the biggest surprise. They too are insanely talented people but their ease on stage and the little touches they have in their show really excited everyone. They had a hand-cranked confetti blower that blew red, white, and blue confetti at different stages throughout the show. Then the lead singer held a couple contraptions up to the mic that he manipulated to make cool noises. After that, I kept yelling "gadgetry" cuz I wanted more. Lol.
At one point all four men dragged out a table and performed an amazing song to handbells in honor of 9/11. It was pro, and I hadn't seen anything with handbells since grade school. They even wore the little gloves. Even more coolness, the lead singer asked if anyone played guitar during the next song and he pulled this teen girl on stage. During the song he instructed her and she played the guitar right on his body while he sang! Pretty freakin' cool! On top of all this, I loved one song more than the next and then all varied quite a bit as well. Awesomeness!
I'm feeling kind of sore throatish today (maybe it's belated grief from screaming this wknd) and I'm off to have a fresh fruit 'n' veggie juice. We are both committed to drinking this for 3 days (or more) just to clear things out. I think it's the best thing I've done in a while.
I'll update ya on our progress. ;)

libra amazingness
LIBRA (September 22-October 23)
Saturn enters your sign this month. After a brief visit earlier in the year, it retreated to Virgo and will now spend the next 24 months right with you. This journey starts off with some thunder and lightning: the 5th and final opposition of Saturn and Uranus, capping off a sequence of events that began on Election Day 2008. The prior four oppositions took place in late Virgo and Pisces, veiled from your direct view. July’s event is the one and only opposition across the Aries-Libra axis, which makes it especially personal. Saturn’s role is to help you tie up the loose ends in your life, and there seem to be many. I suggest you overemphasize matters of commitment, consistency, and follow-through. There will be times you’re called upon to make firm, clear decisions, which may contrast with the style of wait and see you inherited from your child-self. Remember that you’re only and always deciding one thing, which is who you are. Many external forces are influencing you to change and grow. Yet something deeper and more substantial is at work, which is a return to the deepest core of your self-awareness and a fundamental coming-to-terms with both your true nature and your true potential. This is about taking action, and one thing you can be confident of is that when you do that, the world will rise to the occasion and meet you full on.

up above to the land of love
Back on the east coast, still freelancing at MTV. Listening to Patti Smith's Frederick and feeling good.
I would like 4th of July plans that are fun and not crowded and include little travel and lots of fireworks. Hmm. A difficult conundrum.
What are other people up to?

new day
Things have been very difficult, but my father is home today and all is well. It's a beautiful day here in FL, and I intend to enjoy it. :)
It's supposed to rain pretty heavily tomorrow when I fly back to NY, so I'll have my dramamine in hand and hope for the best.
Oh, and I'm back to MTV next week, so I'm looking forward to it.
Hoep everyone is well and thanks for all your good thoughts and well wishes...

One of the best live performances EVER
And my personal fav.
Someone commented this on youtube, lol:
Radiohead is so out of place at the Grammys. This is like Daniel Day Lewis giving an acting lesson to the MTV Movie Awards.

Oi
Hi all. As a lot of you know, my dad is having health issues that I won't go into here. He's tough as an ox, so we all know he'll be fine. Plz send him your love. I may be gone to FL - not sure when, but soon.
Having a good day at work. Showed a cut about a dance team that needs help (for MADE) and everyone really liked it a lot. Plus, I had apparently improved it a lot since the last time this one producer looked at it, so I got props from him too. Nice feeling. I'd like to post the cut here actually, so I'll work on that. I might even like it on my reel page, even though it's just a rough greenlight (a package shown to the executives to get a show started and then eventually aired).
So I'm listening to Moz and enjoying the day. I'm enjoying the weather even though I'm cooped up in a windowless office. :)
I just am.

one more cakewreck
Man, I can't help but post this one, lol:
The Baby Cake Gets Cut Down to Size
You know how sometimes you see a baby cake that's not too horrendously awful, and your first reaction is something like,
"Aw, just lookit that face! Who's a cute widdle boopsie woopsie baby? Is it you? Yes, it's you!!"
Anyway, my point is that while some of these baby cakes might be just the teensiest bit cute, you have to remember one very important thing:
It's all fun and games 'til you cut the cake.
Yes, I have an example. Brace yourself.
Here we have the standard old man baby cake:
I say we call him Benjamin. ('Cuz he's cute as a Button!)
[Quick side note: in case you're wondering, as I did, why he's on a food court tray: it turns out that's a new type of cake board popping up in bakeries. Weird, I know. Ok, sorry to interrupt. Let's move on.]
And just so you get the full effect:
Just lookit that face!
No really, look at it. Aren't you glad the eyes aren't open?
[shiver] Whoah. I just gave myself the willies. (Or should I call them the "bennies?")
Okay. So, über realistic baby. Been there, done that. However, here's where things get...
...cutting.

best lunch everrr
OMG. So I've been trying to eat healthy and mostly raw, and I went to Green Symphony by my job in Times Sq (I recently reviewed it on yelp because it has a fresh juice bar and I get the green monster - spinach, celery, ginger, apple - and actually yesterday I customized it and got spinach, celery, apple, and pineapple, mmm). So I went in expecting to get my green monster juice - and I know I should have because it makes you feel INCREDIBLE - but the hot/cold bar called me over.
They had things like veggie egg rolls (which looked really good btw) and chicken lasagna and stuff that might be made with better ingredients, but which I was not about to eat in my life right now. So I left that area and went to the side and the first thing I saw was a carrot and sprout salad marinated in raw tamari. Mmmm! I have been having a craving for this particular salad ever since I saw it on one of the raw sites. So I got some of that, some red cabbage and raisin salad in some amazing non-chemicalized dressing, some corn salad with scallions, and some tomato and avocado salad.
Let me tell you, these salads were so bursting with flavor that I thought - if this is raw, hellelujah! Lol. So delicious and a little container of all of this was 5 bucks. I got a fruit leather also and I have an apple from before so I'm set!
Yayyyy!

awesome SATC 2 review
I liked the movie, but this man's review is so true and amazing. Plus, his Brit accent makes it even more emphatic. LMAO

Looking forward to Memorial Day Wknd
Had quite a nice wknd but it really did fly by. The weather sucked, but what can ya do?
Back to a busy schedule, but particularly this morning, I felt really great. I had a pep in my step, wearing long ago discarded jeans again, and feelin' fancy free.
This sounds really yummy. Maybe I'll make it and put up a pic:
VIETNAMESE NOODLE SALAD
INGREDIENTS
1 1⁄2 TBS olive oil
4 1⁄2 tsp Nama Shoyu
½ c mango strips (optional)
5 c kelp noodles
2 TBS toasted sesame oil
1⁄2 c de-stemmed fresh cilantro
1⁄4 c de-stemmed chopped fresh mint
1⁄4 c de-stemmed chopped fresh basil
¼ c chopped green onions
2 tsp finely minced garlic
1 1⁄2 tsp finely minced kefir lime leaf
1 1⁄2 tsp finely minced lemon grass
1 1⁄2 tsp finely minced ginger
The zest of one lime
The zest of one small orange
1 TBS honey
2 TBS chopped almonds
1⁄4 c chopped tomatoes
1 TBS chopped red bell pepper
1 tsp black sesame seeds
STEP 1
Marinate the mushrooms in the olive oil and 1 1⁄2 tsp of the Nama Shoyu while you prepare the rest of the dish (they need to marinate for a minimum of 15 minutes).
STEP 2
Peel the optional mango. Use a mandolin, vegetable peeler, spiralizer, or knife to slice it into long noodle-like strips.
STEP 3
Place the mango, noodles, cilantro, mint, basil, garlic, kefir lime leaf, lemongrass, ginger, lime zest, orange zest, honey, and the remaining 1 TBS Nama Shoyu in a large bowl. Use a rubber scraper to gently turn the mixture over and evenly coat the noodles.
STEP 4
Distribute equal portions of the noodle mixture onto four plates. Then sprinkle with equal parts of the almonds, tomatoes, red bell pepper, black sesame seeds, and optional Coconut Noodles. Serve!

bahhh, Tues
I'm really enjoying this mtv gig, but this week feels so long alreadyyy. Trying to get back on the health bandwagon and enjoy this week. Sunday's AIDS walk was good (sorry, I forgot my camera) and urban bear fest was fun (my friend helped organize it) and then I hung out on the highline for a bit. Oh, and Saturday R & I went to Red Bank which is a really cute, laid back, pretty town.
Good times. Now to get done with work!

Oy vey
So I go to "the lodge" (yes, I speak mtvspeak) to get my lunch and step out to the patio/balcony b/c today is such a friggin' gorgeous day and I see everyone and their mother lined up leaning over the balcony. As you all know by now, there was a bomb scare that turned out to be a cooler full of water bottles (thank god).
I didn't have my camera but basically it was a bunch off cop cars shutting down the block. I am literally right in Times Sq, lol.
So I'm fine, my salad was pretty yummy - why are raisins and carrots such a winning combo? discuss - and all's well.
Happy Friday.

Sign of the Times (Square)
So yes, I left Times Square around 3am on Saturday morning and a handmade bomb was found in an SUV that night. Yeah, a bit scary. But, upon my return to a different bldg in Times Sq (for a different gig on Mon), I found a shitload of cops. Not that this entirely calms my nerves, but I would hope there were also undercover cops. And undercover ninjas. And very obvious ninjas in black with face masks, for that matter. :P
So back to this morning (Wed). Maybe due to the aforementioned security (or not?) the building security at work wouldn't let me in! None of my "contacts" were picking up their phones (for various reasnons, I came to find out) so I was s.o.l.
I finally got in and got an ID. They had an old picture of me from my last gig with the company (corporation? empire?) and it turned out it was when I had blonde hair. Haha. Or at least lotsa blonde streaks. Fun to see that, but I took a new photo. I thought that maybe I shouldn't, and I should be like Patsy (Absolutely Fabulous) and keep my same fresh-faced photo for the next 40 years. Lol.
Ah, so back to the waiting. I got to hang in Times Sq and people watch. Beautiful sunny day complete with those flute playing people who always manage to be playing in any open space in NYC. So I was chillin' and noticed THE ball. The 2010 ball. So I took a quick pic. :P
Oh, I also took a pic of the reallyyyy cool and oddly engrossing semi-new video screen on the Amer Eagle bldg. It intrigues me mostly due to to its geometric shape. It also occasionally displays HUGE photos of tourists in the store who give a "catch phrase" like I <3 Obama" and crap.
And lastly, my friends, I included pics of the chirashis that Ric crafted this past weekend. Chrirashis are fancy rice bowls with sashimi (raw fish) cut up and various other things. They go from 20-40 bucks usually. Ric got amazingly fresh fish from whole foods and put together these rice bowls. Keep in mind that the pics don't do it justice and that the bowls we use are for mammoth-sized people.
It was sooooo good -> melted in yer mouth. :)
Hope everyone's had a festive cinco de mayo! Ayyayyyyyy!

OMG the other Tyra!
So not only do I not have cable, but I've been so ridiculously consumed with work this week that I haven't been able to watch the finale of RuPaul's Drag Race until tonight! Aw, poor Juju B went down in flames! How did that happen so fast?
I think they want someone so "fashion forward" because of the judges, particularly Santino. I don't think it matters too much in the drag world, but hye, Ru is miss "supermodel" so I guess that's whatcha get on this show.
And I love Raven, personally, but they formed the whole finale in favor of Tyra so it seemed like she should win. Plus, who wouldn't want a homeless young father to win? I mean, really. But I did not condone him stabbing Ju in the eye with his heel! Wtf, right? Or ripping off wigs? Not very ladylike behavior, lol.
Anyway, pretty good finale and I'm happy for Tyra. Leave me yer thoughts about this in the comments!!
Good night at work. But man, 42 nd st is sooo insane, even on Fri nite. It's a human jungle - I thought concrete jungle was referring to, well, the concrete and buildings, but it's really about the people running around screaming and being crazy like deranged hyenas. Hahaha. It was kind of fun to wade through, but I'm just like, I just worked, get me hommmme!
G'nite and yay for the weekend...gotta back on a more "normal" sleep schedule...

Artists Galore
Ha, an artist came into the shop today kind of out of it or stoned and said he was broke and just bought a water (we have a 2 buck menu! I wanted to scream but he was already onto other things). Anyway, we chatted a while and he gave me his website, but the exact page he gave me at first didn't have any photos or descriptions, just a location of his show. Well, after he left, I looked at it in more depth and he's...
a BEAR PAINTER! Lol, I'm paraphrasing, of course, but check it out.
Pretty awesome. A print of that one painting would be awesome in someone's living room. Hehehe, guess which one I'm talking about. Just curious if you can guess it.

work
I'm doing this night shift gig for mtv and it's fun so far. Well, not the hours, but I prepped this past wknd to be able to stay up. And the first day I started, or night if you will, Ric and I didn't see each other for a whole day and we live together, lol.
Anyway, the people are really nice here and although there's the avg amount of stress expected during post and during the process of selling a series to a network, everybody's rather laid back compared to some past people I've worked with (who shall remain nameless, muahahaha).
Well, guess what? This whole show is similar to MADE and the first episode is about this woman who lives in Canarsie and undergoes all of these steps to become a singer/performer. So of course I've watched tons of footage of her - at her home, with her kids and ex-husband and father, etc., and during every phase of this process. Today I came in to work and there she was! She was called in to do some v.o. for our rough cuts.
There's always a star struck feeling that I get meeting people whose lives have unfolded to me on the footage which I watch nonstop at work. She has a very cool and funky sense of style and today she was wearing white leopard tights. :) Oh, and she's quite slim - the camera added a lot to her. Movie stars must be stick thin, I swear. It's insanity.
Anyway, it was quite the cool experience. I was very nice to her but kind of in my star struck haze. Nonetheless, we made small talk.
So I'm still at work and about to drink my banana and spinach shake. Good times.
;)

Alissablog :)
Hi everyone,
So I've decided that in lieu of old-timey calligraphic quill-written letters (thanks for teaching me anyway, ma), or more "modern" methods of "expression" like facebook, I'm going to really concentrate on my blog. This way I get to post my photos to one place to people who care to look, and I also get to be a bit creative. Facebook I'll leave for lexulous playing.
So if you're out there thinking "whatever happened to alissa?" or "I wonder what alissa's thinking at this moment (or day)"? then you know where to click.
It's a fun project for myself and my loved ones that I hope you'll enjoy. You can leave wacky comments at your leisure. Hehehe.
The first photo I'm uploading is this flyer from my shop because I still laugh when I look at it. Kind of reminds me of Ricky from Better Off Dead. Ric sent it to his "guildmates" (gamers) and he thinks they all think that's him holding the drink, lol.

Lil adventure
Here's some pics of my s.o. and I on a trip to Lambertville, NJ.
We ended up walking over the bridge which was beautiful and before we knew it, we were in New Hope, PA. I think this is common knowledge amongst NJers, but it was a surprise for us! We'd like to go back and explore more soon. :P

Day About Town
I got out of NJ and wandered NYC the other day with my friend, cohort, and co-conspirator, Ian. I had never been to the Highline park so we wwalked around there and then wandered the Chelsea Market a bit.
Later we met up with Sean and went to the Ace Hotel lobby and then wandered a lot more and then ended up at an Irish pub on 2nd Ave.
Good times.
