I'm an expert at keeping myself occupied. Since January it's been trips to Texas, Tokyo, Paris, Hong Kong, Le One Night Stand parties, DJing, the start of my job at BUST. And finally when I have a moment to stop and think, I realize that I'm keeping my life so jam-packed so that I don't have time to deal with life. Classic Woody Allen-style New York neurosis. My 8-year-old cousin was in town from San Francisco this past week, and he's like, "Sheila, calm down! Relax. Take some time off!" I never imagined that a little kid would be telling me to chill out. Oh, the irony.

Part of this self-analysis comes after a 3-hour dinner with my dad, who sees right through my 24-7 lifestyle and puts everything in deep, psychological terms, often comparing me to world-famous nutcases. Lovely.

But the conversation did eventually turn to movies- specifically 2046, which I finally saw this weekend. Oh my lord is Zhang Ziyi GORGEOUS. I think I'm in love.

I've been listening to a lot of dreamy doo-wop lately- The Skyliners "Since I Don't Have You," Flamingos "I Only Have Eyes For You," the Penguins "Earth Angel." All hits. Perfect for the end of summer.
