I went to Mae West's old apartments, The Ravenwood on Rossmore looking at a studio apartment.

I got a nice tour. The place is so cool. Very historic.

The apartment I looked at was very small. No air-conditioning. Steam radiators. The 7th floor. Incredible view... of the other apartments.

The Ravenwood is in an "H" shape and this place was on the inside.











Still very nice at $1350.00 a month.

It's hard to think of paying that in rent when a mortgage can be cheaper per month.

The bathroom was awesome with all original ceramic Lilac tiles.

The coolest thing was on the way up I discovered that one of my favorite porn sites that features hot looking models posing in a hallway was shot somewhere in this building.












I recognized the hallway.

That's a selling point right there!

Anyway...

Walking away, I got rather sad. I don't know why... Just seems there is never enough money to do what I want.

I sat in the lobby for a while thinking about how to make a lot of money. I need to create something people want. What do people want? What do I want? I want to make a lot of money. Maybe people want to make a lot of money...

Now I'm just plain stuck.












Later, I was watching Robert Rodriguez's "Once Upon a Time in Mexico" and one of the features is his "Ten Minute Flick School," it is very funny and he shows off all his toys that his work has brought him.

The guy's got the life!

He seems to have found a way to get his dreams funded. I would like to have my dreams funded. Maybe I need to have better dreams.

I stopped the DVD and sat back and wondered what it would be like to have the movies you dream about made. Would I want to make action movies, or dogme 95 kinda movies?

Would I like to be a Vincent Gallo?

Would I want to film myself getting a blow-job from Chloe Sevigny, or hangout with Johnny Depp?

Sure they're tough choices. Choices I may never really have to make.

I pop in "Dogville" and try to finish it. Chloe Sevigny is in that and is really cute, but maybe a blow-job from Johnny Depp would be even better. She seems kinda stuck up, but then she may have been acting.

But then Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" sold 4.1 million DVD copies after only one day in stores. I haven't seen it, so I don't know, but I'm guess not a single blow-job in the whole movie. Unless you count the one the entire audience received.

I wonder if I can make it for those showings? I wonder what my mood will be then? Will I even care when the time arrives?

I stop "Dogville" again.

I pop in "The Work of Director Chris Cunningham," and watch his stuff.

I like it.

It seems so cold.

Seeing Bjork fawn over him is really hard after having my run in with her while shooting a Sugar Cubes live performance video.

How could I have had Bjork on my side? What did I do wrong? Is it my lack of talent?

Why can't Bjork be my friend, too?
