birds of paradise

again...back to planet earth. this is by far one of the funniest things i have ever seen:


I hope everyone who was hurt or inconvenienced by the blast yesterday is okay! i had to walk from 14th to 84th street yesterday. oy gevalt. but it could have been much worse! i will never look at a manhole the same way again.

Now that's what I call Music!

Today was a good day at zing, I....I'm sorry I'm distracted from writing my blog because the lyrical styling of Jon bon Jovi singing "Hallelujah" is ringing in my brain. It was bad enough that last night in McDonalds they were playing the worst remakes of the best songs ever. Maybe that's what the album was called "The Worst Remakes of the Best Songs Ever! # 12!" Bon Jovi's hallelujah should be on it. He was a lot better with the long hair. But other than that it was a good day.

rock in my foot

so...i'm back after a short weekend vacation to block island where i A) fell off my bike for the first time in my life, and B) got a little rock stuck somewhere in my foot which had been slowly poking deeper into my heel all day. but since has been temporarily fixed with a band aid.

I saw this movie at the film forum last week:


It was pretty good although it didn't really pick up til half way through. Belmondo was fantastic though.

i'm really excited to see transformers this week...

Anaximander Who?

Lovely monday. Today went by really fast.
Color-coded maps are fun to make. I spent most of the morning making a delivery route for our magazines, complete with highlighted route, signifiying arrows, and directions along the side. Maybe I should be a cartographer. Amerigo Vespucci style. It could work. On to Tuesday!!

DdddaadaadadadadaThhaattss All Folks!

Cartoons are great. Why do we ever stop watching them? You can never go wrong. They're happy, funny, entertaining, visually stimulating, and don't take themselves seriously at all. You can do anything as a cartoon. There are no rules. Who doesn't want that?!
We watched cartoons all day today (while working very intensely I assure you). Yogi Bear. Robotic Stooges. Flinstones. the Jetsons. Snorks. Mike, Lu, Og. Secret Squirrel. Quick Draw McGraw. Smurfs. Cow & Chicken. Courage the Cowardly Dog. Ahh, like music to my ears.



hmmm....maybe cartoons can kill you?

Have a smurfy weekend, everyone

too many commas

Today has been another fantastic day at Zing. My head is a little dizzy though from counting letters from these invites so we can order letters for these display things. I think i counted too many commas on that last one but it might have been because i was distracted by the geology program i was watching on the national geographic channel.

tomorrow i'm going to block island and i'm very excited. I haven't been on an actual beach-like vacation in i think 3 years (unless you count the quick visit to freezing cold north berwick in scotland about three weeks ago. i went swimming despite the cold).

tonight i plan on watching the mountains episode of "planet earth" and i can't wait. If any of who still haven't seen planet earth it is essential that you do. today (while counting letters) i watched part of the desert episode. it had elephants in it. it looked like this.


okay, thats it. more from this anonymous intern next week.

there are 49 "A's" in this email.

Welcome to zing

Dear Zing Magazine,

Hello! I am your new intern! Today has been a wonderful day in the joyful practice of interning. I learned how to print labels and tabs and assemble binders and then mail packages via DHL. I am currently drenched in sweat from carrying a package that weighed more than myself from the post office, which won me the respect of many a post office worker and I feel very proud.

I am really enjoying your office! This is by far the cleanest, most well organized, and pretty office that i have ever worked in. And its also air conditioned which is very nice for my current sweaty disposition. I was told to make this blog funny but instead I think i'm sounding more like an old British lady.

Here is something fun I did last weekend: http://youtube.com/watch?v=kZZqg1afScQ

I didn't shoot that video but it is of the "77 BOADRUM" show where japanese/experimental noise band the Boredoms organized 77 drummers to play simultaneously in Brooklyn Bridge park. Probably one of the single most fantastic shows/events that i have ever been to. They stopped playing right when the sun set so as everyone was leaving all the fireflies came out and it was like this ultra magical beautiful fantastic rock and roll moment.

So thats it for now. I'm going to make some more tabs and labels and enjoy the air conditioning some more. You will definitely hear from me again!

All my love,

Anonymous Intern
