I had a roommate a while back who was a ‘story editor’ in reality tv… her job was to frankenstein raw footage to form whatever story they wanted. beyond giving outright direction to the subjects, they would do dirty shit like leave the cameras rolling when they told people they were off. we’re not still friends.
lol donatella – if one of your interviews has a cobra eating contest, you will definitely be prepared!
House Hunters International is pretty cool though. It’s interesting seeing how people live in diff countries
ET: The NYC Transit Museum in Brooklyn Heights has really old subway cars that they take out on the regular subway system every once in a while. In the summer, for $45 or so you can get on a super old school subway car and get a ride out to Coney Island in the morning. In the afternoon the same subway car takes you to somewhere in midtown to drop you off. I think there are trips every month. Call the museum for details.
Train out to Montauk and fuck around on the beach like they did in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
The Cloisters.
Metro North up to Rhinecliff; spend an overnight in Rhinebeck.
The Rockefeller Estate near Sleepy Hollow.
****Growing up, one toilet, 8 butts. This is where I learned focus and not talking in the morning.
****Brooklyn Greene, Narita no problem. Breathe.
****Dibs, Hiragana is ancient and predates the acceptance of Chinese characters into the Japanese language. Tale of the Genji (Mideaval novel) was written in Hiragana. Katagana helps you read a McDonalds meun in Japan — the romanization of how Miss Kitty speaks.
****DH, The Honey Badger Video ROCKS. That aint your standard National Geographic narration. The Honey Badger is my mascot for my job search.
****Benson, I hope you worked it out with the Moose last night. Supposedly Mr. B. got an angry email from a Moose rights group (signed Bullwinkle) and they threaten to storm 5th avenue on the weekend in the biggest animal/human punchdown since Jurrasic Park. Apologize man.
Hate House Hunters too- smae thing for me Gem. Someonecomplains about the color of the walls or the curtains. Doesn’t want a rug. Too lazy or too scared to break a fingernail and take the rug up?
And the people on Property virgins? Aaarrrggghhhh
double sinks is something i will NEVER, EVER be able to wrap my head around. and dont give me that bullshit that people are rushing to get to work in the morning and may need to brush their teeth together at the same time. narsty! wake up 5 minutes earlier!
*rob*
“Cash Cab” is fake too.
you know house hunters is all fake, right?
they are already in contract on a house, and the whole selection process is staged.
