Mexico City- Hiroshi Nohara, a Japanese citizen, has been living in the Benito Juarez International Airport terminal since September 2, and because he has a valid visa, will most likely continue to stay until early March.
In the time he’s been there, he’s quickly become a local celebrity, garnering daily news reports on his time at [...]
You’re wearing a suit, stiff from starch. I’m wearing something casual yet cool, maybe a vintage tee and some premium jeans. A hip glass table sits between us.
You say this: “So, tell me. What is this new project you’re working on?”
Nervous, I wipe my sweaty palms onto the distressed Japanese denim. I begin:

To celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, America, I give you my freshman experimental film, 9/5.

That’s what they said.
And then I fell asleep.
Let’s pretend:
I have a late night talk show, probably titled something like “Comfy Couches with David Gwaltney” (horrible) or “Early Mornings with DG” (ironic and hip? no.) To be honest, it’s relatively standard: a well-practiced house band, a predictable monologue, and various zany gags and sketches, all presented by a charming host (Me. Right.)
Of these [...]
A Sunday Tradition: AMC 25, Times Square. A group of friends, usually consisting of myself and my roommate, pay to see to a deserving film (this week, Disney’s Bolt). After watching the film, we “sneak” into a movie. (MOVIE (noun): film without the art).
For the visual thinkers, this is my Sunday:
FILM—>hopping—>MOVIE—>Chipotle
Chipotle is the standard post-hop [...]
I have recently found myself scouring the internet for every bit of Knight Rider (2008) trivia, news, and fan fiction I could find.
People tend to think I’m crazy when I say I love the new Knight Rider, but here are three (of many reasons) why I believe this show might be one of the best [...]
It’s happened.
Scientists from Penn State are now claiming they could easily regenerate an extinct mammoth for as little as ten million dollars. (NYTimes)
