#19 - Top Rated (Today) - Music

youtube now lists stats per country. how cool is that?!

the stats are for my latest video, filmed by james gunn, and you can watch it here:
TERRA'S LATEST YOUTUBE VIDEO

james and i will be filming many more videos in the coming days and weeks.
the cool thing is that we are still using my original sony handycam, with the same built in mic, and we have set certain rules for the videos, to keep things very simple and pure and along the lines of my original virtual tour videos.

1. no cuts - video is filmed in 1 take
2. no external mic
3. live performance
4. every 5th video must feature a cameo by a dog with a human face. and not a dog with a face that kind of resembles a human's - we're talking about a dog with an actual, grafted-on, human face. if you know of any, please send them to james' house.

i got a new iPhone and i love it.
the best thing about my new iPhone is its camera.
and the twitter application which allows me to upload photos.

here are some photos from my new iPhone:

the best thing about los angeles, aside from the perfect weather, the ocean, the mountains, the fresh local produce and the rampant narcissism, are the mobile petting zoos.

on any given weekend afternoon, you can cruise over to your local strip mall parking lot and interact with baby animals. these guys were super cute and i'm sure they didn't find the 97º heat to be too oppressive.
thanks to my new iPhone, i will have the memories forever.

that's all for now.
enjoy your afternoons.

some updates!

ok people.

i'm sorry it's been a while since my last post.

i'm in a meeting as i type this.

i wonder if they think i'm taking notes.

i wonder if they think i'm smiling because i like their ideas.

i wonder if they read my blog.

things are going splendidly here in LA.

i moved into my new apartment yesterday, and no, i will not show you any photos.

(except for you, dad! i'll send some as soon as i get around to taking them!)

i've been writing with my amazing friends rachel thibodeau and jonas myrin.

here we are at rachel's hotel:

here's jonas being a total badass and talking on his cell phone in front of the "no cell phones" sign.

wow. what a rebel.

here we are in the mirror, looking at our lovely selves:

and here i am when it was time to leave:

i wish rachel and jonas could live in LA because they are two of my most favorite people. you can find rachel's myspace on my myspace page, and i will make jonas one of my top myspace friends as soon as he has a myspace page (!!! i know!) because you need to hear his music.

another cool thing:

i'm mildly obsessed with this.

at first i didn't get it.

not at all.

i mean, why do i need to update people every time something mundane happens in my life?

thanks to twitter, i can alert you via text message whenever i write a song or go to dinner with a friend or hit a parked car in my garage.

it's really cool. in the most self-obsessed, narcissistic way. and i mean that in the best way possible.

so sign up to receive my twitter texts (called "tweets" but i haven't gotten around to accepting that lingo yet) and stay informed.

my mishaps = your entertainment.

speaking of entertainment.....

i was given a very special sneak preview of my dear friend james gunn's newest project!

for those of you who don't know james, well, i don't really know where to start.

he does stuff like write and direct movies (slither, scooby doo, dawn of the dead) and destroy the dreams of wannabe horror film actresses (VH1's 'scream queens' starts in october!!) and is also a pioneer in the field of new media with several web tv shows in production and development.

one of which produced this stunning image:

it's called HUMANZEE and it's funny as hell and completely sick and twisted.

that guy in the photo is james' brother sean gunn, who you would recognize from gilmore girls and other actor-related shit if he weren't covered in fur and made to look like a total freak.

what else.....

i'm obsessed with ben folds.

his song 'one down' is the most brilliant.

this is a recent development, and i'm embarrassed to admit that it's taken this long!!

i'm planning something amazing for mid-november. i think. i can't tell you anything more about it at the moment. (what a lame update!!)

that's all for now.

more soon.

have fun.

enjoy life.

be well.

etc

i seriously don't get it but i think i know where it started.

see, i'm being stalked by some girl on myspace who claims that i'm sleeping with her friend's boyfriend. he's apparently a handsome, dark haired, older english guy who makes frequent visits to LA, stays at the beverly hills hotel or the sunset marquis, takes me on trips, buys me things, treats me like a princess, spoils the hell out of me.....

to be honest, it doesn't sound all that bad!!
but it totally sucks to have the stalker girl without any of the benefits of dating this guy!

so, in case you're out there, mr. handsome english man, here's a list of some things i want.
if i'm gonna be stalked i might as well get some shit out of it, right?

1. TOYOTA PRIUS (i bought a matrix because it was a lot less expensive and almost the same gas mileage, but the kept woman of an international jet-setter can't really be seen driving around in a matrix, right?? a prius will effectively take me out of the race by letting people know that i could afford more, but made a socially conscious decision.)

2. GRAND PIANO (or a baby grand. i'm fine with that. steinway, please. and dark wood - i don't really like light colored pianos.)

3. LASIX (i could buy this myself, but why should i?)

4. MY 2nd ALBUM (small investment, $100K should do it.)

5. GED QUINN (he's my favorite artist at the moment. i've been wanting to start an art collection, and ged quinn would be a great opening acquisition.)

6. iPhone (i have a blackberry, but i really want an iPhone. maybe you can also get me out of my t mobile contract?)

7. NEUMANN U87 ANNIVERSARY MIC (for home recordings.)

thank you, my sweet english sugar daddy, for your continued support.

oh - the girl on myspace seems to think you need viagra, so i might as well be helpful and pass along the info. maybe something good will come from this. no pun intended.

ps - don't ever lend your blackberry to some fucked up person you meet at a party whose phone has died. that fucked up person might send text messages to other random fucked up people and those fucked up people might end up with your number on their phones. they might have all kinds of drama going on. drama you DO NOT need to deal with in your hectic but morally and ethically sound life.
