cLever cLever Is fuLL of surprIses, aLbum reLease sHow comIng up

When talking about hardcore punk, the first words that come to mind aren’t typically “love” or “love songs,” but Scranton band Clever Clever refuses to fit in a neat little box. The group’s upcoming full-length album, Love, is ready to hit your ears on Saturday, Oct. 17 with an album release party at The Bog, 341 Adams Avenue, starting at 9 p.m.

If you listen to “Changes,” one of the four songs on the band’s 2014 release engineered by Eric Ritter of Windmill Studios, you might think the song is going to take a turn to electronica, but it swiftly changes and takes the listener by surprise.

“There’s a common thread or a common energy in the songs, but the sounds and the tone color we have can vary so much that it has people guessing,” said Michael Hurst, one of the band’s guitar players. “My best effort at narrowing it down to the genre would be like a post-punk, posthardcore pop.”

Aside from Hurst, Clever Clever consists of Gabe Fasciana (drums), Aaron Ferranti (vocals), Dave Senecal (bass, synth) and Anthony Magraner (guitar). The band with two names originally started in 2014 with four members with Magraner joining the group in 2015.

“Anthony was playing in another local band,” Hurst said. “We’d play different shows with them and he was looking to get involved with something and so it just kind of happened. We weren’t looking for another member, but he said, ‘Hey, I love seeing you guys. I love your style. If you’re looking for an extra role or you have something to fill, I’d love to be a part of it.’ At the time, we were four people and we were content with that — but when he sat in with us — we realized he was definitely a piece we were missing. We didn’t know we needed him.”

The band’s first release was recorded even before they had played any live shows, but Love will be their first full-length EP, also engineered and mastered by Ritter. The new album — a true collaboration — promises the same chemistry with the same stubborn refusal to fit into any one subgenre since each player has a hand in creating each song.

“Even in our previous bands, we didn’t all have

Hardcore Love

a common background, so we all have a punk, a ska-punk, a hardcore or a metalcore sound,” Hurst said. “It’s all those previous experiences that just mesh together to give us sounds that complement each other,” “The best thing about it is I’m surprised,” Hurst added. “Whether I write a melody or a chord progression and I try to start a song, I already have a bias in my head about where the song will go, but we don’t direct anyone else to go toward what’s in our heads and the end result is we have a song together.”

“It’s definitely a little different sounding than the [four-song] EP,” Hurst said. “In the earlier days, I felt like we would have gone a little more progressive hardcore-type direction. But with Love, we didn’t go that path,” Hurst continued. “We went more toward the pop side of it. It’s not as aggressive.”

And as for the record title, Love?

“You wouldn’t normally associate that with this type of music,” Hurst admitted. “Every song on the album has to deal with love in some way. So we kind of noticed that was a common thread among all the songs we were choosing. It could be a good or a bad situation, but they all revolve around love.

The idea of love ties the songs together. Love, love for other people and love for the music.”

“Make your own narrative by what we mean by love,” Hurst suggested.

So, what does the future hold for Clever Clever?

“I think we’re looking forward to enjoying not having the stress of recording and putting together an album and everything that’s involved with it,” Hurst said while laughing. “We all have families and day jobs. We’re looking for opportunities to play in and around Scranton, branch out across the state, New York and New Jersey. We’d like to get in front of more people. I’m very aware that our sound doesn’t fit neatly in any one genre and the tone of the songs from one to another displays quite a bit of variance. The best thing is for people to give it a chance and let it get stuck in their heads. There are definitely catchy parts of this album that get stuck in my head and I hope that’s true for everyone else.”

Steve Jobs Michael Fassbender, Kate Winslet In this R-rated bio-pic based on the best-selling book by Walter Isaacson, screenwriter Aaron Sorkin (Moneyball) and director Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire) present the tumultuous true story of the founder and innovator behind Apple (Fassbender). The Plus: The players. The last time that we saw Steve Jobs on the big screen, the project “boasted” the participation of actors Ashton Kutcher (CBS’s Two and Half Men) and Josh Gad (Pixels), director Joshua Michael Stern (Swing Vote) and first-time screenwriter Matt Whiteley. While Jobs someway somehow went on to gross more than $25 million on a budget of $12 million, the film universally got trounced by critics and filmgoers alike, which gives the much higher regarded Steve Jobs free rein to eradicate any memory of its forebear. Fast becoming a New York Times Pan and Amazon bestseller, Isaacson’s Steve Jobs also got recognized by Time Magazine, The Christian SciHugh Jackman, Levi Miller ence Monitor and The Financial Times as one of the best nonfiction books of 2011. The adaptation truly In this PG-rated fantasy-adventure, an orphan (Miller) gets spirited away to Neverland, where he boasts the participation of screenwriter Sorkin (who already charted a fascinating real-life tech story in the finds danger at the hands of Blackbeard (Jackman) and ultimately discovers his destiny — to become award-winning The Social Network) and director Boyle (who already documented one man’s harrowing the hero who will forever be known as Peter Pan.

OPENING THIS WEEK

The Walk Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Charlotte Le Bon In this PG-rated drama based on true events, director Robert Zemekis (Back to the Future, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?) presents the story of French high-wire artist Philippe Petit’s (Gordon-Levitt) attempt to cross the twin towers of Manhattan’s World Trade Center in 1974. The Plus: The source material. Based on James Marsh’s celebrated, award-winning 2008 documentary Man on Wire, this narrative adaptation boasts a cast including Gordon-Levitt (Don Jon), Le Bon (The Hundred-Foot Journey), Sir Ben Kingsley (Exodus: Gods and Kings) and James Badge Dale (World War Z). Most importantly, after years of helming computer animation (The Polar Express, Beowulf, Christmas Carol), The Walk marks Zemekis’ follow-up to Flight, his award-nominated return to live-action filmmaking. The Minus: The spectacle. PG-rated and shot in 3D, The Walk might not garner the respect of critics come awards time or from filmgoers used to getting their IMAX extravaganzas less hard hitting (Terminator Genisys).

Sicario Emily Blunt, Josh Brolin HHHH — Wonder Drug In this R-rated thriller, an idealistic FBI agent (Blunt) gets enlisted by an elected government task force to aid in the escalating war against drugs along the U.S. and Mexico borders. Killing audiences like its Spanish namesake, tightly coiled thriller Sicario might be topical by proxy but boasts a white-hot who-done-what at its red-hot center. If “Master of Suspense” Alfred Hitchcock made a Mexican terrorism actioner, it would look a lot like this. Call it Crosstown Traffic, Steven Soderbergh’s already timely drug drama made even timelier by an escalating narcotics war down south and framed with direction that’s every bit as knowing and edgy. Though the set pieces stop your heart, your mind can’t help but keep going at a feverish pace, always on the lookout for the next double cross or stray bullet. It constricts you from the get-go for a long con, but Sicario’s serpentine scheme never disappoints. Through the eyes of the sometimes naive but rarely helpless agent Kate (an ace performance by Emily Blunt), Taylor Sheridan’s script pits filmgoers in the midst of a deadly war that oftentimes seems pointless, but the drive of the characters keeps you fully bullet-proof vested. Denis Villenueve’s taut atmospheric direction takes center stage, however. The Prisoners’ helmer makes a Hitchcockian thriller without a Hitch. It’s his own baby, killer turns and all.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You have been flirting with your “alone at the top” reveries. I won’t be surprised if one night you have a dream of riding on a Ferris wheel that malfunctions, leaving you stranded at the highest point.

What’s going on? Here’s what I suspect: In one sense you are zesty and farseeing. Your competence and confidence are waxing. At the same time, you may be out of touch with what’s going on at ground level. Your connection to the depths is not as intimate as your relationship with the heights. The moral of the story might be to get in closer contact with your roots. Or be more attentive to your support system.

So eight weeks ago I was surprised when a renegade sunflower began blooming in the dirt next to my porch. How did the seed get there? Via the wind? A passing bird that dropped a potential meal? The gorgeous interloper eventually grew to a height of four feet and produced a boisterous yellow flower head. Every day I muttered a prayer of thanks for its guerrilla blessing. I predict a comparable phenomenon for you in the coming days, Aquarius.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The coming days will be a favorable time to dig up what has been buried. You can, if you choose, discover hidden agendas, expose deceptions, see beneath the masks and dissolve delusions. But it’s my duty to ask you this: Is that really something you want to do? It would be fun and sexy to liberate so much trapped emotion and suppressed energy, but it could also stir up a mind-bending ruckus that propels you on a healing quest. I hope you decide to go for the gusto, but I’ll understand if you prefer to play it safe.

The haunT SpoT 2015 ReapeR’S Revenge 460 gReen gRove Road, ScRanTon reapersrevenge.net

R

eaper’s Revenge (RR) Haunted attraction holds a special place in our hearts as we’ve spent quite a bit of time visiting it. RR opened its doors to us by inviting us behind the scenes on more than one occasion and we have witnessed first-hand the level of work and creativity placed into this attraction every year. RR uses feedback from actors and the public to continuously improve and change its show throughout the season. Every night, actors and staff members discuss what improvements need to be made, encourage each other to up their performance and address any pressing issues with the attraction’s operation. The actors and designers of this attraction continuously strive to implement strategies that scare, incorporate paranoia and, at times, make guests laugh along their visit. The diversity in attractions and unique interactions with talented actors adds excitement to the experience as all of the staff members are focused on providing guests with a quality show.

RR consists of four connected haunted attractions for a $35 admission (VIP upgrade options are available). RR has added multiple upgrades this year and several new scenes to its “Haunted Hayride,” expanded the “Lost Carnival” attraction and augmented the intensity level of “Sector 13.” The attraction is bound to become extremely crowded and we suggest you visit early in the season to avoid long wait times. We attended on its opening night and still had a considerable wait to get onto the wagon and to be picked up after the Lost Carnival. The popularity of this attraction continues to grow and is a must visit this Halloween season.

The Haunted Hayride has undergone several upgrades and changes for the 2015 haunt season.

RR has entirely revamped the opening scene, adding an impressive custom-built castle which incorporates fantastic pyrotechnics to set the mood for an exciting hayride experience. The Haunted Hayride has also added several additional new scenes this year, including an impressive “pumpkin” forest scene in which large-scale evil pumpkins glare at guests. The traditional scenes have also been tweaked to add to the attraction, including an entertaining interaction between the mountains familiar “hillbilly” family. While the attraction is not particularly scary, it does have impressive set

designs and themes which cater to more casual haunted-attraction fans. Famous movie monsters and scenes from such movies as The Ring still are a part of this attraction, along with a familiar and entertaining visit to “Stanley’s Farm.” The attraction’s tweaks, massive new set designs and existing quality set pieces make the Haunted Hayride an entertaining and at times creepy, experience.

The Haunted Hayride has the potential to enhance its scare level for more mature haunt fans if it were to add some key actors in some of the less populated areas along the trail. Perhaps a few actors at the abandoned “Camp Crystal Lake” site, or along the pumpkin trail can confuse unsuspecting guests. Also, the hayride has added a creepy and strange tribal/sacrifice scene which starts out with a bang and ends rather flat. Without spoiling the scene, actors yielding tribal masks appear to be ready to sacrifice a helpless “victim” who interacts with guests on the wagon. The scene plays itself out as one which would be of horror-movie quality, then ends rather abruptly. A more fitting end to such a fantastic new scene will boost its effectiveness.

Finally, each year we mention the actual ending of the hayride as one set we wish would see some changes. We have found out that many guests enjoy the visit with the “Reaper” at the end of the attraction and were pleased to see the intensity of this scene increased last year. Last year, the “Reaper” was insane, the monster shook the cart, it chased after the cart and did a great job at ending the hayride. This year, much to our joy, the “Reaper” once again displayed aggressive behavior and intensity, chasing after the wagon as it departed the forest.

The Lost Carnival attraction at RR is one of the most unique outdoor walk-through trails you can visit for the 2015 haunt season. The reason for its uniqueness and possibly one-of-a-kind setting, is the props and sets were at one time functional rides. From dilapidated merry-go rounds, to a sky-ride, the authenticity of the set designs adds to the surreal experience. The Lost Carnival has also added additional walk-through segments to the funhouse set and the actors of this attraction continue to be some of the best at using improvisation to interact with each guest. The Lost Carnival also

boasts one of the most intense, claustrophobic sets in any haunted attraction. As guests pass through the “Tunnel of Love,” the use of slow strobe lights, loud techno music and tight spaces builds a level of tension that is hard to replicate in most outdoor attractions. A stronger ending to the Lost Carnival would make this portion one of the tensest experiences in any haunted attraction.

The interactive aspect of the Lost Carnival allows guests to play various carnival “games,” and allows the actors to set a tone for each scare. The carnival barker before the Tunnel of Love promotes a ride on the abandoned “roller coaster,” encourages guests to explore a clown-filled funhouse and enter into the Tunnel of Love. Furthermore, the soundtracks utilized during this attraction add to the experience as guests hear the sounds of rides and creepy carnival music as they move along the trail. Actors are well hidden within the darkness and lifelike props make it difficult to differentiate between what is “real” and not real. We wish this trail was even longer and hope to see an ending that fits the level of tension which is built up throughout the attraction.

After visiting so many haunted attractions and experiencing more “extreme” or mature haunts, we must admit that we have become slightly desensitized to being scared during our visits. However, the Pitch Black maze continues to do the trick as the use of darkness, loud noises and extremely tight spaces is still panic inducing. Guests once again were crying and screaming to get out, could not fathom whether or not what they touched was “alive,” and were freaked out by the hidden actors.

Pitch Black has not let up its level of intensity, it does not baby sit guests who become trapped within its confines. Other dark mazes we have visited incorporate arrows or limited light to help guests escape. Pitch Black does not afford this option. The attraction overloads guest’s senses incorporating loud noises, buzzing, strobe lights and interactive sets to promote fear. We have witnessed guests cry and beg to get out, have been run into plenty of times and never are let down by this attraction.

What most people do not know is how detailed this attraction actually is. When viewed with the “lights on” there are scenes and designs including spiders

and other interactive props that are only felt by guests and never viewed. Most would likely think this attraction is simply a dark maze, yet the level of detail in development of the attraction is on par with the other haunts found at RR. We hope to see continued growth of Pitch Black and despite multiple visits we still get lost in the darkness.

Sector 13, a custom post-apocalyptic metallic structure, was added to RR in 2014. The attraction proved popular with guests, as it is the most interactive and aggressive attraction found at RR. This year, the actors turned up the intensity level to make it even more exhausting. Guests were thrown on hospital tables, locked in cages and screamed at by barking guards, all while being disoriented by strobe lights, fog and the effective use of lighting. At some points it is almost impossible to see what monsters lurk throughout this compound and the sensory overload of loud sound, sirens and helicopters are perfect non-stop distractions. “Sector 13” forces guests to play an interactive role in the attraction and the actors, from mutated victims, to demented doctors, do a phenomenal job at generating fear.

RR should be an annual visit for any haunted attraction fan this season. The attraction grows and improves throughout the year and uses feedback in ways that most attractions don’t.

Pros: RR incorporates diverse themes and sets which cater to wide array of haunt fans. The improved Haunted Hayride has additional scenes for the 2015 season. Sector 13’s actors are more aggressive and intense than ever. Lost Carnival is a surreal experience and Pitch Black continues to use darkness as a chief architect of fear.

Cons: Wait time may be long for those who do not attend early in the season or upgrade to a VIP pass. Haunted Hayride could use a few more actors to add surprises to the impressive new scenes.

Should you visit in 2015?: Yes. Please be advised that this attraction continues to grow in popularity.

Up Close & personal a stuntwoman speaks On screens big and small, stunt performers keep audiences captivated with death-defying moves. Kingston native Heidi Germaine Schnappauf has appeared in films and TV shows performing stunts seen by millions of viewers. Her credits include hugely popular TV series like Person of Interest, Blacklist and The Following, on screen in blockbuster films such as The Amazing SpiderMan 2 and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Her most recent work will be on screen in the new Ghostbusters reboot and the upcoming Marvel series Jessica Jones on Netflix.

Schnappauf worked her way into the industry with persistence and sweat and, earlier this year, was sidelined by an on-set injury. Recovery hasn’t stopped her from working, though: Schnappauf directed Next to Normal for the Misfit Players and Act Out Theater Group in Taylor. We had a chance to talk to Schnappauf about getting into the stunt business, risking life and limb and what it’s like to be a stunt performer.

I started working there and doing little side jobs when I was in high school.

So you started out with conventional theater work.

I went to Wilkes University for a year for musical theater and then I transferred to NYU for acting.

I ended up meeting a lot of people in the film department. When you’re an actor, they’re always looking for people to help on projects. I did a lot of projects with fight scenes, because I have a fighting background. I started getting really into that part of it and driving. I love driving — I was always that kid who would go into parking lots and do donuts in the winter. I like all that stuff and I got really good at it.

I went to stunt school after college, after I was out of acting for a little while. I wanted to do something more physical — I did Anne Frank in this area and right after that I was like, ‘I’ve got to do something else, this isn’t enough.’

You made your way from ‘acting-acting’ to stunts?

I have a very physical background, so as far as body mechanics and moving on stage and moving your body around, it’s like a dance. Even basketball is just like a dance. It’s a funny story — I worked on the show Person of Interest. Jim Caviezel is the lead guy and every time I talked to him, he told me how basketball was a key to his acting success.

Every move that you do on the court, there are counter moves. You pivot, you move your feet, it’s exciting — it’s almost the same thing with martial How did you get into the stunt business? arts and I have a background in both. It’s funny that I grew up in Kingston. I started karate when I was five years old. My brother was my first teacher. he mentioned that to me and I said “Yeah, I play basketball too!” Here I am with Jim Caviezel on the Then around six years old, I enrolled at Sakura Person of Interest set basically playing invisible Martial Arts in Kingston. I did karate my whole childhood, up until college and even during college, basketball with each other. I had to fake-fight him I would come back in the summer and take classes. a few times for different characters and different things I was doing. So I got to know him and it’s I was also an athlete. I played basketball, softball, funny that he made that connection. track and field. I was a total music geek. I was in When I was a kid, I would always do fight jazz band, concert band, marching band — I played scenes.

I’d go to the park with all my karate friends several instruments. and we’d make up fight scenes. And we wouldn’t I had to nearly sneak into my first play audition. stop at just a fight scene. We’d start practicing I had always wanted to do a play, but my dad throwing each other and falling down stairs. We’d wasn’t too keen on me doing it. I started doing go to my house and I’d pretend like I’dbeen shot theater and it was a great outlet for me. I was kind and I’d roll down the steps and was totally doing of lost and a little bit socially awkward in high stunts — I had no idea. I just thought I was doing school. But I always got along with the musicians stuff I liked to do.

I wanted to be in movies and be — and the jocks — but all in a different way, it an actress and do all this crazy action-y stuff. was a little awkward. Theater seemed to be a place where I was not awkward. I found that when I was Once you realized you wanted to work in stunt about 14. I went to Encore Music Camp back when performance, how did you get into it professionally? it was at Wilkes and I fell in love with every aspect I literally just Googled it. It just hit me one of it. I’m a very hard worker and very determined, day.

“I want to do all of these stunts and stuff, I so I soaked up every aspect by talking to all of wonder if there’s a school?” I searched and found the people in the area who were the best at it at this place called Kahana Stunt School in Florida. It the time. I’d go in and help paint, help with sets.

/CULTURE

looks kind of janky, kind of dirty — in a good way.

It’s in a guy’s backyard in Florida, this 80-year old stunt guy teaching people how to do stunts oldschool. Honestly, I learned so much. It was about a six-week program. It was basically boot camp for the first half of the day. We’d run, we’d work out, do obstacle courses until lunch. The second half of the day, after we were all tired, we’d do a skill: rappelling, trampoline work to learn how to center your body during high falls and the safety that’s required. It was like a safety/skill boot camp. It was awesome. It’s not required for everyone to do that — some people just train with each other, like networking — but that’s how I started, everyone starts differently. From there it was constant networking. I met people, then they introduced me to other people, then they introduced me to people.

I’m very persistent, if nothing else. I’m very persistent with whatever I’m doing, I always want to do the best and I always want to find the best people.

They say that you are who you hang out with and I want to hang out with the best because I want to be the best. I found out who the best were and I trained with them in California. I moved out to Los Angeles, trained with the best and listened a lot. I learned to listen and be patient and quiet and then a couple years into stunts, I started working more. All of a sudden, it just kind of clicked.

I remember my stunt school teacher said “You do so many things. You do too many things. You need to focus on one thing. If you want to do musical theater, do musical theater. If you want to do music, do music. You can always have a hobby, but you need to put all your focus into one thing to succeed.” I never forgot that. So I put all my focus and all my attention into stunts. And sure enough, he was right — I got my first movie within my first year of moving to Los Angeles.

Heidi Germaine Schnappauf

How do you find gigs in stunt performance?

It’s all 100-percent networking. It’s who you know, it’s who you train with and it’s by recommendation. You get hired by a stunt coordinator and part of me almost thinks it’s a better way of casting for stunt performers. You come in already with a standard in and of itself — there’s no test or stunt license or anything like that unless you have a specialty, like S.C.U.B.A. or, if you’re rigging, you need certification for certain things. As far as being a stunt performer, I almost think it’s the best — it’s a very personal thing, it’s how someone performs.

It’s not like you’re an actor and you can audition for a role with a bunch of other people trying different From NYU to Florida to Los Angeles in a few years? things.

My first job back here was on The Following, then I got The Amazing performers — is there additional pressure as a woman in the field?

Spider-Man 2 and on from there.

Here’s the funny thing: Ginger Rogers said she did everything Fred Astaire did except backwards and in high heels. It’s pretty much the same thing with stuntwomen. We do all the same things the guys do with less clothing and fewer pads. Guys doing stair falls — you know what they’re wearing?

Suits, long sleeves, long pants. Women? Oh, you’re going to wear tight nightgown or short-shorts and a tank top. And you’re going to do a stair fall and you can’t really put pads on under any of that. So I compare it to that whole Ginger Rogers thing for sure.

What attracts you to stunt work?

When you do acting, it’s always a different job of course. But when you do stunts, you always work in different locations. I am not a stay-in-one place person, I’ve tried that. I would go crazy. I am a very hard worker and have a good work ethic, so when I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do in college, when everyone is trying to figure it out, I knew that theater was at least a good start.

It’s not your average 9-to-5. I was a waitress for eight years — waitress is kind of synonymous with actress. I was getting anxious doing that, like “Why am I even doing this?” So then I thought about personal training. That’s at least not a desk job, you can make your own schedule, it’s a creative process for me, something I could do to earn money that wouldn’t drive me nuts. So I did that

and I thought acting was nice, but then I realized what stunts were and what kind of a career it would be — I could use not only my body, but my brain.

I have to plan my workouts, I have to know my strengths, know how much time to spend on my strengths, learn new skills, new methods of doing things, expand my skillset. You’re always learning something new, you’re always trying to be better, there’s always something else out there to learn, not only physically, but safety-wise. You can learn new techniques and how to use tech line and how to tie off ropes, how to use a harness properly.

New harnesses, old harnesses, rigging equipment, there’s always something to learn. That’s another thing that attracted me to it, the learning is never going to end.

I started stunt driving about five years ago. I really started taking it seriously. I went to Drivers East performance driving school, took their course and I’ve been working with them ever since to get better. That’s going to be a lifelong thing. You don’t even get a job your first 10 years essentially unless it’s something minor. I had my first stunt driving job in January of this year and I’d been doing it five years. It was a small job, but I was nervous as hell.

I don’t consider myself a stunt driver yet. I was right for that one role, that small thing, but I’m not in the 10-year club yet.

pSycHoloGIcally Sound StraIGHt talk from SyndIcated columnISt amy alkon

Hurl, Interrupted Six years ago, I was dating this guy on the East Coast. He and I share a deep love of the arts.

We started arguing on the sidewalk and I got so upset that I vomited all over myself. He refused to drive me home or let me back into his apartment to change. Finally, he gave me a pair of pants, but he made me change in the stairwell. Shortly afterward, I moved out west. I told him I still loved him and couldn’t get him out of my system, but his response was downright cruel. Eventually, I fell in love with my current boyfriend. Well, East Coast Guy now wants me back. I do miss our mutual passion for theater and art. (West Coast Guy isn’t interested in attending artistic events.) However, I’ve had poor job-hunting luck and I’m fearful about my financial future and West Coast Guy recently made me his heir. I’m tortured. Should I give East Coast Guy another chance?

— Torn Psychoanalyst Erich Fromm wrote that mature love is “I need you because I love you.” Rather different from “I need you because I don’t want to be living in a packing crate when I’m 50.”

As for the love you could have … it seems that — awww! — even now, East Coast Guy wants to be the reason you walk home alone in an upchuckdecorated dress. (Sell framed, numbered snippings and it’s art!) Your entertaining a re-up with a guy who treated you so cruelly is bizarre — unless you consider a psychological gotcha called “the Zeigarnik effect.” Social psychologists Roy Baumeister and Brad Bushman explain that when a task or goal gets interrupted, the automatic, unconscious part of our brain keeps pinging the conscious part, nagging us to finish up whatever we’ve left incomplete.

(Unfortunately, our subconscious is only interested in getting the thing finished, not whether the guy in question is a complete douche-iopath.)

A way to shut off the Zeigarnik effect is to complete the incomplete thing — like by ending it for good with East Coast Guy or maybe picking up where you left off. But before you do the latter, consider another factor that’s surely in effect here — the cognitive bias of “selective perception.” This is our tendency to go all forgetsenheimer’s about the stuff that’s emotionally uncomfortable (ego battering, for example). Shoving it in some mental closet allows us to focus on more appealing beliefs,

Teligence/18+

like “I can always count on him — to share my enthusiasm for gallery openings where everybody has complicated hair.”

Real love draws lines in how somebody treats you — how even when they’re angry, they act lovingly (assuming you haven’t, say, sauteed their parrot and served it up with a side of peas). As for whether you need a more arts-going man, that’s something to figure out before you get all relationshippy with somebody who’d rather stay home watching YouTube videos of a raccoon riding a Roomba. But also consider that life involves trade-offs, like maybe going to arts events with a friend instead of demanding that your partner meet your every need like a giant human Costco: “Love me, leave me money and live to attend haunting performance art, like a woman reading a Chinese takeout menu for nine hours straight and then clipping her toenails and lighting them on fire.”

Grope SprInGS eternal I’ve always been a sexual free spirit, but I’d like to get serious with this guy I’ve been dating. Is it ever good to tell a guy about other guys you’ve slept with recently or who are still nosing around?

I think it might make a guy feel you’re desirable and commit, but my guy friends say it’s really off-putting.

— Just Wondering

For a woman, finding somebody to have sex with is about as hard as finding an Indian guy running a 7-Eleven. Yay, huh? Uh … except for how harshly women get judged for being “sexual free spirits.” This comes out of what anthropologists call “paternity uncertainty” — the fear men evolved to have that they’ll be bringing home the bison to feed a kid who’ll be passing on the genes of Mr. Monobrow in the next lean-to. So men take issue with women who get around, whereas for men, there’s no such thing as “stud shaming.” In other words, never tell who or how many. And by the way, some guys claim they’ll be okay with knowing — just before they start keeping you up all night with questions like “Was it recent?” “Was there overlap?” and “Was this BEFORE you got Lasik?”

The reality is, a boyfriend will want to believe that your body is a temple — and not the sort that’s been an international tourist hot spot with a eunuch outside operating one of those little clickers.

Psycho sudoku “grEatEr-than sudoku”

PuZZlE PagE

For this “Greater-Than Sudoku,” I’m not givin’ you ANY numbers to start off with!! Adjoining squares in the grid’s 3x3 boxes have a greater-than sign (>) telling you which of the two numbers in those squares is larger.

Fill in every square with a number from 1–9 using the greater-than signs as a guide. When you’re done, as with a normal Sudoku, every row, column and 3x3 box will contain the numbers 1–9 exactly one time.

(Solving hint: try to look for the 1s and 9s in each box first, then move on to the 2s and 8s and so on).
