Hey, I have to post this excitement. After posting a website for my latest and only film (so far) and sending out a mass email to everyone I know, I’ve received such acclaim that even if it doesn’t get into either of the festivals, I’ll be happy about making the film. And that’s only after … [Read more…]
When I woke up on the morning of September 11, 2001 to the radio describing the attack on the Twin Towers, my first vocal response was “Bush is bombing his own country to start a war.” Since then, it has only cost $287 billion and nearly 2500 US Soldiers to kill 40,000 Iraqi civilians (yeah, … [Read more…]

Saturday – I accidentally delete a scene from the film I’m working on. This just means redoing about 4 hours of work. Sunday – I have a headache. Then while we’re at church in the evening, our house is robbed of more than $8000 worth of stuff. Monday – I’m in a daze because I … [Read more…]
I bought a desk and an office chair with my Ralph Bucks. It’s surprising how clean my desk stays having drawers and shelves to put things. I spend about half my work week at the desk too, so Amber thought it wise for me to have a comfortable chair. Hey, I’m going to be thirty … [Read more…]
I read the Oscar nominations today. I just can’t get over some of the nominations – hilarious! That guy from 90210. That chick from Pirates of the Caribbean. A song called “It’s hard out here for a pimp.” You know what this means don’t you? It means that there is a chance for me to … [Read more…]
I’m so stoked! We are not of this world. (is “stoked” outdated? if it is, great! it’s time for a comeback – like fab! weirded out! groovy! and perhaps the most tubular of them all: gnarly!)
Went to town-killer tonight to see if there were any good headphones there, there weren’t. But Wal-Mart has this three foot deep bin full of $7.88 DVDs. Of course, when you’re as addicted as I am to owning all good films on DVD, you must see every title. I realized and pondered my own addictive … [Read more…]
It’s beginning. I’m tackling the monstrosity of producing a documentary. The bike trip is too important not to edit well and share with others. My goal is to submit it to a film festival this fall. I have completed 5 of 9 interviews so far and I’ve captured all of the video footage from the … [Read more…]
Alan, Randy and Nic came out Saturday and we enjoyed homemade mint ice cream, sparkling French grape juice and my new game courtesy of 5040 Garnier. It took us a while to get into the groove of the game because it’s so new to us. I’ve downloaded a computerized version of Tarot (not the tea … [Read more…]
