yes, it's human.

After a crazy load of adventures this past weekend, you'd think I'd be on Cloud 9...whatever that used to mean. I've been feeling kind of emotionless and tired lately, which is better than depressed, but still not as awesome as 'living for the moment' or something. Anyway, before I bore you, internet readers, with Emo Tales starring Bitchy McWhineington, here's a recap of the last few days.

IMAGE DUMP!

Saturday - Sun, Z and I drove our cars out to Western NY. Only one of them came back. Sadly, this video is the last you'll ever see of ole' reliable IronHide. Veronica, an old friend from HighSchool, had a need and could meet my price. We spent a few hours catching up (she has a dog now) and called it a day. The rest of the weekend consisted of visiting parents and feeding our nostalgia. And haircuts. Good times.

Hidden in her parents' house was an old BetaMax video (BlueRay IS the new BetaMax, btw) starring a 5 year-old Z and her Dad making a cake! This was 1/2 enlightening, and 1/2 cute as hell. The interesting parts revolved around us realizing that her Dad, who we had assumed picked up his negative personality from his horrible car accident, was exactly the same as he is now, all those years prior. The irresistably cute Z .. . well, I'll just let you see for yourself. Eventually she knocks over the flour-filled bowl by accident and runs off crying. Cooking, it seemed, was SERIOUS BUSINESS.

I had a couple days off to relax and catch up on the 'other' responsibilities I've picked up over the last weeks. Gotta build that website, man! Gotta edit them trailers, son! Before the end of the week I'll have accomplished some of what I set out to do but still feel a mite empty inside...maybe this amazingly comfortable life is starting to effect me in strange new ways...then again maybe I'm just not getting enough oxygen at night. We'll see.


btw . . . GO SABRES!!!!

more vid fun

has anybody been tracking this? I thought it was a rumor, that it would never come to fruition, but here it is.

For awhile we all thought that Nick Cage was going to be the worst Superman ever, but now he's bringing a way lesser-known cult comic hero to the silver screen. Go fig.

!!!!!! Wait, wait wait, no, THIS ONE

honestly, if I had seen this before I gave that interview about the Internet and MeMes, I SO would have referenced this!!!


YOU ARE A PIRATE!!

yes.

At the end of this week, I have learned an important lesson about the industry.


COMMERCIALS ARE AWESOME!



More pay, less hours, crew is streamlined and unionized, and hey! You get to do something totally wacky for a few days and then move on to the next one! With just three days of work (and most of it was the easiest work I've had to date) I earned enough to pay rent. Money in the B-A-N-K, son!

Hey! Got pics! (image dump)


April 1st - Deer appeared outside my Watervliet apt, as if the forest was saying goodbye the day I moved.


April-ish - Our first dinner together in the new place!


May 13 - Falun Gong Day - check "Heavenly Flute Dance" vid


May 13 - Religious factions face off in Times Square... seriously, this was a hilarious sight. Firstly, the guys on the right are militant Islam or Jewish or something. They have stars of David bracelets and other crazy bodyarmor, and boy do they love to shout verses from the Old Testament! The guy on the left has a t-shirt that speaks peace, and his soft voice was really messing with 3/4ths of the group. The other 1/4 just shouted crap at him. When I arrived, a huge crowd of onlookers had gathered.


Still May 13th - There wasn't a huge crowd for these religious folk, tho...what a shame. Their sound was heavenly......oh how I miss church choirs.......anyway, they were Mennonites (note the shoes and backpacks) and their pamphlets told me I was going to Hell.


May 14th - I was interviewed by the very lovely, very talented team of Janine and 'Bits' (and while her name sounded like that, I'm sure it's spelled way cooler) for Janine's documentary about violent images, the web, and other things. For me, it was ridiculously fun! I got to rant and rant about something very near and dear, the Internet, while showing off my vast, geeky knowledge about memes and media literacy. Here's hoping they use more than a couple of my nuggets!


Finally, here's the IFC Center bathroom. I...thought it was a cool bathroom. Trin, Dan and I went to the 12pm showing of 'Ran' by Akira Kurosawa. It was phenominal, Netflix it!

hey internet.

Z and I just a bucket o sushi, which she says is cool because us young people have to get it while we can! We're hip, we're childless and working, we might as well eat real well once a week (when our schedules allow.)

Today was Free Comic Day all over America, and I'm guessing you missed out. Every shop in Manhattan had a different variety of books they were handing out, mostly promotional stuff, but a cool treat for making the trip. We made off like bandits, btw. Z and I went to 7 different shops, from corporate book stores to holes in walls hocking HeroClix. By the end of our adventure, our backpacks were full and her thighs were seizing up from the activity. Did I mention we walked the entire thing? Oh yeah, our thighs are hardcore.

Stop by our apt sometime, we have comics for reading.

Friday I worked a day on a project that I can't say the name of, helping out their VFX testing. During this time I became more familiar with Keyno lights, the Grenwich Village, City Hall, J&R's, and the awesomeness of electronic stores in Manhattan.

Case in point: we needed a fisheye lens for the Panasonic HVX200 (the one I've had my eye on), so where do we go? Blah&Blah's Random Photo/Electronics Store! Later we shot some 'tests' in another electronic store, which was also stocked full of expensive goodies that cater to film crews, and I was again amazed by the variety of items.

btw, I beat Beyond Good and Evil today. I highly recommend it if you haven't played or heard of it yet; it is seriously one of the best stories you'll play through on the PS2. Like all other cult hits it's ironically 'too good' for the mainstream to notice it. While the story's end gears up for a sequel, that day will never come. Se la vie.

Hey world.

I say with every ounce of sincerity that I am reaping the benefits of hard work. I got a referral to a one-day gig tomorrow, which breaks up my weekend of waiting for my next month-long gig (also a referral) to commence.

For the month of May, I'll be working on a film called "Broken English", which has some pretty recognizable talent. I signed some paperwork that probably means I can get in trouble for spilling the beans over the Internet, so I'll keep hush-hush until I know my exact boundaries.

Everything good is happening! For my efforts tomorrow I am going to buy some swank FluVogs, which should help me maintain feet awesomeness throughout the next few years. There are so many stories that happen every single day of my life here - and never enough time to catalogue them on my blog - that I am constantly looking back at weeks past to think: "man, was that really only two weeks ago?" Time passes so quickly when you're busy, busy, busy.
