too busy

Geez, my life has been too busy lately, all in the pursuit of the arts. After finishing up the grueling 48 Hour Film Project that I told you a little about in the last blog post, I spent every night last week doing some other artistic stuff.

48 Hour Film Project

The film I co-wrote and directed for the 48 Hour Film Project is done!  The contest was this past weekend, starting at 7 PM on Friday and ending at 7:30 PM tonight.  And no, I don’t know why it ends at 7:30 and not 7:00 even.  But we were up late Friday night writing the… Continue reading 48 Hour Film Project

laughing my ass off

I forgot I had this album on my iPod, but I just dialed in “Loved Like a Milkshake” which is the tribute album to Wesley Willis.  I’m not sure I’ve even listened to this thing before, but I’m having a really hard time concentrating on work because I’m laughing so hard.  I highly recommend you… Continue reading laughing my ass off

China Sentences Official to Death for Corruption – New York Times

This is just hilariously ironic – and disgusting.  A senior official in the US is found to be corrupt and he gets his sentence commuted by his buddy the President, paying a $250,400 fine and being forced to live out his life as a high paid lobbyist.  A senior official in China is found to… Continue reading China Sentences Official to Death for Corruption – New York Times
