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. Monday, Thursday, and Friday nights were dedicated to… Continue reading too busy

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
41.2 mpg
As a followup to this post I calculated the gas mileage for my most recent tank of gas on my motorcycle. It was 41.2 mpg this time. A little better than the 39.7 before, but still way below what I was hoping to get from a motorcycle. And this is a relatively small bike, with… Continue reading 41.2 mpg

Wildlands Restoration Volunteers
Here’s a photo of Beth and me, volunteering with WRV. It’s a group we belong to that does outdoors projects related to restoring wildlands. This photo was taken during a project a couple months ago. Beth was a crew leader, and I was a cook. That meant she walked around pulling invasive weeds and showing… Continue reading Wildlands Restoration Volunteers

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
