Yeah... its rough... but hey... when's the last time one of your friend was so in love with something that you wrote he learned how to do animation in order to bring it to semi-life? Yeah. I thought so.

My friend Greg has been working on animating "Special Criminals" into an animated pilot. Presumably for the Comedy Central pilot competition that is running right now. He sent me the audio for it and for the most part it is pretty good. Unfortunately Quicktime is an m-f-er and won't play the video for me. He sent me a screen shot instead. It ( Read more... )

 I recently heard the opening riff of The Magnetic Fields "I Think I Need A New Heart" on a dog food commercial.

On a good note I got my Decemberists tickets for October last week. It's strange to think that it is for AFTER I get back from Japan. That feels weird to me.

I also had a sweet ass zombie dream. Usually a major element of zombie dreams ( Read more... )

What ..... the hell... was that?

I wrote a much longer thrashing of the movie.. which isn't good in terms of anything like plot or story (although I did like the acting for the most part* and the directing) but we had a black out at work and it was lost to the ether.

Last Friday I flew up to Sacramento to spend some time with the family. After suffering SUFFERING through an hour delay in my flight we finally boarded. I like Southwest because it feels rustic. Like a wagon train to the sky. Folksy stewardesses, the earth tones, subtle cracks in the cheap plastic interior, this I believe is travel.  ( Read more... )

A bit of backstory. My sketch troupe Employee of the Month has become involved with a new comedy theater in Santa Monica, the Westide Eclectic 
A little while ago they announced a new show starting up called "WIFL" World Improv Federation League. I emailed the guy producing it and and said "Hey my troupe in the ( Read more... )

This was found in the inbox of an email address I haven't checked in months.

Dear Mom and Dad,
Well, some sad news came up last night.  Garth MacDonnald died late last night.  We all found out about it this morning.  Brad MacDonald was walking around looking for Brent and Steve to break it to them.  It is seriously quite the blow.  I mean, it is sad ( Read more... )

"I fell in love with a roller derby queen."

Saturday afternoon EOTM understudy Paul and I went to North Hollwyood for our first DERBY DOLLS MATCH!

We saw the Fight Crew take on the Tough Cookies.

Once you figure out the rules of Roller Derby it's actually much easier to cheer and get into it as a sport. Before that you just kind of watch the ( Read more... )
