It has been brought to my attention that Jens...
And it makes me sad.
From Jens: “I picked home one last souvenir from South America, it’s called the H1N1 virus. Wrongfully known as the Swineflue.
I was crossing the Atlantic when things started getting really bad, the fever was hallucinogenic and shaking me like a leaf and I grabbed the sleeve of the Air France steward. “I’m not feeling well, I should see a...

WatchTrailer for “Micmacs A Tire-Larigot”, Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s first film since 2004.
Very, very excited.
Movie Idea:
Watchmen rip off entitled “The Pitchmen”:
People start killing off Tv pitchmen and infomercial spokesmen. After the murder of legendary pitchman Billy Mays, others such as Ron Popeil, Vince (of Shamwow and Slapchop fame), Billy Blanks, and Suzanne Sommers band together to try and solve the case.
Line for Trailer: “The city will cry out for a Shamwow to clean up these...
“But if you want to make a run for it, My love I’d cover you”
– Desaparecidos
This album will never get old.
Hey, Thanks
The fact check I just put in a 70 hour week to finish by tomorrow has been pushed back 1 week…as has the rest of my schedule for this show. This information would have been useful last week. If they try and take away my already planned and paid for vacation in light of this…well, you remember Waco? Yeah, picture something like that.
Fuck this place.

Is Michael Jackson Dead?!
What the fuck is going on today.
Edit: Pour one out for a smooth criminal.
Ok
It wasn’t that bad.
I found someone to tag along.
I got to be in a store full of the craziest crap then walk down to a Buffalo Bill-esque basement that looked like a garage sale threw up in it.
Stop for a hotdog at a stand up only little hotdog shack.
Now only 4 and half more hours of fact checking before I can go home.
Ugh
Today I have to drive all over the city getting props for the shoot tomorrow, then come back and fact check some more. Come on!
At least yesterday was very very very nice.
See you guys in like 4 hours.
Bowerbirds - Crooked Lust
But darling you seem...
Watchpeterostrander:
I invested in something I’ve been sorely in need of for the past few years. My work is taking me more into the area of web and graphic design, so I figured I’d pick this up now: a Wacom Intuos4 Medium Pen Tablet. It should arrive tomorrow.
The wonderfully talented Pete will be helping Hunter and I on a new web cartoon we’re writing (or have been thinking about writing for...
"What was that guys name? Griff?"
A question from Dan this weekend about a guy from work that showed up at my house to hang out.
Legitimate question followed by legitimate laughter.
“But it was not a guilty pleasure…just pleasure.”
– Jens Lekman after he covered Boyz II Men’s “Water Runs Dry”
Another Example of How I Am an Old Man:
I sat for twenty minutes yesterday in my old man lazy-boy chair fidgeting with my new camera. The fidgeting ended with me getting frustrated and exclaiming to Pete, “I can’t figure this damn thing out. There are too many buttons”.
Once I figure out how to fully use it I’ll post some pictures.
Edit: Idea for a self portrait series - Me dressed in old man attire doing...
How appropriate:
I can hear that the bar downstairs is playing “Only in Dreams”.
I gotta go to sleep.

Further evidence that “I’m on Fire” is a pretty damn good song.
Something I want to find at a Karaoke bar:
Bruce Springsteen - I’m on Fire
I don’t why but I often find myself Crooning it, Greg and Tim are witnesses. Let’s face it, the song is great.
