I’m going to step away from regular blog posting for the rest ifthe week while I do my damndest to make up for the lost time from the past 15 days.
With full time work at MVFF and the side project at YR starting up I know I’m going to loose momentum if I’m not careful.

Olympic Infamy

I’m not watching the Olympics this year. Not becuase I don’t care- it’s one of the few things in sports I still pay attention to- but because with each iteration of the games the Olympic ideals become more be more a joke- a kind of sarcastic afterthought for the IOC.
I was with a group of [...]

This one’s for Ben

Who probably won’t see it anyway, but it’s the thought that counts.

Just Shy Of Epic

I wouldn’t call today Epic- it takes a lot to cross that threshold in my book– but today has managed to be pretty intense. Let’s do the bullet points:

Half woke up an hour and a half before I usually do so that I could move my mattress back out of my room for the workman [...]

Out of necessity, a quick note

They say that ambition bites the nails of sucess.

Low Thinkin’; High Doin’ Day

I say this because it is clear- to me, at least- that we have entered the late decadent phase of the cable news/Internet driven mania that masqueades as [...]

The Week Ahead…

A quick thought about Dark Knight:
You know there’s a layer in there where the lesson is that even the “extraordinary [...]

16 Days Till…

I’m back behind a desk. This week is already looking jacked thanks to yet ANOTHER round of work being done at the apartment. Still, I’m confident that I have good tasks for Wedensday and Thursday. After all, I have to go record fx for the post-production at some point.

Wither This Way

Out at the Berkeley Marina, sitting in the car, facing the hills and doing my best to get into a meditative state of mind.
I struggle a lot with lack of confidence and fear of failure. Sometimes the later is completely paralyzing due to that wonderful phenomenon known as the ability gap. I’m not a rich [...]
