Look at My Shorts III

Called David to see what he was doing today. I just didn't feel like going to Chinese class. I've been working a lot of hours outside of the regular work hours and needed a break from everything.

He said there was a short film festival Look At My Shorts III, over at the theaters near his apartment. I cleaned up and headed over to his place. We stopped off at Chipotle and ate and then headed over just in time for the start of the films. It was from 4pm to 8pm. There were 19 films ranging from just over a minute to just over 20 minutes with breaks every hour.

Some of the films were absolutely amazing. The last hour only had three films, all of which were shot on celluloid and then transferred to video. The last one, A Cold Blood is one that I will look into buying.

Henderbot

Andy did a little caricature of me and emailed it to me today.

I have a habit of wearing my headphones back on my head and he said it looked like Lobot from The Empire Strikes Back.

Cool, a second Andy original after the Gnome.

A Dozen Eggs Minus 1

If the year 2006 were a dozen eggs, one would already be gone. Oh, how the time does go.

I've been keeping a journal in a notebook - well, a couple of notebooks, and I do have entries for each day of the year. Will post them as time permits.
