Stoners and Cephalopods

"Super High Me" is getting great reviews every which way, which is just so fulfilling after all the headaches and diligent hard work the crew put into it. In case you, loyal readership, didn’t know, IFC is trying to spearhead a grassroots movement to "Roll Your Own Screening" of Super High Me. Basically, you host a screening of the movie on 4/20 or something at a comed club, bar, or your house. Go find out more at Superhighmemovie.com

What am I working on now? A whole bunch of odds and ends: still working with the endlessly funny and charming Ryan and Brian of 3ManGroup on a few projects; Andy and Scott have a show on SuperDeluxe.com (premiering right at the beginning of summer) that we’re shooting the next few weeks; a bit more freelance work for Samantha Who on ABC; …

Oh yeah, I got hired at STAN WINSTON STUDIO.

The only thing that is way more awesome kickass better than the work that I get to do there is that the people couldn’t be nicer and more helpful and dedicated. It’s amazing. I wish I could say more, but I cannot. I’ll try and post pictures if I’m ever allowed to take any of the work that we do.

And lastly (speaking of SuperDeluxe.com), holy goddamn, watch this video from Hard N’ Phirm my friend Neil Mahoney directed.

Why my eyes are tired

Today was one of the best days of my entire life so far, and I just want it to end. It sort of took a swoop downwards this evening because I'm working two demanding jobs this weekend that are pounding me to the ground.

The first, I'm sorry to say, is one of the greatest experiences ever, and I can't really talk that much about it. (I hate that!)

The second, is awesome, and I don't really want to talk about it. I do occasional freelance work for Samantha Who? (Christina Applegate; ABC, check your local listings) and I'm finishing up a job for them and it's at the last stage, nothing too troubling has happened- a few burps on my end, nothing abnormal- except now, my DVD burner is spitting out unplayable discs every other time. AAUUGGGHHH!!!

On top of all that, Ryan(I know you read this and dropped off MySpace), your DVD of Big Trouble in Little China was skipping up a storm and I got frustrated and turned it off near the end.

I'm working again tomorrow, Sunday, 8AM to 5PM, and have to have these DVDs ready on my girlfriend's front porch TONIGHT!

I'm twenty-five years old. I thought I was going to stop having computer problems like this ten years ago....when everything was 2400 baud and VGA graphics.

As long as I'm here, I'll share with you these two reviews of Super High Me, from SXSW:

Alright, have a fun rest of the weekend you crazy kids! Get off my lawn!
