Christmas Done Right

For those who have accused me of being a Scrooge...I quite enjoy a surfer Christmas

My Friend Car...

...is in this video. She breaks, models and is just generally awesome. You can see her toward the end looking up at the Baltimore Pioneers--she's in sunglasses and her haircut is amazing.

I don't know where Stratford is, but now I want to go there

A cool video

Made by my friend Woody.

I'm not werking

Currently I'm at work, but not working. I am waiting for some others to finish a VO session, after which I will be allowed to return to my edit room and finish what I was working on. SO, thought it would be a good time to reinvigorate my blog.

I just saw Beowulf in IMAX 3D. It was pretty mind-blowing. I had very low expectations which tends to heighten the movie-going experience for me, but it was also just a fun wild ride of a movie with all the atmosphere you'd expect from a Neil Gaiman and Roger Avary combo; ie. super creepy and super violent. Peppered with moments of humor and just flat-out stunning fx. They added a lot of romance and intrigue to the rather flat storyline of the original (big time hero Beowulf fights a bunch of bad guys and--shocker--wins) and even #1 on my stinks-up-a-movie list Jolie was used to her full potential. If more casting people would realize just how much she looks like an alien, we'd see a lot more evil demon Angelina roles and be spared the Good Shepherds and Original Sins of this world.

Dad, Can I Borrow the Car? Part 1

I know I haven't posted in a long time, but I stumbled across this video and was thoroughly entertained enough to wanna share it. It was directed by Ward Kimbell who used to work for Disney in it's heyday. He also directed the Academy Award-winning "Toot, Whistle, Plunk and Boom" which is pretty much my favorite Disney short ever.

This film stars a young, squeakier-voiced Kurt Russell as the narrator. Don't forget to check out parts 2 and 3.

Back in action

Back in good ol' Spanish Harlem...nice to still hear the language everywhere; makes me feel that small world feeling. Went up to 125th st today to go to the bank and got called "snowflake."

Ahhhhhhh. It's good to be home.

Posted our pix (finally) on flickr with apologies for lack of editing and captioning, which I'll attribute to pure laziness...guess everyone can make up their own story. At least my blog entries can provide a little color. The one with the longer, lighter hair is me.
