Sweaty around the house today as well as outside of it. Spent most of it indoors until I heeded the siren call of the cinema and went off to see You, the Living with Thor, Ed, and Jeff.

Congratulations guys…
Just made it back from the premier of Pornography, a film that should have an LiveJournal credit line, given all the talent from our little digital backwater both in front of and behind the camera.

At one point someone likens telling the joke to… Continue Reading
Apres Breakfast….
Smoking a Don Thomas with the sci fi channel on. They’ve become the clearing house for a whole new generation of B movies. Right now it’s “Fangs”: genetically altered bats and Corbin Burnsen.
