Damn money vampires

just got hit with another damn fraudulent charge. The last time was through my bank and some crazy fool up in Istanbul. Got that taken care of. Now i got another one that completely wiped out my funds. Damn. And this one is through paypal, so I got a whole other thing to worry about. and all these damn customer service numbers are either closed on the weekends or close at 6. what the hell. As if things aren't stressful enough. its daylights savings and I have to get up and like 4am and go to Berkeley to PA for a Sag short. Damn. I hate banks and money and customer service people and the bastards that are stealing my fundage. Don't they know I'm a broke starving artist? haha. I can't complain tho. At least I have legs. Some people don't even have that.

2am

As I'm writing this my friend Matthew is on my couch sleeping it off. I turned on the abridged series of Dragon Ball Z so he can watch it before he crashes. I keep looking behind me and I see him sleeping. But every few moments he opens his eyes, looks at the screen and chuckles. Earlier tonight Adam, Matt and DJ came over. Adam was already a little buzzing cause he was pitching Drunkumentary to people at an Italian restaurant that used to be Uncle Bong's in downtown Susuin. Adam attempted to make red curry and it came out really well. We decided to do some drunk filmprov. (improv on film, I coined the term but its probably been coined already).

Earthquake in Japan and Tsunami's are on their way. I honestly can't stop thinking that the world is going to be ending soon. There are so many signs. But thats just the paranoid conspiracy theorist in me talking.

I love my girlfriend.

Broccoli

So I'm rummaging through my collection of dv tapes trying to find the footage of the band Taller Than Trees in the studio. I told my buddy Luis that I'd cut a little music video out of it and its been almost a year since we shot it.

I've been taking these online typing tests and I've discovered that my average wpm is about 48-50 words per minute. Heck yeah.

I steamed some broccoli and brussell sprouts today. I figure I'd eat healthy today. But I'm grilling me a steak later.

The class that I film for did their midterms today. They did public service announcements. The kid with autism did his psa about finding a cure for autism. He said he wants someone to find a cure for autism so he can learn to drive and be normal. George was in tears. As a camera operator for auditions its best not to show emotions.

I guess I'm gonna film a short tomorrow. My buddy Alonzo has had a short script in the works for like a year. Finally he's gonna get it shot. Haha. Lets hope the rewrites have gotten better.

Listening to Norma Jean. Gotta clean.

Food pictures

My very awesome girlfriend sends me a ton of picture texts. A lot of them are of food.

a few little updates

Its been a bit since the last post. so lets start with few things.

So this is the kickstarter page for our latest project called Drunkumentary. please give us your money. thanks.

So I worked on a zombie short called Human Root this past weekend. I dont think I've fully recovered. I'm still so tired. I feel like a zombie.

I've been swamped with work lately. between getting the kickstarter up and editing, and re-editing these real estate videos I've found that I am glued to my computer. I need to go outside. I want to skateboard again but i still feel sick and its kinda raining outside.

hmm, what else is new? I still need to clean the office, it just got destroyed again. I hate having to find a simple little item and then turing the entire room upside down looking for it.

I'm eating wheat thins.

I worked on this I think the summer of 2010 (not exactly sure when anymore). Shot in Daly City and Pacifica. The cliff stuff was really fun, super windy tho and really scared that the camera jib was gonna swing around and knock someone into the ocean.

Zombies!

Today was the first day of the zombie short. I was running around and doing a ton of stuff so I had my friend Jesse take a bunch of shots with my camera. When I got home I checked my camera, here's a few things I found. I really like this lens.
