New Business Cards?

I had so much fun working on the Boxing Day card that I may just use that as my business card. I like it!

Holiday Wishes.

May your day be full of boxes and your boxes full of stuff. Happy Holidays, people!

baby take a ride in my coupe...

i prefer using the term in situations where either definition could possibly be implied...believe me there are times.

i swear baby this time it'll be different.

great american roadtrip (aka i'm gonna die)

a dear friend of mine has convinced me to go out a roadtrip with her down to new orleans. i hear "roadtrip", i say, "how long?" so, i'm off on a 10 day adventure starting...now. expect some pictures. expect some commentary. expect some good ol' fashioned yankee deep south freak-out. wish me luck. i needs it. later gators.

time wasters

sure we can talk about tv and books and cross-stitch. but i'm talking specifically about computer time wastage -- of a somewhat addictive, cyclical nature. yeah, yeah, digg and web comics aside, let's talk about games. time wasting, empty calorie games.

snood. i'm very guilty of snood. i used to play snood rather than sleep, eat or do art. it's a sad state of affairs when your graveyard shift roommate leaves for work at 10PM and comes back at 8AM and you're still playing only drunker and crying because you haven't blinked in a couple of hours. when you know exactly where the preference file is that triggers its "time to buy me" countdown. when you hallucinate it in the little sleep you do get between classes and snood. when you skip classes -- not to sleep -- but to get more snood in. when you make video art about playing snood to kill two birds with one stone. snood is evil.

web-based games. any strange physics/math related flash demo game experiment art piece is enjoyable and mesmerizing for hours and hours and hours and days...oops. Planarity. need i say more? but then you have your star trek TNG hypno-mind games that make you play over and over and over again in a disturbingly zombie-like fashion (like snood only zombier). honorable mention (due to my bollywood affliction): kiss-mat.

however, my new all time favorite time waster is: cross country canada. this little geek got a dos emulator. unfortunately, this geek searched all the free sites out there, but none doing. so, for the price of a survey which i did in the name of john malcovich and thanks to mailinator, i was able to download my childhood memories. i played it in computer class in canada (of course). it was either that or oregon trail. i love oregon trail. there's nothing like adding tons of people you hate to your party and having them all die of dysentery and snake bites. but cross country canada is one of those extremely specific sense memories from elementary school. the crappy dos sounds and the weird pixel-y hitchhikers that can either rob you blind or give you 100$. not to mention the knowledge of where one can find molybdenum and other sundry canadian commodities! and check out some of the cool prizes!

NaNoWriMo failure

thanks to difficulties in the home life and the friend life and the family life, NaNoWriMo was a bust (again...as usual). there's always next year. or just doing it on my own or working on the script for that short film or the treatment for that video project or that screenplay or that animation or that website or that...oh boy. i have lots of thing to do, don't i?
