Proper Suicide Mixing

You may remember that Suicide mixing and terminology was recently a topic of heated debate here. Late last night I received the following image in a text message that read simply “Suicide!” A few short minutes later, the Justins called me and I was able to record part of the conversation, despite the fact that [...]

Saturn A Go-Go

Saturn A Go-Go was a quick film project a couple friends and I did shortly after graduating high school. The idea was to film a “bad” movie in the style of Ed Wood, using single takes, shoddy camera-work, awkward cuts, the worst acting/dialog we could muster and by making the script up as we went.

Online Social Experiment Proposal

So here’s a brilliant idea I half created/half ripped-off earlier today: There’s a ton of 2 girls 1 cup reaction videos floating around online in the past month or so (or whenever 2 girls 1 cup broke onto the scene), as watching peoples’ reactions to one of the internet’s most outrageous videos is just as [...]

I nearly always had it with me, and along with Pokémon Blue, VMU classics Zombie Fishing and Punches and Love got me through my senior year classes. At some point, somebody wrote a sloppy [...]

Thoughts from the Grocery Store

Keep it Above the Belt, Salvation Army Approaching the entrance to Safeway today I noticed that the Salvation Army, in a brash attempt at boosting revenue through the “sympathy donation”, took the liberty of planting a bell-ringer in a fucking wheelchair in front of the store. I acted really interested in some colorful signage around [...]

From the Sketchbook III

Two separate ideas — a man approaching a woman at a restaurant and running into a waitress, and the absurdity of the phrase “died of natural causes” — which I tried to connect by beginning with the first idea and writing, stream of consciousness, until I arrived at the second idea. I know, normally a [...]
