Things I'm doing this morning:
-checking the surf report
-ogling scooters I can’t yet afford on craigslist
-swimming through royalty free music for work
-uploading my latest commercial to vimeo
-checking the weather report for Maui to see if I can go tomorrow
-trying very hard not to open our newly arrived package, which I think contains our new green screen setup, until the boss arrives (since he paid for it)
-healing from yesterday’s collision with the reef during boogie boarding
Beer + TMBG.
If only I still lived in DC…

Smile Friday - Halloween edition
2005, Sophomore year of College. Some friends and I set up a Haunted house in the dorm and I wore a zentai suit, acted like a mannequin, and tried to scare the shit out of people.
It was quite hard to see through the threading of the face, and in the dim light of our production I ended up putting my hands through a plate glass window and ripping my arms and the suit to shreds. Fun times.

Vampire Squid From Hell
The Vampire Squid (Vampyroteuthis infernalis, lit. “vampire squid from hell”) is a small, deep-sea cephalopod found throughout the temperate and tropical oceans of the world. Unique retractile sensory filaments justify the Vampire Squid’s placement in its own order: Vampyromorphida (formerly Vampyromorpha), though it shares similarities with both squid and octopuses. As a phylogenetic relict it is the only known surviving member of its order, first described and mistakenly identified as an octopus in 1903 by German teuthologist Carl Chun. [continued at wikipedia]
The vampire squid from hell. I love it.

I say something similar nearly everyday.

Wow.
Yeah, I wouldn’t mind working in this all day.
