this weekend we engage the 48 hour film competition. for those who don't know, the way it works, you register and on friday at 7pm, they give your team a genre, a line of dialogue, a character, and an object.
you have to make a 4 -7 minute movie within these limitations - it's like Dogme-lite.
this year i am with a very interesting team:...

i am now the proud owner of a fully restored 1962 Vespa - it's red and sparkles in all the right ways. And it fit nicely on the back of my truck, once the nice young Customs official filed the right paperwork (after checking the tyres for dirty foriegn, bug infested soil BUT not the glovebox, which could have contained several ounces of uncut coke....

okay, so i'm a film geek, big-big double plus, so the next couple of months are like heaven for me. what i can't wait for: Batman begins - i'm such a batman freak, i have just finished the tattoo of batman on my shoulder, the beginning of a long on-going sleeve that is fast becoming a whole upper body odyssey; batman, batgirl, catwoman, riddler, poison...

Actually, I live about 3 hours away from Houston. You could still come see us if you'd like. I'd really like it if you would. But if it were me, i wouldn't drive 3 hours to see some dude's band that I never met. But let me know if you're still interested. Our next gig is on the 28th.

Where's your area? I'm in Aro Valley these days but I do get sun. And my new flat has a wood burner, and I have an electric blanket, so it's not too bad. Tattoo is starting to itch!

I went to a 21st birthday party last night at this bar that i frequent (frequently), for this dark, intense little guy - he's a sweetheart, a beautiful fellow. The place was packed out with all his wonderful friends - goths. All light was absorbed by their clothes, except that reflected by piercings. They stood in brooding clusters, smiling despite themselves, all gorgeous in their...

I'm only 22 and I feel that way sometimes. I think the main thing for me is not likinng any of the music going on today. I think it's because I'm aging.

fact 7. i took up smoking because of MacGyver. In the pilot episode he used smoke from a cigarette to expose laser beams. i thought he was the coolest and vowed to start smoking immediately. Thanks Richard Dean Anderson.

Fact 1. i started smoking cigars because all my freinds smoked cigarettes but me, and I got so used to the second hand smoke that I started craving cigarettes. Cigars kinda help the craving without getting me addicted.

that's awesome. Actually my drummer is a horror movie fanatic. I didn't really like them till he got me into them. so far my favorite one is the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
sydfloyd:
47 minutes! Genius! hey you wanna be in my band instead? I could use someone like you. You're a real, 47 minute song kinda guy and don't let anyone tell you less.
