analogies suck: part1.
picture yourself as a child for a moment.
young. very young. so young you have no experience - no basis for comparison. two years. maybe 3.
you have a dog. you dont know that not everyone has a dog at that age - and thats why you think i its bloody marvelous. well, actually you dont. you just take it for granted....

"it's too hard"
envision a world where you work at something pretty damned hard. its difficult in fact. not a lot of people do it because it takes a helluva lot of time. ever work 72 hours in a row? three 72 hour shifts with a few hours to 'sleep' and shower inbetween? how about 100 hour weeks back to back to back to back?...

i have a theory that the reason folks in LA are addicted to youth and are getting implants and tucks and nips and so forth isnt entirely because of the film and television industries and the illusion that they portray. rather it has to do with the weather.

I actually think you're right; all three were created by Canadians. But the answer i was looking for was all three are adopted. I know, it's not that funny, but in my own defense, when I was told the joke I was already in a very good mood and having a great time at dinner, so I may have been a bit biased and an easy target for a lame joke.
As for what happened that was so awesome, I'll tell you later. I don't want to post it here, it will make me look like a pretentious prick, which of course I am, but there's no need for others to know that. ;-)

oh man, be glad you are in the land of plastic surgery and never ending summer. it has been so cold and so gray on the east coast for the past two months, it's hard to even want to go outside. i think you're right about the body needing to realize the passage of time, but this winter has been so out of control it's aged me from 24 to 90.
mars.
i was going to go to mars, but analogies are better. so a quick one.
we should go to mars because we shouldnt keep all of our eggs in one basket.
thats it. now back to the good stuff.
analogies are fun part 2.

Got the message! Thanks for the happy science thoughts. I'm closer to Sacramento than SF. I have this nice picture of me in Hollywood in my pics, but I don't have it on this computer, and so I had to get it from lavalife. Terrible quality! I haven't been there in so long, it took me 4 tries to get my password in right.
Had your name in my brain as I was falling asleep last night. So tired and a little wacky. Couldn't remember if that was your real name, or if you were a movie character.

tell me this. how do you walk this planet and *not* have any common sense? i'll tell you how:
society coddles us. the folks that would have been eaten by predators or drowned in quicksand after thinking 'hey even though my horse died - i can make it!' are protected by society. the smart folks build walls, lock gates and hunt the monsters...

you could probably get away with throwing the people without common sense to the wolves if you tell them they'll win a million dollars if they make it through. people seem to be willing to do anything for that. fuck being stranded on an island with no food, being made to eat cow braains and bugs, living without shelter or clothes or a shower for 2 months. i'll keep my sad little paycheck and stay fat, warm, clean, and well groomed, thank you very much.

I actually had a great time, but then again I didnt have a lot of expectations going in, since I didnt know anybody. Still, I met a lot of people, most of whom I unfortunately dont remember. I was definitely the odd man out. Everybody seemed to know each other, so there wasnt a whole lot of conversation, especially once the bands started to play. I think I lost half my hearing after the second song. It was great to meet you. I figured you might be around at the after-party thats why I wasnt trying to make conversation over 140 decibel of rock n roll.

I just read your post (after sending 2 emails) and I totally agree with your thoughts. Very much in line with mine...
So, let's you and I and Faux chat and settle on the name for sure and then I'll be happy to work on getting us online, if you want. I have a little time today and am curious about the process anyway.

Nope, not weird at all. Happens to me sometimes. Just a little hard to get off the computer and into real-real life: Phone calls. Planning dates in advance.
Been reading your journal for a couple days. Nice.

So, did you make it to SG Burlesque last night? Was it great?
I wish I coulda gone, but I may get to see it in Atlanta and / or Charlotte when I head East for work here soon.
Maybe we should develop a plan for inviting / voting on new members of our Gang. And I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with, GFX-wise...
See ya!

(I meant "tough-ASS logo" above...but you knew that)
I saw a Matrix Revolutions screening at the DGA, which was a blast. Great picture and sound, virgin print - really helped my opinion of the movie!
Hey, Front: what elements do you think our logo needs? Let's make a list. I'll suggest this, to start:
- a twisted circle of film to form the border
- an overall background of L.A.'s skyline, with an insert of a crazy forced-perspective shot up at the sign with academy marks, as if it's through a Pany viewfinder
- low riders to the East, palm trees to the West
- and a discreet SG logo somewhere, maybe on the Arco Towers
Whattya think?
