What’s new?
Well, I can’t state publicly, but I turned something in for a November deadline, it passed critique and I’m going to be meeting some very important people February 19, and depending on how that goes, in April I could have some very big news! It’s all hush hush right now, but very exciting!

I’ve just completed watching the Hong Kong/French collaborative movie, 2046. You can watch the trailer here:

But I warn you, the movie won’t be what you’re expecting. This film epitomizes both Hong Kong and French artistic cinema style. Your typical Hollywood flick this is not. That being said, it was definitely worth the experience. It’s head [...]

What is real?
Is it tiny motes of electrons floating through a web we cannot see or touch, reaching out to each other through impossible distances and even time? Are these tiny tendrils significant? Do they connect us? Do we touch each other, really, or is it only self imposed illusion?

Air TV brilliantly sets its pace in time with the story’s atmosphere. Filled [...]

Ginban Kaleidescope (Click here for Wikipedia link) is a 12 episode anime centered around a female Japanese figure skater (Sakurano Tazusa) working her way into the 2006 Torino Olympic Games. On her way her body is inhabited by a 16 year old Canadian boy (Peet Pumps). Needless to say, comedy ensues, but in the end [...]

I’m a little jittery. A little shaky, body numb, face buzzing slightly. It’s like my head went to sleep, like it’s lost circulation but you can’t feel anything and everything is moving slower than normal, but I seem so fast.
I suppose the giant caffeine pills aren’t quite out of my system yet. Could use more [...]
