Well, here’s that open mic night I did. It was borne from an Installation + Performance project, but I think I’d like to keep dabbling in it. It was my first time ever and I was terrified (you can’t tell in the video but my legs were buckling uncontrollably) but I had a lot of fun.
I hope that the fact that I am not funny will not make you hate me forever.
I am in Colorado again, for a couple of months. Then gone. FOREVER. Well, I dunno. Probably not. I drove all the way here (which was about sixteen hours). I occupied myself by listening to Stephen King’s Duma Key.
I’ve still got a few hours left on the tape, so I’m not done with it. It’s pretty good so far. I’ve been a little worried about Stephen King because I wasn’t sure if he could ever write anything again after he finished his Dark Tower series. I also lost interest after the last Dark Tower because it was just so great. And this book, it isn’t mind-blowing or anything, but it’s interesting.
It’s a lot more interesting when, bored, you start imagining the main characters in the book being played by Bruce Willis and Luis Guzman.
I moved to Florida's mysterious Duma Key after my wife divorced me. Also, I am still recuperating from a horrible accident where I shattered my hip and lost an arm! Now I am developing strange, prophetic artistic abilities. My paintings can change reality! WHAAAAAAT
I live next door to Bruce in the mysterious Duma Key! I am the caretaker for an old lady who grew up here, and knows this place's mysterious powers! Also, my wife and kid died a while ago and I totally shot myself! But the bullet didn't go through all the way and I miraculously survived! Now I have strange telepathic powers and get seizures all the time! WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT
Anyways it is pretty nice to be back. I want to write posts about music, maybe I will have time to. If you’re in Fort Collins I’ll see you soon I’m sure.
I feel kind of “on top of things.” Kind of. There’s a lot of scramble-work I’ll have to do later in the week, but I think I’ll be OK. I should be working on stuff right now too, and I will be, but I recently re-discovered Dino Run, and I am having trouble pulling myself away.
Here is a title that my good friend Peter Steineck has designed for my latest 16mm film. It’s written by me, shot by Ned Hurley, and directed by the both of us. It should be done in a couple of weeks.
I am a mixture of confidence and terror right now, impressed by both accomplishments and failures, and I am so excited for the future, again. This is a good feeling.
Literally just now, in between writing this paragraph and the previous paragraph, I got an idea that I really like. I grew so excited that I stood up and walked in a circle. Then I realized I was walking in a circle with a stupid grin on my face in the middle of my office, so I sat back down and started typing this instead.
