I was quite in love. And I still am in love with Bettie.
But now....
I'm a little in love with Louise Brooks.
My hair doesn't quite reflect it yet. But just you wait... it will....

I hate ripping from such a weak site, but srsly? rly?
My New Year's resolution is 2/3 broken. Already. But hey, at least they are *semi* regular these days. ...right?
I've been pretty busy the past week or so. Ms. Kim came again to visit and it was superb. Is it possible for us to not have a great time, even in the shittiest of circumstances? Researchers tell me that trends point to yes.
Beyond that, lots of work and a little amount of play. I met up with Corey for a battle of the wii tennis titans. I kind of destroyed him, but damn if two player isn't the raddest thing ever. I just picked up Wii Play today as well, so now I have two controllers of my own. Rad.
But speaking of work, get this: the other day, my manager comes by with a bag for our team handed down from the management gods above. Due to my not-so-rad past experiences with 'gifts from the management,' I figured would probably be some shit, like a jar of shitty, cheap candy or an ill-fitting baseball hat. Turns out it's a 2g Nano. It's even engraved with my name and a 'thanks for a great 2006'. Totally sweet.
I had to go to work last week at 10pm on Thursday. My first 'uh, dude, this is *way* too big for me' project hit the pipes. It's been a monkey on my back, but I learned a shit-ton and have enjoyed working with a ton of different people. It sounds corny, but I really am stoked about all the experience points I gained. I might have gone up a level. Anyway, it was a big old pain in the ass 'front-end / back-end' switcheroo on one of the most important sections of the site that required a lot of coordination of the servers. Heavy stuff. There were a ton of people involved, so it was totally smooth. Totally sweet.
Valentine's day is tomorrow. Since I can't get time off to go down south, I'm surprised her with an early gift. I can't exactly disclose the gift, but the shit was shipped 2 day air FOR FREE from china, bitches. ha. I think she'll dig it. At least, I hope so.
Oh, one more totally rad thing, I have been doing some off-time organization hunting and I finally found one of the main guys involved with some of the exclusive recordings that get used with that one super-cool thing we do. Aesop Rock is the next release. I am pleading with him to let me assist in the process. That would be so totally hip. I want to be the creative genius behind the Ratatat exclusive. Drool.
I love you all. Things are truly swell on my end.
I still like to have fun but I just don't enjoy it as much as I used to.
It seems like the only things I do nowadys is regret things and jerkoff to internet porn.
I miss things being new.
My Business Card Pic
Im officially a Producer. Well enough of an official Producer to be not technically lying when I talk to chicks at Big Wangs. Although Im pretty sure it was more fun/more effective to lie about being a Producer. One thing about LA chicks is that they prefer to be lied to. Oh well...
Me teaching a skeezer how to dance.
So my friend Justin and I started pre-production on our Thesis film tentively entitled "Kinski". We are co-producing , co-writing, co-directing, and just about co-everything else. We started Pre-Production 2 days ago. I have to have the whole Budget laid out by friday. This while I edit the final cuts on 2 Mid-Terms, Post-Sound on 1 Mid-Term, Post-Sound on 2 outside projects, and go to classes. This is further complicated by the fact that the editting/Pro-tools bays arent always available when I dont have class as other classes use them sometimes.

Outside of the film industry bubble, my russian friend Pavel called me with an interesting proposition the other day. To be honest, Im not quite sure what my role in this thing is, but he told me if it worked out, he would give me ten thousand dollars and "not have to worry about looking for a job ever again." Ever since Pavel moved to San Diego (about 3 years ago), he has done very well with his internet company and he now has over 300 employees. Whatever it is that he needs "my outragous personality and input" for, I know it is some sort of new kind of website. Anyway, my Spring Break is Feb. 24th and so we made plans to go to Mexico and discuss the details.
You can get LA kids to do anything if you tell them its the new hot thing. Or if you tell them that they have to leave the party if they dont do what you say.
So to add to my time management woes, the Nintendo Wii has been an unnecessary distraction. Fuck, man, Fuck. Bowling, man, Bowling.
So I have a Coachella ticket for all three days if someone wants to go with me. I lost all my peeps.
And I apologize, as I have said things of this sort a million times, but FUCK MAN ARE THERE ANY WOMEN ON THIS FUCKING PLANET THAT ARE NOT FUCKING CRAZY?
PS. I miss Portland, and Union Jacks.
