Hydrogen converts to helium. The helium hangs out in the helium bar and the center of the star, chilling and mixing until gravity starts squeezing. Things get heated up and the helium starts making carbon babies. That’s what I learned today in class. Wednesday I learned that corn consumed them all! Them being the mound…

Fears I have: â?¢ I won’t get the book deal and I’ll be up shit creek for money. I could really use a book advance right about now. â?¢ I will get the book deal and it will break me into little pieces â?¢ Art school will put me in large amounts of debt â?¢…

I have today to finish two papers. Once I’m done, it’s all about studying for final exams. I’m getting close yet it’s so hard to focus. My papers weave and ramble through confusing paragraphs that lack conclusion or focus. I might need some vodka to get through this day. Or maybe too dangerous? OK, focus…

Holy Moley! Pirates!

I was looking for mentions of my book and found two fun things. First, A children’s story/drawing I sent into Found magazine finally made it onto their site. See it here. I wrote those comments so long ago, it seems like they were written by someone else! And this person shared one of the tips…

We went to the power tool drag races for a while today, despite the stupid, pointless cold I came down with yesterday. It’s so sunny and nice today. I wished I could have stayed all day and drank lots of beer. Atleast I left the house for a while. Here are some pics:

We were innocently popping some popcorn in our hot air popper last night. We’d had a couple shots of tequila and were feeling fine. The popper was going a little nuts so I tried to turn it towards the wall so the flying popcorn madness would stop. A very hot popcorn kernel flew in between…

I just sent off my first version of a Table of Contents for (hopefully) my new book. I’m so nervous. The TOC was one of my more painful memories from the last book. I think I know what they are looking for and I think I gave them a nice outline. Now I just have…

I didn’t know what to name this post, so I just typed the first thing that came to mind. I have a new haircut and a Table of Contents that is actually shaping up quite nicely. I hope they like it. I’m getting pretty jazzed about this new book. I’ve been trying to give myself…

There was a nice article written up about us in the SF Gate reguarding our coverage of the SF International Film Festival. Our rag-rag team of bloggers wound up being a pretty nice sucess. It sure was great getting to see all those movies, prescription despite my crazy schedule. Read the article on SF Gate.…

Well, it took me three weeks to get around to it, but here are some photos from our spring break weekend in Inverness. Inverness good times Cast: Tom, Mr. Zoo, Zoro the rooster, shed #5 and chickens, an angry crow, and lots of cows. And, a conversation from the other day: tom: you should have…

SFIFF Film Review: Obaba Great film! An art school student travels to a small town in northern spain to film footage for her school video project. She winds up getting emersed in the mysterious history of the town. She realizes that she has just been a spectator in life and decides to get her feet…

SFIFF Movie Review: Princess Raccoon What a weird film. It’s sort of like a cross between a japanese folktale, mixed with Rocky Horror Picture Show, Japanese karaoke style, and a hint of a Queen rock opera. The story is a classic Romeo and Juliet love story. It’s sort of a tale of good vs evil,…

The Heaven and Earth Magic movie+live music from Deerhoof the other night at the Castro was a good time. The first movie, Heaven and Earth Magic, is a 60 minute black and white film from 1962 full of moving collage elements suspiciously reminiscent of Terry Gilliam’s animations in Monty Python. I wonder if Terry was…
