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. […]

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 […]

Gloating Originally uploaded by angrypirate. I went to a bookstore to research the next book. It makes me feel all gooey inside to see my book displayed on store shelves.

Another book deal is in the works. This one fits nicely into my schedule and sounds like it could be a lot of fun. If it works out, I can finish it over the summer and have two books under my belt before I start CCA. These books could really help me get through art […]

Following a creek as far as I could go. The smell of oak trees. Polywogs and tadpoles. Water Skeeters. Skipping stones. Gooey mud between the toes.

SFIFF Movie Review: The Sun I was all worked up to see The Sun. I really enjoyed Alexander Sokurov’s 2002 one-shot-wonder Russian Ark and I was prepared for a visually stunning film. The film stock that he chose to use baffles me. It was grainy and cloudy, At first I thought it was our copy […]

Movie review: Adam’s Apples I love this movie! This film is a side-splitting dark comedy involving neo nazis, God, brain tumors, crows, and apple cakes. I feel like no description I give for this movie can do it any justice but I’ll try anyway. It’s a movie about a small country church that serves as […]
