Impressively, this site is starting to near 1000 hits which is so cool I’m gonna do a repeat of what I did last time my site neared 1000 hits, offer a sweet prize to whoever is the 1000th visitor or nearest to after the fact. You can take screen caps by pressing alt + print screen which will copy an image to your clipboard. Save it, send it to me and you could also win one of these…
And second prize is you all have to suffer through this.
Twins who swapped roles charged with fraud An Italian woman who worked as a part-time judge as well as a lawyer was substituted by her identical twin sister in court so she would not lose out on legal fees when she had two simultaneous engagements. (full article)
Windscreen washer jailed for red-lights grope The court heard that on September 9 last year, Wainohu had approached his victim at the intersection of Hamilton’s Mill and Ulster Sts, offering to wash her windscreen.
As the woman lowered her window to pay Wainohu, he reached in and squeezed her breast. (full article)
Teen tries to kill mum to pay for breast job Cause guys seriously like boobs that much. A US teen had a extreme plan to pay for his girlfriend’s breast implants – hire some thugs to kill his mother, then sell her car. (full article)
Seriously. Sometimes I feel a little stabby just to get as some great cleavage. Its science.
Three nights of drinking is both awesome and terrible. My liver must hate me right now.
Spit-takes has so far gotten a good response from people, which is great and encouraging to carry on with the next project. Still trying to find the best compression for it as a HD file and for vimeo, but that’s technical mumbo jumbo nobody cares about.
News and stuff wise, its been a quite few days so I don’t really have anything else to post about. Its gonna be a fairly low key week it seems and no planned robot fights to speak of, though I’ve been thinking of starting themed weeks just for the hell of it. Mostly, I just want to print and wear a whole series of t-shirts that say ‘Fuck (whatever is pissing me off at the time)’ and have a different shirt every day for a whole week. That’d be sweet.
Anyway, here’s a golden oldie I always like watching, the Who’s on First sketch rendered with typography. Next post will hopefully have something more interesting. Or disturbing. Whichever comes first. Or last. I need beer.
Been meaning to post in the last few days that I’ve been working on this bastard for many late nights tapping keys like a drone, banging my head through the online rendering and trying to get a proper decent quality online.
Well its now done and after so long working at it, I have no idea if its any good and without even testing it before release, I give you the long overdue… Spit-Takes: A Mouthful of Comedy. Be gentle internet.
At work tonight my boss was praising my recent work efforts. Wasn’t really paying as much attention until I heard it said “you worked really hard like a little nigger”.
No other workmate heard it, nor were they in earshot, but goddamnit if I’m not pretty certain much, shit you not, 99% certain that is what was said and I was fairly dumbstruck to continue listening or react or anything.
Well its been one long week of all sorts of crazies. Completed the short film “Spit-Takes” and while I’m happy with the final result, there’s some effects thats taking its time being rendered before I’ll put it online for all to see.
Its been submitted to be screened along with some other local shorts for a touring festival in order to showcase the Waikato’s budding filmmaking community… or something along those lines. I even managed to squeeze in my good friend Sash’s Dark Priest short that he made several years ago and I still consider it one of, if not the best student/low budget short to have come out of the Waikato in recent years and its always needed a wider audience and this certainly is one of the platforms for it. I should be an agent. Ari Gold would be proud.
Other things that have happened this week include getting my car tested for a Warrant of Fitness and passing with absolutely no faults, not even minor ones to keep an eye out for. Impossible? Probably, I must have left a 20 note or something in the seat, that’s never happened to me before.
I also broke another expensive pair of headphones, and buying a replacement, thats probably my third $100 pair this year. Spending money is just awesome. I also completed building shelves for my DVDs so now they don’t just lie around in excess across the floors and now just need to track down where the hell all my borrowed ones are. As there are just so many missing its mental.
Also tried some painting this weekend and failed so instead took up drinking as a past time. That was excellent, but suffered one hellish hangover thats been haunting me all day today. Thats what I get for mixing my many drinks.
The plan for this week is to start putting together the next short film exclusive for the net, finish writing of script thats needed finishing for many many many months now and probably get around to invoicing and getting paid.
There’s an interview with Charlie Kaufman here in mp3 format and it runs for over two hours. He talks about all sorts of things an its great as you’d expect it to be.
An interview with the creator of No Heroics which I caught the first episode of and now think is great. Check it out if you can, I mean there’s a guy called Thunder Monkey and he summons monkeys. I know I’ve mentioned that before but… monkeys!
And finally, here’s Well Ferrell answering some questions from the internet. Hilarious.
Just finished a late night edit of short film for festival. Rough cut is done and audio needs some reworking. Music needs to be put in and graphics need to be tweaked. So… Almost… Finished. But sleep first.
New series being coming out this week in the UK, looks to have potential if not be something different at least. And hey, its got a Doorman who’s superpowers is summoning monkeys. Monkeys! That’s at least worth a gander at the trailer here…
Man’s Body Found 11 Months After Suicide Sohn seemed to have hung himself from a pipe in the kitchen, police said. The new owner, Kim, had mistaken the body for a mannequin twice before realizing that it was a dead body. (full article)
It’s sport, not sex, say pole dancers “I think one day it should be an Olympic sport – but that will take time. You would have to agree which moves on which to judge competitors, at the moment we all have such different routines,” she added. (full article)
