If you like action movies and you haven't seen this yet... you need to step it up to one of the select theaters showing this amazing movie. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. Beautiful! Great cinematography and fantastic choreography. Don't miss your chance to see it on the big screen because this is the type of movie that is so much better to watch in theaters...

Update:
Some of you may have noticed my lack of visiting this site lately... Sorry I haven't gotten back to anyone! I miss you all very much.
The last two weeks I was working extra hard to get ready for each of the shoots for the music video. I think it's going to look pretty amazing!! We filmed over the weekends. The first weekend, I think I barely got any sleep. By the end I felt like a zombie and my brain was moving at about half the speed it's supposed to. I was so sore and sleepy and grumpy and annoyed, and all I was thinking about at the end of the weekend was how I wish I could do that every day and not have to go back to the bank the next day.
I ended up getting more mad at the bank for various reasons that I don't care to go into, so I called in sick on the next Saturday (the 31st) to go to the shoot I was originally going to be very late for. It was a much better day. The day after that, I skipped the last day of filming in order to go with my sister to a wedding expo. It's not every day your twin gets married, so I want to be as much a part of the process as I can be! Everything was beautiful. And she even won a personalized engraved sign, $250 value!
Last night I finally got to celebrate my boyfriend Keith's birthday with him. He's an April Fool's baby. And I'm glad because I'm already working on packing for the weekend. I have a 6 am flight out to Washington State on Friday and I'll be getting back late Sunday. Going for Sakura Con to help my friend Jen sell her comics and merchandise. Apparently I'm really good at the sarcastic sales pitch.
"I bet you like tshrits..."
"Why do you say that?"
"Because you're wearing one."
Don't ask how it works. I think we're all just looking for a little humor after many many many hours of convention and seeing the same things. And I'm certainly amused at how the conversations unfold. I'll update with pictures of the con, hopefully. My camera is being very difficult, but maybe I can fix it for the weekend. I don't have any other pictures from the shoot to share. My friend Tony (the other half of the art department) was the one taking pictures the whole time. I'll see if I can share some of them when the video is put together and ready to launch.
Here are some pictures from the 18th since I have nothing else to show. Keith and I went for an 8 mile bike ride. The length didn't seem difficult until I found out it was on gravel in the woods with hills up and down for about 80% of the trail... So I was dead by the end, but it was fun and felt good to make use of the nice weather!
Good news is that this last video project has gotten me in contact with some people that think they can help me get my next SG shoot off the ground. Thank you all for being so patient. I tend to have complicated ideas that take a lot of planning and prep work. Once we have everything together, then all I have to do is find a day when everyone involved is available. I'm hoping this will all be very soon!

Looking for more fun on YouTube? Well, if you weren't, too bad.
Here's some more genius artwork:
I know you all love my contributions.

If anyone likes Disney movies, or knows the kind of effort it must take to put a song like this together, you'll appreciate this.
So, if anyone is looking for a fun blog to read, you have to start up with Hyperbole and a Half. Fucking hilarious. And it takes an amazing artist to make something that looks like a child made it, but made really well at the same time. I love how she writes. And of course, I love that the writing is about everything and absolutely nothing at the same time.
Soooo.... I found out that Voyager is up on Netflix as well. Just watched the first couple. Sadly, I promised my mother that I would only watch them with her. I think that this is gonna take a while!!
Can't wait for Jeri Ryan to make her appearance.

The documentary Catfish. I just watched it late last night. I thought it was an amazingly well made movie that's only that much better because it's all real. Figured it would be a good topic to share with my internet friends. I would love to be able to meet you all in real life. Have a huge party with everyone there. Be able to put some real faces to the screen names... And I wish you all had the opportunity to get to know me for real as well. This movie made me wonder what people think of me on the other side of the screen. What sort of assumptions are made?
This is literally what I said to someone at work today:
I understand my thoughts behind your words.
Shows you how well my company functions...

The walls we build around us to keep out the sadness also keep out the joy.

Just a quote. I get one a day in my email. This came today and I feel that it has always been a very big part of my life. I wanted to share with all of you.
I've dealt with very hard times in my life, and sometimes for no reason at all. I tried to shut it out and protect myself from more difficulties. All that ever did was took the joy out of living. The sadness was still there. I have a philosophy that if I trust people and am open and honest, there will be moments when people will take advantage of that or hurt me. But the rest of the time, it will make my life better, more enjoyable, stronger, more full of experience, and more worth looking back on. I want to live. But I've found that there is a balance I can't avoid. I will take the bad with the good. I want the good and can always learn or benefit eventually from the bad.
What's your take on this quote?

Anyone like Dungeons and Dragons??
My friends and I are getting together on Saturday (edit March 3rd) evening to get our game on. It's rare that we can all get together these days. When we were in college we would play all summer long. Do twelve hours at a time and stay over at their house for days! I can't believe how much time we've put into one campaign.
Eventually, after Jen and Brion started posting mini comics about our adventures, people started to want to see what was happening. So we started live streaming the event. I can't imagine it's that amazing to watch, but some people like it. I love the comments that people would post up on there. It still has our old recordings up. I don't know if the live steaming will work this weekend, but if it does, you are all welcome to join!
Our game is more of what I would call Dungeons and Demons because we have no dragons. It's a full human campaign. But all the details are Brion's own personal touches. He made all our characters, their abilities, the items, the places and maps, the enemies... he just uses 3.5 as a base structure for his own game. Or campaign is finally at is end. We are slowly climbing to the top of the very last tower...
But the good news is that Jen is making a new D&D game off of her comic called Mystic Revolution. She'll be making an actual game book and everything if all goes well. So I think that is what we'll be playing next. Boy do I love being a geek!
And just for fun, I'll add our silly adventure picture. I don't know why they hell we thought this was so funny, but I assume someone mispronounced crow so it sounded like cow. And so we started making crow/cow hybrids:
