The 36 Hour Film Race is nigh and I’m pretty excited!
So this thing Dolly became a category two hurricane last night and began pummeling the gulf coast earlier today. So now the eye of the now category one hurricane is over land just about an hour north of my location. Here at the TV station all hell is breaking loose. We’re actually doing an early live newscast and the power fluctuated several times, knocking our weather station offline. So now our live newscast about the weather doesn’t have a weather station. Sucks, huh? So here we are…
…and it’s now a tropical storm as of 10pm tonight. The power is out where I live and I’m pretty much done with the television graphics. I wonder if power is back where I live. There’s only one way to find out…
…so I’m laying in bed in my dark house, it’s a little warm but not completely uncomfortable. I’m online via iPhone and I’m going to use my Vagabond II battery to charge it during the time right before I fall asleep. I think we have to work tomorrow.
I’ve rebuilt Impossible FX from scratch and here she is! This is version 2.0 of the site since I moved it to the WordPress API in March and I think it looks a lot cleaner and more professional. Check it out and let me know what you think. I’m always working on my little site so nothing is ever really final.
Please let me know what you think of the new design by leaving me a comment in this post. As always, I appreciate your feedback!
Thanks for checking out the new Impossible FX. Cheers!
I stumbled upon a web comic called Cyanide and Happiness. I can’t remember how I found it, all I know is I just fell in love with.
Cyanide & Happiness @ Explosm.net
1. Now that she’s available once again, I wonder if I’ll have a chance with Shania Twain. Will I need to move to Canada, I wonder? Wouldn’t moving to Canada be worth it even if I never meet her — meeting Ms. Twain is less likely to happen than me moving to Canada…or getting a girlfriend this year.
2. I like that Eddie Griffin (allegedly) beat the crap out of some guy who made fun of his momma. Chivalry, apparently, isn’t dead yet.
3. People make me sick. I can’t stand videos like the one where the old guy gets hit by a car and no one stops to help. Sure, four people called 911, but then what? They just…looked at him and did nothing. No one tried to stop traffic. No one pulled over. The car behind the one that hit the guy didn’t track down the hit and run driver and squeal on his ass. Makes me sick.
4. As much as I absolutely despise Martha Stewart and anyone else with the same, snobby WASP veneer, I have to admit that she did look hot in those medical scrubs she wore a few weeks back. I have a thing for women in uniform, and Martha had it goin’ on. So long as she wears a uniform of some kind, I would totally hit Martha Stewart. Sexually.
5. Heidi Montag and that ugly guy must be stopped. In fact, all the people on The Hills, shows like it, and the types of people who are portrayed in shows like Gossip Girl, Desperate Housewives, Sex and The City and other douche bagy shows, plus the people who idolize those characters or ARE those characters (Paris Hilton, Richie, Kim Kardashian, et al) must be shot.
6. I think Tyra Banks is a lesbian…or at least bi-curious. Whichever, it just makes her hotter. Tyra Banks is also clearly insane, which I also love. No, insane isn’t PC. Tyra is…eccentric? Outspoken? She’s hot, whatever she is. Sure she was a supermodel back in the day but she’s still gorgeous. In fact, considering her insa…er, outspokenness, she should bring herself on her show and interview her…try to get deep into Tyra’s life and see what’s up with her. Tyra Banks asks Tyra Banks 10 questions she’s never been asked before. Now THAT’s good tee-vee.
7. Tonight is Battlestar Galactica. I’m still onboard and I will enjoy this week’s episode thoroughly. Now, please excuse me, but I must go and get myself some Mexican food. Shouldn’t be hard to do here in south Texas. Aww, yeah.
8. Oh, and speaking of violence at the office, go check out this video when you have the chance.

Monday is Memorial Day here in the USA and so we’re also leaving the office early today, just ‘cuz. So I’m taking off right now and am going to play the hell out of Grand Theft Auto IV.
…ep, no. Nevermind. I have to stay anyway because I’m supposed to shoot some football guys for a promo.
Ever get one of these? It stands for Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair. Or shorter: operator error. Harry, one of the station engineers, showed me this just now. He saw it on a website. Apparently, it’s a real error message in Windows somewhere. I like that. This goes up on the list with AYBABTU and FUBAR.
Gloria stopped by the station today. She had won a T-shirt during a phone-in and came to collect. But instead of just walking in and out under my radar, she decided to have the front desk contact me so we could catch up. We hugged and after a few minutes of walking her around the office and chatting I had to go back to work but we made plans to see a movie together on Saturday. So she came to the office, got a T-shirt and a date.
She seemed pretty interested in getting together. She was just smiling at me the whole time…glowing, in fact. She was asking me questions the whole time, wanted to know everything about what I was doing, what my opinion was on movies I had seen recently… I wonder…
MAY 24, 2008 - It’s Saturday and I called Gloria at 11:30-ish this morning. She didn’t pick up. It’s 9:14pm now and she hasn’t called at all. It’s what I figured would happen. Oh, well. She’s missing out.
I made this today. That’s my buddies Marc and Pete who were delighted to participate. Special thanks to Pete’s Stay Puft Marshmallow Man figure from Ghostbusters.
