Fly, Fatass, Fly!

Saw UP this weekend. Brilliant, brilliant film. It’s pretty incredible how quickly they were able to turn a curmudgeonly character into one the audience could empathize with.

Stieg and I came up with a theory of how UP is like LOST.

Carl Fredrickson = John Locke
Charles Muntz = Ben
Kevin = Sung (the whole separation plot)
Dogs = Smoke Monster
Dug = Hurley
Russell = Kate (both whiny to the end)
Balloons & The house = The Numbers
Paradise Island = The Island
Storm that brings the house down = The magnetic event that brings down Oceanic 815

I guess that makes Jacob… Ellie?

Pixel-polaroids for Charity #3

My good friend Mike Overbeck, currently living in San Francisco with his girlfriend.

Before I moved to California, I took a trip around the country in my Dodge Grand Caravan and visited San Francisco, staying in Mike’s place . Two days before I was supposed to leave, I got hit by a car while riding my bike, separating my shoulder and breaking my collarbone. Thanks to the fine folks at San Francisco General hospital, I was on painkillers that zonked me out.

Mike was so incredibly kind to put me up for a couple days before my flight back to New Hampshire to recover. He worked from home while I stayed up and watched nothing but Kathy Griffin’s “My Life on the D List”. Like I said, I was on painkillers and zonked out.

Beach Fun

Stieg had a wonderful suggestion in the comments for the previous Hot on the Beach post. So I took a couple hours and updated it. I think I may get a couple copies printed. I’d get them spiral bound with no cover and no back page so that when you get to the end, you come back to the beginning.

Now It’s back to cleaning up the Dorothy turnaround before my Schoolism class starts on the 26th. Yeehaw!

Hot on the Beach

The loot from Christmas: 3 wonderful sets of Muppets toys including a kickass 9″ Sweetums fig and a great set of Gonzo/Rizzo from Muppet Treasure Island. Thanks, Mom!

Also: A shopping trip to Topo Ranch, courtesy of my lovely girlfriend. She’ll make a respectable man of me come hell or high water.

This was my pre-holiday project that turned into a post-holiday finished project.
