married to the sea

I like this week's a softer world. It reminds me when I was a kid and wanted to be a marine biologist.

Last night was a pumpkin fest over at my friend, David's. We did the whole deal, carving, roasted seeds and even pies! I Hadn't done any of that in years and years, but it was good fun. I went with a very freehand asymmetrical design while the sis did stars.

Camera Toss (The Blog)

Clickykbd chose this photos as one of his latest picks on his blog Camera Toss (The Blog). I've just sort of discovered camera tossing, but it's definitly something I want to explore some more.

I pulled a bunch of my portaits together in to Flickr set. It's interesting to see them all lined up. I don't take a whole lot of portraiture work, but I think I'd like to do more.

Back 40 Band

Just discovered my friend's Kyra's country band now has a website, Back 40.

Dick Ho - Asian Male Porn Star

My friend Jeff just got the website up for his latest feature film, Dick Ho. It's mockumentary and in Jeff's words "Dick Ho is the anti-thesis to Asian male asexuality, which is evident by the absence of the Asian man in mainstream porn. Like that of the stigmatized sex worker, Dick Ho aims to self-empower sexuality and this case, Asian male sexual identity." I haven't seen it yet myself, but the trailer looks great.

Don't pee on the floor!

de Young - Open Again

So I, and what seemed to be half the City, was at the re-opening of the deYoung Museum this Saturday. Chris and Ollie were the rockstars that waited in line the whole time, while I was just a lame-ass that snuck in with them. But it was a great scene with lost of people dressed up and just wandering about the museum. Even as we left at 2:30am, tons of people were still lining up to get in.

Four Color Love Story

Warren Ellis started up his pod-casting again, this time calling it The Apparat Programme. My favorite geeky find is
“Four Color Love Story”, quirky meditation on the romances of Superman by The Metasciences. Cute band with some fun downloads.

Giant Robot Attack - DECOM 05

My step-brother posted his Burning Man/Decompression photos finally! Yay!

Sister Gertrude

NPR : Preacher-Artist Gertrude Morgan, Remixed

I heard this story a few weeks backs and something about her voice has been haunting me. Maybe I'm just feeling very receptive to spirituals messages of hope right now. We could also use reminders that everything is going to work out just fine

Louise Brooks

I was quite fascinated by Louise Brooks when I first discovered her. Something about the bookish, hard-drinking, stubborn actress really appealed to me. Now she's on T-shirt from Theadless in her most famous role, Lulu.

Will Smith - filming on 24th St.

I took this vid of Will Smith and Thandie Newton filming in front of my house this Sunday. The director had his seat set-up right next to my door and I spent sometime on the curb watching them shoot. Interesting stuff and actually pretty low key. But Will is certainly a loud fellow.

Robots Attack!!!

I finally got a belt buckle from my friend Kyra the other week, I love it so! The stuff she makes is so awesome. Check it out!

My friend Chris got me out to see Serenity last night. After being skeptical for the first half hour, it grabbed me and made me gasp that this was it, truly good science fiction. The strong characters, the cultural pastiche, the incongruous technology, all cast for telling basic morality tales about the real conflicts between people struggling to believe they are doing the right thing. Everything was complex and multi-faceted, and yet there was still the thrill of Buck Rogers, the wild west and kung-fu fighting. All from a movie based on the failed TV series Firefly. But it was written and directed by Joss Whedon, creator of Buffy, who is a very smart guy. He just finished up an excellent year-long on X-Men and is now poised to bring Wonder Woman to the silver screen. And after seeing Serenity, I can't think of a better person to do it. He writes good, strong, and complex women that can kick some ass.

Shooting in the Mission

No, not that. Will Smith's movie The Pursuit of HappyNess starts shooting on my street this weekend. They're going to restrict parking on the block, which should suck. But I guess they're going to park some vintage 80's cars, which should be sort of cool. I gues it's based on the true story of Christopher Gardner.

Parton in the Park

I was at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass this weekend and saw Dolly. Not a show I ever would have thought I'd see, but well worth it. I was quite impressed by how genuine she appeared to be.

Korea to Canada: Trans-Eurasia Journey Home

Was looking at this blog this morning Trans-Eurasia Journey and wishing I was in Mongolia. What a trip! Love to do it myself someday.

Insadong Memory Map

Tonight I'm feeling a little homesick for Seoul, so I made a memory map of Insadong. Saturday night I was talking with this Korean-American woman who was planning her first trip back since she was two. Just talking about it made me want to start planning my next trip back myself
