Indiana Jones Hits the Transformers Building

Who cares if the building's not done?  The billboards are! (Almost.) Bring on the advertising!

Now, considering the awesome Transformers ads that covered this building, with an Autobot looking out one side and a Decepticon looking out the other (complete with blue and red eye lights), I couldn't help but see this -

- where Indy is clearly going to be swinging towards us - without totally thinking that the other side might feature some Indy ass about to fly through the other side. Alas, it does not.

But here's hoping that idea at least came up in a meeting.

"You've Gotta Have Heart"

I went to this really awesome event last night called "You've Gotta Have Heart." I can't write it up until I get home from work today, but I pulled myself out of bed early to get the pics up on Flickr.

Check it out, and tonight I'll tell you all about it!

My Two Bags of Rice

Gourmet Whole Grain Brown Rice, $3.49/pound.

I'm not sure how I feel about that after reading Sam's Club, Costco limit bulk rice purchases. It's so weird to read about limits on types of rice that I don't even eat (jasmine, basmati and long-grain white rice) because I'm on South Beach.

Operation Clear Floor: Mission Accomplished.

Don't I wish this came with a clean bathroom, a clean kitchen, and an empty email inbox:

Still, I went through all my clothes and video tapes and filled four paper grocery bags with stuff for the thrift store and took out two garbage bags of miscellaneous crap.

And every single piece of clothing I still care to own is clean and either put away or hung up drying.

Whew!

OK, I'm just a little in love with my flowers.

I kept them at work all week, which was so awesome.  They looked so pretty and so striking and so romantic.  Sigh.

Today I took them home, and I could hardly wait to pull them all out and trim the stems and give them fresh water.  Which I did even before I ate anything.  I'm hoping they'll last even more days.

I definitely won't be becoming a florist anytime soon, because flower arranging is clearly not one of my natural skills, but I don't care.

The vase is huge, but it was still full with all the flowers stuffed in with absolutely no expertise.  I was going to just throw away the leftover leaves, but I ended up throwing them in my other vase.  I think they're really pretty, too, actually.  I guess that's why some people have plants.

Oh, I just love them, love them, love them!  The white orchid was just the most perfect touch.

You've got to get through all the carbs before you can start eating right again.

I mean, the cookies I'll throw out. But the Christmas Eve Lasagna, made by the lovely Becca, that's my dinner for the next week.

Yum!

Oh, and here's Christmas morning breakfast. Yum!  Yum!

Great Girls, Great Pic

Tonight was my monthly girl's night, which I don't actually go to monthly, and which is quite the entertainment filmmaker geek fest. You're nothing in this town without friends, and that is a fact.

And I am crazy in love with this picture of my good friends Bethany and Cindi:

Doggies!

Visiting with doggies is fun!

H (above) is all like, "Doggies"? Really?

Ooooh, G (below) looks sad!

I think she knows we're going out today without her.

Happy Thursday.

We're a bit of a mess in this picture from the "Alive" shoot in August, but I guess that's OK.

And Ninja Turtle makes three.

Webby Sunday

First things first. My previous, more obscure post about Falcon Rock Command didn't translate into too many out clicks. Hey, I feel you. I'm not an Easter egg kinda person myself. So.

Hey! I worked on some webisodes for a cool show called, "Alive." The second one is up over at Falcon Rock Command. Down at the bottom of the page there's some orange bullet points, and if you click there, you can see the PSAs with updates on the Zombie situation.

And hey, I've slept with one of the zombies who gets it. Sans makeup.

Now head on over there and check it out!

There's also some cool imagery at Fighting the Dead and Science Cannot Save You.

Completely unrelated (except not completely), Zombies be doin' some yoga, yo. Here's some pics.

I really need to get back into yoga. Sans makeup, of course.

Off that link, I'm getting with the Flickr.  The Christy Kane show at Wax Poetic totally rocked, and I've uploaded my pics from the show like a good web citizen who finally has an awesome camera, a kick-ass computer, and a Flickr Pro account.

The dolls were really beautiful, as was Christy.

I really enjoyed the film short, Callalilly, that Christy did with the Chiodo Bros., and Stephen Chiodo was there, too. It was really cool to meet both Christy and Stephen. I definitely think the short will do well on the festival circuit if they get it out there. It was very unique and had a great tone to it, whimsical and just slightly dark. Kinda Velveteen-Rabbit-esque. Here's a pic of Christy and Stephen:

I've become really interested in webisodes lately, and I was totally talking the concept up to Stephen - I mean, how cool would ten original webisodes from the Chiodo Bros. be? I really think that professionally produced, original content on the web is going to blow up in 2008. And if not next year, by 2010. But really, more like next year.

Of course, the big question is: Where's the profit in original web content? Will it come from advertising, micropayments, cross-promotion?

One thing's for sure: We're all watching.

In our pajamas, sans makeup - Which how all the best things happen, IMHO.
