And then my Google Talk tells me that Raquel is online. Hooray! Huzzah! Much joyousness and yellings. “Hi there!” [...]

Today Raquel and I had lunch at the Vietnamese lunch buffet that gave us so much trouble before. We talked about her surgery and the season finale of Dollhouse, about alpha males and a super secret project we’re working. You know, this and that. We’d go get more food and then talk some more.

I was very excited earlier today. My sister had sent me a picture that sparked a story thought in my head. I got the first few sentences and had a beginning so I quickly sat down and started typing it out. Yes, yes, I thought, And where does it go from there? Ah, I answered [...]

Last Wednesday I ran across the 36 hour Christian Filmmakers contest. The idea was to film a three minute video within the span of 36 hours, starting that Friday at noon. So, thought I, here is this nifty contest idea, and I know people who are also interested in this sort of thing, and [...]
