Greetings from the edge

Here's a video of a performance of a play I wrote:



And here's an educational video I did back in college. Don't you wish you could've made videos for credit. :)

Things that make you go hmmm

I was reading a library book on learning kanji and the author had written "she" when referring to God. I don't usually see that, but whatevs. However, someone had crossed out the "s" and capitalized the "h" to make it "He". This I find even stranger than just leaving it as "she." Why would someone even bother to "correct" this book? Did it make them feel like they accomplished something? "Now this part is acceptable to my beliefs so I can continue reading." It just really bothers me that people not only use religion to justify killing and oppressing others, they also have to deface library books as well.

At least someone else had crossed out these changes and rewrote "she" into the book.

A Wetter Tomorrow

Here's my entry for a John Woo contest. It was a lot of fun to shoot and edit action scenes, something I had never done before. See if you can spot all the Woo-homages.

Don't Scam my Squirrel

This is probably one of the best internet shows. Check out this first episode of We Need Girlfriends, and learn how to "scam a squirrel." The next episodes only get more hilarious, especially the Myspace one.

All you need to know

Hot Fuzz is a complete and utter waste of film. It should be preserved and printed on diamonds, because it is one of the funniest movies I've seen in this or any other year.

Take a look, it's in a book

This weekend I went to a renaissance fair in Cambridge. My only previous experience with ren fairs was watching one on Reading Rainbow. It turned out to be much cooler than I imagined. I got to practice knife and axe throwing, watch a real joust, check out some melees, give suggestions to the king while he told an improv story, see a trebuchet in action, and eat a blue raspberry slushie and giant turkey leg as big as my forearm (both of course very medieval). All in all, pretty awesome. But don't take my word for it:

Strange dreams

So this morning I had a crazy dream. Part of it involved a family vacation to some woodland area south of Chicago, which we drove up to from Hawaii (not sure how that works).

In another part I had become a knight in some fantasy movie and was being attacked by an evil warrior queen. I rolled towards my swords that were sticking out of the ground, but I rolled past them and had to dodge and weave to grab two of them. The queen attacked from one side just as someone else charged in, so I spun around and hit both of them. This killed the queen, but the other person charging in was apparently one of my own knights! As he stood there bleeding, he told me to remember the promise made by the demon. This jogged my memory and I found a demon walking away and told him that we had an agreement that I could have a wish if I defeated the queen. With a wave of his hand he healed the knight. The next thing I said to the knight was "Next time Bennivere, don't f***ing come running in swinging your sword around me! I can't tell who you are with all your armor on!"

Interpret that, psychoanalysts!
