Happy Fourth of Something
Celebrating our independence as a country by buying illegal fireworks from natives. The natives buy them from the Chinese, which as of last check are still communists. Way to go America!

Holy shit what a day
Yesterday was a truly eventful day, starting in Ashford near the Southwest corner of Mount Rainier National Park. The festival had wrapped up the night before, and I had a fantastic time celebrating with the organizers and some of the filmmakers who were able to join us. Afterwards, I drove to Bellevue to meet up…

RIFF Day 1 & 2
It’s time for the Rainier Independent Film Festival (RIFF) in Ashford, WA. I’ve been involved with the festival since 2007, which I guess means from the beginning. It’s a great weekend away from the hustle of the city to watch some good, bad and ugly movies in the shadow of Mt Rainier. This year we…

Rambling
Yesterday was a great day. Started out with an awesome ride into the office. The ride isn’t the same as the ride I used to have in Seattle. What used to be a 4.5k ride from my place in Seattle to my office is now a 9.8k ride from my home to my office in…

The outlook is blank?
I went to look up my horoscope for my birthday and this is what came up. I’ve not altered aside from cropping it to fit into the blog. I think it’s freaking hilarious that it comes up blank. How do I take this? I can look at it as the stars don’t know what’s going…

Gods and Monsters
I was having a discussion the other night about religion, not something I’m usually prone to do as I have some pretty radical views on how I think all religions should act. One of the things that had me a little confused last night was, in my talking with someone, I was told that even…

The plank of wood
After a thrilling day on the slopes, I made a game-changing decision: I was done with rental gear. The smell and the quality just didn’t cut it anymore. Imagine racing around a track in a semi-truck (that’s the rental) versus cruising up a mountain in a Subaru WRX STI (that’s my new gear). Trust me,…

Holidays 2008 – post production report
The 2008 holidays began with the necessity of buying new tires for my car. It was an expense I hadn’t planned for until after the New Year, but as the saying goes, “Life is what happens while you’re making other plans.” So, I accepted the fact that I had to put $900 into the car.…

Snowboarding round 2
Not sure about this holiday… It’s feeling a little forced this year, as in I’m forcing myself to be happy, even though I’m not really feeling it. Oh well, I’ll make nice and go through the motions for everyone else, but it might be difficult. On the plus side, I went snowboarding for the second…

Franz Ferdinand
Oh the ringing in my ears, the slight after taste of beer when I burp, the vein in my forehead seems to be getting larger and my eyeballs are showing me my pulse. A small price to pay for the excellent concert last night! Franz Ferdinand was awesome! The band is tight, the songs were…
Got any book recommendations?
