Bicycle Messengers

So remember that short film I was assisting with about a year ago? Well, the final edit is finished, the DVDs are in production, and the website is up: http://www.bicyclemessengersmovie.com

Check out the trailer/teaser for an idea of what the film looks like. You can find my name in the credits among the many people who helped out with the project. [I'm amazed Josh got that many people to contribute with no compensation.] I've seen the preliminary version of the DVD and it looks really good. For a project with essentially no budget, Josh came up witha really impressive product.

Vegan Contraception

This picture cracked me up. What in the hell is that old man doing? I'm glad the picture stops at his shoulders.

I saw this picture in a news article about a condom company that is being considered as the preferred supplier for the UN. The company, "Condomi", manufactures the only Vegan-approved condoms: "All Condomi condoms are free of animal derivatives and meet or surpass all global and domestic quality accreditations."

I wasn't aware most condoms contained animal derivatives, unless you count lambskin ones... but do they even manufacture those anymore?

From http://www.thingsmyboyfriendsays.com/: "What the f*** is a vegan condom, a hollowed out carrot?"

Coincidence?

Is it a coincidence that the word "Analyst" starts with "Anal"?

Moustachioed

For lack of something better to write about, I thought I'd alert everybody to the fact that for the first time in my life, I'm letting my facial hair grow out. Several months ago, I started planning a party which I have lovingly titled, The 'Stache Bash. The theme of the party should be rather obvious... guys grow moustaches. Why? Kitschy fun. I've often wondered what I would look like with a cheesy 70's looking moustache, so now I get to find out, and embarrass my friends as well. Don't worry, though. I won't actually shave down to the 'stache until the day of the party. Meanwhile, I'll be sporting a scraggly beard. I have about 2 weeks worth of beard going now with about 3 weeks more to go. I can't say I'm enjoying the fuzziness so far, and it will only get fuzzier. But life is all about setting goals for yourself, and working to achieve them. So I'll consider this a personal goal, albeit a silly one. Maybe you'll even get to see a picture or two.
