Once

Posted on May 19, 2007

I saw this movie tonight with Christina and Adrienne. It was the most wonderful movie I’ve seen in such a long time. In fact it may be my new favorite. It gave me hope for cinema. They didn’t do things they could have and instead made me the happiest movie goer.

Please go see it. You won’t regret it.

Note: If you cannot tolerate the “F” word 50 times wait until it comes out on Clean Flicks or go buy Clear Play. Because you must see this movie. Go, right now. But until then listen to the music on the website. Oh, and even though everyone is calling it a musical…it’s not. There is just a lot of music in it. Beautiful glorious music.

The Boy With No Name

I love Travis. Love them. They play beautiful music. I just bought their new album and it is fantastic. If you’ve ever listened to The Man Who, let me just tell you that it’s right behind it in quality and awesomeness. My friend Spencer and I have bonded many times over “As You Are,” which is probably my favorite song ever. I make him sing it with his guitar every time I see him. He should really be in that band. He’s meant for it.

Plus this video is pretty awesome.

“Closer”

I can’t wait for them to release a video for “Big Chair.”

So, go buy The Boy With No Name.

Happy Mother’s Day

I think this is the most posts I’ve ever made at one time…good heavens! But, my mother could not be left out of this one.

She is one of the most inspirational women I know. She moved out of a small farm town when she was 17 and went to a business college in Denver without knowing anyone. She married when she was 19, had two kids and was a single mother by the time she was 23. She raised her children, and step children, started two businesses, and was recognized as Woman Inventor of the Year in 2001.

She is a tough cookie and I am lucky to have her as an example in my life.

I love you mom!

The Best Thing All Week

New York Pants

Posted on May 14, 2007

Yancy came for a visit to New York masked as a week of interviews. He did a really great job of covering the trip up by dressing in a shirt and tie and asking me to burn his portfolio onto DVD’s. He kept getting calls from “potential employers” throughout the week and even set something up two hours before he left for the airport. Some people will stop at nothing!

It was a great week of friends and fun. It’s too bad my work week was so awful or I probably would have been more fun. I was relieved when he was cool with the idea of sitting at home and watching the Royal Tenenbaums. All in all it was a grand time and we can’t wait to have him back for real this time.

Displace Me 4/28/07

Posted on May 14, 2007

I went to Croton Point Park on 4/28/07 for “Displace Me,” an overnight excursion to help spread awareness about the 21 year war in Uganda. The whole thing was really awesome. I helped check people in by taking pictures of everyone that came in. There weren’t as many people there as signed up. But I think a lot of that was because the weather forcast said that it would be pouring rain all night long. In the end the 21 minutes of silence I’m sure was frought with prayers of, “please, don’t let it rain God.” Many of which came to me. We were in complete silence for 21 minutes for every year that Uganda has been at war. 21 years.
