My involvement with Dallas Cinemania whetted my appetite for film. I’m not talking about DVDs either. I’m talking actual, physical celluloid. There’s something strangely primitive yet advanced about film. The process of watching a movie involves an interlocking of the both the mechanical and biological at 24 frames per second. I suppose it’s this crux…

I got off work early today. This was, of course, after spending 12 hours at work the day before. Anyway, I’m home now. Drinking some white wine and watching Tim and Eric on the net. I also listened to a bit of the debate between Obama and McCain on the radio. Yawn. Tim Heidecker Stand…

I’ve been spending an inordinate amount of energy on the Dallas Cinemania screenings lately. I’m very excited about it all and I hope that it goes over well. I think the one thing that’s really going to separate us from the pack is the fact that we’re going to have some really good prints and…

Greetings. It’s been a while. So much to write about…so little energy. Where do I begin? Well, for starters, Holly and I traveled to Chicago — our future home? — in June. The photos have been posted on my Flickr account for some time (see sidebar). I underwent sinus surgery last month which put me…

One of the pleasures of living in New York City was having access to some of the best pizza on the planet. I’m not talking about that shitty Famous Ray’s stuff that tourists think is New York pizza — I’m talking the REAL deal, you know, Totonno’s over in Coney Island; Lombardi’s on Spring St….

Wow. What a weekend. There was certainly no shortage of things to be done and did, not the least of which was the return — after an eight year absence — of my rock and roll group, Tomorrowpeople. We had a well-attended and, if I might say so, artistically successful gig at Doublewide on Saturday….

The very first paying, “professional” job I ever had back in high school was at a greasy old steak house on Highway 80 on the dusty, east side of Abilene, Texas. The place was called Towne Crier. The building was a Tudor-style structure and the dark interior, lined with faded vinyl booths, smelled of oily…

Up and coming webblog DRAWASTAR.COM has turned me into a published artist. My ultra-realistic sketches of “Sawyer” and “Jack” from LOST have earned me entry into the pantheon of celeb-obsessed doodlers…enjoy.

Happy birthday to actor and author Sterling Hayden who would’ve turned 92 today. I’ve long admired Hayden’s presence in gritty, ’50s-era film noirs such as Crime Wave and Stanley Kubrick‘s The Killing but he’s probably best known for his role as “General Jack D. Ripper” in Kubrick’s 1964 satire Dr. Strangelove as well as his…

Last night I participated in a sleep study set up by my doctor. I had heard complaints from friends about my snoring so I mentioned it during my last check-up. Within one week I made an appointment to spend the night in a facility off of I-35 and W. Mockingbird here in Dallas. I was…
