That's right. I was waiting for my photos to stop being stuck while uploading to Flickr, so I started poking around my Flickr account and found that Travis of CrapMonkey has made a video of the Crypticon in June, and Lucas (a.k.a. Pinhead Simon, star of Crypticon Idol) is in it!
As a disclaimer, I have not heard the audio of this video, as the computer that has sound is blasting B-Gangsta's music at the moment, but I wanted to post this before I forgot about it and never posted it, as I've done with about 80% of my posts.
Anyway, I will probably forget about this unless someone reminds me, so if you like, tell me how it sounds, at least. Back to un-sticking my photos....
UPDATE October 10, 2009... I figured that since viewing this video is never going to NOT be a hassle, I spent a half hour fiddling with my internet connection until it started working again and watched the damn video. That was cute. I liked the fact that there was Ash from Evil Dead and some other funny stuff. "They're drinking Budweiser and Bud Lite... the horror!" ` Oh, and as for Lucas, he said of that cute little queer-lookin' guy, "No [he's not with me], but he does call me 'Lord' if that tells you anything."
He's a funny man. And he's doing something really cool right now, but I can't tell you what it is until later. Sorry....
But hey, at least I can tell you that I got those new tires today, for an amazing deal - $85 tires at Discount Tires, but for only $65 because we wanted the $65 ones to begin with! Whoo!
...In the movie, Gun Day, a short movie made in only 48 hours! Yes, that's right... he's Bruiser. And yes, that was a shirt he was meaning to get rid of.....
Also, check out the rest of Crypticon Idol, with Lou Ryan as Pinhead (pictured below)! No, Pinhead doesn't die. In fact, I think he's technically already dead or something. Episodes 3 4 and 5 now available for viewing, so here they are!
I don't even remember what that one was about. That's what kind of a hurry I'm in.
One of these has my roommate Johnny as 'Buck Chinnington' at time 1:17 - I'm pretty sure it's this one, number 5!
Anyway, I hope those are in proper sequence.
Gotta run. Hopefully I'll be back to blogland soon enough. I miss everyone's blogs!
P.S. Watch Nociceptor's blog of doom (Introspection of a Struggling Mad Scientist) for news of all the other crazy stuff I've been up to that you can't watch on the internet - though I may start loading my Flikr photos finally.
Bob sure is working hard on the video, it's clear that he has talent, and it shows! (Sorry, Nate, one out of two is just not enough!) At this point, he has put up a one minute-and-thirty second edit, despite the fact that we were stopped from shooting all the scenes.
How far can he go towards completion before we get all the footage shot, who knows?
I like the direction the scene transition/integration is going, now that so much more has been added and scrunched together.
Even so, it won't be color-corrected until it's completed.
Me, wearing lovely black lipstick that Galen loves so much (I didn't say that), Lou Ryan, who looks oh so troubled, and also has some fun with the lipstick, B-Gangsta, who seems to be having fun whilst overpowering Lou Ryan, John (from the gym), guy on left side of garage, pretending to play bass, and pretending to beat up Lou Ryan, Johnny (not John), wearing red hood and also pretending to beat up Lou Ryan.
Tidbit; we affixed a broken towel rack attachment to our dining room wall just to make that one part where I'm putting on the lipstick and there's a towel hanging off the stump behind me.
I have a fancy shmancy plan for posting my life's trials and tribulations online. (Have I used that word enough lately?) This plan is probably already set in motion by now.
But first... a Scheduled Post! (I'm sending it to the future!)
Does anyone remember how I was in that music video in, like, the last post? Well, the wonderful and amazing Riley notified me of some really cool awesome stuff he's directed, written, etc... most of which I stumbled upon in his YouTube account.
I love these videos so much! They are precious. Really, I need to start hanging out with him more often, although the truth is that I am only worthy of playing with his wiener. I didn't just type that. Honestly, I love his creativity. Even more than his wiener. ` It makes me want to just run up and slam into him and lick the wiener juice out of his underwear! Mmm! Wiener juice!
What's gotten me so excited, you ask? The thing is, I think this is more entertaining than Saturday Night Live! ` In fact, I laughed my ass off. Twice. And I don't know where my ass actually fled to the second time, so I'm still trying to find it. ` Before my mind turns into another gutter, I present to you: Hellevator! (Just love the way Riley screams it!)
You might also check out Hercules vs The 42 Labors of Hercules. Yeah, it's really called that. I believe this is a step up for Pete, from 'Crash Crandell', because the cheesiness seems to be funnier and more refined!
Does he really wait 3,000 years... without trying to do cool stuff along the way?
And now for something completely different... Story Time with Bear and Rabbit!
And if you don't find that objectionable enough, here's a short play called Arsenic and Old Faith. All I can say is... Oh. My. Lord.
The plot thickens....
Wow. I love Riley and company. So much. And I've never met most of them. This is the closest I've ever got to attending a play by them, though once I tried to see one once: ` As Lou Ryan had greatly extended our lateness by making dinner after we were supposed to have left, eating said dinner, and then insisting that I was wrong when I pointed out where the theater was and kept driving for a few miles before turning back around, we arrived half an hour late and were turned away at the door, so it basically amounted to a three-hour drive to nowhere. ` And to think, I could have spent all that time playing with Lou Ryan's wiener.
This is the fifth time I've woken up in the middle of the night, drenched in sweat and screaming from my very vivid memory of seeing a future where Barack doesn't win and it's all my fault! I'm such a lazy-ass and I have no excuse! Whaaaaaa! I'm sorry! I'mmmm sorrryyyy! I'm a bad man! ` Or at least, in my dream I'm a man. 'Cause I'm always a man in my dreams. You know, it's more fun that way. ` Ohh... just watch the video!
Rar.
PS, I strongly dislike not having my computer. Not only do I have to share with a business, but I don't have my bloggy friends' bookmarks to tell me which ones I'm not visiting. Because I have a very small memory.
My new post will be on the Corrigendopedia tomorrow.
` Ah! So many things have happened in the past couple weeks! Work as a sexy waitress has been going great; I got 42 bucks in tips Friday morning, and I still get paid minimum wage (which is over 8 bucks in Washington). More interestingly, my superhero and I went hiking up Mount Pilchuck yesterday. ` In the snow! And scantily clad! ` But, unlike my movie role, I was shod in hiking boots rather than heels. I was actually pretty glad to be in the snow, since - like most days in this past month - it was sunny and hot, plus I was sweating a lot, working so hard to gain a foothold in so many other peoples' slide marks. ` Slide marks, oh yeah... that's because you can't walk down the snow, you just kind of... whoosh! On some parts we slid a hundred feet without stopping! Sounds exciting, huh? ` Oh yes, I got tons of photos of the strange landscapes we saw!! But they're not here yet. That's not to say I'm leaving you all with nothing to look at. What kind of blogger would I be? Well, I was on the phone with a friend of mine from the Great Lakes Area (over a thousand miles away from where I live) who is studying to be a math teacher. ` Well, this friend has done a cute lil' class project using Windows Movie Maker, and it involves teaching math!! It isn't supposed to be pretty; it's just, you know, something someone spends too much time making themselves all loopy just putting it together. Especially when narration came along. Lou Ryan and I thought it was both goofy and helpful....
` ...And from now on, I shall think of gallant Roman Soldiers whenever I do variable equations! Don't you all feel smarter now? I hope you have good things to say, because I put this up without permission. You know, 'cause I'm fulla surprises today! ` In itty-bitty small news, I'd like to tell you all that Vada is once again more proficient in leashdom, and she and Violet have had a few strutting competitions with a wild kitty I call Foxcat. ` There will be photos. So, I must leave to ready them.... Then later, I may take another Dr. Horrible break, as it's apparently stopping tonight at midnight!
Come on, I know you like these things. More stuff's going up this week as well, though I have a bunch of stuff to do right now. Cattain's Log Episode 7. You know you want to.
As I've been unable to get to my PC in order to access my photos so I can tell the strange and revolting story of what's been going on in April here - definitely worth checking out! - I've decided to go ahead and continue on with Cattain Niyu's translations.
That's because the appropriate photos have already been uploaded, so you can see the missing whiskers! (Or not, since they're missing.)
Don't miss the scandalous and indecent tongue action!It's all in Episode 6 - right here!
` Okay, let me just break up all the photo posting a little bit with some really funny stuff. There's videos from a funny guy I know, but first, you must read this. It's the funniest thing I've read in a while - even Lou Ryan laughed up a storm, and that's never happened before!

` And now onto Part 2 of this post:
` Remember the time I rode in a car for 1 1/2 hours to see a play, got there after my reservations were given to someone else, had to drive 1 1/2 hours back? That was a really depressing little fiasco. ` That play was Episode 3 of Crash Crandell in the 21st Century! Well, that Penaluna boy sent me a link to some things on YouTube, so I have some idea of what I missed. This is the Cliffhanger for Episode 3!
` Apparently, Crash is so cheesy that he can fight fifty guys by shoving them indivudually into different camera shots and then making them brace themselves for his fist!
` Apparently there's a character named Count Homogenous! Iddn't he a cutie? That must be his adowabe widdle henchman!
` At some point, Crash even gets a medal!
` Holy Cow! And look, it's the Penaluna Boy Himself!
` Good old Sir Reginald Cosgrove! Wow! You know, this was probably the last time I've seen him, or at least second to last. I don't recall. (Wow, that was a while ago.) ` Anyway, I'm doing important things and must go. S E E Quine in the Twenty First Century!!
` ...Oh yes, I forgot to mention I've been also neglecting my blog in favor of my website! ` Follow the adventures of neurotic Cattain Niyu (my cat Violet) and 'niphead Lieutenant Myeer (my other cat Vada). It goes back a ways....
` Catch the space kitties at Cattain's Log! You know you want to!
` It's a whole new little mini-section on my website, chronicling the events between December 23 and now! There's even new Christmas Eve photos!
` Speaking of photos, I have a few new ones. For example, I miss these when I have to get up early for school. Yay for winter!
` School is insane, by the way. My teacher is more insane. He has pet chickens and cats, sure, but most of all, he has bees. He likes to wear his bees around his neck. I love him so much!!! (I mean, uh, for a teacher!) ` He's discussed many things, including his eating of canines. He is also one of those rare people, like myself, who thinks that Anne Geddes' photos of babies dressed as parts of plants are disturbing. ` He said, "Now, I'm a gardener... I have this vision of harvesting my pea crop and shelling peas, except there's baby heads coming out!" ` In fact, I made some comics of various things he's said. I shall have to pen them over and put them up on my art blog! Eventually.
` But for now, how about some more photos? They tell an interesting story:
` This is my old phone. Can anyone guess why it's my old phone?
` Even the cats could tell it was dead because they completely lost interest in it.
` But, when I bought a new phone, boy howdy! The first thing that happened to it after I set it down was Violet's teeth!
` Luckily, this one is armor plated so it doesn't break! Even when slightly larger sister Vada comes and watches Violet...
` ...and gets to tasting it herself!
` That's all the photo action I got, so how about some funny stuff? On Wednesday, I went to a group discussion meeting at school. The first thing that happened was that I displayed my phone... and Cheshire Human called her cell phone on it, saying, "Gee, I wonder if I'll be there? Probably not." ` Though her phone rang, sure enough, she wasn't there. So she left herself a message. When her phone trilled with news of a message being left, she said, "I wonder who that could be?" Then she checked her message and found with great amazement that it was indeed herself who had called.
` Here are some more snippets from my Indestructible Notebook:
` Greatest Coat of Arms Motto: Sodomy non sapiens ("Buggered if I know!")
` After running to Subway and beginning to dig into my sandwich, I heard a distinctive jingle and turned in anticipation... indeed, it was the metal hanging from Dead Fetus Guy - more ripped than ever! "Wow!" I said, "you're more muscular than ever!" ` Our very own Skinny Little Roman Jesus said, "Why don't women ever say that to me?" ` According to the Dead Fetus Guy; "They do, just with disappointment."
` Their banter was something else!
` Another thing that happened was when Jesus said; ` "I need to drink less, dude!" ` "You do need to drink less dude!" said Fetus. ` "Way to miss the comma!" ` Etc....
` "The new movie is called 'I Am Not A Robot.'" ` "Does it star Al Gore?" ` "What about I Am Not Will Smith? That guy's awesome!"
` At some point, we were discussing this guy I'd seen when I went to the Y - he has crazy hair (no, not Xenophon) and an American Flag pattern tattooed across his entire face. According to Cheshire, he's the guy with the giant American Flag on his house. After being in prison for a while, apparently, he decided he loved the country that locked him up and is now covered in tattoos. ` I had a vision; a vision of me standing in front of him with my hand on my heart, saying, "I pledge allegiance to your face...."
` As I've spent all day making my web pages presentable, I must go sleepy-bye. But you must look at the web pages if you haven't already! The pig commands you!
` Even if you've never visited my blog before, wouldn't you like to see some really cool stuff? (Just smile and nod.) Well, you're in luck today! First off, I have the trailer for that film that Rockstar Superhero Lou Ryan has been working on with Nathan Lee. (Lou plays the bald hit man seen at 0:30.) Behold, The Ripple Effect! ` Is that not feckin' amazing?!? (Remember the trailer because I have an interesting story about it further down....)
` Onto more mundane topics, as I have been saving up (= selfishly hoarding) the kitten photos just for a section on my website (entitled Cattain's Log), I thought it's about time I keep you up to date: ` Since they were tiny fuzzballs, Violet (the Earth name for Cattain Niyu) has eventually learned to enjoy climbing telephone poles during our walks in the park.
` Vada (Lieutenant Myeer) is generally content to watch due to Violet's neuroses, which stem from no longer being a Zarrship Cattain. ` As for today, this was the documented criminal activity I observed after coming home from a little shopping trip with Rockstar Superhero Lou Ryan:
` That green stuff I had swept up was the dreaded scourge that originally caused them to crash-land on this planet. That's right; catnip! My little aliens had punctured the bag and dragged it all over the floor, spreading insanity-inducing fumes all over the place! ` Both of them were randomly bouncing off the walls, and after enough of this Violet (who apparently can't hold her 'nip) eventually hit the windowsill by chance and bounded over to the roof!
` After going out the other window and hurling in the crazed feline - tossing her from the window to the mattress - I eventually restored order. After the catnip was cleaned up, things gradually went back to normal - well, normal for them, anyway.
` Say hello to SinkCat, everyone! SinkCat likes sinks!
` Besides crazy 'kittehs', what else has been photographically documented? Glad you asked. (Just play along.) Today was also the day we had all our presents under the Disconnected Furnace Tree - most of them are visible here:
` This evening - that'd be Christmas Eve - Lou Ryan, I and our neighbor B-Dizzle opened some of our presents. I was so excited - I got socks!!
` Think I'm kidding? For the past month I've only had one pair of socks before tonight, and boy do they stink! ` Even more excitingly, B-Dizzle got an equally essential air mattress (seeing as he's needed a bed since he's moved in) and then pulled out a most blobby and squishy present which Lou had wrapped and stuck in his stocking just prior to this photo.
` That's right... a bag of goldfish! But why? Why goldfish?
` This is easily answered after a trip downstairs into B-Dizzle's apartment: The fish were for his turtle, Stella, who immediately began snapping at them and chasing them in circles.
` We also got B-Dizzle's dog (now more or less named Li'l Mama) an entire cow leg bone - I think it was a humerus - which immediately broke into pieces and splintered all over his new carpet! Here we see Li'l Mama chewing on a chunk of bone while B-Dizzle fills up his new bed. (That's part of Lou Ryan on the left, and his former computer on the right.)
` I didn't get any better shots of Lou tonight, though about a week ago I got a really good one of him doing what he's doing behind me right now....
` He was such a fuzz-head (and he still is)! Part of the reason he's such a tired boy is because he was at the McDisgorge Drive-Thru earlier with B-Dizzle and, looking for tiny girls to be in future scenes from The Ripple Effect (so as to make the mens look bigger), he spotted just such a creature in the window. ` He brought up his being in the movie biz and she laughed. So, he gave her his card and asked if she wanted to be in one. ` Unfortunately, the girl at some point thought he had been referring to a porn - which is typical - and she was only seventeen - which was not typical. So, she must have been talking about it with somebody and then they called the police. When asked what kind of a movie Lou had proposed to her, she had said it was a porno flick! ` So about an hour later, as we were innocently and wholesomely folding laundry, a very nice officer came over and asked Lou and B-Dizzle some questions and also had them write down what had happened. Though he saw that it was obvious Lou wasn't all about porn, he explained he had to go through with the investigation or he could be sued. ` While they were undergoing their written testimonies, Violet lost a staring contest with the cop. ` About an hour after the officer left, he called Lou and told him that the girl said she hadn't actually heard the word 'porn', she had just thought that was what Lou was referring to. Well, duh! She could have mentioned that earlier. (What is it with girls getting Lou in trouble these days?)
` Well, as if I could not have possibly posted enough about poor Lou, you might recall that I have forgotten to mention the present he opened. It was a digital photo frame from his mom. Though I have not yet figured out how to load photos onto it, there were a few photos already in it. ` Oh yes. Though perhaps not as humiliating as photos of Lou while he's asleep, this is what he looked like as a tiny tyke next to his two older brothers.
` Does anyone see the resemblance between this little cutie in the 1980s....
` ...with this big cutie in 2006?
` One more - I thought I'd exploode if I didn't show this one:
` Hockey Lou with long hair! oooh! If only I could run my fingers through all of that - but alas, it is all chopped off for now.
` Well, that's certainly enough for tonight! I'll be back with a report on Christmas & New Year's. Until then, S-Quizzle Out!
` That was ten months ago, I know! I'm just announcing that I've since uploaded the rest of my pictures - all with humorous captions, etc - and put them on my new website, S E E Quine's Anomalous World!
` Oh yes. A website. Mostly devoted to my blogs or things that don't go on my blogs. A kind of 'best of' deal.
` Last I left off was my near-drowning experience in Catalina. But I never did get around to finishing my account of my adventure. For you see, we also went on to Mexico. `Proof:
` There were many strange and interesting things I photographed that I cannot mention here. ...Because I want you to go see my website! You won't be disappointed! ` I will tell you - not that it's a secret or anything - that we did go horseback riding through the mountains!
` The next day we spent at sea. I took tons of pictures, but this was probably the most creative one:
` Not only were we well-entertained, but we also posed as entertainers.
` ...And then, this!
` I also took many stunning photos on our trip back (might want to click on this one!), and encountered a few huge funnies as well!
` No matter what, don't call out 'nice dress' to this guy:
` That's what one of my downstairs neighbors did last spring. ` At first, I thought his shouted threats were from some everyday random low-life, but when I looked out the window, I saw that he was a) wearing a lovely leather dress and b) yelling things like; "You want some milk from my titty?" and "You want to see my pussy?" ` With that, the guy actually exposed himself and said; "You know, you'd better watch what you say or you'll end up getting shot!"
` How about a round of applause for the ghetto of Everott?
` This has been a 'Photo Backlog Relief' post! ...Next up, my camping trip from a couple weeks ago!
` On Saturday I took off for Snoqualmie Pass to do a shooting for Quadrant 42 (HarWen Productions). As usual, the mountains were refreshingly free of Pro-War Protesters screaming at Anti-War Protesters; "Cheerleaders! You court jesters!" ` I was to be a Slaverian guard, though little did I know, Slaverian guards wear these ridiculously ridiculous uniforms and wigs! I'm sorry, but I don't believe anyone is capable of patrolling in those things. ` Thus, humor! ` To tell you the truth, I showed up at the same time as Har and Wen (after some killer traffic) at a Secret Hotel with Secret Duck Decoy Wallpaper and a Secret Wapiti Antler Chandelier!
` Then they got me a Secret Hotel Room!
` It turns out that there was a girl who had been waiting in her car for half an hour or so (in the rain, no less!), and then another girl arrived. They became my Secret Hotel Roommates! ` I'm gonna call the one on the left Christmas (because that's what her name means) and the tiny little one will be Wroth (because that's what her name sounds like). I know, my pseudonym skills are suffering.
` We talked about all kinds of stuff, which I barely remember because my brain was stuck on Spin Cycle (without even rinsing first!!). All I remember was that those girls were cool and they thought I was cool, too. And funny. Because I apparently have Jim Carrey syndrome. Yeah, I was funny all right. In the head.
` And then, this:
` Opening our Christmas gifts a little early this year, are we? Actually, Christmas was putting on some tanning lotion. And.... I bet a lot of my male readers are jealous of me.
` Oh yes. I hope Christmas doesn't kill me and make my skull into a music box.
` We ate at a cute little conjoined restaurant that night. I wasn't feeling particularly hungry, though I helped the girls with their food. After that I wanted to go to bed, but they kept distracting me with sex-oriented conversation. ` I went along with it for a few hours, but then I started falling asleep, so I turned off the lights and threatened them with making their skulls into ash trays and taking up smoking just so I could use them. ` After about an hour of threatening, I finally got some sleep.
` The thing was, it was hard to sleep because we were expecting strippers at three in the morning. No, it's not like that - we had Christmas, anyway. I remember joking that if any of them were male strippers, they were welcome in my bed - someone else could have my sleeping bag! ` It turns out that the strippers were going to be more Slaverian guards, and ones who really know how to look slutty at that! ` To our huge surprise, they did not show up in our room at all - they had their own room! In fact, I think we were still awake at that point, which was really bad because we had to get up at 5:20! ` We were saved by serendipity, however, when the alarm never went off and we got a knock on the door at seven! Apparently everyone was behind schedule, but that was fine because it was intermittently drizzling and those huge, flamboyant Slaverian guard hats will melt if they get wet.
` This is actually the point at which I learned we'd be wearing miniskirts. And, because that day just had to be laundry day, I was wearing the only black underwear I had left, which didn't have good elastic. Thankfully, Wroth had three pairs of black underwear and she actually gave me one! ` I also didn't have any base makeup, though Christmas was good enough to lend me some of hers. What would I do without these guys? Besides take up smoking?
` There was eventually a meeting in the strippers' Secret Hotel Room and we all got together and discussed what we'd be doing. ` But instead of going through all that boring stuff, please check out this picture of a bunch of people including Har, John and Wen (back row). I forget which princess Wen(dy) plays, but she's hundreds of years old! Still lookin' good! ` Michael Ritz (Yohan the Gay Cook) is the crazy-haired guy in the middle wearing black tape - keep him in mind!
` Anyway, after the stripper who had persuaded the others to come left (she actually wasn't intending on staying, which I thought was funny), the rest of us went out into the parking lot and put things we didn't need into our cars. ` Not a bad view for a parking lot!
` As you can tell, it was pretty misty at the Secret Hotel that shall Remain Nameless....
` We actually didn't leave right then - Christmas and Wroth did a little Price Is Right Fireplace Modeling first....
` Um.... I bet Bob Barker wasn't ever this lucky in all his years.
` The strippers were probably thinking, "Amateurs!" Here's two of them - I think their names were Tiffini and Shannon. (No pseudonyms for them - they're probably better-known by pseudonyms anyway!)
` We eventually arranged ourselves into vehicles and had a caravan to a Mysterious Nearby Park that No One Will Ever Know the Name Of Because I Forgot It.
` It was probably about nine in the morning by this point. Not a big deal, however, because it had started to rain.
` Since Christmas' hair was too big to shove under one of those tiny wigs, she got a cool ray gun and this insane tracker headgear, both made by a very cool artist guy. I keep forgetting his name though, but he was wearing some kind of beret.
` For everyone else, he had made these awesome, shiny staves with bubbly things on either end.
` We spent the morning hanging out in Wen's awesome trailer, chatting, eating bagels and grapes and watching Pirates of the Caribbean on a tiny DVD player. (Until it froze up.) ` Wen was great, by the way. I feel bad for being somewhat scatterbrained and disorganized while she was quite the opposite. ` Anyway, she made us up and Tiffini got into this wonderful catsuit, thigh-high boots and orange wig (the main part of the commander costume). ` The rest of us would have gotten into our costumes as well, but it turns out that a very sleep-deprived John had left them at his house. He did bring the giant guard hats, at least! Plus, the halting of the rain was a promising sign.
` No uniforms? Well, no big deal - we'd get them sooner or later, so the rest of us continued being made up. That's when I finally got the platinum blond wig! ` I should probably mention that there won't be any pictures of us in our wigs or anything because that would be wrong and scandalous! (At least, scandalous until the movie comes out.)
` Since Michael (Yohan) was on his way, he was sent to pick the uniforms up. No worries. At least the rain didn't look like it was coming back!
` As it turns out, Michael had gotten to John's house and found that the door was open. He didn't know what was going on, so he just came to the set (a 45 minute drive) and got lost for about three hours. ` By that time, the day was hot, the mist was gone, and the park was full of visitors which were staring at us for being a bunch of blond clones and a girl in a catsuit. ` (I bet the adults thought we were shooting a porn, but had to come up with something else when their small children asked them what was going on.) ` Meanwhile, poor John went to get the costumes himself. He got there by about four or so and discovered that someone had broken into his house!! ` Luckily, I think Michael scared them off with his hair... which took three tries to get right, by the way!
` He makes a good Wolverine, doesn't he?
` Anyway, the weather was lovely and I was dying for lack of exercise, so I just had to take a power walk in my platinum blond wig with a couple of the other clones. Lots of people stared. Well who cares? Besides, look at the view!
` After that, I started hanging out with Michael a lot. Why? Because I was bored out of my mind and he was providing me with the energy I needed to stay awake (besides power walking). Just look at the Michaelness pouring out of him... or is that a symptom of Jim Carrey syndrome?
` Just after that picture was taken, he went into the trailer to get into his... slave costume, which as you have probably seen, is mainly made of silicon tape. ` By the way, you can see him wearing the silicon tape in the Quadrant 42 trailer (after the words 'And A Girl And A Gay Cook', as well as at the very end).
` Isn't that soooo adorable? I could die! ` I didn't just type that. No, of course not. ` What's great is that, if by some miracle I had gotten the part of Princess Alfeelya, I would have not only gotten to dress in the tape, but be hung up above a bunch of lava like so! (Also in the trailer.) Alas, I really screwed up my audition anyway, so I don't know if I had any chance or not.
` I was really starting to wake up again when I went kind-of running with the taped-up Michael to see where the shoot may have been planned. ...He was wearing a robe, though people still stared more than ever. ` I think the only people who were brave enough to actually say anything to us were these two hikers who returned to find their truck broken into. Despite being so close by, I don't think anyone actually saw anything until after it happened!
` As for actually getting around to filming... that's the thing: John got pulled over by a cop because of his sleep deprivedness - this was after five, and he had been on the job since last night, I think - so it turned into a big 'screw this'! Let's reschedule!
` I know!!! Who would have thought that something so seemingly minor could be compounded by so many crazy coincidences? ` What's even more ironic is that they were not even stopped by a forest fire once - but one misplaced bag brought the entire thing down this time!
` Oh well. If you're interested, this is the only thing I really know about the whole plot and setup of the movie. For official behind the scenes stuff, this should eventually fill up. Probably after the movie is already out. I don't imagine that I'll be in there, though!
` As for me actually being in the movie... well, shooting is going on for the next several months. I'll keep you updated.
` My dependent lividity is actually thanks to Seth Mannino, whose life is being a makeup artist and crazy costume designer - once he actually dressed up as a fat black woman with a baby and his friends could barely recognize him!
` I can't imagine it either. ` As you may or may not be able to see from this photo that may or may not actually be displayed (as I am afraid to upload it to Imageshack), he got to touch me all over - and yes, X-Dan's force field makes such a good censor! ` Oh, if it's not gonna show up, just click the damn thing and you go right to it!
` Anyway, the director (Clint Berquist) and a guy who will only be known as 'Mr. Stand-In' subsequently buried me like that in this wonderful pine dirt napper!
` By the way, the cat had nothing to do with this film, though it's worth noting that it was the size of a small pony. ` This is actually the poor, poor guy himself, Mr. Stand-In. From this angle, he could be anybody, right?
` He then put on a hooded sweatshirt in order to disguise the fact that he isn't the actor in the film, who has avoided this scene for some... um... unsavoriness. Uh... well, look for yourself.
` As you can see, he has a shovel... can you guess where this might be going?
` Oh yeah, he went there! Totally! (Thank goodness for digital dirt censoring techniques!)
` Necrophilia, anyone? Of course, it wasn't anywhere near looking real because... well, my limpness (among several other things) contributed to his limpness.
` He is currently undergoing therapy for acute psychological trauma.
` As I was saying, after a few minutes of shooting, Mr. Stand-In went in to wash his brain with some beer and I got to go wash off all of Seth's hard work... with the door open and everything because it hardly seemed worth closing after hanging around naked for two hours. ...And because I was too lazy to close it after Mr. Stand-In left it open after showing me how to operate his alien shower. ` As I was putting my clothes back on, though, I snapped another picture of the grave through the window.
` I'm so glad I escaped from being buried in the cold, cold ground... so I don't know what Clint was thinking!
` Apparently, though, Mr. Stand-In had other ideas.
` Hey, as long as he gave me the hundred dollars first, right?
The essential world of science, critical thinking, and expanding the mind. I like to take on sensitive topics, even scrutinize things I've written myself. Also, it's sometimes a place to hang my artwork.
