I still don’t have that much interesting stuff to write. 

I’m posting a link to an interview done with Lewis and Theresa by RogueCinema.com.  They were asked about the movie “victimEYES”.  There’s some stuff in there even I hadn’t heard before, so I thought it was a good read.  RogueCinema is also the group that wrote that review of “victimEYES” on its IMDb page.

This weekend, we shot in sub-freezing temperatures in the woods for Marx Pyle’s new film, “Silence of the Belle”.  It was fun but COLD!

Christmas was fun, New Years was fun.  My brother Garth was in town and it was good to hang out with him for a while.

Cousin Damon and newly dubbed “Cousin” Meredith were in for the holidays, too.  We’re now in discussions for a trip to the left coast to visit.

Angie, the kids and I went to Nashville for a baby vacation.  It was really nice to get out of town and just wander around a different place for a while.

I suppose I had more than I thought.  Happy New Year!

That’s the feel I’m getting around the net as I look at several countdowns and year-in-review articles, that this year just wasn’t so great.

I didn’t really get that.  I can’t really think of stuff that happened to me this year that was much different than in years before.  Yes, the economy is not doing well, but I was reading that several economic institutions are saying that spending was up around 2% from last year, which is the smallest increase from year to year in recent history, but it’s still UP.  That I found surprising.

I have often thought about whether working in news numbs me to a lot of things, maybe making me more cynical, or take big news with a grain of salt.  Perhaps that’s why not much phased me, but who knows?

I had a great time with Angie, the kids, my parents, siblings, aunts, cousins and friends this holiday season, so it’s going out on a high note for me, personally.

Anybody get anything cool for Christmas?  I did.  HD Camcorder!  If I can figure out why the video output is kinda choppy, I’ll post some vids on here soon.

Right now, I have very few Christmas gifts bought.  I have nearly everyone on my list picked out, but have only actually purchased/built/etc around 40% of the presents.  I do this every year, and it’s never a problem, but this year, watching all the morons at the intersection of Burkhardt and the Lloyd, it makes me a little more nervous than normal.  I put a new poll up about Christmas shopping.  Let me know how you’re doing.

On the gaming front, I’ve found a new gem.  Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts.  I’m amazed with its customization, sense of humor, and ability to talk to the outside world.  In the game, you can take photos, and upload them to the Banjo Kazooie website, then download them or send them to friends at your PC.  Also, there’s a workshop where you can build vehicles to drive, float or fly around the different environments of the game.

I’ve also gotten into the show Weeds recently.  Since I can stream the first two seasons over NetFlix, I’m caught up now through the end of the second one.  Unfortunately, season three isn’t ON NetFlix right now, so I’m kind of stuck.  But seeing Kevin Nealon and Elizabeth Perkins (from the movie “Big”) again has been pretty cool.

Angie, the kids and I picked out a puppy Saturday.  Normally, I’m more of a big dog kind of guy, being around German Shepherds when I was little and a Golden Retriever more recently, but I have to say this little mutt breaks the stereotypes of little dogs.  I’ve never heard her bark, though Angie did say she did bark at Beyonce on TV once.  Which brings me to this.

Angie showed me that yesterday, and I liked it.
