Some of you may have seen my latest flick "Call Me Cool." For those of you who haven't, well here's your chance! It's no AMFAD, but it gets the job done.



You may also go ahead and guess at the parts I had originally picked out for you. I think it should be pretty apparent.

Drawing!

I've been a parched lakebed of creativity lately. Not just creativity though, I'm having a tough time actually drawing. Which is bad.

But it happens periodically, so I usually don't stress too much and just wait for the creative juices to precipitate into my well of inspiration.

It goes without saying that Picture a Day is taking a hit though.

Here's what you've missed out on if you haven't been to facebook recently:





The middle one isn't that bad, but it is riding on two of my most commonly used stock ideas: trees and snakes.

And of course the circle. That one got me a lot of frowns.

But back to my movie.

Okay.

So I wrote, directed, acted, and edited the whole thing on Wednesday. This required me to ditch class, dinner, and a meeting with Jessica. I finished burning the cd around 2.

Later the following day in class, it turned out my DVD didn't work. Well it did, but..it's hard to explain. The entire picture was squooshed into a 5 inch by 30 inch box. That wasn't so hard. I know what happened too!I saved it as a 16:9 format which works on any DVD player except for the ones at school. Frustrating.

Well, whatever. I have to bring it back on Tuesday.

I'm in an art history class this semseter. I've been having a blast, and the teacher is such a bamf that I've grown to appreciate Chapman more. Tomorrow Katie and I are going to a Japanese Tea Garden near South Coast Plaza.

I'm starting to actually mentally prepare myself for applying to a job. I know many of you have already had jobs, but I have been exposed to little other than the inside of a classroom my entire life and I'm beginning to feel the stress of not being more proactive earlier.

  2. If the formula is correct... if there is no dialogue then I am the main character and John would probably be the "cool guy." Thats my guess.
    You did a good job in it though. and it was cool to kinda see your campus.
