Merry Christmas

Prayer

I poached this photo during church last Sunday. (Illegal, I know.)  I took it because I wanted to remember the wording of the topmost prayer.  I really like that one.

Glory to God,

whose power, working in us,

can do infinitely more

than we can ask or imagine.

Glory to God from generation to generation

in the Church and in Christ Jesus

for ever and ever. Amen.

A Merry Christmas, with mild pet abuse.

Where I work

I’ve decided that I really like Kanye West as a person.

I’ve mentioned that I really like Kanye West’s new CD “808′s and Heartbreak”. Why? I like the melodies. Some of them are sooo catchy. Auto-tune? He’s using it for artistic effect, not to hide his obvious inability to sing. He’s not trying to trick anyone that he’s a good singer. He thinks it sounds cool. Opinions on whether or not it sounds cool may vary. I agree with him. Is he jumping on the Akon, T-Pain, Lil Wayne, etc. bandwagon? Kind of, but he isn’t using this fad to make club-bangers. He’s making this weird electro pop. Whatever. I’m into it.

So I like his tunes. I’ve always heard how insane and arrogant this guy is, but then I watched these videos on VBS.tv. Spike Jonze interviews him about various subjects. What made me like him is the fact that he’s very honest and sooo passionate about creating something great.

I found him inspiring (in a somewhat unrealistic sense). I’m inspired to create something great. I just don’t know what that is right now.

A Dream Come True

I got another email from Mike McLaughlin.

I’ve wanted this for soooo long.

Luke Marvin on IMDB.

Still a little sparse for now…. but someday…

Bon Iver – Skinny Love

Mike B. brought this one to my attention.

Sleepless – Repeat

So my director friend Mike McLaughlin sent me an email a little while back. It said that he has a small part for me in his next film and that I play “the guy who is trying to break everyone out of the hospital”.

I don’t know anything else about the film… but that sounds like a pretty great part to me.

Mike last directed me in his short film Sleepless. That was almost 2 years ago now. I haven’t had a haircut since. I’ve blogged this before but I just got a nice high quality version uploaded. Mike McLaughlin has a new short coming out. There’s a trailer on Facebook but nothing I can embed yet. I’ll post it when I get my hands on it though.

I know I’m not that great at acting quite yet.

Fleet Foxes/Paris


Fleet Foxes – A Take Away Show from La Blogotheque on Vimeo.

Poached this one from Madge Kroeker. I was reminiscing about Paris earlier today, fooling around with Google Street View and found the Hostel that Madge and I stayed in last February. Made me quite nostalgic.

I have the hots for…

Betty Draper from “Mad Men”.

If I were Don Draper (believe me I’ve dreamt that I were) I would not be running around with all those no account hussies.
