'Ello campers.. I know I owe everyone a HUGE update on what's been happening during my month-long hiatus.. It's coming.. As soon as I get settled in my new place.. Can I just say: all this packing and waiting and waiting and waiting is driving me nuts..

Anyway, to those of you who may not know, my friends and I have formed a production company.. We've been doing corporate AVPs, music videos, and the occassional short film.. But only recently have we started doing projects that we've really wanted to do.. Our biggest foray in the world of self-indulgence is a little webshow called the soundLounge.. I can't really find the words to describe the show at the moment.. But I will say this: if you like good music and if you like trippy shit (and if you like tripping out to good music), go check out the soundLounge.. The first episode premieres on the 15th, but you can check out a teaser of it on the site.. I, proudly, directed the first band (the first two episodes)..

Oh yeah! Silly me.. Here's the link: http://soundloungemusika.com/

I'm annoyed at myself for not being able to update this as much as I said I would.. Don't worry, I'm not going back to my lackluster blogging ways.. There's just way too much going on in my life right now with work and shit (emphasis on the shit).. Regular programming will resume in December..

In the meantime, feel free to trip out to this amazing music video from one of my favorite bands, Tahiti 80.. They're an English-language French indie pop group, and their music videos are so amazingly out-of-this-world.. You should see their backwards jogging video.. OR the one with LEGO astronauts in love..

This video is from a track from their 2005 album, Fosbury--their best so far, in my opinion.. The song is called "Changes".. Very apt for my situation right now.. Changes are happening.. Big, big things coming in December.. That's right.. BIG things.. coming.. in December..

"Changes are happening all over the place.. Feels like you were slapped by a big hand in the face.."

Halloween is without a doubt my favorite holiday.. I've always been the one goading everyone else to put on a costume, get wasted, and just enjoy the novelty of it all.. However, with all that's been happening lately--yes, I still haven't gotten over it--plus the fact that I made a promise to myself to finish at least one of my screenplays by today, I won't be enjoying the holiday as I normally would.. It sucks, I know.. This is actually one of the worst Halloweens I've ever had.. I barely even have any movies planned for a horror movie marathon tonight..

BUT today is Halloween.. And although it's a day for many different things, wallowing is not one of them.. So here's a video that's both trippy and freaky brought to you by my friend, Gino.. I totally forgot about the magic of this video until he posted it on Facebook a couple of days ago..

Feel free to pause it on 3:28.. It is the single greatest frame in music video history.. You are not a true child of the 90s if you don't know of that frame.. Also, I wonder how many people are going as Mick Hucknall of Simply Red this Halloween..

Funny how a single sentence can make one of the best days of your life do a complete 180-degree turn and make you wish you'd never been born..

It's pretty trivial, actually, why I'm so depressed.. And I know that there are people out there with far bigger problems and can deal with their depression a lot better than I can.. So I won't say what it is that's making me feel this way.. You'll probably just see me in the next couple of days and notice that I'm not as happy as I used to be.. That something inside me has died.. I probably won't talk about it if you ask me about it then either..

I hate how this had to happen to me today of all fucking days.. I hate that I can't even do anything about it.. Also, I really hate emo blogging..

So here's what I'll do instead.. I'll let you trip out to this video.. This guy took a bunch of time-lapses and compiled all the ones he shot in the past 12 months.. As reflective as this video is, there's also an oddly cold quality about the video..

But it doesn't even come close to how I'm feeling right now..

I've been so swamped lately that I've neglected to update this blog as much as I promised myself I would.. It's my own fault.. Lesson learned: never write four screenplays simultaneously.. Ever..

The price I pay for having such a high opinion of myself..

Anyway, here's an amazing music video to trip out to from American/Welsh electronic duo, Neon Neon.. The song's about fame whoring, basically, but the video stars a glowing, blinking jellyfish.. I want a jellyfish for a pet.. I want the weirdest things for pets.. I'm not a dog or cat person.. Nor do I want anything with feathers or fins for a pet.. I want a jellyfish.. Or a lobster.. Or a porcupine.. Or a GIRAFFE! That would be awesome..
