Fooman’s Fandango

Yet another version of Canon, but an absolutely brilliant guitar solo.

Found out today that iPhoto lost all the albums I made yesterday. I guess its too lightweight to be handling 12mega pixel albums. Sigh….

Josh and I plotted out the easter project into 4 acts today and managed to select the pics for Act I.

I also got this today, so my inner geek-child is happy.

“Its A Wrap!” Apparently the words that my crew waits to hear from me every production. We finished principal photography on the easter project tonight. I think it went well, given that this is a video project with only still pictures.

We’ve got until mid April to turn a few thousand still pictures into a video. Should be interesting.

I’m still sunburnt from yesterday. Ow!

Just got back from easter shoot. Need to go shower and break out the aloe vera. I am so sun burnt. Didn’t take my hat and sunblock out today. Oh well. The shoot went well. People were great. God is good.

Good night all.

My namesake and best friend from college got married over the weekend. Not many pics or video, since I was busy being bestman and MC.

It was a simple wedding. I got to catch up with old friends and colleagues. My friend Mae was kind enough to get all dressed up and accompany me, even with me giving her 1 weeks notice. Mae’s looking rather lovely, while I’m looking just a bit too hum sup.

The dinner went well with one side of the families dancing till the end. I think the other side didn’t quite know what to make of it.
It think my speech was amusing enough without humiliating the groom and I ended with 1 Corinthians 13, which the bride’s mother later told me she appreciated.

Since my friend Calpurnia has declared on her blog
http://puppy_eyes.blogs.friendster.com/calpurnias_closet/2006/03/my_dream_city.html
that:
“This here is every girl’s best-girlfriend-who-happens-to-be-a-straight-male-&-nice-person”

I thought I’d leave something here for those dropping by.

In spite of the ringing endorsement, its unlikely you’ll find shopping and fashion tips here. Shopping, just maybe, since I have brought just about anything you can buy over the internet.

Latest purchase, a Space 1999 Eagle Transport model.

Still one of the coolest sci-fi spaceship designs.
I’m such a geek. hehe. If you don’t know what that is, never-mind, you were born too late. In this show, the year 1999 was in the FUTURE. If you were actually born after 1999, don’t worry about it. Just wait till they remake the TV show into a movie and call it Space 2999 or something.

But fashion? Those that know me have seen how I dress. I wouldn’t take fashion advice from myself ya’ know.

Story of my life. Every woman’s best girlfriend. No wonder cannot get married. And not too healthy either if your gf is not like, super secure.

Oh yeah, the womens’ toilet in Felix at the Pen, have nothing on the men’s toilet. For once. After all, Philippe Starck is a guy. Personally, design-wise I’m more of a Jonathan Ive fan.

Well, its been a while since the last post, which brings us to reason No.2 why I don’t blog. No time. Or issit nothing I need to vent.

Just got back from the ChargeUp Media conference. Awesome time, awesome people and non stop action in workshops and producing a video in 2 days. It was interesting to see a wide range of people in terms of churches, backgrounds, experience and even ages.

No, I still haven’t recovered from the lack of sleep over the 4 days.

Which brings me to my latest peeve.
The fact that my body needs alot of sleep to function at a decent pace these days. I’m working now as most of you know, so I can’t sleep in till lunch time to make up for late nights doing video productions. I also can’t stay up all night doing video productions since I need to be at work at 815. I’ve been telling myself I’ll catch up on sleep on weekends. So far, it hasn’t happened.

I am getting stressed out about the easter production. Its a long list of things I’ve been griping about. Decided that it wouldn’t be productive or edifying to rant about it here. Just bring it all to God. Sigh…

I’m going to be in KL this weekend. Best friend from college getting married. I’m best man and MC, so can’t escape. That’s twice in 3 months. Maybe I can just hire myself out as professional best man. Got my date arranged, a mutual friend who asked if I needed a date or a ride to the hotel.

Now just need to get my speech done. Can’t ’sabo’ him too much since the bride’s parents’ church members will be there. Probably not a good thing to let them think the SIB people are so crazy. Probably finish off with the 1 Corinthians 13, Love is patient… thing.

M$ has been hyping their origami device, which is basically a smaller hand held tablet.

Wow! Innovation from Redmond.

Then again, there’s this ad from 1993:

Another Origami Prototype

Then there’s this from the 90’s too:

I rest my case.
