The Shooter

So, the vice president of the United States shoots a man. On saturday. No-one is TOLD about this, ’till sunday. And even then it’s because the owner of the ranch talks to the local paper, not anything from .. say .. the white house press corps. Even then, on sunday, people…

Limited Badger

I’ve been scrounging ebay nearly constantly for a cheap semi-pro video camera. I put a couple of bids in, but have been outbid each time, so far, since the bids I’m putting in are all crazy-ass low. I have my eye on a Canon XL-1 or XL-1S, which…

You Screenplayin'

Late sunday night. Workin’ on a screenplay and a storyboard for a short film[1]. Listening to old skool rap[2]. Wishing I had coffee[3]. Realising that I have to get up and go to work in 5 hours. One day I won’t have a day job. That’…
