Marie came to visit me for New Years!
You’ll get to read all about our adventures very soon, but for right now, suffice to say we RAGED for her entire visit. This girl rules so hard. <3<3<3!
The Psychotronix Film Festival shows only 16mm films, the vinyl of visuals, an archaic medium that brings us wondrous images of a near forgotten time. Antiquated commercials, neglected cartoons, previews from old movies, various short subjects which may have been intentionally educational then that are now just unintentionally funny.
This is the third time I’ve gone, and I know that in 6 months I’ll be back for more.
They have the screening in a college lecture hall. We were passing notes.
We also went to see Why? together at the Independant. Yoni didn’t have the rest of the band with him, so he just played a Rhodes and acted nervous. It was adorable.

I was chosen to participate in Nokia’s mobile photoblogging project, The Nokia Chronicles. They gave me their new phone, the 6650, to try out for a couple weeks while I photoblogged for them.
Unfortunately, I’m having trouble sending images to them from the aforementioned phone, so my participation as been minimal. I’ll be reviewing the phone at the end of my trial period, so even if the kinks don’t get sorted out, I’ll be posting all the pics as part of that.
Fingers crossed that it gets worked out before that!
I saw this on the shelf, and for reasons I will not have to explain to you, purchased it immediately.
I am a total sucker for notebooks, and this one, made out of a recycled library book, was quick to steal my heart. After some research, I figured out that the notebook began it’s life as Red: A Biography of Red Smith.
On the inside, it had pages from the book interspersed with the blank notebook pages.
They are evenly spaced throughout the notebook so they can be used as dividers. Neat!
I also picked up this sweet notebook cover from eleveneleven.net.
It seems waterproofish, and will fit over and standard comp book!
I also couldn’t resist their cardholders, which come in equally delightful anatomical patterns.
This is a very special post in the series of pages I’ve been posting for the 24 hour comic series, because there is video!
Thanks to Doctor Popular, you can all see me and MaryBee in a very sleepy state, as we take a short break from drawing page 10 to talk about our comic.
My friend Nicole, bless her lovely lovely heart, recently returned from Japan and gifted me this bit of awesome.
I am totally into Moleskine and Helvetica, and this is a wonderful marriage of both.
This may be one of the most appropriate gifts anyone has ever gotten me.
I am so in love with it, words don’t suffice.
I haven’t written anything in it yet because I feel intimidated by it’s brilliance.
I’m sure I’ll get over that soon, that is, it I can stop ogling it long enough to pick up a pen.
Before you watch this, you non San Franciscans need to know some context.
This video was shot at at the Folsom St. Fair, an SF tradition of debauchery in the highest order.
From wikipedia:
The Folsom Street Fair (FSF) is an annual BDSM and leather subculture street fair held on the last Sunday in September and caps San Francisco’s “Leather Pride Week”. The Folsom Street Fair, sometimes simply referred to as “Folsom”, takes place on Folsom Street between 7th and 12th Streets, in San Francisco’s South of Market district. It was started in 1984 and is California’s third largest spectator event and the world’s largest leather event and showcase for BDSM products and culture. It has grown as a non-profit run and non-profit benefiting organization with all donations at the gates going to charity groups as well as numerous fundraising schemes within the festival including games, beverage booths and even spanking for donations to capitalize on the adult-themed exhibitionism.
The prim queer tea is a modest tea party staged directly in the middle of the fair!
Okay, now here’s the video. (totally safe for work, btw.)
Oh yes, I give you new musics!
Draft 2 of this tasty jam includes lots of bleeps and bloops.
It also features a second verse sung through a gnarly cold!
As always, you can see the previous draft in the playlist below the current draft!

I don’t think this track is called ‘windows’ anymore, but we’ll see what happens in the bridge.
it needs a lot of edits still, but I’m amped to finish it.
Let me know what y’all think!
This is a page from Ocre ELLIPSE by Jonas Madden-Connor.
This minicomic blew my mind. Look at the glory of those word bubbles!!
I wish I were the guy that thought of that.
I was sort of hoping to get one of the other things I’ve posted to the state of being a whole song before posting anything else, but of course, inspiration hits & I have another new thing that I recorded at 2 in the morning.
This one features my roomate’s guitar, my new bass, and a toy keyboard I picked up last week.
I wanted to show you pictures, but I stupidly left my camera on the counter this morning.

For the next draft, I’m thinking drums, electric guitar, cello.
As always, feedback is appreciated!
Everyone and their mother has been posting about this thing, so I was going to skip blogging about it…but oh man, is that thing fun!
I made the images below out of a couple shots from the Madonna Inn I had lying around. Of course you should just do the real thing at Polariod Apocalypse.
My name is Helen Philpot. I am 82 years old. My grandson taught me how to do this so that I could “blog” with my best friend Margaret Schmechtman who I met in college almost 60 years ago. I have three children with my husband Harold. Margaret has three dogs with her husband Howard. I live in Texas and Margaret lives in Maine.

My friend Ed made this sweet time lapse using his TI-85 as an intervalometer.
