Lost in LaMancha. The director of two of my favorite movies, Brazil and Twelve Monkeys started to film a retelling of Don Quixote starring Johnny Depp. Shortly after filming began, financing started to fall through, audio was ruined by a NATO airbase, and flash floods destroyed many of the films sets. Then […]

Sidney’s class had a parade for Chinese New Year. They had a great time parading up and down the halls inside their dragons.
More photos of the celebration are here and movie of the parade at the site.
I saw this video on my friend Allie’s blog. Whenever I think about it I can’t help but smile. I wanted to share it with rest of you.
The MPAA knows good torture from bad
Posted in movies on Jan 7th, 2008
“This Film Is Not Yet Rated” is one of the most interesting documentaries I’ve seen in a while. After investigating the MPAA (the body that decides what rating a movie gets) for over a year, the director found out what makes the MPAA tick. It’s interesting to see the disparity a film […]
We grabbed a couple of tubes from mom and dad and went sledding at the junior high. Sorry the footage is so shakey, it’s hard to film while sledding down a hill.
Unfortunately I didn’t get any photos, the battery on my camera died as I took the first picture.

Sidney was helping me paint, and suddenly burst into song. Then for the next six minutes she composed a (kind of) melody and created lyrics to the best song about painting I’ve ever heard. Now this movie breaks my first rule of Youtube movies, nothing over 3 minutes is worth watching. Britnie […]

It’s meant “to educate and inspire girls on a wider definition of beauty and to make them feel more confident about themselves.” They raise money for programs that teach […]

Like the rest of his family, Wyatt has started reading in bed before falling asleep.
Photo a Day 296 - No Fear

Wyatt seems to have no fear. This scared the crap out of me with Sidney, but after seeing how tough kids can be, his fearlessness just makes me crack up. While we’ve been building the playset, he decided to climb the ladder.
He just pulled himself to the top with no problem while Britnie watched […]
Sid tries out the new slide
Posted in Uncategorized on Aug 7th, 2007
We’re in the process of building a new playset/swing in the backyard. If a Home Depot guy ever tells you something like this takes “8 hours for two guys, 10 hours for one” feel free to punch him in the face for me. This is about hour 14 and I’m only halfway done.
Anyway, […]
