Two trailers for the price of one

So no sooner did I decide to get back on the horse, than I get an email from David Howell requesting my blessing for a trailer he’s made. Of me. Kind of.
Watch it at DavidHowellStudios.com – and while you’re there, check out his amazing video art and subscribe to his feed.

I can’t imagine the pain he went through (with a bad back) watching and cutting my face 100 times. Jesus. I’m tickled and amazed by it. But the real punchline is that 2 second flash at the end. What… WHAT? I don’t know if I’m secure and stable enough to cope with being made into a stop motion puppet. Malkovich Malkovich Malkovich Malkovich. My reality is already fraying at the edges.

Comments - add one and make me happy

Makes me laugh to think of things in terms of Seasons.

Wreck & Salvage and Next To Heaven – two of my favourite places (check them out) – have talked about starting and finishing Season 1 or Season 2 recently, so…¬¨¬®‚Äö?тĆ Instead of apologising for disappearing for 2 months, I can make out like it was all carefully planned, and that Season 1 finished in August and Season 2 is starting in October.¬¨¬®‚Äö?тĆ Yeah.¬¨¬®‚Äö?тĆ [throaty American voice:] “Twittervlog.¬¨¬®‚Äö?тĆ Season Two. October One”.

I’m psyched about getting back to it. I have so many ideas exploding out of my head like brain spaghetti – so many things to show and do and say and touch and smell.¬¨¬®‚Äö?тĆ See you tomorrow.¬¨¬®‚Äö?тĆ No, really.

FIVE WEEKS WITHOUT A COMPUTER.

FUCK.

Well, I guess needed a stint in rehab.¬¨¬®‚Äö?тĆ My internet addiction had gotten pretty bad.

About 24 hours before I left, I thought I’d hit rock bottom.

Then I did a long haul flight with a 2 year old.

Then I landed in Canada, and all those happy smiling people took care of me.¬¨¬®‚Äö?тĆ They’re everywhere.¬¨¬®‚Äö?тĆ They’re just like they are on South Park, only nicer.¬¨¬®‚Äö?тĆ Even the Customs/Border guy just said “Welcome back” with a smile and waved us through.

With the exception of the night on a remote island that a sasquatch jacked our campervan and broke my Powerbook, it was a luminous trip.

Anyway, this is a videoblog, not the ramblings of some jetlagged fuckhead, so I guess I’ll start posting videos again.¬¨¬®‚Äö?тĆ I have quite a lot.¬¨¬®‚Äö?тĆ Five weeks’ worth.

Oh, and I have 1130 unwatched videos in my Subscriptions folder, 1143 messages from the Yahoo videoblogging group and 2118 unread messages in my Inbox.

Oooh, yeah, I can feel that internet juice squirting round my arteries again.

See you tomorrow.
