DHARMA SNACKS

For our weekly LOST get-together with friends, Jackie made some "themed snacks" for dessert, courtesy of the Dharma Initiative (be sure to click the image through to the original on my Flickr stream, to see close-ups of her witty label text on the boxes).

STAR CAR

Last night, Dave zodmicrobe recruited me for his latest feature film. Well, my car, actually.

He'd borrowed it during production last year for a few shots with his actors, and needed to do some additional "Miami Vice"-style inserts while driving around Sunset Blvd. and Hollywood. So, his cinematographer Ivan got a big suction-cup mount, stuck an HD camera on my hood, and we got some really cool shots -- none of me, of course, just the hood and the side mirrors and the glitzy background whizzing by.

This is actually the third gay-themed independent film that my car has been used in. Soon it'll be asking for premium gas, and special parking -- thank god my car is too old for Bryan Singer.

HERE WE ARE NOW

A great piece on the fifteenth anniversary of Kurt Cobain's death by Jeff Gordinier, author of previously-pimped-in-this-blog "X Saves the World".

I'm not even much of a Nirvana fan, and it's still worth a read.
