LA Galaxy vs. Seattle Sounders FC

I was riveting by Team USA‘s performance in the World Cup. Much like everyone else I was disappointed in our loss to Ghana and thus our early exit. Soccer has me hooked. It has moved up to my third favorite sport. I’m supporting our bid for the 2018 or 2022 World Cup and you should too. But that’s not enough. In order to prove we should host the World Cup again we have prove that we support soccer. Well, it was time to put my money where my mouth is.

Plus, I needed to give myself a birthday present.

I went to the game between the LA Galaxy and Seattle Sounders FC to see Landon Donovan and Edson Buddle return from their time in Africa. It was fun.

LA

I’m in Los Angeles taking part in BU’s LA internship program. The plan is to get some hands-on experience with feature film development and to see if I like it in LA.

Boston Post-Marathon

I missed the Boston Marathon because I was shooting my scene for directing class. But I didn’t miss this.

Whoa! Go, Street Sweeper, Go!

CSO in Boston

My NYC improv team, Casual Sex Offenders is up in Boston for the weekend. We are doing three (THREE!) shows at ImprovBoston. Yesterday was with the IB group Bastards, Inc.. Here’s the video evidence.

Editing

My film came back from Fotokem and I’ve been editing ever since. I’ve been trying a few things that are new (to me): Cutting on Avid and starting the edit with the ending sequence and working my way to the front. Being a Final Cut Pro kind of guy cutting on Avid is somewhat of a pain. Starting with the end and moving back to the front seems to be working in my favor. The photo below is from that ending sequence a couple days ago. I’ve made significant progress since then. This excites you.

This shirt used to fit. There are a few scenarios that could explain this present in declining order from most to least likely.

Shrunk in the wash
I’ve gotten fatter
I’ve gotten stronger
My arms have grown four inches longer

Gorilla Suit

It got up to 70 degrees in Boston today. Also there was a man in a gorilla suit wearing a Michael Jordan Chicago Bulls jersey doing arm curls on the roof of Newbury Comics on Newbury street. I’m sure this is normal.

Census

The Census Bureau sent me a letter to let me know that the Census Bureau would send me a letter. They eventually did send that second letter. Good job, Census Bureau.

Faux Spring Break

It’s Spring Break here at BU. But, I’ve been shooting movies the whole time so, no, it’s not spring break.. Not for me. Of course amongst those movies was my own film Happy Anniversary. It’s a dark comedy about a man trying to divorce his wife on their first anniversary. The shoot was one of the best directing experiences I’ve ever had. I still have to send my film to the lab for processing so perhaps my tune will change, but I still feel pretty good about.

I could have used the vacation, though.
