I made a movie about SF weather.
Yesterday we broke up into groups and we had 45 minutes to do a 30 second Jumpcut Commercial. Here are the results.
The first two are funny, the second is a little more zen, and the last is ADD.

Enter to win a free sony camera on Jumpcut.
Here’s the deal:
1. join the jumpcut holiday givaway group
2. Upload a couple of photos/clips of your life this past year.
3. Throw a song on it
4. On publish, add it to the Jumpcut Holiday Givaway group.
The two winners are selected by random drawing.
The camera (Sony Cybershot DSC-M2) is valued at around $400. It’s pretty nifty, though not my camera of choice, but hey, you could sell it on ebay and get whatever you want.
Your chances will probably be pretty good for winning.
There are only 12 movies at this point and half of them are from Jumpcut employees.
So… ya. do it.
and then add me as a friend.

There are no words to describe the deep loss I, and many of us, feel. Alleycat was such a beautiful woman with an amazing life ahead of her. I guess I thought we were all invincible. I don’t know, I’m just, confused.

This one’s about the yahoo talent show. I really really really like ijustine and I totally want her to win (though I have to admit her pilot video is weak). I’m getting more comfortable in front of the camera, which is cool, but I still feel totally awkward.
With all of moofy’s job talk lately I also have to say that I feel very lucky. I am so happy at my job. And to think that I struggled with the decision of accepting the job because they were way underpaying me like crazy. However, everyone was underpaid and so the only people who worked at the company really believed in the product.
EDIT: I’m a dork and I posted the wrong link. I have since fixed it.

More and more I realize how short my attention spans. I have so many interests and hobbies that I don’t allot enough time to any of them. These are my current projects:
4 short movies (1 in editing, 2 filmed, 1 to be storyboarded)
1 picture-taking session (I bought the most awesome pomegranate…)
6 sewing projects (1 almost complete, 2 cut up, 3 with purchased fabric)
And stuff i haven’t started at all:
weekly guitar lessons
write a small desktop app
learn flash (with a specific project in mind)
rewrite the csua web page (perhaps in django…)
And then I have to talk to people and work and write emails and go to italian class and stuff.
Last week my coworker and I experienced a minor ‘omg life is hard’ breakdown. I’m feeling overwhelmed with doing things like make doctor/dentist/optometrist appointments, ordering checks (actually everything about my finances. what are the tax implications of an iso? I need my social security card to open an ing account. I need to activate my credit card, blah blah blah. I thought I had a decent handle on this stuff but I don’t.) All these administrative things are difficult to deal with after a long day of work. It’s frustrating to realize I’m quite inept at handling these kinds of daily tasks.
In other news, Dennis took me to see Edward Scissorhands at the Orpheum. It was a beautiful modern-dance interpretation of the movie. The costuming was fabulous. The outfits really conveyed the characters’ personalities. Llama and Vanessa were with us and it was a very cute double-date thing. Afterward we all had dinner at Bar Tartine. The celery root soup was weird but I loved the duck crepes with persimmon and pomegranate. The restaurant is best known for their desserts, and those were amazing. We had amaretto torte (crispy phillo dough shell with creamy amaretto flavored cream), chocolate cake with banana compote & vanilla ice cream and this-sweet-bread-i-cant-remember-the-name-of with baked apples and lemon ice cream. I’d say just go for dessert.
