The zombie-fication of my hand. It’s a very surreal experience to do this to yourself. It’s actually a bit sickening. Peeling it off really feels like peeling off your own skin - luckily I was peeling off a disgusting sickness to reveal my own intact hand underneath. Whew! Thanks to Paul J. Mason and Chelsea Manifold for a cool SP FX make-up workshop at the Grand Rapids Community Media Center. Photo courtesy Gretchen Vinnedge.

This is how concert footage should be edited. Also, how does one sing so beautifully while jogging in place? David Byrne is a miracle.

Does anyone have any questions?

Grand Master Elton Trower

I wish I could triple-like something on Tumblr. I adore this man. Someday I will make an experimental film about him, all hand-processed with super slow motion and shit.

Colum McCann on storytelling. Of course it applies to filmmaking and all other forms of story too.

Removing whey from the curds (via Jen Pro-V) This weekend I made mozzarella, ricotta, and yogurt, and then I soaked oats in the remaining whey for oatmeal. The results = NOM. I like doing stuff that involves chemical change, especially when you can eat it.

This unfortunate childhood song has been stuck in my head all day. Did anyone else sing this as a kid?

Great green globs of greasy grimy gopher guts

Mutilated monkey meat

Fried baby birdie feet

Lukewarm vomit floating down every street

Buy it at your favorite store!

Why???
