It's been a long time friends. FAMILY My son is getting married in December. FRIENDS I got to see mk, ecib, dccrux and mike a few weeks ago and it was glorious. WORK Work at the main job is great except for crappy macro-economic factors putting downward pressure on sales, making investors twitchy, and making executives panic... We'll see if I have a job in the next couple months. I am a tiny bit involved with ethosmobile.org and that is going well also. Lots to do, but feels very bootstrappy and exciting. ART My Own Private Idaho has been on my list to watch for YEARS and I finally got around to it. I will admit, I didn't love it... but I certainly didn't hate it... but the fact that I'm still thinking about it days later says something about its weight and effect. Above all else, it's amazing to me that a film that queer forward with such big names at the time was even made. I mean - it was a year before Murphy Brown enraged the GOP. Anyway... I'm still processing, and I think that's a great thing. Any time a film makes me think, that's a good thing. And more than that - When the credits rolled, I felt inspired like I needed to pick the camera back up - and that's a good thing.
