• Sightings of me!

    I was looking for mentions of my book and found two fun things. First, A children’s story/drawing I sent into Found magazine finally made it onto their site. See it here. I wrote those comments so long ago, it seems like they were written by someone else! And this person shared one of the tips…

  • Power Tool Drag Races

    We went to the power tool drag races for a while today, despite the stupid, pointless cold I came down with yesterday. It’s so sunny and nice today. I wished I could have stayed all day and drank lots of beer. Atleast I left the house for a while. Here are some pics:

  • The popcorn attack of 2006

    We were innocently popping some popcorn in our hot air popper last night. We’d had a couple shots of tequila and were feeling fine. The popper was going a little nuts so I tried to turn it towards the wall so the flying popcorn madness would stop. A very hot popcorn kernel flew in between…

  • AYAYAYAYAYA!

    I just sent off my first version of a Table of Contents for (hopefully) my new book. I’m so nervous. The TOC was one of my more painful memories from the last book. I think I know what they are looking for and I think I gave them a nice outline. Now I just have…

  • Um, Hi

    I didn’t know what to name this post, so I just typed the first thing that came to mind. I have a new haircut and a Table of Contents that is actually shaping up quite nicely. I hope they like it. I’m getting pretty jazzed about this new book. I’ve been trying to give myself…

  • We are all Raccoons!

    SFIFF Movie Review: Princess Raccoon What a weird film. It’s sort of like a cross between a japanese folktale, mixed with Rocky Horror Picture Show, Japanese karaoke style, and a hint of a Queen rock opera. The story is a classic Romeo and Juliet love story. It’s sort of a tale of good vs evil,…

  • Deerhoof meets Harry Smith

    The Heaven and Earth Magic movie+live music from Deerhoof the other night at the Castro was a good time. The first movie, Heaven and Earth Magic, is a 60 minute black and white film from 1962 full of moving collage elements suspiciously reminiscent of Terry Gilliam’s animations in Monty Python. I wonder if Terry was…

  • Gloating

    Gloating Originally uploaded by angrypirate. I went to a bookstore to research the next book. It makes me feel all gooey inside to see my book displayed on store shelves.

  • Maybe another book

    Another book deal is in the works. This one fits nicely into my schedule and sounds like it could be a lot of fun. If it works out, I can finish it over the summer and have two books under my belt before I start CCA. These books could really help me get through art…
