Well, not my life, but rather Craig Liggeons' life. My Life in 19 Inches is a one man show, written by the aforementioned Craig. It's about how Television has not just effected his life, but in some cases, has defined it.

It's coming to the Adrienne Theater in July (July 20-23).

I heartily recommend it. In fact it isn't the first time I've done so. You can check my first impressions when he test ran the show. ('My Life in 19 Inches' )

I can't say it enough: See this show.

Find out more at Craig's Site .

Janice said pretty much all there was to say about our experience at the Daily Show taping, so I'll just say this: I respect and admire Jon Stewart, but I have non-sexual man-crush on Stephen Colbert.

I'm very excited. Janice arranged the whole thing. She's the bestest fiancee ever.

No, I'm calling them stupid because they are pressuring to NBC affiliates not to air "The Book of Daniel." It's this new show with Aiden Quinn as an Episcopal priest with a disfunctional family. He also talks to Jesus, and Jesus talks back. Groups like James Dobson's Focus on the Family are against it because it portrays Jesus in a less than Christ-like manner. They've even managed to get two stations to drop the show.

Now, I'm disputing their claims. I agree that the project tends to de-Jesufy Jesus. However, I also think the project looks like it's going to suck. Go watch the trailer if you don't believe me (it's linked from the main page.) So it should get terrible ratings right? Not if news outlets are reporting that Christians are boycotting. Now everyone wants to see what the big deal is about.

In short, Religious Right, if you truly want this show to go away, Shut the hell up!

No Really Okay, you may have read this post and assumed I was lying about a new episode of Craig's Variety Show airing on New Years Day. Evidently they made a mistake and aired our first episode instead. To make up for it, they are airing it this weekend.

So TiVo, tape, or pirate Craig's Variety Show Episode 2 this week Sunday, January 8, 2:40am

Scott, Janice, Ryan and Joe had to put up with me as a demanding director so they deserve more than thanks, but that's all I got for 'em.

It's not my best flick, but I don't think anyone will cry over it. I should have the script, and video up after in a week or so. In a new twist, I'll be adding the storyboards too.

So I'm up rendering video for this year's Christmas movie. I just finished the video cut and now I have to go back and start editing the sound.

Rendering takes awhile cause my workstation is two years old, and I applied a lot of video tweaks to the movie:

Now comes the awful period that will last until a month after I show this thing at the Christmas party. What I thought was funny has now, after repeated viewing, ceased to entertain me. Doubt creeps in. Will other people find it funny? Will people be offended? Worst, will other people think it's lame?

Okay, it's probably done. Onward to tedious sound design!

My first year out, I figured I'd go for a little weird and disturbing, and hence put forth "It's a Wonderful Mensch" where I suggested that the CIO of my company locked up workers in a cage if they gave him a bad Christmas present. I was solidly trounced however in weirdness (and humor) by "You Better Watch Out."

"You Better Watch Out" has finally been put out on the web, and I'll join Dan and Becky in trying to spread the meme. Check it out, it's really worth it.

And while you're at Google Video, feel free to search for Citizen Wumpus...

I don't know if that makes me current or just really immature.
