We made a video, a live performance of a song from our upcoming album. Done on the cheap, obviously, but I'm pretty happy with it.

I mentioned my upcoming fast-paced acerbic variety show, Starving In Hollywood, that I was a DP on before, and we just got a second trailer up!

Just found this old piece of mine and thought it was surprisingly better than I remembered so figure ill repost:
Quote:
Gasping for Internet: A Photo Essay without the PhotosAmerican Airlines, flight number 971. Delayed, of course. This trip was not meant to be, now was it? Even the little contemporary museum found at the airport was an indication of the terrible situation I was finding myself in, with a giant polar bear head crying over an empty plastic bottle of arctic water; perhaps a statement of how our modern consumerism and technology invades the natural world or some other work of innovative artistic genius. But it was alright, just a few more hours and I would find myself in the beautiful and exotic Costa Rica. Just a few more hours.

Don't worry. We get into Costa Rica, it's gonna be sweet Rosemary, hundred-proof liquor and rice and beans. None of this shit's gonna matter.

I'm resurrecting this thread because I started work on a small project and a bit of accountability helps keep me in gear. I've always loved post-apocalyptic fiction, but it's disappointed me how, with a few notable exceptions, most of them seem to focus on the zombies or monsters or other threat du jour and kind of downplay the sheer nastiness humans can inflict on one another. So I'd been toying with the idea of making a setting like Stalker crossed with Heart of Darkness, set in central Africa. This might turn into some kind of game project, I don't know. At the moment it's just a piece of fiction.
Anyways, enough blabbing, (
https://docs.google.com/document/d/11qnLPrRmg9hyf1KIvLG0fTLIyI73Uuvzh8BesXxbnjc/edit?usp=sharing) here it is so far. I want to make five chapters to round out the story I worked up, I've done two so far. It's been a long time since I wrote fiction so I make no guarantees as to its quality, but let me know what you think.

I'll try to get around to reading it this weekend, but for the record Cormac McCarthy's The Road is a recent post apoc book and now movie that plays it pretty straight to its credit. If you haven't read/watched it, it might be good fodder for your thinking too. McCarthy also wrote No Country for Old Men, so he has a good record.

I'd say he has read it or at least some Cormac McCarthy. Sentences like this, with all the conjuctions, gave me a little of his vibe:
Quote:
He'd had a name once, a long time ago, back when work was nine-to-five and people lived with other people comfortably and they smiled and made small talk and worried more about how to make people like them than how to kill them.
Not that McCarthy invented this technique (apparently called polysyndeton) or anything, I remember Hemingway using it a lot too, but he seems to use it more than any other current author I've read.
I haven't finished your story yet catbarf, but when I do I'll try to remember to pop in here and give some feedback.
