Ahh, America

Back in the states and I'm happy. I'd never think I'd say this, but Los Angeles drivers are nicer, the roads are less chaotic, the water is drinkable and the air is cleaner. I can see blue in the sky.

And our bed is SOOOO soft!

happy.

Ni Hao!

Yes, I have returned in one piece from my sojourn in the Middle Kingdom. And oh yes, do I have a lot to tell. I blogged every day to exhaustion and our combined squad has tons of pictures and over 10 hours of video. Look here in the coming days for the first installment of my China Blog. I plan (hope) to do one each week, giving me time to clean up and add pictures (hey, I was typing on a Belkin portable keyboard attached to my Palm m130!).

Wan An! everybody!

Predator DVD

I have to hand it to Counselor. he keeps better track of my career than I do. I'm very glad for the mention of the disc on his site, and I'm glad stateside viewers will finally get to see it! The DVD was produced in 2001, and has been available only overseas before now. I'm glad the great conspiracy between Alien vs. Predator and the Arnie-for-Guvernator pulled it off!

Honestly though, I think it's a fine disc. It's actually the first real DVD documentary I edited (my 'Willow' doc didn't make the legal cut), and I finally get to see it!

So by all means, if you liked Predator, enjoy the docs. And please, pay special attention to the tribute to Kevin Peter Hall. His was a talent that left too soon and he truly was 'The Life Inside'.

Here we go!

Embassy of People's Repulic of China in the United States of America

Sorry for the deadbeat blogging, the preparation to leave has been intense. I promise to catch up once I return. Until then, Adieu!

Birthday

Many thanks to Counselor for the link. Yep, my bday today. So far it's been quiet, which is nice. Tonight is the party and I'll have many friends and much music around me, so it should be good. Now I have some time to myself (wife at pedicure), so I think I'll do nothing constructive for my career.

for once.

or twice.

heehee

Evite: Birthday SambaLa!.

Evite: Birthday SambaLa!.: "It's that time of year again, my birthday. I know it's short notice, but this year it's a Saturday night and I wanted to do something different: entertain you with my drumming skills while y'all shake your booties and drink like fish!

Oh, and did I mention the dancers?


As some of you may know, this year I began drumming and performing with SambaLa, the Los Angeles Samba School.

So come down and dance, eat, drink, drum, and help me celebrate the arrival of a new number in my age. It should be fun!!! If y'all come, I'll bang harder.

Admission is $7 and gets you dance/drum classes from 9:30 - 10:30 pm, and a live drum and dance show from 10:45 onwards.
