    Oof. I'm off to Australia/New Zealand for a month on Saturday!

    One week in Sydney. Other than the obvious stuff, any top recommendations?

    There are very few moments in life that feel more rewarding than getting to say, 'That's a wrap' on your own film set.

    Rent a car and drive a bit around in NZ if feasible - public transport is not that great.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    Holy shit. This guy is absolutely done. But this is the gift that keeps on giving. Please take a moment to watch the whole thing. He didn't intend it, but this is some of the best physical comedy I've ever seen.

    I fully believe (AND HOPE) that this is just one big inside joke from the NBA, since it's also come from Kyrie Irving and started with Ron Artest I think.

    I know there is a science and true thought behind it through others... But just think it's a joke in the NBA circle.

    Last night I watched Frances McDormand bob her head and shout along to Talib Kweli performing Public Enemy's "Fight the Power." I've reached my peak.

    Hey, everyone! So, I've been away for . . .almost two years, and a lot's happened in that time! Most importantly:



    My fiancee of two and a half years married my ugly leprachaun-looking ass nine months ago. It was awesome.

    Mrs. Leslie Baugh, everyone!

    Last year I attended the IFCC (International Festival of Creative Communication) in Zagreb. Not going this year, but a bunch of creatives behind and associated with the festival have cooked up a short film as an intro to the festival, and I think it's pretty damn sweet:

    I've often wondered why nobody really tried to break off and create niche twitter-like sites, instead of repeating the birdsite's model and going "general interest" over and over again.

    Social networks are a bore and tiring, but this one interests me.

    Once they open up for new members, I'll check it out. It just seems like a bigger twitter that goes chronological instead of whatever twitter does nowadays...

    Which, by the way, I hate. I don't mind my favorite users getting sent to the top, but it's hard to just get it back to being in order again.
