I finally put an HD version of this video online. I directed this video for Elan Vytal and Unconscious Logic. I also built all the sets and designed the costumes!

I’m a fan of UCB performer, College Humor personality, and all around megatalent Andree Vermeulen. Hey I didn’t know she had a website!

I definitely like the Jay-Z puppet better than the Yeezy puppet, which is weird, since the Yeezy puppet is official and the Jay one is not.
I mean that’s basically a photograph of Jay-Z.

I decided to take The Motherlode, my post-apocalyptic comedy SF novel(la) and put it in what I think is more or less proper manuscript format and print it out. I was feeling sort of vengeful against a particular tree. Anyways, this is what it looks like. Kind of cool. I wonder what it would be like to try and publish it?

• Michael Phelps won a gold medal incognito as beach volleyball player Kerri Walsh at the XXVIII Olympiad in Athens.

• Michael Phelps has been nominated for all of the Nobel Prizes except literature. He razed the city of Stockholm to teach the prize committee some manners.
• Half of Michael Phelps’s training regime remains shrouded in mystery as it takes place on a swamp planet in the Dagoba system. Just who is training him there, or what he is learning is the subject of much speculation.

• Barrack Obama pays Michael Phelps a royalty every time he uses the slogan “Yes We Can” or inspires a member of the younger generation.

My new favorite food blog, Consumed (I, This), is almost a riff on the format of The Sartorialist, but for food and (someday, I would hope) drink. That doesn’t exactly do it justice, since the aforementioned fashion blogger doesn’t get to eat his subjects, but the degree to which I feel jealous of these two bloggers is roughly equivalent. Truly they both travel in rarified worlds. The author of Consumed (I, This), however, sometimes invites me into his, as he’s my best friend Michael Hoffman.
