Someone hit me with a ‘Merry Christmas.'
Put the sleigh back in the garage. Don’t thaw out Mariah Carey just yet. Halloween’s not even cold in the grave. Let the fog machines cool off before we start jingling bells.

Even though I have a commissioned painting calling my name, I still found myself winding down with a little sketch before bed. Sometimes you need a quick creative pause to keep the spark alive.

Remember, remember!
The fifth of November,
The Gunpowder treason and plot;
I know of no reason
Why the Gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot!
Guy Fawkes and his companions
Did the scheme contrive,
To blow the King and Parliament
All up alive.

@avidprotools.bsky.social Why can't you fix Pro Tools on Windows? It's absolutely terrible. I'm seriously considering cancelling my incredibly expensive subscription and switching to a different DAW. This is unacceptable. If you don't care about Windows users, just go back to being Mac-only.

In the hush before midnight, the world forgets to breathe
Pumpkins flicker like trembling hearts in the dark
Old secrets rise with the fog, knocking on closed doors
And shadows remember the names we try to forget

It honestly surprises me how many people I know are being deceived by AI videos.
I think, at this point, simply assume a video is fake until proven otherwise.

Found a relic: the lyric notebook for my first band, THAT AWFUL NOISE. We were a chaotic mix of Violent Femmes & Dead Milkmen. We weren't geniuses, but my god, we were alive. #punkrock #punksnotdead #punk #lyrics

The Paris Catacombs will soon close for renovations, but on Nov 2, the night after Halloween, visitors can descend one last time into the dark tunnels lined with skulls and bones. From 7:30 p.m. to midnight, experience the eerie silence before the gates close on Nov 3. Tickets open Oct 26. #paris

The Doctor’s House in Glendale was built in the 1880s and once home to generations of doctors who cared for the dying. When it was moved to Brand Park in the 1970s, something else came too. Visitors report footsteps, missing tools, and a pale woman in white watching from the window. #haunted #spooky

Trump’s threat to label non-profits as “terrorists” is not politics; it is an attack on civil society. We have seen this before with the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act, which targets activists who threaten profits. When protest is called terror, dissent dies. Defend empathy and conscience.

Imagine if Biden threw a national tantrum over a broken escalator! MAGA can’t decide: is Trump the toughest man alive, or just a guy who can’t handle a set of stairs?
This country is fucked. I have a headache. I need some Tylenol Extended Release The Epstein Files!

Congratulations to @jimmykimmel.com on his triumphant return!
Last night he was pitch-perfect. Inspirational, self-reflective, gracious to his haters, championing the 1st Amendment & most importantly: FUNNY.
(Shout-out to Robert DeNiro as the mob-boss head of the FCC)😆

The past is gone. The future has not yet arrived. And the present has no thickness at all. Does time itself even exist?
These are the thoughts that haunt me when I first wake up.

Travel to France & the EU is changing!
• Oct 12, 2025 - New EES system: no more passport stamps, but biometrics (face + fingerprints) at the border.
• Late 2026 - ETIAS: a €20 pre-travel authorization (like the U.S. ESTA), valid 3 years.
Plan ahead. New rules mean longer lines at first!

I like staying in Video Village about as much as I like photos of myself. Which is to say, not much. Directing isn't about observing from a distance; it's about feeling the energy of the scene firsthand, That's where the truth of the moment is born.

Beginning the last few days of pick ups for my lastest feature.
These final days hum with that bittersweet film alchemy, exhaustion mixed with the profound ache of letting go. Soon comes the quiet after the storm, carrying the memories that will outlive all of us.
