I've had considerably bad luck when it comes to water getting into my apartments. This video captures probably the worst it's ever been (back on January 10, 2009). I'm not sure exactly what happened, but it involved the washing machine hookup or associated pipes in the apartment above mine.

The resulting flood left about half an inch of water on one section of the kitchen linoleum (until it spread out) and totally soaked about half the rug in the bedroom.

At least my current apartment complex responds promptly and usually fixes things well.

On May 15, as part of the Bella Morte show at Jaxx in Springfield, VA, a new and fully transformed version of Blind Till Now took the stage for the first time. This is one of the songs they performed.

"Sweet As Love"
Original music by Blind Till Now
Lyrics by Matrin Buxbaum

The small camera I had doesn't do the sound justice... in person it was a bit smoother on either end of the spectrum... and, of course, the low light has left me with a grainy image.

Also on stage that night: Middle Child Syndrome, Ego Likeness and, of course, Bella Morte.

Genesis, Version 2.0.

Text by Michael Shermer, editor of "Sceptic Magazine" and author of "Why Darwin Matters":

"To convey the logical absurdity of trying to squeeze the round peg of science into the square hole of religion, I penned the following scientific revision of the Genesis creation story. It is not intended as a sacrilege of the poetic beauty of Genesis; rather, it is a mere extension of what the creationists have already done to Genesis in their insistence that it be read not as mythic saga but as sci­entific prose. If Genesis were written in the language of modern science, it would read something like this."

This is a banned cartoon from the banned episode, Elephant Issues. It's about the dangers of alcohol. This cartoon was only shown once in America, when it first aired, afterwards, it was never shown again on TV in America in later channels like Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network. I can't say if it was banned in other countries like Canada or Mexico.

***THIS IS A FAN MADE TRAILER***
This is my vision for a Green Lantern movie with Nathan Fillion as Hal Jordan. He won't be Hal for real, but all the more reason for a fan trailer!

For the record, I did this purely for fun, with NO intention of "fooling" anyone or covering the fact that I used clips from other movies.
The whole point of it for me was to imagine what it would be like to see a great Green Lantern movie.

Shots I adapted from the following movies, tv shows, and trailers:
Planet of the Apes
Serenity Trailer
Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer
Stardust Trailer
The Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring
Firefly
Dragonball Evolution Trailer
Galaxy Quest
The Fountain Trailer
Superman Returns Trailer
The Day the Earth Stood Still
Smallville
Justice League TAS
GI Joe Trailer
Contact

Special Thanks to Mike Afford for a few brief clips from his Fan Trailer including the final logo:

I used Adobe After Effects and Photoshop to manipulate the original clips, and used Final Cut Pro to edit it all together.

I would like to give major credit to Andrew Kramer from
http://www.videocopilot.net, who (via tutorials) taught me everything I know in After Effects and I would not have been able to do most of this without that. I'm more of an editor than an effects guy, so thanks Andrew!

Also, thanks to WormyT for the inspiration to do this again!
