Tony Clifton manhandles a hot chick

Rosie

Almost every day I wish I had known Rosie Rebel before she got into Columbia University, when she had more time for projects. But backwards retroactive wishes are pointless, I need to be re-educated on magical thinking haha.

I need more women for the show, believe it or not. I think I just need to keep having new women on and see if any of them come back on their own organically. I'd like to have regular people but I also don't want the drama that comes with familiarity breeding contempt and so forth. Also I don't like issuing orders, I like collaborating, and collaboration occurs between peers. Peers also have rivalries and jealousies and ego issues.

That's why I wish I knew Rosie earlier, she doesn't have those issues. And she's the only one that makes fun of me or imitates me that doesn't annoy me. When I get overdramatic or say something stupid, she imitates me and we both laugh. If she weren't so busy we could call it the Rosie Rebel show, I would be fine with that. But she is busy so I'm not going to do that.

"You look like an actor"

I went into Wendy's to get a 99 cent baked potato and was annoyed to discover that the price has gone up to $1.49. I was debating internally whether it was really worth $1.50 to have someone microwave a 20 cent potato when the woman behind the counter started talking to me.

I had to turn down my mp3 player because it didn't sound like she was asking to take my order.

It turned out she was asking me if I was an actor. I said no. She looked at me like she didn't believe me, so I told her I'm too shy to even go on stage. She laughed but still kept eying me sideways.

Maybe she was trying to pick me up. Maybe I should have let her! Hey she has a steady job, she could support me in the style to which I've become accustomed.

Rosie Rebel & I making weird short films to bother you

Phoenix Rising

Anna's Phoenix

I was walking around in the sun just before, listening to mp3's.

The Breeders were singing to me,
"Still the sun shines! The sun shines!!!
We're gonna rise--
feel the light on my face!"
The sun WAS shining and I DID feel the light on my face.
It felt like the first time I'd felt it since I guess 2001 or so.

I'd been saying to my last partner,
just before we split up,
that the time for trying to fit in and be mainstream was over.
This particular ex-partner sings very beautiful but very
middle-of-the-road music.
I told her that with Obama coming in, it's time for artists
to be ARTISTS again-- visionaries and prophets,
not court jesters, "gangstas," bullies or Britney hacks
(not that she was or is any of these things-- she's still my friend).
I told her that I should be working with artists that were
pulling me to be more daring and original,
not someone that was
pulling me toward the mainstream.
I really wasn't very nice about it, but it was a sudden epiphany
and you have no choice but to go with those when they hit you.
My thinking is that right now,
the mainstream is about to become whatever the
coolest artists who get into the media
manage to MAKE it.


There was nothing like Beavis and Butthead in the mainstream
until Beavis and Butthead was in the mainstream in the early 90s.
Before that, Winger was actually popular (sorry, Reb).
In the later 60's, when the Beatles
decided that songs about LSD were
mainstream boy band music, then they were.
Before the Beatles, Pat Boone was a symbol
of the mainstream in music.
There are times of artistic renaissance
where things become sane
for a short period,
and artists get to have a larger say
in what subjects get talked about,
what attitudes are acceptable,
and

Plus for whatever reason, I'm not happy
unless I have a star walking around for me to videotape.

Jacques' latest invention

That's just how I talk to chicks, get off my back.

Underground 3D genius Mcasual Jacques has invented new software:
http://www.geocities.com/mcasualjacques/texanim/

Jacques just created a way that you can have 3D animated actors (in a FREE 3D program that ANYBODY can download and learn pretty quickly) act in front of a pre-shot video. In this way, for free, you can have animated characters interact with your live action footage and not have any bluescreen or greenscreen artifacts.

It would look better if I shot my video on high definition as Lisa keeps asking me to make happen, but it works well enough for the internet as is.

Jacques brings big budget tricks to the everyman animator, Jacques is the TRUE Patron Saint of the 3D Artist Underclass.

It looks like the early Jim Woodring version of Darth Vader.
