I know.. I know.. I don’t update this thing enough.. one day it will happen.. I promise. When I say I promise.. I mean.. I probably won’t.. but if it makes you feel better I’ll be glad to lie to you.
I recently had my 31st birthday and Shelley and I went to Disneyworld to celebrate. I had a great time. One of the things we did was see two movies that day.. as I love movies.. and we don’t always have time (and I don’t have the patience for movie-going audiences) to see them. We saw Land of the Lost and The Hangover. I thought they were both hilarious and you should go see them both.. but a few people have been hating on me because of my love for Land.. and I don’t get it.
I never expected it to be a special effects champion. I mean.. the effects were horrible.. and pretty on par with the latest X-Men movie.. but I wasn’t watching it for the effects. I wasn’t watching it for story or plot development either. I had a good idea of the Saturday morning show from a while ago and wanted to see an updated version of it.. starring two of the funniest people on Earth. Accomplished. Will Ferrel is a comic genius (I’d still like to see a movie with him and Dave Chappelle sitting in a room together trying to be funnier than the other) and Danny McBride is proving to be funnier than I even thought humanly possible. Watching the flick gave me (and Shelley) more laughs than we have had in a long time. You should go see it.. twice. I’m wanting to go back.. and can’t wait for the DVD. Also, East Bound and Down comes out on DVD June 30th.. you should get two copies of that as well.
Let’s see.. I have moved studios.. (as of this writing I still have a few more things to move out of my old studio.. whoops) and I’m loving the new studio. It’s got good studio mates, a good vibe, and I feel I can get some work done there. Speaking of work… I’ve been busy. It’s kinda great.. and kinda not so great.. not so great in that I enjoy being lazy kind of way.
August 24 – September 4 I’ll be having a show at the USF Centre Gallery entitled Hookers and Autobots which will be recent work of mine all based on pop culture hollywood films and the like. You should check it out indeed. The week after I’ll be in another show at the Centre Gallery with the rest of the USF MFAO. And then September 8 – 11th [ fladry + jones ] will be doing an exhibit and performance (on the 11th) entitled Greed is Good. Busy times ahead.
I’ve also been doing some work here and there for some other artist and did some video work in downtown Tampa recently.. it’s been fun. I don’t really have much more that I feel like saying right now.. until next time I remember to post…
