Trachibrod in Everything is Illuminated


Skipping stones across St. Martin's Canal in Amelie.

"Land your stag."

Here are some more picture from Gentlemen Broncos. Here we are shooting out at Stansbury Island out at the Great Salt Lake.




If you look in the middle of the frame there's a little black square with a white X on it. That's a bag filled with gasoline set to ignite when it hits the rock.

Battle stag









Those are paintball guns attached to that cross beam and aligned to shoot to each side of the Sam Rockwell.





This is what those paintball guns are shooting. Glass marbles covered in hard plastic ($2 each).


















































































































That's right, the battle stage has a rocket launcher that comes out its ass.

This is my job

As I already mentioned, I was let go from the accounting department of Gentlemen Broncos at the beginning of March. Well, I ended up back on there for about a month at the end of the film. This time I was in the art department doing set dressing. Needless to say, the art department is a lot more fun than accounting. I would attempt to explain what I do, but I would rather give a visual.



























Yes, those are jars of testicles. For two days or so, we made around forty-five jars just like these. They are made up of turkey testicles, modeling clay, and cheese and the pink stringy stuff coming off is fiberglass insulation. They are a very integral part of the story ;)

"Sometimes nothin can be a real cool hand"

A great moment from one of my favorite movies.

Nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile.

Tonight I came down to our spare bedroom, read poetry, wrote and listened to Clair de Lune by Debussy and right now I feel so great my eyes are beginning to water. I'm not sure what or why exactly, but I feel this overwhelming feeling of love, an everything will work out feeling, and it's not that I have been feeling frantic lately or like everything is not alright. I do get the occasional worry of how are we going to get to Europe, or when will I finish school, or lately I have thought a little about my financial situation, being unemployed and all, but all in all I feel really good about where I am. I am only 26 and the world holds endless possibilities for me that will unfold in due time. I just got a text from Julia that says "Get ready because when I come home we're making out." See, the unfolding has begun. ;)
Cheers.

Bond Company Stooges

I was let go today from Gentlemen Broncos. It started on Tuesday, Krystal said that me leavin for school was a bigger problem than they initially had anticipated. I was told that they were going to have me work three days and not have me come in on the days I go to school. They were going to hire a clerk for those two days to come in and do filing and stuff on the days I wasn't there. Then today when I went in Ami said that we needed to have a chat. She told me that the bond company said that they had to have someone there full time and they were going to have to let me go. Sucks.

What I heard

"These are turkey testicles. Do you think they would be good for the bobcat?" (props guy to animal wrangler)

Awesome huh? Not something I ever thought I would hear, but I'm glad I did.
