I thought I would drop by, since blogging is apparently temporarily en vogue again.
As many might know, Monica and I are now married. Life is (perhaps not surprisingly) very similar if not identical to how it was before the wedding, with the exception of the whole living-in-sin thing. We just got the official photos back yesterday, and have been looking through them, so expect a few to be posted soon. The photographer did some hilarious colorization shots that must be seen to be believed. One looks like I am about to vomit a nuclear orange mess.
Oh, and we got a new TV last weekend, so NY-based folks better be prepared for an upcoming round of excitement. It was supposed to be this weekend, but then my Xbox tragically died a few days ago, hours after booting up Halo 3. A tragedy, indeed. Then I called Microsoft's tech support in India, because the Xbox hardware failure rate is out of control, and the experience was really weird. After spending five minutes going over how to spell my name, we got to my address, and how the idea of New York scared her because of 9/11, and wasn't that crazy that so many people died? "... Yes, yes it was."
The other news, and the chief reason I have not had time to blog, is that I parted ways with Kim's Video, which has been my home for the past two years, and got a new, actual career-type job at a children's film festival, where I'm working on a Youtube-meets-kids' film festival thing that has a lot of potential. As one of the few employees, I spend my days organizing film databases, tracking down rights, writing the copy, talking with Europeans and discussing the best ways to sort (a combination of tags and Boolean logic was decided upon), and watching Crank Dat mashups. The website is aimed for a November 1st launch, so I anticipate my October could be filled with late nights and phone calls to Jeff about broken everythings, but it's exciting to have both a large-scale, ambitious project to work on, and a normalized schedule that lets Monica and I actually see each other.
