so it turns out there is a dj in detroit named mike geiger. the music he makes isnt really the kind of stuff im into, but despite the obvious argument that my presence at a show put on by mike geiger may cause a wormhole or tear in the space-time continuum or something like that...im now wondering what might happen if i got myself on down to detroit to watch the man with the same name as myself play to man with the same name as himself...
i know...my mind is like completely blown too

cuddle sticks reviewed
from the Portland Mercury:
Spike and Mike's Sick and Twisted Animation Festival is like eating too many delicacies in one sitting—caviar, brains, truffles, chocolates... it's a bit intense. But it's not the "sick" or the "twisted" that's too much—96 minutes just isn't enough time to digest all the animation shorts that get thrown your way. (Granted, we're talking about ruminating about masturbating pandas, but still.)
Spike and Mike's has had a loyal following of gross-out fans since 1990, and this year's 26 new films follow the fest's tried-and-true formula, with a couple of old favorites thrown in. Standouts include Mike Geiger's Cuddle Sticks, which features the most disgusting popsicle imaginable, and Jeff Chiba Stearns' Yellow Sticky Notes, which, while neither sick nor twisted, is more than a little touching. And Patrick Smith's Puppet is one of the nicest animation pieces in the batch.
If you're still sitting on the fence, YouTube Cox & Combes' Washington, one of the festival's included shorts: It's a Ween-esque song about the feats of George Washington, by Brad Neely. "Got a wig for his wig/Got a brain for his heart/He'll kick you apart." If it's not enough to convince you of the Tao of Spike and Mike, I'm not sure what is. Who couldn't like the fact that George Washington "made love like an eagle falling out of the sky"?

this thing needs some spice...
i was talking briefly with jamie this morning about why blogs are the uncool these days, and im thinking its probably from not enough regularity to attract people back...( lots of blogs, not lots of updates).
given i cant always be posting things up here consistently because since im an animator, and one project usually takes a few weeks or months to complete, im at a little bit of a loss...i've been posting now since 2004, so its fair to think that it might be time to change things up.
if anyone has any ideas out there to make this thing a little more fun, let me know...
ima go to the track now and bet on horses...
if i come home rich...maybe ill start posting in gold.
