I accidentally deleted the original post for this.. Here is a sketch depicting the idea I have for the costume. The illusion is a rear entry gun wound that creates a hole tin the body that you can look through. The details are inspired by “Evil Ash” from Army of Darkness and the main idea from Death Becomes Her. Here’s the Flickr set.

I may have a professional interest in video, but I can’t even begin to compete with this dynamic duo! Fred & Sharon have inspired me to go back to school and brush up on my skills. Maybe one day I can run my own successful movie business too!

I’m obsessed with nature documentaries done by the BBC. I used my Halloween prize at Amazon this past year to get the Planet Earth box set, and I’ve also acquired the Blue Planet series as well. I love Sir David Attenborough.

I had this dream the other night that I was in this library in the future, and any subject you were interested in was searchable on computers to this video database that David Attenborough had created. So you would type in: Intersexed sea creatures, and Sir Attenborough would pop up and explain what this was all about and how it relates to humanity.

In lieu of my dream database actually existing, I’m going to try and collect everything possible he has made. The next collection will be Life of Mammals, I saw the Meat Eaters episode and it was awesome.
Here’s my amazon wish list, if you’re wondering what to get me for my birthday.

David Attenborough’s #1 moment - an amazing Lyre Bird that can imitate all sorts of sounds, natural and man made:

My online documentary watching pastime took a giant kick in the balls last week with the end of Stage6. Stage6 was my go-to source for streaming movies, shows and docs. But like all things to good to be true, it’s over. Now it’s crappy Google video or youtube I guess. Veoh might take over some of the need, I was using it when I started using Stage 6 originally, but the benefits of streaming won me over and I abandoned Veoh. In truth, it doesn’t take that long to download and I think they are supporting divX now.

I did find a great documentary about the Aquatic Ape hypothesis on youtube last night. The quality is poor but watchable.
Aquatic Ape Part 1

Super interesting ideas, great argument and potential. Anthropologists are haters, and it would be great if they did the science to either prove or dismiss the idea; that humans might have spent some time in the water during our evolutionary history.
And of course, here it is presented by Sir David Attenborough, I recommend part 2:
Scars of Evolution.
