Sara and I are going to Las Vegas this week. We get there Monday evening and leave Wednesday afternoon.

My goal is to eat at In-N-Out 10 times. I will count one “time” as the ordering and consumption of at least one double double. Most “times” will probably consist of a double double, fries and a Diet Coke with no ice, however, if I can only handle a double double and a drink, I’ll still count that as a “time.”

Sitting down to eat, finishing my food, and then walking outside and coming back in to get a drink will not count as a “time” unless I order and consume another double double upon returning.

Eating a 4×4 will not count as two “times.”

My previous best at the over-consumption of In-N-Out was on March 12, 2005 when I ate there three times in one day. This will be a much greater task.

All the editing is done on The Bad Seed. Right now, I’m waiting for a few test clips to render so I can put them on tape and watch them on an actual TV to check on some color correction and other image adjustments.

In the fall of 2003 I pitched this project to Sharon Teo as an independent study. I wrote the script about a month later and cast Joe and Lee. After meeting several times with Joe, Lee and Scott, we started actual production more than a year later in October of 2004. Here’s a blog post I wrote about what was “a milestone in production” back in January 2005. Two years and a month later and I’m finally finishing the thing. It’s funny - in that post I wrote “The Bad Seed will probably be just shy of two years when it is completed.”

Thanks to everybody who has helped - assembling the credits has shown me just how many people are involved in making a no-budget student film.

I’m supposed to be editing right now so instead I ended up looking on YouTube for clips of The KLF (one of my favorite groups of all time).

Here is the video for “What Time is Love,” the White Room version. They’ve done so many different versions of this song I lose count, but this is the UK version of the video.

The videos off the White Room were all very similar. Here are “3 A.M. Eternal,” probably the biggest hit in the US, followed by “Justified and Ancient,” the song that featured Tammy Wynette on vocals.

This is the video for “America, What Time is Love?” yet another version of the aforementioned song.

Here’s a news clip on the Acid Brass project, in which a brass band performed covers of acid house classics. The KLF’s “What Time is Love” is featured in this piece.

Inspired by Acid Brass to create yet another revision of their classic “What Time is Love,” the KLF reformed in 1997 as 2K to release “***K the Millennium,” which includes my favorite church hymn as well as samples from “Theme from Shaft” and “Don’t Take Five.”

Enjoy!

This short film was created by my friend John Thorson, with whom I have collaborated on four pages of a comic entitled “One Man Army” and many other ideas that will never actually be finished (if started). So John made this movie and I wanted to spread the cheer.

One quick warning - there is some strong language in text form, in case that affects when and where you view it.

Hopefully the answer to that is yes, because I just don’t want to wrap my mind around how you could read that question and answer no, but I was just wondering if anyone reads this blog. I don’t mean this from any kind of self-pitiful perspective, because I know I don’t actually update it all that often. I’m just curious. Most of the comments I get are from spammers, and I’m not sure they’re actually taking the time to read the blog. Call it a hunch.

So what I’m asking of you is, if you ever stop by to read this blog, please leave me a comment on this post. You don’t need to identify yourself or make an actual comment, but maybe just say “Hello” or “I occasionally visit” for the purposes of my unofficial census.

Former Lincoln musician and cool guy Thomas Irvin created this parody of the Ginger ten Bensel song “I Love Nebraska.”

Here’s the parody:

And here’s the original:

From The Reader’s Media Notes blog:

In a front page story in Tuesday’s editions of the Omaha World-Herald, reporter Jake Thompson refers to Chuck Hagel as “Nebraska Senator Chuck Hagel.” But Ben Nelson is identified only as “Nebraska Democrat Ben Nelson” and not as a United States Senator.
