    TV: I (almost) got away with it,.

    There's this neat show on The discovery channel called "I (almost) got away with it" which showcases some of the most near-perfect crimes in history. How did these criminals almost get away? Any way you are probably thinking to yourself so fucking what? A crime re-enactment show, whoopty-do. First off, fun to watch in that Jerry Springer, Cops white trashy drama kinda fun.
    Also, I had an audition today to be the *LEAD* of episode 8 of Season 2. I think it went surprisingly well, and I'd bet I'll get the role! I'll be playing the part of a Texan militant secessionist who takes a family hostage and then flees the authorities when he releases the hostages. I'm pretty excited, I may be on tv, yo! I was an extra in S02E01, though it was a part so small it's hardly worth elaborating on. I'll keep you all updated, I'll know on Monday if I get the part. Filming starts on Sept 6th. I'm excited, always wanted to be an actor; big money, easy job.

    PS: It'll be hella more fun to be an actor for a week than my usual cycling hardware engineering self =D

    When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments. Here was a machine of precision and balance for the convenience of man. And (unlike subsequent inventions for man's convenience) the more he used it, the fitter his body became. Here, for once, was a product of man's brain that was entirely beneficial to those who used it, and of no harm or irritation to others. Progress should have stopped when man invented the bicycle. ~Elizabeth West, Hovel in theHills

    You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.

    I sort of got a promotion, more much more responsibility at work, immediately. Which interferes with my plans, so I've asked for a week off. They owe it to me, and my boss knows I've been planning something. So, here's to hoping, it's the only thing that stands in my way.

    Vacation approved! It's friggin' on now! I'm gonna be an actor.

    also, thanks for all the congrats. I <3 Gotwoot

    I do my part for Mother earth by not driving. Only bike and public transport =D.

    Filming starts on moday, got the script last night. There 20 pages of scenes, and it looks like I'm in most of them.

    Sweet, you're going to portray one of the criminals we see in re-enactments on shows like America's Most Wanted? I've always wondered about those guys. It's funny to realize they are actors and not actually criminals, though you may feel the misdirected karmic hate flowing when we watch your scene.


    “For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”

    It's kinda like that. My episode is going to revolve entirely around me. I'm in damn near all the scenes. The stories are real, we know what happened IRL from talking to the real people involved, may even use there real voices in the voice over narrations.
    It *DOES* feel kinda weird being this hardcore evil criminal guy. I had to spend hours and hours today screaming at this '80 yo' couple, and to be honest, I felt kinda bad. So, I've tried to slip gotwoot twice into the ep and think so far I've failed, but I'll keep at it.
    Acting is EX.HAUST.ING. it's like 10-14 hr days, and at a super high intensity all day. We'll probably film at least 50-60 hrs of film for the 44 min ep. It's also incredibly fun, especially for someone like me. More details to come in time, just thought I'd check in and say hi. Hi.
    Also, this episode is apparently one of the crews favorite, or at least one that they are super excited about because of how fun and nuts this one is. So, be excited, be be excited. Be excited, be be excited.=D when this airs, it's gonna rock.

    Also, just getting to each day's shoot has been an adventure in and of itself since I don't have a car. We are shooting all over teh bay, Treasure island, Petaluma out in the boonies, Novato, concord... So I've had to play a lot of tricky, tricky games to get there each day at 7am. Sleeping and driving in and with weird folks and places. It's been one hell of a trip so far. Best Vacation from work EVAR!
