"What I want to say is, I want to thank anyone who spends part of their day creating. I don't care if it's a book, a film, a painting, a dance, a piece of theater, a piece of music, anybody -- anybody who spends part of their day sharing their experience with us, I think this world would be unliveable without art, and I thank you. That includes the Academy, that includes my fellow nominees here tonight. Thank you for inspiring me. Thank you for this. "
-Steven Soderbergh (Best Director)

And oh yeah, props to Cameron Crowe who finally got his first Oscar for writing Almost Famous (awesome movie).

Stagnant has wrapped up shooting. Yes, you heard right. We filmed some of the stuff a few days ago and the rest was finished today. We celebrated by going to the ol' chinese buffet, the place where we all met to discuss Stagnant the first day. Of course it was only me, Nick, and Mike but it was still nice.

Here's some more info on what will follow:. A Stagnant page on this site (Riggedproductions.com) will pop up within the next few days or week or so. This will document more on what's going on with Stagnant as well as have some new pics from the latest shoot. Right now, I'm saying Stagnant will be out and distributed in 2002. That sounds like far off or whatever, but it's a good cushion because it could mean early 2002 or late, so there's no pressure. During my last term at school I'm going to look over all the footage and plan out how I will edit it and during the summer I'll edit it hardcore. Untill then, I'm not touching the footage. There's quite a few things to do yet that isn't related to Stagnant, like the digital media video. Stay tuned. It was quite exciting to wrap up.

This is why I'm having a good day. No updates, but here's what happened to me today. I'll narrate it like a screenplay..

Ok, so you know when you go to the dentist... the nurse or assistant or whatever does most of the stuff. Well, it's my first time at this new dentist place so this girl (i'm guessing mid twenties) takes all my xrays and I'm smiling a lot and making her laugh cause I had to stick this thing in my mouth and get it xrayed like 15 times.

So, anyway she's cleaning my teeth and she's asking me about college and all. Then she asks...

"So, do you have a girlfriend?"

"Nope"

"Awww Really, Someone as cute as you?"

"Yeah...I dunno.." (feeling really good at this point and smiling)

"Girls are too much trouble huh?"

"Guess so." (Smile again)

"Well there's a blonde here around your age maybe she'll bring in your xrays."

Lots of smiling and laughing =)

Anyway, the xrays come in and she starts nudging me and I start laughing and smiling and she all points over to the girl lol.

She was like, "Ok, so she didn't do her hair today" and smiled. She was so nice.

That really made my day. Word up.

Oh yeah, I CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK TO THE DENTIST! WOOHOOO!!!!

I'm doing a lot of small things for this site right now, like making each page look a little better and tighter. And also putting things like the stickman icons in the right section. Anyways, I just watched Almost Famous and it's really good. I really reccomend it. Tommorow I watch Wonder Boys...

Well, I'm back home for our week off. (I think they call it this thing called "spring break" where we're supposed to go off to some island or on a vacation and get with a bunch of hot girls.) But, anyway, it's more like get a week off to spend staring at the walls back home.

Anyway, due to the fact most of my stuff is at the dorms, there will probably be limited updates this week. To top it off, I'm getting my ass kicked by some cold, it just won't go away. Which means I've been in bed sleeping and watching movies. Thank God for Blockbuster, my source for entertainment. Woohoo! Um, yeah..

In other news...a film you haven't heard much in a while from: Stagnant is showing life again. During the week off me and Nick will be filming a scene or two and try to piece together the footage we have. Stagnant will probably see some editing spring and summer.

My first film and video class starts this upcoming spring term when I get back, so that should be fun. As far as the merchandise I had up for sale recently, I took that link down. I just recieved one of the over priced mousepads and it was pretty crappy looking. I think I have to rescan it or something. Anyway, until I get that straightened out, blow your money on donations heehee. That's all for now, enjoy what you have.
