BEST PORTRAIT EVER
My five year old niece Isabella drew a picture of her Uncle Rick this weekend.
The accuracy is undeniable. That is, indeed, me holding a bunch of balloons. I forgot to ask what that thing on the left is. I assume it's a video camera so maybe I'm performing on television.
The girl's a genius, I tell you.

THIS WEEK IN TIME
It seems that some publications have their issues coincide in order to bring a specific subject more coverage. Take for instance this special edition issue of Scientific American.
The entire issue is devoted to the subject of time including the study of time travel, a subject I'm fascinated with. I read most of it yesterday and, as usual for a science journal discussing quantum physics and wormholes, it made my head hurt.
Today, I saw a newspaper with an even wider circulation than Scientific American tackle the subject of time travel.
"The world's only reliable newspaper", indeed!
This made my head hurt, too; mostly from the smell of the newsprint.

VERONICA
I sang Elvis Costello's Veronica last night at a restaurant that happened to be doing karaoke. I got sucked in since it was the first karaoke setup that actually had Elvis Costello songs, so I had to get my wail on. It didn't help that the singing was being done about 4 feet from our table. I also sang EC's Radio, Radio. Both songs aren't particularly happy tunes, but they're very upbeat so it gets the crowd going no matter how bad I butchered 'em. Lindsey was very supportive.
Drawn for a thread on The Drawing Board
GREY'S ANATOMY
I totally forgot about it, but I worked on an effects sequence for tonight's episode of Grey's Anatomy. (At least I think it was tonight. The drama was to-be-continued from last week's episode.) Anyway, I assume the show usually doesn't have visual effects so if you saw it, then you know what I did.
I also worked on a few other projects, including the upcoming Larry the Cable Guy movie (here's where you say, "Somebody's making a goddamn Larry the Cable Guy movie?!?") and some Tom Selleck project which I probably shouldn't talk about even though I don't think anyone cares anymore if Magnum's still acting. It's also the second Tom Selleck-related thing I've worked on in the past year. Hey, we're both working!
