After an impromptu, unofficial world premiere at Flickerings, my third film, "Ernest Goes to the Window," will be having its official premiere as part of MicroCineFest in Baltimore sometime between Wednesday, October 15th and Sunday, October 19th. More details will be posted as I get them. My acceptance letter says that 250 entries were received; given the quality of "Ernest," I am currently assuming that at least 240 were accepted.
Also, my fourth film, "S.C.," will be screening in Richmond as part of the "Attack of the 50-Foot Reels" program at 8:00p on September 24th. Film festivals have no taste.

Phone companies are stupid.
We are having a problem with our phone at home: It dials out without a problem but if you call our phone, you hear a half-ring, a click, five seconds of silence, and then the connection isn't. Connected, that is. On our end, we hear the shortest ring in the history of rings.
By plugging a phone into where the line comes into our house, we have figured out that it is the phone company's fault, and not ours, so our phone company has given us three convenient windows for us to choose from and then wait at the house for them to come and fix it. Those windows:
Thursday, 8:00a to 6:00p.
Friday, 8:00a to 6:00p.
Saturday, 8:00a to 6:00p.
Thank you, Verizon, for making us wait at the house for only 10 hours.
i sincerely do not know what you are doing here. are you lost? were you
looking for your delicate calico cat, and did you follow her up two flights of stairs
to this room? she is not here. she was here, yes. we gave her a warm bowl of milk, we talked with her about campaign finance reform for a time, and then she bid us good day. i believe she was
going to the post office two blocks down, but i don't quite recall.
for surely you did
not find your way from prinsiana, the least traveled site on
the internet. if you did, though, perhaps you are looking for humor. perhaps you are looking for profundity. perhaps you are looking for answers.
i'm sorry, but you shall go naught-for-three.
