My Affair With Progeny

By jelewis8 ⋅ April 9, 2007 ⋅ 2 comments

First, the news. I survived Lent, which is similar to a futuristic battle royale where man fights for his very survival against the machines he made. Lent is a demilitarized zone of vice, where a cease-fire keeps the vicious populace at bay. But it’s an uneasy peace, and everyone knows it’s only a temporary solution, [...]

Lent and Rent

By jelewis8 ⋅ March 28, 2007 ⋅ 4 comments

Honestly, giving up coffee for Lent…not a smart idea. I can see giving up buying four-ply toilet paper–who needs more than two plies? Is it plies? Or plys? Either way, there should be a max ply count for any day of the year, regardless of Lent, so if you’re in the four-ply crowd, come down [...]

Looking Through The Lens of Spring

By jelewis8 ⋅ March 21, 2007 ⋅ 4 comments

The Spring-iness of the day was somewhat spoiled by the fact that I spent it indoors staring at a computer screen. Oh poor me, I have a job, I get paid to sit on my tookus and work my magic. The day was nice though. I have a decent view, if I swivel around in [...]

Back On The Fritz

By jelewis8 ⋅ March 20, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

I swear I think the days are getting shorter, not longer. It’s not because I’m getting taller. I’ve measured, and I’m holding steady at 6’0. And it’s not because the sun’s dying, as is posited in the new Danny Boyle film Sunshine. I know for a fact that the sun is pretty young, by star [...]

When Life Gives You Lemons

By jelewis8 ⋅ March 13, 2007 ⋅ One comment

Since taking a break from the blog, I’ve gotten into a car accident, discovered my insurance was cancelled without my approval or awareness, killed my computer, and I’ve also not done any writing. On the other hand, I did save money on my car insu– Oh. Sometimes life chooses to throw lemons at you. Often [...]

Pinky Swear

By jelewis8 ⋅ March 8, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

There isn’t a lot that comes out of my mouth these days that isn’t either overly long and so far from the point Euclid would likely have an epileptic fit at the disgrace I’m showing his first dimensional construct, or short, matter of fact, and uninteresting. This may be partially due to my schedule, which [...]

Half Glass Man

By jelewis8 ⋅ March 1, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

No Fringecast. Sorry friends. When your life is split between working a fulltime job, writing projects that have been slathered in potential career boosting juice, keeping up with a mildly interesting blog, directing and producing a short film that has been called “the coolest Christian sex thriller short since, well, ever” (okay, so it hasn’t, [...]

Down With The Man

By jelewis8 ⋅ February 27, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

I feel like “teh suck” due either to abnormal weather conditions (for what I’m used to) or I’ve just been running myself quite down to the nub, and simply don’t have the white blood cells to combat the germs that constantly rage against the machine. That’s how it is, though. We’re The Man to germs, [...]

Colon Cleansing

By jelewis8 ⋅ February 16, 2007 ⋅ 2 comments

The short film has a title: “The Canal,” which is everything you don’t expect from a movie with that kind of title. It’s a throwaway title, a gimme title, a title that sort of says everything and nothing at the same time. I know none of this makes sense without the script in your hands, [...]

The Valentine’s Day Dog Show

By jelewis8 ⋅ February 14, 2007 ⋅ One comment

It’s that time of year again. When hearts and cockles are warmed in a soft, warming afterglow of a soft, warming afterglow. That’s exponential afterglow for ya. Feel that yammering in your chest? The pulsing of your breath, the quickening of your pulse, the flutter of butterflies in your stomach, your stomach swirling like a [...]
