Andrea Grover & I went back to the Buffalo Bayou to do some location scouting. Andrea took this sweet photo of me and the Houston Skyline and we found the Houston Biodiesel plant. Check out their cool sign!

The second season on Big Love has finally started. For those of you who do not have HBO, you might want to come over and watch it! David Byrne is now the music producer of the show and thus far Season 2 has been as wonderful & odd as True Stories.

Last night Skip from A/V Geeks presented Daddy's Day at the Aurora Picture Show. The 16mm film program on fatherhood was culled from his archive of 19,000 education and industrial films. While the crowd loved it; heckling the actors and raucously laughing, my favorite part of the evening was bring home my own copy of To Skate.... an A/V Geeks compilation DVD that makes me long to be a teenager living in California during the late 1970's.

I love the narrator's burst of inspired poetry at the end of Magic Rolling Board, a celebratory film about skateboarding: "Magic Rolling Board, Magic Flying Wheels, Dance of Perpetual Motion"

Today we solved the problem of how to get our mail while traveling.
Earth Class Mail is a service for the 21st Century that picks up my mail from a post office box, scans the outside of the envelope and puts the scan on-line. I then have the choice of clicking: 1) Open envelope and scan contents for me 2) Forward unopened mail to me somewhere along the way 3) Recycle or Shred 4) Archive.
