from the lonely island, the guys who brought you “lazy sunday” and “dick in a box.” I’ve been a fan of theirs for years, so it’s great to see they’re really hitting their stride right now.
lately I’ve been on the hunt for songs I haven’t listened to in a while, and tonight it’s the first mates of state song I ever heard called leave me at the tree. it’s off their split 7″ with a band called fighter d and was released back in ‘99.

I present to you…
I’m currently piecing together the parts that would eventually become my new comedy short film entitled 8 Days Later. this is a film in which I am the writer, director and actor.
I had a meeting the other day to go over the storyboard and it’s looking a little bit like this:

I’ll be posting updates. we’re looking to shoot in early august.

to those of you who don’t own multi-region playing dvd players (what good are you, anyway?) the day has come to rejoice.
spaced is finally available to american audiences!
spaced is/was the sitcom that was created by the genius minds that went on to make shaun of the dead and hot fuzz. if you thought those movies were clever, your asses will be floored when spaced hits your television set.
mark your calendars now!
