Recently I saw Notorious, the story of Christopher 'Biggie' Wallace. I thought it was actually quite good. Apparently the movie shows Biggie's rise from a life as a looser to a well known artist but still sort of a jerk. Then when he stops singing about crime and becomes less of a jerk, a huge conflict erupts between Biggie and Tupac that neither of them know who started. Someone attacked Tupac and hit him really hard in the head and he panicked and then became violent and paranoid. He blamed all around him at the time for the attack and the most famous person in the room was Biggie. More drama happened, more records sold, Tupac was killed, even more record sold, Biggie was killed, more records were sold. The mystery of what happened to both Biggie and Tupac Shakur is still a mystery but it was interesting to see the movie. Angela Bassett was in it as Biggie mom and she was amazing.

I'm pissed off because Sandhurst or Johnathan did not win. Like, what the fuck. Johnathan and Sandhurst could have there own show. They make everything look good. Sandhurst should have won! "F"ers!

Some of you may know this story and some may not.

My wife is working on a book called "The White Cat". At a large meeting for her final edits a white cat showed up in our back yard eating uneaten food I chuck down the hill behind our house for local wildlife.



Days later when she was handing in the first final draft, I got drunk and burnt some popcorn in our basement. I open a door to air out the house and then slip off to bed. In the morning I shut the door and in the eve I realize that the white cat snuck in the house and was under the couch in the basement. We have adopted the cat and are hoping it is a good omen for the book. So what are the odds of an all white cat sneaking into a home of an author working on a book called "The White Cat"?

I (we) just finished The Infernal Devices site for Cassie Clare. The only part that is not done is the book section because we don't have enough book stuff yet. When we get stuff like the trailer, graphics etc. we will work on it but the pages for the series are up and they are very flashtastic even for us. There is a Clockwork angel, a cool clock, a crazy machine with interactive electricity, birds, gears, moving dust bits, downloadable wallpaper, and more so please check it out.

Some of you may not know this but for many years I have had reading problems. When I was young I would read all the time but as I got older I read less and less. The pages just seemed to get harder and harder to read. I didn't understand why this was because I stare at a screen all day altering images and codes. Recently I have been seeing a Chiropractic Neurologist for my vertigo and back/head pains. Her name is Megan Hudson and she has my same birthday oddly enough. Anyway, she told me that sometimes when things in the body are misaligned, odd things can happen to your vision. It is complicated but apparently my nerves are messed up and it is hard for me to process ots of small, high contrast bits of information like text on a page. If I wear red tinted glasses the spectrum is much easier to process and I can read fine. I have not been able to read fine in like 17 years. Once my parts are aligned properly I'll be fine. So if you or someone you know has been having trouble reading, get some of these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260411408564&ssPageName=ADME:B:WNARL:US:1123 and give them a book. If things change for them, they should really see a Chiropractic Neurologist.

I just got back from Spoutwood and then vacation with the family. Here are some shots from Spoutwood.

I had to fire someone recently and it made me very depressed so I got Killzone 2 to cheer me up. Killzone 1 had such a great story and cool characters. Sadly Killzone 2 has none of those things but it does have amazing graphics and game play.

On a bright note, a few Hollywood professionals have seen my first actor site and like it a lot. My agent might get me a meeting with some publishers and Kathleen Duey just hired us to do her site!

There are lots of reasons why one would want to be represented by BG Literary. One new reason is the now the website. I did art direction on this but most of the credit goes to one of my new designers, Chris Zecco. Please take a look. We really rocked this one:

I did my first actor site! Laurence Mason. Laurence has been in The Crow, Hackers, CSI, The Shield, Prison Break, True Romance etc.

Me and my homies at the Black Arts just finished the Jude Watson site!

As some of you may know, my wife is working on a book called "The White Cat". On a day not that far ago, Holly organized a meeting of authors to discuss the book and on that day a white cat shows up in our back yard looking for food. So I feed it of corse. After that, the cat runs away. A few days ago I'm hanging out with some friends and I burn some popcorn and open the basement door to air out the room. I get a little tipsy and go to bed leaving the door open till morning. That evening I come home from work and start work again in the basement while I watch Prison Break season 1. It was then that I heard meowing under the couch. It was the white cat. The cat has been staying in the house for the last three days.

Recently my client, Phil Bildner had his Barnstormers books repackaged as "Sluggers" so I overhauled the section:

Recently I got my first actor website gig for Laurence Mason.

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0556808/

Laurence played TinTin in "The Crow", Lord Nikon in "Hackers" and has been on many show (CSI, The Shield etc. He will be in "Public Enemies" this year.



When the site is done I will announce it but for now it is just fun to say I'm doing the website for Lord Nikon.

I'm not doing his site but I am guarding the name domain for Jedediah Berry, the author of "The Manual of Detection" I must say, this is one of the books I am most exited about this year. Also the jacket design is so good, I think people may buy it just for that. I am reading it now and recommend it to anyone. It's all that and a pocket watch.

It's my first website with a waterfall (actually two) and a bunch of frogs. Gotta have frogs...

like these great men...

I just finished overhauling most of Jo Knowles site

http://joknowles.com/

I just need to do the resources links but it has a bunch of new stuff with sounds and animation.

Recently I got a wii fit. It's wonderful. It actually makes exercise into a game thus making it challenging and fun. Exercise is generally challenging if you push yourself but not like in a game way but with the fix it is. I love it. I've used it two days and I lost 2 pounds.

Recently one of my designers did a shitty flying jump kick with a fake Karate sound in front of a Karate studio in my building. After that, the whole class followed him out the door and wanted to kick his ass. Granted what he did was rude and silly but the way the class acted acted was pathetic. A real teacher would have laughed at him and showed him what a real kick looked like. I know this because I've seen my Kung Fu teacher do it. This guy on the other hand called the cops. The cops came and told my designer that he was rude and that he should apologies (again). It was so so stupid. What Karate teacher calls the cops because his feeling were hurt
