Francis, Thu, Nguyen and Terry - August 2008.

family
Note: There were two cameras - I’m looking into one and my parents are looking at the other. Francis is just being a dick as usual. He is notorious when it comes to ruining family photo ops.

Worry not, Ma - There’s one of all of us that turned out great.

He’s Not Responding & Is There A Doctor

Two things you do no not want to hear on a plane. Yeah, there was an incident last night on my flight back to LA.

Suddenly that fight with my parents on my second to last day and any beefs I have with my bro are forgotten and all effort to make things well becomes a priority.

As far as I know the incident involved a young child and he did make it off the plane when the medical staff came on board.

In other news, I’m back.

Disappear

Directed by Eric Saarinen. Premiered during the opening ceremony of the Olympics.

I think I contributed in 2 major ways on this one: helping with the initial treatment and showing the director the time-lapse sequence in Zodiac, which he later used as a lighting reference.

EDIT: The VO at the end is done by Jeffrey Wright.

That’s an AMEX BTW, biatch.

Yeah, we can all tell it’s your first video, but when she says “Visas” you’d have been better off flashing a passport. No, these girls aren’t related to me but I’m allowed to be mean to them cuz I’m an American.

I was lucky enough to catch M.I.A.’s show at the Echoplex last year before the album came out and before this song became Girls Nite Out Anthem 08. M.I.A. played this song last and asked everybody to put the lighters and cell phones in the air (lame), but when the song started I seriously flipped cuz I thought she was going to cover The Clash’s Straight to Hell. Still, the song was the best moment of the night and one of my favorite songs of last year.

Why do girls teenage girls have to ruin everything?

24 Little Hours.

Whenever I am asked (and I AM asked all the time) what’s the sexiest scene from a movie, I refer to this:

BONUS: Faye Wong covers both The Cranberries - Dreams and Bjork’s Oscar dress.

It Gets Lonely.

The original still kills me, tho I find this version very, very tolerable.

RUNNING.

I started running last nite and have only 2 thoughts to share -

1. Best song to listen to while running - MGMT’s Time to Pretend.

2. Worst song to listen to while running - Q Lazarus’s Goodbye Horses (Krikor Edit)

WTF was I thinking when I put that song on the shuffle? For those who don’t know, it’s that creepy song from Silence of the Lambs (and an extended remix, nonetheless). Really not a good idea for running at night, either.

But MGMT’s Time to Pretend is awesome. Like a twisted sequel to The Flaming Lips - Do You Realize.

It’s my summer jam.

Finally, Prezbo’s greatest moment is on the internet.

Anyone?

Is anyone else up in this mofo?

We’ll see how this goes. This is more of an experiment in trying to be clever in under 140 characters. I guess I’ll stop with it when the ladies start stalking me or when dudes show up just to punch me in the face.
