Electronic Oblivion: A Hymn to the Fallen
My JVC handicam was on its last legs; it was no longer able to play back tapes reliably, and I figured its ability to record would be out the window in short order. This was the small camera I bought in 2003 to supplement my larger, heavier Canon GL-1. I wanted a cheaper, run-and-jump camera…

Pure Cinema and the Serendipity of Visual Storytelling: Firework Nutshot Fail
I have never been much predisposed to believe in karma, but my newfound fondness for / obsession with “fail” videos has me looking over my shoulder and considering the Greater Forces. I predict that if there are truly any laws of karmic balance governing our universe, I will shortly fall victim to some sort of…

The Vivarium of Dr. Tesseract
Dr. Tesseract enters the vivarium. We could imagine that he is Daniel Cockburn, had Daniel never given up cocaine (nor never not started it in the first place), and after 15 further years of apathetic days and earthshaking night terrors. The glass walls are alive with fish. Tangerine on steel on neon blue. Above, birds…

Matt’s first tat
OH MY GOD I LOVE HER SO MUCH. OH MY FUCKING GOD I AM SO HAPPY. See? I toldja. 🙂 I am in love. That’s all there is to it. I am in love with my own arm. In my humble opinion – which is, at this time, admittedly not too terribly humble – Lisa did…

Ass Transfer 3!: No matter where you go
Matt P: “It’s free and easy under here!”Matt B: “Oh, hooray for everything.” Key distinctions: Last night after I got home and unpacked, I grabbed my iPod and headed out the door… and ended up walking to Queen and Spadina (!). I was just saying to MP the other day that it’s been a while…

Killed me with a sword
Philadelphia, day 2. After giving the big fat “meh” to the second-biggest mall in the country and securing our DigiTrans tickets for the evening, Matty Price and I went to downtown Philadelphia, home of the Gozer building. On the way into town we pulled off the highway suddenly (random changes of plan were MP’s gestalt…

Potato bacon bombs
Now reporting to you live from the road at the Sleep Inn (ooh witty hotel name punnin’!) in lovely nowhere-near-the-downtown Philadelphia, Land of Shyamalan, Home the Village and the Cove and the Crop Circles From The Signs. How I ever lived in hotels that did not have complimentary WiFi, I cannot tell you. For certain,…

Ass Transfer 2!: I don’t think we came this way last time
More tales of mystery and intrigue from the second annual road trip to Chapel Hill, North Carolina… The drive took us 16 hours this time. So much for a faster alternate route. We left on Thursday at about 9:15 and rolled in to Chapel Hill, North Carolina at 1 in the damn morning the following…

Anyone fancy a drive to Manitoba?
Leap will make its next public appearance at the Gimli Film Festival in Gimli, which is north of the ‘Peg, in Manitoba. I submitted to this fest based solely upon the use of the name “Gimli.” Hee hee. “Gimli.” The flick will screen on Thursday, July 28th, as part of the “Nervous Laughter” programme. Looks…
