This is a little film we made for the 48 hour film project. We were given a prop (bus ticket), a genre (Western) , a line of dialogue ("Forget it. I already have"), and we had to make a short film in one weekend. It was an incredibly fun, exhausting, frustrating, and amazing weekend. I hope you enjoy it:

Take Time, Take Time, Take Time, Take Time, Take...
I realize it's been an awful long time since I've updated this thing, and I deserve what shit may be slung at me for neglecting it, in turn breaking my promise of keeping this regularly updated. Sort of like peeing in the shower, it feels good to be posting again, yet a little dirty at the same time. Kind of like rekindling a relationship with someone you haven't spoken to in months. Probably because you want to pee in their shower. I haven't learned to make this part of my routine, but I hope to *habitualize* my postings to Saturday or Sunday mornings.
I make lots of lists. I am obsessed with lists of all kinds: To Do for Work, To Do for Home, Calls To Make, People To Do, and Topics for Blog are a few. If I come across something interesting I want to write about, I make a note of it or e-mail myself the youtube link to remember to post something about it. Rarely does that work, but I am a creature of habit; like peeing in the shower.
Any of these things deserves a post or several of their own, but I will just mention some of the most important happenings of the past couple of months:
Important Happenings Of The Last Couple Of Months List:
1. My brother had a baby! However, the delivery was done by his lovely wife Elena. They had a beautiful, cross that, absolutely unbearably adorable 9 lbs 7 ounce healthy baby girl named Zayna. I am an Uncle! It's no exaggeration when I say that just by holding her my heart melts.
Here is a picture of Zayna Noor Lopez Khoury sleeping:
And here is a picture of the little angel yawning, but really I think she was screaming to be taken away from my brother Haitham.
Many more baby pictures to come for sure.
2. Work: has been a bitch! A good bitch nonetheless. I plan on moving into the consulting side of the business, so I am spending every ounce of the cruel joke that is my spare time on learning that part of the business and product. Late nights at work, and weekends spent at the office are very common these days.
3. High School Musical 3: I was an extra in High School Musical 3! I hope the 5 seconds of film that we spent 13 hours of the day in 90 degree weather shooting actually shows up on film! Then let's hope that I am actually visible as that blurry spec in the background! Either way, it was actually quite fun. The nice thing about shooting with no audio is that you can say some of horrific shit and no one watching the film will know what was actually said between the extras. In case some rumors get out, no I do not have a third testicle on my anus.
4. 48 hour film festival: My first film! I am still recovering from the traumatic weekend. More on this in the next post including the video itself.
5. Country **behappenings**: Presidential election, FISA bill, and Viacom knowing about every lolcats video I've looked up on youtube oh my! Each of these deserves a post of its own, but I probably won't at this point.
*Not a real word, but sounds like it should be.
**Apparently, also not a real word. EFF you Webster. EFF you in th A.
