    ramblings

    I have, on a few occasions, been part of a team for the 48 Hour Film Project known as The Fuzz. I found out that this Friday night, our winning 2003 DC film, Weather Man is going to be shown at a 10th anniversary retrospective screening at the AFI Silver Theater in Silver Spring.

    ramblings

    No out of warranty repairs at all? I can’t give you any money? It’s just, after a year, “sorey aboot yer brick, sucks to be you”?
