Simon's Lament

How many puppets does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

I started this morning with  Ziggy Stardust on my turntable, and coffee in hand.  Did some emails for the bidniz of Elmwood, and am now here on my blog...  And I have Sinatra serenading me on the turntable now...
Just wanted to take a five, hit up the blog and say to the world:

It's good to be alive.

Is sooo close to done!

Elmwood's been working hard on "Animal Behavior"...  Editing, dubbing, music, and even some re-shoots.

I'm excited for this show...
Just wanted to share some pictures of us from the recent re-shoots and dubbing!

Words to live by...

"You must embrace life.  You must be lustful.  You must embrace all these things characters are.  
You must have a drink and gorge yourself and stay up late and live life to the fullest, because you can't be a great puppeteer unless you really enjoy life." 
- Salvatore Gato, Master Puppeteer.
from the book "Puppet: An Essay on Uncanny Life" by Kenneth Gross

Here is a crew...  The Elmwood Crew...  We really enjoy life.

Puppets In Progress...

Making puppets.. . Feeling good..
P.I.P. ...  Now means Puppets In Progress

A good day

It's a warm, rainy afternoon.  Listening to Nick Drake, and the cats are mellow...

The past three weeks have been something to remember.
Life is good.
I have amazing friends, amazing family, and an amazing girlfriend.
I have the puppets, and arts, and joy...
What more do I need...

Grillin'!

Stone Temple Park? Linkin Pilots?

I love Stone Temple Pilots...
Weiland split the band earlier this year...  It's happened before, he's done a couple OK solo albums, the rest of the band got another singer and called themselves Talk SHow and put out an OK CD...  Weiland was in Velvet Revolver, the DeLeo brothers did Army of Anyone with the guy from Filter...

So like I said Weiland is out again... and the band got the singer from Linkin Park.
Linkin Park?
And they are calling it Stone Temple Pilots...
Give up guys.  Just call yourselves Talk Show


But what do I know about anything?

It's Not Easy Being Green

"Yes, it's one of the basic truths of the physical universe, Sproket.  Things don't disappear.  They just change, and change, and change again."
