everyone has their moments. those times when they shine brighter than a thousand suns blazing across uncountable galaxies. they're the infinite, the eternal, the forever, and the thing that makes everything possible and real.
i'd like to give a big up to michael silvers (supercool ADR sound/editing dude on the left), one of these magical people who has been nothing short of a continuous inspiration for me. he talked nerd and industry with me, lent me a 16mm cutting block when i was short on fundage, and continues to have great music always playing at his home whenever i pop by the heez. it's a slice of what 'cool' is.
of course i had to "watch" the oscars on the internet, via blow-by-blow updates on various nerds fansites in bangkok. when it finally blipped up on the screen, i was so instantaneously happy for him, i emailed him straightaway. it's like the coolest thing in the universe, and he completely deserves it. and lookit him own that statue with the super-clutch! that's so rad.
he and his teammate randy thom, won for best sound editing for their work on the animated feature "the incredibles." yay for them. and check out salma hayek trying to look all like she had something to do with their work. i mean i'm sure although it makes the photo sexier, but it just seems weird.
you know when you're happy for someone, you get that thing where you start to tell everyone who doesn't know anything about that person, about how that person is the most rad, the most talented, the most everything? whether or not they care, you find yourself blurting and praising, and somehow sharing in their acclaim. yeah, it's like that.
here's to michael, the recognition, and congratulations on your achievement(s). sir, you make me proud to be a fanboy.
side note to becca: i do not use your friendship as an excuse to talk shop with your dad, i'm just giddy for filmmaking and creationing things is all...um, just to set the record straight.
