Music video super star!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Well, there's one hour left of the holiday, but still.

I hope this blog entry finds you all well? There's been some cool things going on this month for me.

First, a personal accomplishment - I've lost 23 pounds! I still got a lot more to lose, but this has been quite motivating.

Secondly, I got to be involved in not one, but TWO music videos! Holy smokes!

The first was done by my friend Madi of Madi2TheMax. She was shooting a music video at this year's LA Comic Book Convention (formerly Comikaze) and I got to have a small part! What an honour! That can be watched here:

For the second one, my friend Christian of the band Porta Vittoria (one of my all time favourite bands) is an accomplished director and has made numerous high quality music videos for bands in the underground scene. He recently did one for the band Atropine and I got a small little part in it too!

Here is the link for that one:

We recently finished doing a new episode of the HP Lovecast Podcast (after a few months of technical issues and bad timing), and this time we talked about "Pickman's Model." That can be heard here:

In regards to my writing, only a few weeks left before essays are returned back to me for my neo-peplum book! I am so excited to dive in and edit them! I still need to complete my introduction though.

I just turned in a really short essay about Greek representation in the old Disney Silly Symphony cartoons. It is for an anthology about Greek gods and days of the week. I'll be curious to see the end result of the project.

Have a great black friday everyone!
