Discussing the "inner child" with children
7yo: Dad, what's an inner child?
Me: Well, it's that every grownup has some part of them that still thinks like a kid. So "inner child" is just what you call that part--it's not like there's really a child inside--
7yo: Do I have an inner child?
Me: Well, no--you're already a child, so you don't need--
9yo: Not everyone has an inner child. Like, really mean teachers don't.
Me: Oh, I'm sure that even mean teachers have an inner child. They just don't show you that part--
9yo (solemnly): Or really religious people.

The following is a loose translation by my friend who will probably be mortified that I’m posting this. It’s from an article on the Korea Times Web site (presumably the LA edition) plugging the film festival that my short film is playing in tomorrow. (If you want, you can read the original article here: http://rurl.org/ica.) Children’s Film Festival - “Oh movies,...

What's better than a poke in the eye with a sharp...
Two days ago, my 7yo son poked me in the eye by accident as he was stretching out his arm to put his coat on. Actually “poked me in the eye” doesn’t quite do it justice. More like he gouged a small furrow in my cornea with his fingernail. This was very painful. But the fun didn’t stop there. I was in such pain and having such marked vision problems that I went to the...

Obama in Seattle, live-tweeted...
weskimcom: I'd feel more guilty about driving places if the buses would actually run on time.
weskimcom: And just as I say that, the bus finally shows up, stuffed to the gills, and SKIPS our stop. Criminy...!
weskimcom: Oh right, Obama's rally is in two hours, just a few blocks from my office. Could be a long commute...
weskimcom: Finally got on a bus. Can't believe all these kids are even old enough to vote!
weskimcom: OH on bus full of teens going to Obama rally: "If I could vote, I would TOTALLY vote for Obama."
sourjayne: Thanks @weskimcom for your live action on the spot reports from the Obama bus!
weskimcom: Today's slogan for the Seattle Obama rally, from the looks of the crowd: Runny noses for Obama!
sourjayne: Just saw the line to get into the Obama rally at Key Arena. It's... long.
sourjayne: Heading over to get a bacon & egg sandwich to eat while standing in line observing the Obama supporters.
weskimcom: Choppers, motorcycle cops...he's coming...
weskimcom: In line for Obama rally. We might even get in...
sourjayne: We're inside key arena and seated. They're playing inspirational clips and soul music. This place is Packed.
weskimcom: Did Ron Sims endorse Obama? Trying to guess who the opening act will be.
sourjayne: The arena is at capacity. @katidid says there's a scene outside. The music inside is getting louder. Some seattlites CAN clap on the evens.
weskimcom: Sadly, this waiting part is actually quite dull.
sourjayne: Captive audience of thousands, no advertising or messaging of any kind. Just waiting. So much wasted opportunity.
weskimcom: Obama needs a better mix CD.
sourjayne: Two random audience members are entertaining the rest of us with an impromptu dance-off in their seats.
weskimcom: @sourjayne that's the most interesting thing that's happened since we got here.
sourjayne: Police have barricaded the doors to Key Arena. No one can get in... or out.
weskimcom: There's a sign language interpreter on stage chatting with someone, but i don't know what she's saying.
sourjayne: Apparently @katidid is on the news! King five... Live?
weskimcom: It looks like Chris Gregoire will be the warmup act. They're handing out signs which no one wants to hold.
weskimcom: Kool and the Gang? Celebration?? Nooo!! You're going to give the kids the mistaken idea that we liked this song!!
sourjayne: Finally, some people on stage, talking about the caucus. Q&A format not so successful with crowd of 16,000. I'm just sayin.
sourjayne: Some guy, some singer lady, and the drummer from Pearl Jam on stage, talking about a Fired Up song. Fired Up, ready to go?
weskimcom: The sign language interpreter is dancing as she translates the music video lyrics.
sourjayne: Some of this music is terrible. I guess that's what happens when you're trying to unify the people.
sourjayne: Gov Gregoire announces her endorsement for Obama and is giving a pretty great speech.
weskimcom: Opening speakers: Nickels, Smith, Gregoire. And now the man himself...
sourjayne: Obama takes the stage, hugs the mayor, kisses the governor, love all around. Warm fuzzies.
weskimcom: Medical techs are attending to a woman who was looking faint. Obama singled her out to make sure she was okay. Such a gentleman!
weskimcom: Big finish coming up...
sourjayne: Damn, this guy is good.
weskimcom: @sourjayne you'll have to change your facebook political status from apathetic to...hopeful?
sourjayne: There is no inspirational rally that the cynicism of @weskimcom can't dampen.
weskimcom: @sourjayne - i would be less cynical if i didn't have that damn eric clapton song going through my head still...
“Portland, Oregon casting company is currently casting Asians for a
major video...”
– Casting call for video game commercial. I can’t possibly imagine what game they could be talking about…
