Who Wants to Read About the History of Punk Rock in East L.A.? Hello? Everyone!

2012-11-27T18:19:00.000-08:00

Hello everyone, I know it's been a while. Going to start off with some news about a cool publication. The latest issue of UCLA's Aztlan (Aztlán: A Journal of Chicano Studies) is out, featuring articles about East L.A.'s punk scene by Colin Gunckel, Dan Vargas and Jimmy Alvarado.

You can procure copies here.
Pssst! It also includes some photographs by me ;D

No Updates This Month

2012-09-28T01:42:00.002-07:00

Hello everyone.
I'm sorry that there have been no real updates lately. I've lost my father this month and have been either extremely busy or truly exhausted. I'm sure many of you have gone through this horribly painful phase of life already and know what I'm talking about.

I'm just posting small things as I can (Twitter and such). I'm very grateful to the Sims 2 community for their recent visits. I'll most likely post some Sims 2 updates late October or November. As for the monthly post, Don't Tell Me That You're Bored..., I'll try to get something up next for month's events. It'll most likely be early October.

Thanks for understanding.

Sims 2 Update - Records on the Ceiling?

2012-08-23T21:34:00.000-07:00

Hello Simmers, I know it's been a while. Haven't really had time to do much. However, I found these ceilings (floors) that I made a while back for a "record store" (electronics store) I was building. Got the idea from Iona's record store in Pretty In Pink. Hope you like. Click here to download.

Sims 2 Update

2012-08-02T03:09:00.002-07:00

Good morning. Here's a small update. I discovered this wonderful company that creates these gorgeous tiles out of cement. You can check the real ones out here.

You can download the floor tiles for the Sims 2 here.

Haven't tested them in game yet. Please let me know if there are any alignment issues.

Sims 2 Update

2012-07-27T21:36:00.001-07:00

This is another recolor of an EA mesh. I don't know what expansion pack it's from. I have all of them except Family Fun, Glamour Stuff and Festive Holiday. It's probably Seasons. So, here is a more somber take on the rain gear.

Download here.

Previous Sims 2 Update. Just in case you missed it.

2012-07-14T18:03:00.000-07:00

Better Bobbed Hair (click for detail)

In case some of you missed it, here's some more Sims 2 updates. I did these a while back and they've been on The Sims 2 Recolors page but never posted the update. It's just a couple of little things.

A cooler BV Tourist outfit (click for detail)

Here's some much cooler BV Tourist outfit recolors and a slightly better textured Modern Bob (in Black!) You will need the Mesh from The Sims 2 Online Store (for the hair). You'll also need The Sims 2 Bon Voyage Expansion Pack (for the clothes). Have fun, you can get em here. You'll find them at the bottom of the page. Click on the images for more detail.

Sims 2 Update!

2012-07-09T05:53:00.000-07:00

Here are more basic outfits in classic texture and subdued color. Also, there are more pictures on the downloads page. I added a couple of concert T's for fun.

Download all on the Sims 2 page here.

Another Sims 2 Update? Wow!

2012-07-07T01:24:00.001-07:00

Wow! Another upload so soon?
Here are some swimsuits for your water bound Sims. Nicely simple but still striking right? Let me know what you think. More in the next day or two.
Download 'em here...

Sims 2 Update!

2012-07-06T15:41:00.001-07:00

New tops here! I used the basic game meshes so you don't need an expansion pack. I may add a few more of these in different colors tomorrow. Head over to the Sims Recolors page to download.

About.me - Nicely done? Yeah.

2012-05-15T20:47:00.003-07:00

Hello everyone. I Just opened an about.me page. It links all of your social network sites, including specific URLs if the service isn't covered. I was initially annoyed when I discovered it's offered by AOL (which actually isn't as bad as it used to be, homepage wise). However, you never actually have to visit their site. The interface is very user-friendly and almost entirely customizable. Very nicely designed.

The Random Adventures of Brandon Generator

2012-04-13T16:38:00.003-07:00

An online comic that YOU can help to write. Great idea. The first episode makes me want to see more. I Love Tommy Lee Edwards illustration style in this. Great narrator choice and audio (music and effects) as well. Maybe you can be part of it.

Check it out.

The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore

2012-02-16T10:55:00.002-08:00

Unfortunately, this video was removed from Vimeo. Please visit the studio's page to view the preview.

https://vimeo.com/moonbot

From Moonbot Studios on Vimeo . A 2012 Oscar-Nominated Animated Short.

Inspired, in equal measures, by Hurricane Katrina, Buster Keaton, The Wizard of Oz, and a love for books, “Morris Lessmore” is a poignant, humorous allegory about the curative powers of story. Using a variety of techniques, including miniatures, computer animation, and 2D animation, award‐winning author and illustrator William Joyce and co‐director Brandon Oldenburg present a hybrid style of animation that harkens back to silent films and MGM Technicolor musicals.

Tower Records on Sunset! Tower Records in East LA! How I miss you!

2011-05-30T22:36:00.000-07:00

I was so bummed out when I found out that ~~the company was going out of business and that~~ all of those wonderful stores would be closed (U.S. Retail Stores).
Please donate to this project and help to share the memories and further immortalize this sorely missed house of music. They have 44 days to come up with their goal of $50,000. Any amount above $1.00 is accepted and certainly appreciated. Contributions of $5.00 or more will receive a Thank You in the film credits. Contributions of $10.00 or more will get goodies (goodies get bigger as contribution goes up). Thank you Colin Hanks for documenting one of my favorite stores ever.

Paul... Go see it. NOW!

2011-03-20T00:38:00.000-07:00

I was going to wait to see this, don't ask me why. I don't think there was any movie currently out other than Rango, that I've been wanting to see. So anyhow, you know how cool alien movies are? Well, Paul is just so much cooler. I didn't know how they were gonna handle this but Simon Pegg and Nick Frost were just hilarious and Seth Rogan does a spot on job as Paul. The writing was just so right on and the alien movie refrences scattered throughout were awesome. Also, Jason Bateman is such a badass in this film. It's definitely one that you will want to see more than once.

Expect spoilers after the jump.

Rango Walks the Walk!

2011-03-05T19:24:00.000-08:00

Last night I went to the movies with my family to see Rango.
I didn’t really know what to expect. I like most of Johnny Depp’s work and I also love a good western. I think I was worried about it being too cutesy. This was not an issue at all.
