ANYTHING CAME AND WENT


anything goes, originally uploaded by Patrick Q.

A year ago, I was rehearsing for my upcoming role in Center Stage's production of Cole Porter's "Anything Goes." I ran across the photos online today and posted some of them to my flickr account. A lot of screwy stuff has happened to me in the last year. I'm glad to remember some of the good times. I'm looking forward to performing again, someday.

PATRICK RHYMES WITH...

...geriatric. Call it the curse of Taylor Hicks, and maybe I have been listening to too much of his music. What else can explain all of this gray hair I've been finding around my ears and in my beard? This morning I even found a gray chest hair! BLAH! I'm feeling old. What's good for warding off geriatric depression? Can you really find the fountain of youth in a box of "Just for Men?"

Along this same theme, happy 49th birthday to my brothers, Dan & Steve!

THE TWINS IN 1958

This photo is my favorite of the twins - who turn 49 this month. They've changed a little since Mom snapped it.

4 VIDEOS

Here are four clips that inspire me to start saving my pennies for a video camera. The first video was made by a couple of guys, Ryan Wieber and Michael Scott. To download it, check out their page. The footage was shot over three weekends. The editing took four months. Neither had any formal training beforehand. They shot with a Canon GL-1 camcorder and used Adobe After Effects to add the glowing effects.




The next two Kablamo vids I'm posting tonight are fan remakes of my favorite SNL digital short, "Lazy Sunday." The first was done by a couple of guys named Bryant Fisher and Max Sitinikov. The next was done by two eleven-year-olds, Luke Brightfield and James Gillespie, with help from one of their dads.






If you are offended by dumb things, don't watch this last one:

ONE RED PAPERCLIP

Pauline has been telling me about this guy who is trading a paperclip for a house. Today, Terry emailed me the link.
