I’ve recently gotten interested in body painting, and so today I was looking at pictures online, and since I was feeling bored, I decided to try it myself. This is the result of Nathaniel + Boredom + markers:

At one point I decided to try to use water to make my hair a bit more wild, but a drop of water ran down my face and made this cool tear effect:

I was just listening to my mix CDs, and decided it was high time that I made a new one. As I was picking out songs that I’ve been listening to lately, I noticed that several of them were about sex, and that inspired me to make this CD the “Mating Season - Spring 2005″ CD. Here are the tracks: (note - the above paragraph was written very well and it was pretty hillarious, but then I closed the browser window when I was trying to shrink it, and then couldn’t remember what I had written. So you got that less-then-genius version. But I’ll make up for it now with this great mix CD)

I just got back from going home for the weekend - and now I have my camera again! So here’s a pile of pictures from spring break, as well as from the train ride back up to bellingham. Click the picture to see the Full Resolution version (because they look better big).

Hello all - if you are in the Bellingham area, or could get to the Bellingham area via car or airplane, you should come see my movie, “A Loving Tribute to Nathaniel Jones,” on the Big Screen at WWU’s iMovieFest tomorrow, April 18th, at 8pm in the PAC main theater. It’ll be great fun for all.

Hooray! There are new movies for you all to download!
The first is a new, high-quality version of Eddy von Bagman Visits USC - actually taken directly from the original footage, rather than the version that was online before, which was a bootleg copy made by holding my webcam in front of the TV and recording. Also includes new Credits! And a Deleted Scene! That one is here (50 MB quicktime movie):

The second one is the documentary I made for my highschool civics class on why I’m “Proud to Be an American.” It’s good for being nostalgic for my highschool days, and as a historical document because I filmed it immediately following 9/11. That one’s over here (70 MB quicktime movie):

The third one is Brand Spankin’ New - my submission to the WWU iMovieFest for 2005, “A Loving Tribute to Nathaniel Jones.” It is a five minute movie of me making faces in the bathroom mirror, as I sing a love song to myself as the soundtrack. It’s quite touching. And it’s here (20 MB quicktime movie):

It works best if you right-click and save the files rather than trying to watch them in the browser. Plus that way you can watch them again and again without completely wiping out my bandwidth. Enjoy!
