Posted just a few minutes before the end of my birthday. Horrah I got a rejection from the SxSW film fest today for a present. So I’ll probably post the said rejected short online soon. I did a little too much work outside in the rain today, so I feel kind of bad. I’ll just say it’s the end of the beginning.

Sorry about the wait. But if it’s any console I talk about running in the woods naked so there is that.
