The tide was pretty astonishing this morning--tossing around huge logs like so many twigs.

I have an incredibly patient kid. I am very lucky.

No action this evening, but I am willing to wait...

Still no action this morning:

No action from the pipe today:

Day two of production:

(We got rained on, but got some pretty good footage.)

Screen Test

My son and I got splattered with black toxic mud today, but we'll be back for more...

My hilarious student Gina. (I must admit I'll miss them when I'll be on sabbatical next semester.)

My son turned me onto "Google Earth" tonight. This is an image of my landfill--our community's largest collectively constructed entity.

Nuestro Juramento

No puedo verte triste porque me mata:
Tu carita de pena; mi dulce amor;
me duele tanto el llanto que tu derramas
que se llena de angustia mi corazon:

Yo sufro lo indecible si tu entristeces,
no quiero que la duda te haga llorar;
hemos jurado amarnos hasta la muerte
y si los muertos aman
despues de muertos amarnos mas;

Si yo muero primero, es tu promesa,
sobre de mi cadaver dejar caer
todo el llanto que brote de tu tristeza,
y que todos se enteren de tu querer.

Si tu mueres primero, yo te prometo,
escribire la historia de nuestro amor;
con toda el alma llena de sentimiento.
La escribire con sangre,
con tinta sangre del corazon.

These military helicopters are pretty amazing paintings. The images above are scanned from the catalog, though. Despite my most determined efforts, I could not persuade that recalcitrant Orange County Museum guard to let me make my own photos of them.
