Anyway, the most amusingly ironic thing about this poorly pieced together attempt at creating feel good music, are the lyrics. Please take a moment to watch the video below…as unbearable as it may be, try to make it through the end of the first chorus. You may want to sit down. And grab a beer.

Now let’s take a minute to review the lyrics:

Enough enough! phew. Painful, right? Kinda sounds like whitetrash, right? Here’s the best part: if music is supposed to be meaningful, what meaning is being gathered by Pinks 12-17yr old fan base? Wait, i know this one:

Officer: Do you know why you are being pulled over?

Pink Fan: Na na na na na na na.

Officer: Excuse me?

Fan: So, so what im still a rockstar?

Officer: What are you talking about?

Fan: I got my rock mooves. And I dont need you.

-OR-

Caller: Hey I saw the ad for your ’92 Corolla, is it still available?

Pink Fan: I’m just fine.

Caller: I’m sorry?

Fan: And you’re a tool. So, so what I am a rockstar.

So as you can see, the song “So What” has absolutely no relevance whatsoever, and yet how much money is it making again? Still, some excecs down in L.A. pitched the following:

“Intro. Pink riding a lawn mower down the blvd. Cut to smashing a guitar. Cut to chick sawing down a tree. Cut to bar. Cut to “just married” car bashing, with newlyweds inside. Parked. Cut to stripping. Cut to lighting hair on fire. Cut to the worst green screen of your life. Cut to piss beerpillowfightdarkalleyflames. What do you think?”

Ladies and Gentleman, welcome to America.

I completed the 20 mile jaunt today, through rolling vineyards, enormous eucalyptus and more local farms than you can shake a stick at! Heaven? Maybe. A fantastic ride? Definitely. If you are interested, check out my map below:

This week, i was overjoyed to discover two full heads of lettuce! Oh my, it was delicious…like the taste hard work and a ton of watering.

My Tomato and Cucumber plants also seem to be doing very well, though i am sure they won’t yield much, if anything at all.

WWOOF!

In other news, WWOOFing is the coolest thing ever. I’m pretty much totally overjoyed to see this available:

WWOOF= World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms
WWOOF’s goals are to provide volunteers with first-hand experience with organic and ecologically sound growing methods, to help the organic movement, and to let volunteers experience life in a rural setting or a different country. WWOOF volunteers (‘WWOOFers’) generally do not receive any financial payment. The host provides food, accommodation and opportunities to learn, in exchange for assistance with farming or gardening activities. A large variety of people volunteer through WWOOF, from vacationing students to those who are interested in starting organic farming or organic gardening for themselves. WWOOFers range in age from teenagers (or children with their parents) through to pensioners. Likewise the farms can range from a private garden through smallholdings, allotments, to commercial farms.

For more information on WWOOF, check out WWOOF.org

Bon Voyage mi amor!

Last day in san francisco! We woke up in our beautiful warehouse for the last time . After a rough nights rest spooned rather awkwardly on the 1940′s loveseat/couch, we woke up and made delicious waffles! Now we are sitting at blue bottle, enjoying two cups of Giant Steps. Man im gonna miss this place! So ready to leave though…6 more days! love, miss carmen

This dog has swine flu.

There is no mothers day like a mothers day with crepes with eggs, black forest ham, creamy havarti and roasted potatoes. Oh yeah, and mimosas too! Yay!

SOOOOO… The Red Vic Movie House will be screening the 10 (or so) films from the 48th Annual SFSU Film Finals next Monday, August 18th at 7:15 and 9:30.

I was the cinematographer on Unplanned, Gairo Cuevas’ MFA short, starring the lovely Bianca Vidal and the talented Matt St. John. We shot Unplanned in January of last year, and it was one of the funnest sets i have ever worked on. Every person in the crew was committed to quality filmmaking and having fun. I think people get too serious on set sometimes and Unplanned (despite it’s often heavy subject matter) was a testament to how awesome filmmaking really is, especially considering the fact that the collective that has formed as a result of Unplanned (and others) has been gaining notoriety all over the internet in short form filmmaking (Homesick Fan, Tiger Cop, Rising Dead.)

Hope to see you there!! <3
