DAILY JOURNAL THING 01 - BIFF AND LORRAINE So yesterday I got myself a moleskine notebook for several pathetic reasons… 1. I want to start each and every day by writing down a list of goals that I’ll never reach. Not now, not never. 2. I want to start writing down ideas for film projects that’ll absolutely never see the light of day. Not today, not tomorrow, not infinity. 3. I want to write down lyrics and jokes for my comedy album that will never happen because the sun will explode first. 4. I’d like to try to draw something every day. Unfortunately for you guys this one might actually happen. Anyway, if you examine my pathetic list you’ll see that I conquered three of my eight goals today!!! Sadly they were the easiest three conquer, but I reckon a false sense of accomplishment is better than no sense of accomplishment. And to be honest, I’m actually pretty happy with how Biff and Lorraine turned out. Biff’s beard is looking strong, and I rather dig Lorraine’s haircut and mouth. Finally, this “Daily Journal Thing” might become a regular thing, I dunna know. Feel free to unfollow this blog if you originally followed me because you thought all I did was post photos. Seriously, it’s cool, no hard feelings. I wouldn’t follow me if I was me, that’s for sure.

VICKI GETS MAD AT TANNER IN JAPAN 02 - “AT LEAST ONE FAMILY WAS HAPPY THAT DAY” As I was taking a picture of this beautiful family at a shrine in Kyoto, Vicki began a conversation that unfortunately did not lead to a very happy ending… Vicki: “I wish we would’ve rented kimonos and gotten the full Kyoto experience.” Me: “I dunna know, I’m more of a pants man.” Vicki: “You and your pants can go to hell. Way to ruin the moment.”  (For the record, I was unaware that we were even in a “moment”) Me: “Woah little penguin, what’d I do?” Vicki: “All you do is take pictures and ignore me. We’ll never be happy like that family.” At this point Vicki’s eyes began to tear up, so I resorted to my classic “go to” line that I’ve used in countless similar situations. Me: “Don’t be sad.” And once again, my classic “go to” line let me down. Vicki immediately erupted into a burst of tears. I really need a better “go to” line. Also, yes, sometimes I call Vicki “little penguin”.
