Kyle’s been living with me for about a week now and it’s nice to have a room mate who shares common interest, even though we haven’t been doing ALL that much. Patrick Erickson came to visit for a few days though and that was exciting as always to see him. Patrick if you ever read this, move to FL, seriously.
We went fishing on Pat’s dad’s boat over the weekend in Tampa and I didn’t wear much, if any, sunscreen. Mistake. I turned red as a lobster, which wasn’t bad, and then I was really sensitive, which wasn’t that bad… then I began to peel. I literally will be able to peel my entire body over the next week. Sounds kinda gross, which it partly is, but in the same aspect it gives me something to do. Gross.
I haven’t been cooking that much lately, but I did make some steak sandwiches for Kyle and myself the other day. In the cooking process I managed to cut my left thumb down to almost the bone. It’s not TOO bad, I got it all taken care of without going to the hospital (Never had stitches, they seem like a pain). Anyhow, the meal was really good. I’ll post the recipe at the end of this post.
This weekend I’m most likely going to be in Orlando, then going to Jupiter either Sunday or Monday and staying until Thursday. On Friday I’ll be in Melborne hanging out with Adam Arnold and his family / friends going boating and such. Saturday May 17th is the 1st Annual Great Orlando Beer Festival and I’m really excited. There used to be a really crappy festival put on downtown and it was mostly international beers and 90% sucked big time. This festival has potential.
This is a very simple recipe, stolen from Sandra Lee. I was bored so I turned on the TV and decided to make the first thing I saw. This is modified to make 4 meals.
Ingredients:
1 pounds top round steak
1 green bell peppers diced
1 yellow / red bell peppers diced
1 large onion, 1/2-inch slices
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons onion soup mix
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon minced garlic
4 slices provolone cheese
4 sandwich rolls
Optional: Quartered mushrooms (I don’t like mushrooms)
Slice steak into very thin slices. Place sliced steak into large zip-top bag, set aside.
In another zip-top bag, add sliced peppers and onions, and quartered mushrooms. Set aside.
In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, onion soup mix, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour half of marinade into each of the zip-top bags. In a small bowl combine mayonnaise and minced garlic, set aside.
Preheat saute pan on grill. Saute vegetables until desired degree of doneness, about 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside. Quickly grill steak. Remove, slice into bite sized pieces, then set aside.
Spread sandwich rolls with garlic mayonnaise. Fill rolls with steak, vegetables and a slice of provolone cheese. Wrap sandwich with foil and place on the grill and cover. Cook until cheese has melted. Serve.
While I was in New York at the FilmFights 2k7 trip with Kyle, we made short movies that had to be edited in camera. This means you have to shoot in the order you want people to see it. A friend in my group, Edward Flinch, came up with the idea to do a stop motion type movie, about a camera that changes hands and ends up back where it started. I used my Canon 20d to take all of the photos, then manually scrolled my wheel and played them into the video camera, what a pain! Here is the final result. You can vote for us at www.filmfights.com . Our movie is called Loose Canon by Edward Flinch Productions.
I was in a commercial for Indy Mogul’s series called Backyard FX. Erik Beck, the host and creator of the show, is hilarious to work with, along with the rest of the people, who were all Film Fights crew!
Kyle and I were really bored when he came to live with me and we made some parodies of NJFilmCore’s Giovanni Dinosauri videos. Erik (From NJFC) makes more gay jokes in his videos than anyone we have ever known, and he’s really straight edge…. Anyhow, I suggest you watch the real videos before the parodies.
I did another commercial for Channel Frederator. This is my favorite commercial I’ve acted in by far. VileKyle did the camera work with the new HD camera and 35mm setup and it looks amazing. Justin did the directing and script writing which worked out great.
Check it out:
I did some short acting work this week with Justin Johnson. It was a commercial for Channel Frederator, which is an internet podcast, cartoon, sorta thing.
Anyhow, the video is here:

So… we thought it would be smart to throw a lighter at a door, because usually (the thin shelled lighters) will explode on contact. Instead, it broke open and the gas was slowly leaking out.
So we decided to light it on fire… and then it got too big, so I figure, put a cup over it to put out the flame without water… nope, bad idea.
I have been at DG Con all weekend, if you don’t know what it is, don’t worry about it. All you need to know is that STC is the greatest.
Ok so also, Filmfights is finally updated and I have a video on there. Kyle and Yuri also have videos on there. I suggest you head over to Film Fights and watch the videos, then vote for whatever one you think is best.

Synopsis: This movie was created for Filmfights, and the genre/rules was “Opening Credits”. It’s meant to just be the opening of a movie. Basically Justin loses his job and turns to an underground art of “popping” toast to survive

This is a new video from DHermit.com Productions and edited and filmed by Vilekyle.com. Click on the image below to download the video.
This is just a short that was made for entry on Film Fights and the rule was that every line spoken in the movie must be a question. So we only put in two lines, one only being one word.
I think thats a pretty cool shirt if you’re into “scene” and “emo” type stuff. Very nice artwork none the less. If you click the picture, you can find it on their site.

I finished my Spring 2005 Video Blog. It is available for download. Check out the two links below for high resolution and lower resolution. I am pretty happy about how they came out, although I know there are some long shots in there I wish I could have made shorter. Please comment!! I love comments.
I started my video blog… I’d like to let everyone know that, yes, there will be at least one orange in my movie…
I may not update tomorrow due to going home for dentist and doctor apointments. But have no fear, the video blog editing has begun!
Oh and I wrote this poem. It’s in ABAB format, 6 lines, I started the first line with a quote from a famous poem by Elizabeth Browning, and its 10 feet per line.
How do i love thee? let me count the ways
We sat alone upon that grassy knoll
I shall never forget that awesome day
Being with you forever is my goal
Your beauty I noticed in the sun’s ray
You are the one thing I need to be whole

The only people I’ve talked to in the last week, in person, is really my friends Kyle and Justin. Also my friend Dan helped me move into my new apartment, I’m not done moving yet, but should be Friday.
This is a little video of what we did the other night. I guess a resident left a TV behind in the dorms, so the RA’s decided it would be fun to drop it 4 floors off the parking garage. It was really loud. I have an old monitor I might try this with next week…
