  1. I made a short film called Lift This Shadow. Please enjoy. - vimeo.com/38744926
  2. I'm especially proud of "We Will Be Listening," which I both shot and starred in. It's set to "Ripe (With Decay)" by @nineinchnails. Enjoy.
  3. I made two short music videos in the last three weeks. You can watch them at thiscity.tumblr.com. Spread the word.
  4. My new (very) short story is called "The sky always looks nicest above the condos." You can read it here: tumblr.com/xel3pzfbym
  5. Ring of Silence is a short film I made using only photographs, with music by @Tettix. Enjoy. - http://tumblr.com/xel1z1cb5a
  6. @ManaTree Tumblr has native RSS feeds: thiscity.tumblr.com/rss
  7. Today I wrote something. It seems like it's about the sun, but it's really about the beach. You can read it here: http://bit.ly/cDkstC
  8. The Red Wheelbarrow is one of my favorite poems, so that just makes me really happy.
  9. The last few months have been a time of flux for me, and it's been really positive. Forgive the relentless negativity of the last few posts.
  10. Been listening to of Montreal lately, just like the last time I posted. I've posted a lot of stuff since then. http://thiscity.tumblr.com
  11. "We want our film to be beautiful, not realistic." - Kevin Barnes, "The Past Is A Grotesque Animal"
  12. I found that last week, and I'm not sure I'll be able to get that feeling back for a long time.
  13. Everything I've ever written has been about trying to find a home, somewhere I really belong.
  14. I recorded myself reading my short story Twilight at Carbon lake. You can find it at thiscity.tumblr.com.
  15. I put up a short film called This Is Modern Life on This City. It's not very good at all. So it goes.
  16. My new story is an updated version of the first thing I wrote for This City, Twilight at Carbon Lake. Please enjoy.
  17. New on This City - a new theme, a new story, and a new attitude. http://thiscity.tumblr.com
  18. I think it's time for some change. Keep an eye out in the coming weeks.
