i'm totally still alive, i swear. just haven't felt much like posting but i've kept an eye on most of your posts, despite my not responding to a lot. whatever. life is fine and while i could use some work and more money, everything else has sort of gotten better. can't have it all, now can we? which is fine. the BD1 wrap party was the other night and it was really just great to see everyone again and see how the movie turned out. that and the free booze, of course. most people went to the bar afterwards but i skipped that. because i'm an old man. mostly i didn't want to spend a lot more money to get even drunker when i knew i had booze at home for free. haha.

oh, the photos! right! here they are:
