It's Valentine's Day. I'm married. I have been for 18 years. I love my wife. I'm not allowed to date, not even for 1 second! That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

But I am also in love with Twitter. It's kind of an obsession. I'm not sure that Twitter loves me back, so I made a pretty picture for Twitter and sent it. It's my current avatar.

Scary, isn't it?

P.S. I do a silly video thing, available through my Twitter. Check it out.

Today on Twitter, I was playing "My Dilemma" with my Twitterbuds (trying to find producers for The 1 Second Film, of course.) I mentioned that Prince/Sheila E's "The Glamorous Life" and the Pussycat Dolls "Don't Cha" is/are essentially the same song. Then my friend @AlisonL tweeted "kinda like Ghostbusters, by Ray Parker Jr. and I Want a New Drug, by Huey Lewis & the News!"

Not exactly, I thought. It's actually more like the mash-up of "Stairway to Heaven" and the theme song to "Gilligan's Island" by Little Roger and the Goosebumps.

Enjoy the show and don't forget to tip your waitress.

So I was thinking... after reading some of the comments on my previous blogs, that I really need to donate a little more that $1 to this fine effort. I mean, if I want to become a producer, I can't just expect an automatic promotion for brilliant blogging and complementing other producers... or kissing up to the director (who by the way is a great director.)

I recently got a subtle hint from Nirvan that I needed to recruit some more producers. So, I'm thinking of a "honk if you want to help produce The 1 Second Film" bumper-sticker. (Yes... that might work.) I've tried mentioning it on Twitter numerous times to my 1,300+ followers. Unfortunately, they're so addicted to tweeting that they won't leave Twitter for a second, even to produce The 1 Second Film. {click below - read more}

Since we had the day off from production today (at least nobody gave me anything to do) I spent the day at the Southern CA Linux Expo in Los Angeles (at the LAX Westin Hotel.) There were a lot of geeks on the Expo showroom floor. I was more interested in casting for The 1 Second Film, but since I didn't have authority, I didn't take action.

There were some really hot ladies in the hotel lobby. If only I was asked, "take them up to a room for a read." That would have been nice. But no... I had to listen to Open Source promoters tell me, "blah, blah, blah." I didn't understand a thing they were saying. I just couldn't take my eyes off the hot blond in the lobby. {read more - click below}

I was pleasantly enjoying being at the top of the producers 'blog for the past two days, when I was taken out by annoying "party announcements." I thought this is supposed to be the place where we producers could discuss storyboard ideas, day for night shooting, equipment rentals and obtaining the proper 1 second filming permits.

We don't have time to party... WE have a 1 second film to make, dammit!

I'm exhausted! I had no idea that the job of Associate Producer on "The 1 Second Film" would be so difficult and demanding. Now all of my www.Twitter.com/acomput... friends hate me, because they think this extra commitment will detract from my primary responsibility of keeping them informed and entertained.

So what time is the friggin' call for tomorrow? It better not be too early. *gj needs his beauty sleep.* Also, please let Craft Services know that I'm a vegetarian.
