IF: Electricity and Friday Archives

I thought of windmill electricity when I saw the IF theme and remembered the wind farms I used to see in California. This came out looking a little more ominous than I intended...but Kumi had a rough night with some indigestion issues and I did this super fast... I always thought the windmills that I saw from the freeway as I drove from San Francisco to Los Angeles looked like alabaster sculptures -- here I've depicted them looking almost like crosses with Van Gogh-esque electric currents and wind.

I'm also participating in Loobylu's Friday Archives again though I'm seriously hurting for material. An old high school friend sent me a DVD of a movie I was in and I thought I would toss it in there for kicks.

...doesn't it look like it's that kind of movie? Fear not, there isn't even an iota of nudity and I'm wearing this heinously large t-shirt with what looks like shoulder pads throughout the entire film. This was back in, oh, 1990-ish and I was a college freshman. When you live in L.A., chances are you'll get asked to be in a movie at least once. My friend was an aspiring film director at UCLA and he gathered a bunch of his unsuspecting buddies to spend six days in his sister's room with a camcorder. That's me scowling in the lower left corner. Here's a close-up:

I was only able to watch 15 minutes of the film as it pooped out on me and got stuck in the middle of one of my many monotonously delivered dialogues. The hysterical part is that I was the starring role. Me!! It still mystifies me since I have no acting skills whatsoever. Anyway, I would include a clip of my embarrassing attempt at re-creating Henry Fonda's role but I unfortunately don't know how. Ah youth. The crazy things we do.

**I forgot to include that the film is called "12 Angry People" and is a remake of "12 Angry Men".
