I'll need to make a pot of coffee this morning to start today feeling right. Another late night working in the Haus server room here led to less sleep than I like. It is cold and rainy outside, and an indifferent gray sky lies unchanging overhead. This is ocean weather. I remarked yesterday at how easy it was to smell the ocean air even here in JP. Usually I can only smell Yely's cooking chicken.
I like days like this. I grew up in Syracuse, afterall. Large portions of my life were lived under an unchanging bank of gray clouds for weeks, even months at a time. It's a good day to call in sick, and snuggle further into bed.
I wonder what it's like on the coast of Maine right now. My family used to visit Maine every summer for a few weeks. I remember sitting out this weather along the rocky shore of Schoodic Point breathing in the heady scent of sea air and pine that only Maine can elicit. The rain a subtle mist that never quite soaks but a dampness that seeps to the bones. Undoubtedly, part of what I was looking for when I moved East. You might argue I didn't go Down East enough.

News on the MMW site indicates that the Industrial Light and Magic camera crew at the last Lupo's show Taus and I attended, was filiming footage for the upcoming Uninvisible video. Between the camera rigs they were using (mini-digital cameras boom mounted) and the shots they were taking, and the fact that they are ILM makes me very interested in this video.
If you are interested in attending any of these shows, let me know via email or in Comments.
