Baconlover's Mystery Box
Why "Baconlover's Mystery Box"? Because "a boat's a boat, but a mystery box could be anything. It could even be a boat! You know how much we always wanted one of those." - Peter Griffin, "Family Guy"
About Me
I am married to a wonderful writer named Scott - you may not have heard of him yet, but you will! I also have an identical twin sister. You may ask if my sister and I ever tricked old boyfriends by switching places. It may have happened a couple of times, but not intentionally. One of her boyfriends in high school came up behind me and wrapped his arms around me and kissed my cheek, all the while looking at her. It was quite strange. I have a mini-schnauzer named Bacon who loves eating fruit and being held like a toddler on my hip. I teach reading and writing to three different age groups: kindergarten, middle school, and college, and they're really all about the same. Whenever telemarketers call me I tell them they have the wrong number. I enjoy sugar and want to be a cowboy when I grow up.

honestly? i think i'd rather be invisible. although it would probably lead to a life of crime.
mama and i made a stop-motion movie! check it out. (it's located at manpire, so please right click/save as)
dance of the candles.
I think I'll have to agree with Jenny on this one (we are soulmates, by the way). I'd rather be invisible. I would just hate to be blind for the rest of my life. But my invisibility would probably also lead to a lot of unnecessary perversion (i.e. sneaking into girls' bathrooms).
What about having the ability to fly or having a tail?
By the by, Jenny, your candle dance is pretty funny... and the video is good, too.
If I were invisible, I'd have to be blind also or I'd get into trouble. Like Scott said, almost every guy at some point in his life (usually early puberty years)has fantasized about being invisible, for perverted creepy reasons. Hollow Man was a very downplayed version of what would really happen if a guy turned invisible.
What about being electricuted?
jen,
that was the funniest minute of my life. it's all down hill from here.
I'd rather be blind than invisible. I would want others to be able to see me, even if I couldn't see them. I want to have children one day. How terrifying would it be to them to have an invisible mother? Not to mention how difficult the labor and delivery would be.
Jen,
we're making a stop motion movie over thanksgiving break. Start thinking of some ideas.
Invisible MILFs?
Hmmm...
i thought you guys weren't coming home for thanksgiving...? mama made this whole big deal about how i was going to have to help her in the kitchen because you wouldn't be there.
the candle thing was fun, but it took FOREVER. i was bored and it was just mama and me at the house, so i suggested doing that. we used brad's tripod so the camera wouldn't move (although you can tell in the clip when mama knocked the tripod and we had to set it back up and it's not exactly right). anyway, we had planned to do the whole song, but after about 4 and half hours, we'd taken over a hundred pictures and the actual length without credits was only 32 seconds! what took the longest was deciding what the next move was going to be, and then running around setting up all the chairs and stuff.
so what i'm saying is, you'll want to keep it simple, like we did. i thought it would be really cool to use people, but imagine how difficult it would be to get someone in the right position and make them hold it until you got everything right and took the picture - and then immediately make them hold the next pose. plus their facial expressions would change...
i wanted to have starla pop in and then pop out of our video, but mama was afraid she'd run off the edge of the table like a lemming. :(
i have a cool song you could use for yours. it's called "i turn my camera on" by spoon, and it's got a steady beat that would work well for stop-motion purposes. the lyrics don't make any sense though. i'll play it for you soon.
i have a couple of ideas, but i'll just tell you the next time i see you.
