Jenna's House of Idiosyncrasies Version 10.0 [Focus.]

Big Bad Kyle from Jenna Tollerson on Vimeo.

I found this going through files from an old computer. It was the only video I took on my very first $100 digital camera, in about 2000, I think. There was no sound on this camera, and when I got home I realized that not only was the quality awful, but I had made the now-classic mistake of taking it with a portrait orientation, and didn't have the know-how to fix it.

This is Kyle, my friend Sam's little brother, who at the time was practically my little brother too, after a middle school play in which he played the Big Bad Wolf, doing his evil bow for me not once, but twice, while I struggle with some Blair-Witch-style camera work.

This video reminded me of how much time has gone by, because I now have a much steadier hand, and Kyle is now a father. That, and I can't remember exactly which story this Big Bad Wolf is from.

My new favorite thing: Nivea® Creme, which comes in 88¢ tins at the Wally World.

I ate a bowl of Hunny B's for lunch today and was dissapointed considerably by the taste. Upon further inspection I noticed that they have taken out the little honey pot crackers and left only the B's. Blah. My favorite cereal laid to waste by those bastards at Kellogg's.

Abie bought me this totally bitchin' watch, and I'm not sure if this comes across in the picture or not, but it is HUGE, and so pimpin. It goes well with the pimp hat, I think.

Monday Night movie is being officially reinstated. Get in touch with me for info.

Happy birthday to the Kirbys, collectively! Especially you. Yes, you are my favorite.

Self portrait by Kyle.

Do you ever go back and read something you wrote and wonder, what the hell was I thinking?

I'm not a failure
I could cry
It's art. Performance art. Ever evolving.

What does that mean?

"I'm tired of looking at myself. Why do I keep doing self portraits?"

"If I do say so, it's authentically punk to publish a small book on a shoestring budget, to organize parties to promote your work, and to try and create a community around shared interests: reading, writing, punk rock, and getting drunk."

Hey, those are my interests too!

[the emphasis is mine. heh.]

Digital cameras are fun. I'm out of practice (I stopped taking pictures long ago because I never got them developed) so my skills are still a little soft. But I ran a couple of these through Dawn's Amelie Effect Photoshop Action (guess which ones!) and it brightened them tremendously. I just want to emphasize the greatness of Photoshop yet again, despite evil corporate mongering.

And now, Jenna's Vacation in Pictures.

This is my adopted brother Kyle Kirby. Yes, his shirt does say, "Hello, my name is Stud."

This is my sister, Sarah, looking pretty. She doesn't even have to try, people! Don't you wish you were this guy?

This is my adopted sister/honorary cousin/girlfriend Sam actually posing, yes, posing for that shot. If you think that is genuine surprise, you don't know Sam.

This is obviously the new stock photo of the smartest coolest prettiest dog in the world, Ginger. Seriously she just poses. She's a lady.

It was a good break. But in the end, it's always good to come back to school.

This is the view from my dorm room. Isn't it petty?

These photo-centered entries are so goofy.
