I’ve been seeing some unusual traffic patterns lately here. Up, down, up, down. I know why it’s happening. And it’s logical. But usually, my stats run fairly steady without so much of the jumping around. Adding onto this pile of statistical weirdness: by the end of the stat counting day today, there was an unusual spike due to some random (and typographically incorrect) link on The Village Voice. Apparently, breasts sell. Who knew?

I’m happy with the way ipanemic is going these days. Now if I can ONLY wrap up Headless Buddha… it’s driving me mad. I simply don’t have enough time. Which, I guess I should give an update.

I’m running a little behind. “Regular work” and trying to juggle some other things has left me pushing the release out for HeadlessBuddha beyond September 1st. I’m bummed about that. I’m shooting for it to be open for public consumption the following week. Also, since I put out the trailer, I’ve had some different ideas about layout and content and it’s somewhat slowing me down. There’s simply no way I’m hitting September 1st. But soon after, soon after…

Oh, as for the whole South Beach Social thing… I haven’t watched that train wreck of a show that everyone talks about. (You know, the one about Miami?) But my neighbors entertain me. So I figured I would film real life in South Beach. It can’t possibly be any worse, from what I hear. Plus, my attention span is only about 1.2 minutes so the videos are short. And commercial free.

I wish I could record some of the more serious drama that goes on here. But I think I should probably get releases signed for that. Just thinking out loud…recording my neighbors on film might end rather poorly. On the plus side, you’ll probably get to meet my douche of a neighbor that everyone hates, Brian. I didn’t change his name to protect his identity. His name is Brian. And he’s a douche.

Last bit of news for the day: Saw both a syringe AND a used condom on the beach today. Up around 34th. So not South Beach. Weird.
