This is us at 7 in the morning waiting in line in front of the Jay & Silent Bob's Secret Stash store. Why?
Because yesterday was the 10th anniversary of the release of the Mallrats DVD, and the cast of Mallrats (sans Jason Lee) was going to be present to sign stuff. INCLUDING KEVIN SMITH!!!! (stop crying David...)
So here we are. We got there at the primitive hour and were lucky enough to score seats a few feet from the doors. Unlucky folk that got there later lined up along the block (and around the corner) behind us.
Hmmm.... I wonder what I'm doing. *evil snicker*

Hmmm
As we went along the tour of the Secret Stash store we noticed in the back corner a set of wings. Could it be- the magnanomous appendiges that had hung from hunk Ben Affleck's back in the promiscuously controversial Dogma?
My GOD it was!!!
So, here are a couple of pics of Darryl and I thinking happy thoughts.

I'm Sorry...
Poor shmucks Pete and Andy sat with us from 7am-3pm, but could not come in because they would not purchase the new Mallrats DVD. Bye Pete and Andy!

Radio Star!
I was on the radio this morning!!!!!
Star 98.7 is a station I listen to during traffic because the DJ's (Jamie, Jack, and Stench) are about as rude and crude as I am, and through them I've had many an entertaining morning. Low and behold, today they start talking about their new boss saying at a morning meeting that he will begin to make some 'productive changes' to the station (primarily meaning Jamie, Jack, and Stench).
Blaspheme.
Well, as expected, listeners from all over south Cali. start calling up to make sure they get vocal support. Among one of those listeners was a little filipino in a white toyota camry.
Yes, me.
And HOLY SH*T!!! They picked up!!! Jamie, Jack, and Stench suddenly start talking over my phone, saying: "And now here is Summer, Summer- are you there?" and they proceed to converse with me!
OVER THE RADIO!!!!!
Anywhoo... I give them my support forever and tell them they rule. They ask background info, I tell them. I even get to sell my movie a bit, ON THE AIR, with them cheering me on. And then, with another cheer goodbye, they hang up.
And I raise the volume on my car radio and (god bless 2 second delays) HEAR MY VOICE!!!!!!!!!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They are talking about a celebration- Southern Decadence- that happens annually in New Orleans which took place a few weeks before hurricane Katrina. Because Southern Decadence is a gay and lesbian gathering www.repentamerica.com has called it a "celebration of sin."

Flowers In The Attic
Among the many other people & animals that are having their lives interrupted by Katrina, University Students are having a difficult time too. Their semester has been interrupted. An overflowing amount of US Colleges and University (Go UT of Arlington! Now accepting ALL applicants!) have offered to take in the misplaced students for low or no fees, but a surprising response came from the people upstairs. Here's an insert from dancingwithkatrina.blogspot.com:
"I am trying to get the word out to university students who were affected by the hurricane. Please pass this on to anyone who might be interested; five universities in Nova Scotia, Canada are willing to take in students at a reduced tuition fee. One is even offering to take 5 students free of charge (will provide full tuition and room and board). The others are willing to do whatever they can to get students into classes and houses. contact hurricane.relief@acadiau.ca
or go to www.smu.ca to see two examples."
You nice Canadians you!

I know it's corny, but...
http://www.popdance.us/bigkids.html
I'm joining. It's about two blocks away from where I live, only $10 per class, a good excuse to excersize, and a better excuse to learn how to dance. I gotta somehow catch up with my canadian cousins, right? And it starts tomorrow, which is good because if I had to wait too long I would just find an excuse NOT to go.
Speaking of joining stuff... I joined the Red Cross! I've been thinking about it for all of last week. I felt awful reading and watching news about thousands of people dying and having their whole existence taken away from them; and the fact that I would be in some posh office in Malibu or in my home in North Hollywood complaining about how hot it was, or the price of gas, or how bad the driving was seemed so conceitful and disrespectful. I had to do something...
...don't worry Mommy. It won't cost me a thing, I still have my full-time job (they know all about it and are fine with it), and when the Red Cross flies me over to help with the survivors I won't be going into the cities that were damaged but to the camps and relief stations like the Astrodome and such. Completely safe.
I would be doing nothing with that time spent but watching TV anyway.
I am thankful for:
-Understanding parents who (pretty please) realize that I need to do this and support me even though it is most likely against their wishes for me
-Ice cream on a hot day
-My car to get me where I need to go
-Knowing my family is safe
-Knowing where my family is
-A house to call home

The Funeral
Yesterday we held the funeral for Eclipse at the Filmmaker House. I invited everyone a week ahead of time and made out these programs for the occasion. Everyone agreed to coming (which had me siked!) and so, on Friday the 2nd of September, we proceeded in saying farewell to my kitty.
Cooking
To show my appreciation for their attendance I cooked my roommates a traditional Filipino dinner before the funeral. Pancit, Shrimp with baby corn and mushrooms, and Caldereta! Ummm.....
Unfortunately it was the first time I cooked some of the recipes so (even though I started 2 hours early) I ended up finishing an hour late.

Ha Ha
It was so funny! Peter offered to help me cook (because I needed it badly) and so we set about shelling shrimp together.
Hilarious! Peter had never touched raw shrimp before and when I showed him how he had to behead the shrimp he almost puked. Poor Pete... I had to behead shrimp before him so he could touch them. LOL

Finally, dinner!
Anyway, the guys were nice enough to wait the HOUR past they needed to while I finished cooking the food (thank you Mommy and Daddy for you help over the phone).
Look at them! They are so cute! When I made the invitations for the funeral I put "formal dress" and they totally went for it. It really touched me- they looked so nice and handsome in it all. Miska and Darryl even put on some nice cologne!

The Ceremony
We went outside and proceeded with the funeral. While Peter officiated we did the "Lighting of the Candles," Darryl did a heart-wrenching Eulogy, and with great fanfair and charm Miska read the lines of the poem on the program.
I was pretty brave- I didn't cry once.

Afterwards we lit the candles and, since I could not bury her remains because it had already been done by my amazing family in Texas, everyone watched as I planted 2 sunflower seeds in her honor.
Erick watered the seeds from the water in our coffee pot, since all of the glasses had been used for the dinner.
We went inside then and Peter surprised me with a small video he made that showed clips (I had forgotten!) of Eclipse during our roadtrip. It was so touching- the tears I had blocked the whole night kinda came out then.
I have the greatest roommates in the whole world.

The final resting place of Eclipse (at least in spirit for the residents of California).

News From www.drudgereport.com
This just came in:
4:15 P.M. - (AP): Police say storm victims are being raped and beaten inside the New Orleans Convention Center.
About 15,200 people who had taken shelter at the convention center to await buses grew increasingly hostile.
Police Chief Eddie Compass says he sent in 88 officers to quell the situation at the building, but they were quickly beaten back by an angry mob.
Compass says, "We have individuals who are getting raped, we have individuals who are getting beaten."
He says tourists are walking in that direction and they are getting preyed upon.
In hopes of defusing the unrest at the convention center, Mayor Ray Nagin gave the refugees permission to march across a bridge to the city's unflooded west bank for whatever relief they can find. But the bedlam appeared to make leaving difficult.
Whatever hope I had of fiction staying fiction (Blindness- see post below) has just been shattered.

Whatever hope I had of fiction staying fiction (Blindness- see post below) has just been shattered.
Help
It's almost surreal. Last month I was enthraled in the horrible fiction of Blindness (by Jose Saramago), a book about a society undergoing an epidemic crisis and the drastic, inhumane choices it makes to control it, and I remember thinking "If this ever happens in real life it'll be like living in Hell." ...and now I'm going through the pictures of the damage done by Hurricane Katrina and reading the articles about what the people have to go through in- among other cities just like it- New Orleans and I can't help but notice the similarities between real life and fiction; when all of the sudden I read a quote by the man in this picture that sends chills down my spine:
"It's like living in Hell."
Can this be? Surely the US must be doing something about it... we helped aid the tsunami victims and are always ready to help when other countries are going through crisis...
But then I read about the poor masses of people- who the papers are now calling refugees- crashing through closed stores (which are damaged anyway and will see all their money back through insurance) trying to get their hands on any food or water they can find to survive and, as a response, read quotes like what Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour said on NBC's Today show Thursday: "We're trying to deal with looters as ruthlessly as we can get our hands on them."
Looters? Ruthlessly? Is that what you call mothers trying to feed their children? Or men trying to get medicine for sick loved ones?
Or how about this quote from an MSN news article:
"We were told (by police) don't drink or eat in public as it could lead to a mob situation," NBC's Michelle Hofland said. "We were told that by sundown to get out of here."
Or how about the picture I saw of young boys being forced by gunpoint to lie on the hot gravel of the Texas Highway because they stole a mailman's cart to GET AWAY from the devastation?
Or what about:"He was frightened and would not land," Richard Zuschlag, head of Acadian Ambulance, said about why the ONE helicopter the national guard was sending to the superdome refused to land after shots were fired.
Do not misunderstand me- I am not trying to disregard the helping efforts that have been made. Fishermen from surrounding towns on the Gulf- some coming from 200 miles away- have been driving their boats in to aid with the search for people in the water. The few policemen and service men there to help are doing the best they can with their short numbers and smaller amount of medicine, life saving supplies,and ammunition. And the National Guard is still coming to the superdome to help evacuate the some of the thousands of people stuck there with no home, food, water, or news from loved ones.
But what I am surprised about is the disgusting way the government- from the President down to Mississippi's Mayor- is treating the people going through this. While police and service men are down there 'getting dirty' and helping, the men up top- the men who fly by on helicopters to 'survey the disaster,' are saying things like 'shoot to kill' about looters and calling in 100 troops to help when there is clearly a need for thousands. This is not some charity case that you can hope to rub off on well-meaning celebrities and donations Mr. President and Mr. Mayor. This is not a 'low point' in the economy or 'something to learn from next time.' Get off your vacation ranches in Texas or your leather chair and take a good look at the people you swore to help and protect. You are spending 300 billion on the 'war against terror,' and spend millions of dollars to help refugees in the sad little 3rd world countries on your wish list, but these are your CHILDREN, the TAX PAYERS, that need more than a statement or a meesly call to arms.
Never should you ever attach the word 'refugee' to a citizen of your nation. Stop what you are doing and help.

Political Stuff
Cindy Sheehan (the woman camped at George W. Bush's ranch) speaks for herself:
"This is George Bush's accountability moment. That's why I'm here. The mainstream media aren't holding him accountable. Neither is Congress. So I'm not leaving Crawford until he's held accountable. It's ironic, given the attacks leveled at me recently, how some in the media are so quick to scrutinize -- and distort -- the words and actions of a grieving mother but not the words and actions of the president of the United States."
Strong stuff.
In an effort to not make my site a political one- because, although I am very much political, I do not like to outright "choose sides" online when people RIGHT NOW are dying- I don't want to add my opinion to the events of the world. But someone mentioned something to me the other day and I found it very interesting:
"I am not a supporter of Bush, but the US HAD to vote him in for the second term. Kerry, if he had won, would have pulled (the troops) out immediately. This would have meant death for any US supporters still in Iraq (foreign and Iraqis) and everything would have gone back to the way it was before. It would have made the lives already sacrificed a waste. People realised this and probably decided, since we started it we should finish it."
Allow the President to invade a neighboring nation, whenever he shall deem it necessary to repel an invasion, and you allow him to do so, whenever he may choose to say he deems it necessary for such a purpose -- and you allow him to make war at pleasure. - Abraham Lincoln

I'm always about going to haunted places. What- there's a ghost in that house? Let's go!
That's me.
But it's a shame that when I finally get to go to a bo-na-fide haunted place (the Hotel Coronado in San Diego) the only pictures we take is with me in a huge chair.
Shame.

We had- yet again- another barbeque! Yay! Funny stuff... Urban (the man holding the vodka in the wheelchair) isn't really wheelchair bound but convinced Shauna (the woman in the middle with the pink shirt) that he was. It was therefore a pretty funny thing to see Shauna's face when Urban, at the end of the party, walks up to her and sits beside her on the couch.

Poor Peter. His bathroom's screen window isn't dark enough, so when nighttime comes around we at the filmmaker house can see all of God's gifts spread in front of us like dinner.
But, with the smell coming from there, who would want to see it anyway?

Yes my friends... you are witnessing the world wide website premiere (first time on my site, at least) of the beautiful, multi-talented, destined for stardom baby Taylor Alexandria Byrd.
Isn't she so cute!!!
Ah Texas. She was the reason why I came and how grand a choice that was. Below you will see the exhibits of my travels, from old friends, old schools, to new beginnings (happy 10th CUCC!!!). So have fun and enjoy the view (and excuse the spelling... I'm trying to get this done as quick as possible so I can eat my Daddy's barbeque).
Oh- and Hi Coach Atlas! Hi Patricia! Hi everyone at CUCC! Hi Dominic! and, of course-
HI TAYLOR!!!!

Say Hi to Dominic! This is his first time on my website as well... pretty cool. Sunday after I came home Dominic gave me a call and asked if I wanted to go play pool. I said of course, but then I (stupid) forgot my ID so we went bowling instead and had lots of fun anyway.

FYI this ball curved into a strike. Dominic beat me big time... he won 2 games and I only beat him once.

Bran came down to visit and we had ourselves a tour of our old memories by visiting our Alma Matter (Morton Elementary , to be percise).
This is us posing beside the map of the US on the courtyard cement (painted during our term!). The school was totally different, but some how still the same. Really awesome.

While Brandi was down we went to the mall with Hazel and Taylor, low and behold, we saw our old friend (from 10 years ago) Patricia! Weird, huh? Anywhoo... Patricia invited us to her black belt test (she had to break some boards) and I was able to go.
That's a pic of Prish kicking butt!

This is Keianna in her dress for the Cosmopolitan United Church of Christ's 10th Anniversary. We went to a formal dinner in the grand ballroom of the Richardson Hotel on friday and oh was it fun! Randy put it all together (good job Randy!) and the choir performed beautifully and there was a documentary of the CUCC and how it got started (AMAZING job by Eddie F!).
It was impressive, really impressive. Pastor Ding got a surprise plaque and he was so sweet during his thank you speech- I almost cried. And Mike K. led everybody in a really fun auction to help raise money for the building fund (I just heard they raised $5,000! Congrats guys!).
Awesomeness. Take a look for yourself:

Now among all this happy news comes sad news. My poor kitty Eclipse (14 years old this year) was incredibly sick the whole week of my vacation. She wouldn't eat or drink anything. Me and Mommy took her to the vet and the doctor said that she was very close to having liver failure because she had almost starved. :(
Poor Eclipse, I'm sorry. We have to force feed her for a while (at least Mommy does, since I'm back in LA now), and it's extremely difficult for her to walk.

Gorgeous isn't she? She's the widow that lives in our backyard. Egg sack and everything. I noticed her when I was pulling my car in and accidentally bumped (just a tap!) the black rod that she built her nest in. Geez... if we thought we had legends living in our house before...
Anywhoo, I was so excited that I was stupid enough to tell Miska, Pete, and Darryl. Dummy! Of course- being the big strapping men that they are- they all freaked out and exclamations of "Burn the Beast!" and "Kill the Killer!" followed. Poor girl. I tried to convince them to let me catch her (so that when they weren't looking I'd dump her somewhere else) but to my dismay when I tried I was totally unsuccessful. The steadfast mommy just wouldn't leave her nest.
So they lit a rolled up newspaper and stuck it in the hole.
*Sigh*
OF COURSE, if you deal with physics or the rules of ANYTHING, you would know that sticking a wad of burning paper in a metal pipe accomplishes nothing. Nada. Smoke, but no fireworks.
Needless to say now we have a ratty looking pipe, a burnt up bunch of Black Widow eggs, and a big heap of pissed off Black Widow bent on killing us once she wipes off her melted web.
Anywho: Booklist! (Hope you read the first one Angel):
1.BLINDNESS Jose Saramago- a whole city is taken over by an epidemic of blindness except for one woman who has to watch the whole cookie crumble.
2.LULLABY Chuck Palahniuk- same dude who wrote Fight Club. Cool idea, interesting characters, lackluster mid-ending, satisfying all around.
3.NAKED LUNCH William S. Burroughs- written while he was high and therefore doesn't remember writing it. TRIPPY! At first I was appalled by it all, but my growing interest (like the crack he was addicted to) was continually fed by his unyielding belief in the world he lived in.
NEWS:
-Going to Texas tomorrow to say hi to Taylor! Geez... I feel like it's been years. How old.
-Added a new link! Dunno if you guys know her, but I was in the newspaper staff with her in High School: Allegra Davis. Read her, she's interesting.
-4th week and going strong! My tae-bo "lifestyle" (because diet is such an ugly word) is really showing with the clothes I put on!
-Depression sets in at the filmmaker house. I'll tell ya later.
