Good and Lazy

I Apologize About the Lack of Robot Posting

Our room is still a mess and the scanner is still hidden under a mass of cords.

I have been keeping myself quite busy this week working on a script. The first draft is finished but there are a lot of holes to be filled (and I have to figure out a way to fill the holes while cutting one of the four pages).

In related news, Woooo! Weekend! Today I was reminded by my mother that my birthday is a little more than a week away...I completely forgot about that whole thing...being older.

There is a cricket in my room

and it is driving me insane.

It's Literally a Sandwich Fair

Talking about making sandwiches reminded me of The Sandwich Fair. If you're from the town I grew up in, you know exactly what this is. If not, click on the link and you'll witness pretty much a spot on representation of what the Sandwich Fair is all about. The reason it is called the Sandwich Fair is because it takes place in a town called Sandwich, Illinois (And if you clicked on that link you now know that the Sandwich Fair is really the only thing worth mentioning about Sandwich, Illinois [at least according to wikipedia]).

The fair is kind of a big deal for everyone in that area. My friend from high school visited me recently and before he left, his parents said something about him missing the Sandwich fair (his Mom later sent him picture messages from the fair).

That got us talking and we realized how misleading the Sandwich Fair is if you don't know that there is a Sandwich, Illinois. The Sandwich Fair has no sandwiches of note. I really wish they played off their name more and had a sandwich tent or at least followed a sandwich theme. Is that patronizing? I just think my friend would have reconsidered his trip to California if he knew he was going to miss a fair with thousands of types of sandwiches. I, for one, would not have blamed him for rescheduling.

Again! No Robot! Tomorrow Tomorrow!

Tomorrow I will have access to a scanner. Then I'm going to BOMBARD you with robots.

To help ease the pain from lack of robots here is a picture of a breakfast I had the other day.

I hear stories about how lazy people are when it comes to cooking but I really am never shocked by any of them (I didn't make a sandwich the other day because I thought it involved too many steps).

Maybe it wasn't just the steps that scared me away...I think it also had to do something with looking for all the ingredients and then getting all of them out. Well actually that is a step. Anyway, I think I ended up eating bread and then cheese. Separately.

If you feel you have a lazy story of your own, send me a comment or email and I'll post the best and most hilarious ones.

The Robot House Party Revolution is Upon Us!

I'm sorry to disappoint. I do not have a robot to post. I need to scan them but the scanner is next to my girlfriends computer which is behind our couch. All because of the Robot House Party.

The Etsy store is now fully operational! Look at it here! Let me know if you see any spelling errors or things that just do not make sense on the site. I'm really excited about all of this! Get excited with me!

Robot House Party!

This is the reason I haven't posted a robot today or yesterday. What is it? It's the printing/cutting/pressing area for the new Etsy store Robot House Party! Robot House Party is going to specialize in making custom 2" by 3" magnets. What will happen is we will send a template to the customer, the customer will place whatever image or saying they want in the template (at 300 dpi), send it to us, and we will make magnets out of the image!

The machine is awsome. I wasn't really sure what to expect, but the magnets we've been making on this thing are the exact same as the kind you'd order from CafePress.

Jessee has been working on the banner and avatar pretty much all day while I have been trying to figure out things like store policies. Let me know what you think of both. I know that the policies department still needs some work but it's on it's way.

In related news: We produced 72 magnets for The Mincing Mockingbird and The Frantic Meerkat of Etsy today.

I believe that the name of this blog will soon change to Robot House Party. Don't be alarmed when it happens!

Robot wonders why the man won't give him a break

This robot is kind of me. I just want to recharge my batteries right now. I think part of it is that I've been fending off sickness all week. That and I've been trying to develop a script. It's not going so well because it's supposed to be a comedy and the combination of me being awkward as I explain it and it having dramatic elements makes it seem like a drama with a lackluster twist. I'm trying to go for a comedy with a fitting twist. Blaaaaaa. Email me if you would like to give it a read.

I have a pretty hilarious day dream yesterday. I was reading something about the Mona Lisa and I just envisioned this trailer to a movie that comes out in 2015 and it is the story of Mona Lisa. Not the painting, the person. I just pictured this terrible CG movie drama trailer where a CG Mona Lisa is being hit on and running from beggars and stuff. I just pictured Mona Lisa's "perfect face" showing CG emotions like being distraught and crying. I don't know if that makes sense. I picture the characters faces to look kind of like this. But the story would have less space travel and more of this sort of thing. Yes, basically I picture my Mona Lisa movie as being "Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within" meets "Girl with a Pearl Earring." Maybe this is the script I should be working on.

Robot assassin wonders why it was programed to feel remorse

Today has been a good day so far. I've been productive. I'm excited for the future. I'm also excited about this movie. I will see it in the future.

Lizard in the Kitchen!

Jessee and I found a tiny baby lizard in the kitchen. It was really weird.

In other news the secret project is coming along. I predict that it will become operational by next Monday. Be ready.

Robot lie detector of the future

Get it?! He's a robot not a real boy!! That's why his nose is growing! Like Pinocchio! Who also said he was a real boy! But he wasn't either! This robot is the Pinocchio of the future!

September 8th Robot: Robot skyscraper is bored all of the time

September 7th Robot: Robot from Montgomery

It's just like, It's just like a mini...mall!

Find the inspiration here!

Can you imagine sitting through this commercial for two minutes? I just did!

For some reason it reminded me of this Home Star Runner toon. I think it's a combination of Pom Pom looking like the Montgomery guy and Strong Bad sounding like him.

September 6th Robot: "Die, Die, Die...I can't..."

Find the inspiration for this robot here. I really enjoyed this movie. I've pretty much forced it on everyone who stays at my apartment overnight.

September 5th Robot: Robot came off the assembly line wrong

Look, he's all ugly and sad and stuff...

September 4th Robot: Robot! What happened to your eye?!

When the robot couldn't respond with a satisfactory answer quick enough it was reprogrammed.

Robot attempts to see the back of its throat

I'm feeling good about today. I think today's going to be a good day.

I've become mildly obsessed with this website since the beginning of the summer. Unfortunately the episode most recently updated could be the least entertaining I've seen but pretty much all of the others are solid gold.

I think that JakeandAmir.com filled the void left by ClarkAndMichael.com. Now I have to go watch clarkandmichael.

Robot got tired and took a nap yesterday so it still has a lot of work to do

I have a busy week ahead of me. Cam Gibson is visiting in two days and I want to complete a good amount work before he gets here. I have a pitch due Thursday and I still don't really know what I want my movie to be about.

It's hard for me to describe my feelings about HumanDescent

I was just found this website through The Mincing Mockingbird's blog. The pictures are amazing but at the same time I'm really afraid of them. I know that each second I stare at these pictures the chances of me having nightmares about them increases but I just keep staring. I mean look at that! It's a horse and a gorilla!

Robot realizes how much work it has to do

I am this robot.

The good news is that I'm no longer having dreams where I'm blind. The reason? I have found work.

I don't want to go into the details of what I'm going to be doing before I start doing it but the materials for my project are on their way. They are arriving sometime at the end of this week and until then I am preparing for the launch of Project Faraday (that's my code name for it). I'll announce the launch of the project within the next two weeks.

(note: This will not hinder my robot drawing. If anything, the project will enhance it.)

Aug. 31st Robot: Robot needs to recharge its batteries

Aug. 30th Robot: Robot obsessed with getting some

If only he knew what "some" was.
