"What in the name of Joss Whedon was that?"

Felicia Day's new video for NASA's Spitzer Space Center. Very Funny! (and educational too :)

Once a Browncoat...

... always a Browncoat :)

"You've Got Red on You."

I promise this'll be the last Boris related post for awhile, but Nathan was doing his first official signing today so I ventured out to the San Gabriel Valley for the afternoon to say "hi." I also decided I should make a custom Boris for Nathan. (I was going to give him "Angel Boris" but he looked so good on my shelf next to "Demon Boris" that I hated to break up the set.) So, since Nathan's as big a Simon Pegg fan as I am, "Boris of the Dead" was born :)



Here's Nathan with his new Boris:

And Nathan doing a Boris sketch for me :)

JACK CHOP

My friend Rileah Vanderbilt is engaged to filmmaker Adam Green (HATCHET, FROZEN). Here is his 11th annual Halloween short film! It is a spoof of TV's infamous "Slap Chop" infomercial. Behold the Jack-o'-lantern carnage and gore! It's prolly NSFW, but it is really fucking funny :)

Go Baby Go!

I've been back in LA for 4 1/2 years and had yet to make it to the racetrack so I decided today was the day. One of my all-time favorite horses was running in the Lady's Secret Stakes so I called that my excuse, packed up Boris, and headed to Santa Anita.

Boris' first trip to the track :)

The weather was perfect. Sunny, kinda breezy, and not too hot. I saw some amazing horses and some great races and just generally had a great time.

2009 Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird:
The main reason I went though was to see Zenyatta. This mare is amazing. She is proving to be one of the great race horses of all time. She's big. She's gorgeous. And damn but she can run.... She was 12-0 going into the Lady's Secret Stakes this afternoon and she did not disappoint.




So with her easy (yet still impressive) win today Zenyatta remains undefeated. Next up for her is the Breeder's Cup Ladies Classic on Nov. 6th. It's a $2 million race and it should be one for the record books. I can't wait!

All Good Raccoons Go to Heaven...

... which doesn't begin to explain my devious little friend here :)

So this is "Blue Angel Boris." He supposed to be the "good" little angel to go with "Demon Boris" that I worked on a couple of weeks back, but I think he just charmed his way through the pearly gates. Just look at that face and you know he's up to something....

Many thanks again to the very talented Nathan Hamill for creating this little guy. He's been a lot of fun to work on. I have one more I want to do and then I think I'm done with the Borii for awhile... although I do have a couple of ideas for Nathan's Lava Bear when he come out :)

Here's my ever expanding collection of mischievous raccoons -

Hope everyone is having a great weekend! I'm off to see Zombieland!
