I think this is one of the best movies I’ve ever seen<\/a>. Done by a kid for a class project. I can’t stop watching it. And I get all choked up at the end every time when you see the photos.<\/p>\n

Thank you, Emily!!!<\/p>\n

Speaking of an O’Malley filmmaker (Kung Food Guy: Part 1<\/a>, Part 2<\/a>, trailer for Part 3<\/a>) Cashel is going to a summer camp where he will learn how to create video games.<\/p>\n

This is the coolest thing ever.<\/p>\n

He left me a rambling message where I only understood two words: “500,000 dollars” … It sounded like, “blah blah garble blah and BLAH GARBLE BLAH!!! blahblahblahblah 500,000 dollars!!”<\/p>\n

Is he asking me for 500,000 dollars? Not sure.<\/p>\n

I also had a brief conversation with him, where I could tell his attention was elsewhere. I had interrupted his Simpsons marathon.<\/p>\n

I said, “Okay, Cash, I’ll let you go. I know you need to get back to the Simpsons.”<\/p>\n

He pondered this, and then said, “Well. I don’t think I need<\/i> to get back to the Simpsons.”<\/p>\n

I howled with laughter. His linguistic sophistication rearing its head. “Hahahaha VERY good point, Cash – but you WANT<\/i> to … You don’t NEED to, but you WANT to. I completely know what you are talking about.”<\/p>\n

I don’t NEED to watch Holiday<\/i> and Only Angels Have Wings<\/i> back to back on a weekly basis. No, I don’t NEED to. But I WANT to.<\/p>\n

And that’s good enough for me. Life is so full of have-tos. It’s good to make time for what you WANT-to.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I can’t wait to see what video game he creates.<\/p>\n

Oh, and watch that Herb Brooks movie<\/a>. Genius! I’ve watched it 3 times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
