Best. Photo. Ever. In the world.

I just wanted to share with you the BEST PHOTO EVER.

The most interesting place ever!

Alright, quick updates:

I found an apartment! I'm actually moving in tomorrow. Hooray door with a lock and my own bathroom!

I've been searching for work around L.A. and found a few cool projects to get my feet wet. I also turned www.jackpattillo.com into something more than just a photo of me and Uday. Hooray online resumes!

Things have been going really well. Stuff is falling in to place and I'm having a really great time here. A good friend of mine wrote me an email and asked how L.A. was going, I wrote this back to her tonight:

Let me describe the day I had to you:

I woke up late, rolled off the fold out couch I'm sleeping on right now and headed to Best Buy to pick up tapes, and then Target to get some sheets for my new bed I'm getting (I'm moving in to an apartment tomorrow, woot).

I then came back to the place I'm crashing, relaxed for about an hour and then went to a gym where I did P.A. work for a webisode of a show shot by some guys who work on The Office. (Including the newly Emmy-nominated sound guys. Wild.)

We worked on that for a few hours, then I grabbed my camera and drove down to Beverly Hills to go shoot an art show opening that was curated by Danny Franzese, aka, Lindsey Lohan's friend from Mean Girls. I got free alcohol and did interviews with Andy Milanakis, Martin Starr (awesome) and Eric Jungmann, the "Friend" from Not Another Teen Movie. The one who chases after the girl and ultimately gets his shit kicked out at the airport.

And there were people dressed in costumes.

Oh! And I saw old Pete from Pete & Pete, the old Nickelodeon show. What??

I then swung by Carl's Jr. on the way home and grabbed a western burger, and now I'm returning emails.

So yeah...that's how L.A. is going for me. :)

I'm having fun.

Jonathan Coulton: Geek Folk Superstar

I had a few people over the other night to play some Rock Band. A buddy brought over the ION Drum Kit for Rock Band (Holy awesomeness), and there was much drinking of alcohols and playing of musics.

One thing that caught everyone's attention was when I sang Skullcrusher Mountain. Everyone except for Thorr (the ION-owner) had no idea who this musical genius was. (Coulton, not me.) So I tried to explain. Anyway, if you haven't heard of Jonathan Coulton, you need to check him out. Obviously you should check out his website or listen to these videos I've embedded below for your enjoyment.

We'll start with the one that kicked it off for everyone, Skullcrusher Mountain:



Probably his most famous tune, Still Alive, the closing credit song for Portal, the video game (sung here by Felicia Day from Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-Long Blog):



And one of my personal favorites, probably his sweetest track "I'm Your Moon" which is a song sung from Pluto's point of view about it's moon. It's a love song:



And there are so many more. Check out Code Monkey, Shopvac, First of May. All classics. Enjoy!
