STOKED!

I'm in such a great mood right now. Marble Hornets is NOT OVER. Behold!

This sort of answers some questions; likely enough, it was often Troy who really wrote the Jay posts and tweets, for one thing. . .
Bravi, all!
And especially grooved out that TL Massey, my online friend, is specifically thanked in the credits!! Busting out proud!!

Charm, obdurate charm

I sure love my kids! The first three of these are recent; the others are less so, but don't you think they're cute!?

A Handsome Appearance

Hi, some recent phamily fotos from our old camera, as the new one is in the shop. I got new glasses, and Jonnie is learning to walk! The girls are still lovely, but that's hardly new!

Recentness

Well, the drama class fell through again. Rather a bummer. However, I've discovered a new entertainment: alternate reality gaming. It's really inspiring. I am now working on a new project and have recruited two people from abroad to collaborate. It's started. . .it's exciting.
it's coming.
Wow.
Eowyn's learning to inline skate, and to use an abacus. Chris and Coral are taking a test Saturday, to try to participate in Miami's Space Camp. Amy's writing a scholarly paper. Jonnie's learning to walk. It's a stirring time, but rather exhausting, as per norm.

Break; Dancing

Hi, here are two videos--about all that is worth salvaging--from this February. This is Feb. 15th, with Coral feeding lots and lots of koi fish. And this one is of Coral and Eowyn at the dance studio from earlier in the break, dancing to some Korean music. Eowyn was not a super-enthusiastic dancing participant, however.
Soon, there will be some new videos of Jonathan, a new one-year-old, eating in a charming manner.

Marble Hornets: The Anagrams!


The "Marble Hornets" game is fascinating. Someone suggested that the name of the student movie that is purported to be a feature of the story is such a strange name, and seemingly unconnected with the action of the movie that seems to be happening, that maybe it is an anagram of some other phrase. Here is a list of the possibilities, from respected wordsmith Anu Garg's Internet Anagram Server.
I like "Hamlet's Reborn" as a good lead. On the other hand, "Herbal Monster" may be it--possibly a reference to the "House of Leaves" novel?
Or how about

  • "Rem Blathers On"?
  • "Ramble Her Snot"?
  • "Her Lost Barmen"?
  • "Hot, Barren Elms"?
  • "Mel Abhors Rent"?
  • "No Brash Remelt"?
I really wonder...

On a related topic, I don't personally feel that Tim could be the masked person who attacked Jay, as some seem to suggest; Jay recently interviewed Tim, who seemed a rather normal guy in recent life, and he did not seem to have clear memories of the whole shoot. People have said that it's fairly certain it's Tim, and that he is far gone and has little memory or similarity to the person he was during the shoot, but clearly he is not too far gone in the interview.
Further, he has a power similar to that of the Slender Man in being able to do magical type things such as making people sleep, disrupting video and audio in the camera, and such. Tim could not do that unless he is also now supernaturally powerful.

Or maybe I'm misunderstanding others' arguments. I will read more. Is this a waste of time? It is certainly inspiring!
