National Novel Writing Month - Mission Accomplished!

Friday, November 30th, 2007

I never thought I would be able to do it, but after 30 day’s of solid writing, I finished the novel. I think there’s some ambiguity as to the rules as the novel is largely autobiographical instead of fictional, but I don’t care. I wrote myself a novel. (more…)

In High School, I was in a band called The Threemasons (There were three of us and we were really into conspiracy theories). Unfortunately, as is bound to happen with all great musical groups, we disbanded. We played a couple of practice’s and a show or two, but never really got off the ground. Despite the inability to get it together, we did manage to get a couple of good songs going. (more…)

Ive been working on and off on this story for the better part of this year. The problem is, I’ve never been satisfied with the ending. So, I’ve decided to just start shooting what I have and releasing it in portions. It is my hope that this story unfolds on at least a monthly basis, with more of the background being explained as time goes on. (more…)

National Novel Writing Month

Tuesday, November 6th, 2007

I’ve decided to join in the fight against illiteracy. I’m taking part in the National Novel Writing Month. I know, I know. “What the hell makes you think YOU can write a novel?” The truth is, I’m not sure It will be too well, but I’m going to give it a try anyway. Atleast I can tell my grandkids one day “I tried to write a novel once, can you change grandpa’s diapers?” You have to write 50,000 words or 170-something pages by the end of November.

I miss the days when we used to record music. It seemed like every Tuesday me or one of my friends was releasing a nationaly praised record. Although most of these have been banned in every country but Uruguay, we all still had a great time. Not to mention the millions of dollars we made. Here’s a collection of some of our albums, along with the reviews from nationaly recognized albums. (more…)

The birth of Hecherz

Friday, October 19th, 2007
hecherz.jpg
Many a year ago, my mother gave birth to a child who had similar characteristics to myself and Mocherz. One would obviously assume that this would create a superhuman. Unfortunately, you would be dead wrong. Well, just normal wrong I guess. No, this resulted in a stupid, violent being who stalks the streets at night looking for those porno dispensers disguised as newspaper boxes. This crack smoking, feather eating, blood spitting mongrel is known by one name and one name only. Hecherz. (more…)

Thursday, October 18th, 2007

Have you ever pictured yourself falling in love to a soundtrack? Maybe you’re walking down the street and suddenly your eyes lock with the eyes of the person you would later realize to be the love of your life? What if you could set a soundtrack to these moments? The following play list was born with these circumstances in mind. I hope you enjoy it with your kids. If you don’t have any kids, I hope you make some kids with these songs playing. If you don’t want any kids, use a condom. Enjoy.

Old Nintendo in 3D

Thursday, October 4th, 2007

One of the greatest effects in film, is the bluescreen effect. The problem is, any slight change in shading of the blue screen causes distortion and makes it look just ugly. At the same time, 8 bit games were just that, 8 bits. Their colors are very simplistic and let bluescreen easily be done. Mixed with 3D technology like the kind found in After Effects also helps flat Nintendo graphics get better dimension. Here at Edraid, we would take advantage of all of these new technologies.

Many moons ago, we here at Edraid embarked on a film that would change the way people thought about weird films made for no money and with not much else. More moons after that, with multiple visits to the hospital and carpal tunnel syndrome on our hands, the film was done. This film was Direction. (more…)
