While stranded for three days in Brisbane last year, I was able to catch up with two of my closest friends, Austin and Mark, the latter of whom has commemorated the occasion by making an homage to my self-parodying, though nonetheless honest, Film No. 2. Mark's Film No. 3 (what else?) cites the earlier piece directly in a couple of places, though mostly he references my videoblogs, particularly this one. He somehow managed to gain access to my old room, which has changed a little (new shelves!), and he ends the film with a reference to my history of substance abuse, which I'm pleased to say has changed as well (I'm no longer addicted to aspartame!). The piece also contains the latest in a long line of none too subtle suggestions that I visit Vancouver sometime in the next twelve months. Needless to say, Mark, I appreciate the sentiment.
