One of Hoade's life long dreams has been to make a movie. But in the time he's been here in Tuscaloosa, he's become quite the star in the local indimovie scene, being in three films so far, Blut und Feldt, a German expressionistic film [1] about Muppets gone bad, where Hoade played a detective gone bad; The Tool, a film about a man (played by Hoade) who may or may not have a guardian angel studying his every move, and a third film whose name escapes me, but Hoade plays a skinhead with a thing for guns. By far the best is Blut and Feldt.
He also showed me his wife's organizational skill in the freezer:
[Vanna White will be played by Sean Hoade] [2] [3] [Neatly organized frozen vegetable matter] [4] [5]
After lunch at a local diner, we visited a cigar shop where Hoade found a rather amusing towelette, indicitive of the area:
[Wash Away Your Sins] [6] [7] [Right your wrongs with a wipe] [8] [9]
We then visited the local collage (University of Alabama) [10] he currently attends and teaches at:
[Sign of the times?] [11] [12] [Clark Hall, Part I] [13] [14] [Clark Hall, Part II] [15] [16] [A sense of history] [17] [18] [A typical student dormatory] [19] [20] [Denny Chimes I] [21] [22] [Denny Chimes II] [23] [24] [More sense of history] [25] [26]
After looking around a bit, we hit the library. Hoade had to look for a book for his wife, and we checked out a digital video camera.
Yes, a digital video camera. Any student here can check out a video camera and then use the computers (all Macs) to edit the resulting video.
[Yea, but FAU's library is FIVE stories!] [27] [28] [Okay, no nude women on FAU's library] [29] [30] [Or Fabio] [31] [32] [Yea, FAU's library sucks compared to this] [33] [34]
Later on in the evening we went out to dinner. Coming back to the car, someone had socked his attenna. Well, socked and ragged it really. Very wierd.
[Usually this doesn't happen until September] [35] [36] [There's no way I'm washing this!] [37] [38]
Back at Casa del Hoade, we talked and played around with the digital video camera, having fun with the night vision mode.
Yea, we're easily amused.
