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.
