Do Belize in Magic?

Managed a return from parts much South, absent of any stomach ailments or sun afflictions. Miraculous. Did get contact rabies scare from bat, and battled leeches, which was kind of upsetting.

Great trip. Extremely ghetto / gear'd out. Hopkins, Belize = pre-industrial revolution. My breakaway pants were put to the test more than twice. Been on the road for two weeks now, swamp ass has set in. Missed my girls terribly.

Shooting a movie in Belize with Bradley Beesley. Director of such epics as Okie Noodling and Sweethearts of the Prison Rodeo. Great crew, great times. Evidence:
Here we are crossing over to the Blue Horizon Lodge. Brown water, gray skies. It poured on us right after. Sayonara wallet and bye bye funny money.

Our skipper, Ransom.



Road to the marina, top notch. With crocs.

The feet of Brad Beasley.


Conch Shed.

Blue Horizon, built on conch shells and coral.




Hand lined lunch. That's a snapper.
Client, AL, looking at footage with Beez.

The source of the Beliken beers:

One too many Beliken beers:

I bought this lady a lock, she offered to "sit" for it.

El gigante with the good stuff:

Head chef, Roy:

Jorge, BB and Louisiana:

That's a Permit.


Dominoes in Placencia.

Hijinks, Hattiesville Federal Prison and gift shop:

Whoa.

Shooting in the flats.

And, Belize City.


Black Bishop wedding pics to follow.

Ida Lu

After saying I Love You to Jane about 17 million times,
she has finally reciprocated.
"I-duh-LOO" is what I'm getting, and I'll take it!

Here are some shots to hold Daddy over while he's in Belize,
plus some action video...

Porch time

Slumber Party

Staying up late for her first Longhorns game

And those two at the "sprayground"Practicing for music class

And here she is talking about 2 of her favorite things:
(Mama's been playing around with iMovie- this one is an homage to Tiny)


Finally, this gem sent in from Aunt Colleen. This is Austin Sr. (Grandpa Gus) and Uncle Austin standing at the corner of Austin Street in Austin, Texas. Whoa.
Miss you babe. xoxo W+J

Separation Anxiety

Well, I'm in lower Belize. Pretty rustic, that's kind.

Gots the internets but no cell phones. Before we set out on missions to capture the Jaguar Yeti and such, will drop one for you as I clear my hard drive.


That's my daughter, in my old jeans. Makes the travel just a touch tough. Add the genius to wife to the mix, fiddlesticks.

Comedy and an S.O.S. to follow.

Take her to the Pitt. Go, Big-booty. Use more honey. Find out what she knows.

Me and the girls are listening to King Khan, good times.

Managed to sneak out over the weekend and see the new Tarantino effort. Liked it lots, could have used a couple more hand grenades. Makes two movies for me this calendar year, theatered. Also went to my first Austin House Party. Hanging out in yards and stuff. Herb garden pretty much deceased. Holding on to my bay leaf tree, useful. Pants getting tighter.

Meanwhile in Charlotte:







Robert Rodriguez is shooting "Machete" out front of the office. Lowlights:

Been coming home to some epic meals, care of the missus. She's been told if these don't work out, it's back to work.

Finally got some film developed. These all look a little waxed I think, in real life, everyone's actually perfect.
