Oscar’s Chili

Made another world-famous batch of chili tonight. There’s a poor-boy lunch at work tomorrow, and all the proceeds go to the regional food bank. I always try to get some good vegetarian chili in there, and pretend it’s got meat in it. I fooled a bunch of people until they realized I’m a vegetarian, and then they were very weirded out. Nonetheless, they still come to buy my chili, so I’m proud of that. I try to make it Texas-style, just like the good folks at CASI do (although, since I don’t eat meat, I can’t make real Texas-style chili).
So, pissed off at the Oscars (again) this year. Can’t believe “Amélie” didn’t win anything! It should have taken Best Foreign Film, at least. Also very disappointed that “Ghost World” didn’t take Best Adapted Screenplay. As usual, Hollywood saw to it that the highest grossing pictures, and the ones with the best overall distribution got the Oscars. And while I enjoyed Monsters Inc., if the Academy had read this review, they wouldn’t have given it any awards. Heh, Billy Crystal plays a giant green testicle.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
