Too Many Plantain Chips (NEXUS ONE)
[LESS INFO] 2 VIEWS | ADDED 05:24:26 01/07/10
This new years eve crystallized some big concepts for me. I wasn't planning to create new years resolutions but as I let my self sleep in recovering from the catastrophes of the day before the ways in which I'd like to improve came flying into my head. While coming to terms with it all I also was dedicating all my creative energy into figuring out what I could make for Google. They'd given me the unreleased Nexus One a few weeks prior and asked me to make a video about it offering a substantial financial incentive. So I really wanted to do something that we both would be proud of but literally couldn't get organized enough to get it done.

Four Eyed Monsters - Episode 12 - Bargaining
[LESS INFO] 0 VIEWS | ADDED 17:05:53 05/04/09
WATCH NEXT EPISODE: http://foureyedmonsters.com/13 ARIN'S BLOG ABOUT THIS EPISODE: Why throw the baby out with the bath water? Maybe there are some aspects to a failing relationship that can be salvaged? I'm so persistant that I'll just keep bargaining and negotiating a shittier and shittier deal. When do you walk away from the table? Or is it bad to think of things so black and white, on or off. Is there a gray? If two people are going to be thinking of each other all the time even though they are dating new people, why not also keep in touch and be able to sort of be together as well? Is this a sloppy way to go? Is a clean break really so clean? This episodes is part of our project called Four Eyed Monsters which contains a feature film and 13 episodes plus a compilation of music all available on a DVD/CD combo available online at http://foureyedmonsters.com/dvd Please subscribe to our channels and spread the word about these episodes to those who might enjoy them.

Four Eyed Monsters - Episode 11 - Anger
[LESS INFO] 1 VIEWS | ADDED 04:05:27 05/01/09
WATCH NEXT EPISODE: http://foureyedmonsters.com/12 SUSAN'S BLOG ABOUT EPISODE 11: I am sort of attracted to darkness. I think I'm 90% pretty normal and 'good' but I do have this 10% that's very deviant. Being a stripper and enjoying it was a manifestation of that deviance. I understand how emasculating it must be for a boy to have a girlfriend that spends her time charming and mentally seducing other men while dancing scantaly clad simply because they pay her but I wish that my boyfriend would just understand that I'm devious by nature and that it doesn't change how I feel about him. I wish it didn't cheapen the intimacy that we share. I wish he would look into my heart, see it's dark side and love me anyway. ARIN CRUMLEY'S BLOG ABOUT EPISODE 11: Can intimacy be shared between more then just one other person? What about selling it? Is that the same thing as sharing? Is that cheating? Is it a worse kind of cheating or a better kind of cheating? Who knows? Maybe it was just something she always wanted to do and had nothing to do with me, and at certain points I was totally behind it thinking, "you go girl" but eventually my emotions caught up to the situation and I was not okay. It felt like something actually done as part of a campaign against me. Operation slowly start to screw over Arin and then leave when the time is just right, leave him.

Four Eyed Monsters - Episode 10 - Denial
[LESS INFO] 1 VIEWS | ADDED 03:58:54 05/01/09
WATCH NEXT EPISODE: http://foureyedmonsters.com/11 SUSAN'S BLOG ABOUT EPISODE 10: Things had been tense and strained for Arin and I for a long time. I chalked it up to stress from working on the film 24/7, constantly being in each others' presence and of course the strain of financial crisis. I figured we'd eventually come out of these problems and be able to spend quality time together and perhaps fall in love again but then there was Kyle. Nothing much really happened between us but it was the first time I was tempted to look outside the relationship for what I was missing with Arin instead of working on making it better between us. It opened up the door to the outside world again. It was an exit sign to the world we had created together. ARIN'S BLOG ABOUT EPISODE 10: I was really turned on by helping Susan create this fantasy stripper alter ego. I was in support from the beginning. And for me it was neat to finally get to have sex with the alter ego she'd been creating. It was kind of like cheating in a strange way, hooking up with someone else who is not my girlfriend. But it was her, so it was all okay. Everything, was all just perfectly fine, and the name of this episode is Denial.

Four Eyed Monsters - Episode 9 - Shock
[LESS INFO] 1 VIEWS | ADDED 20:46:09 04/27/09
Watch Episode 10 here: http://foureyedmonsters.com/10 Is love an illusion? Is it something we see happening and feel so magical about but then in reality never happened at all? I don't know. The fact that relationships just begin to deteriorate over time causes me to lean towards the idea the love never really existed to begin with beyond our own delusional experience of feeling that it did. If that is the case, why not just chase that wonderful feeling and when you find it try to keep it as long as possible. But there is fear, you know that everything has an end. What can be done to keep it going? There is one way to extend the reality two people create together. And that's to create something together. Whether it's a child or a film or an album, that process will create a greater purpose and a reason to keep working for it to continue and therefor be the glue of the relationship. So what happens when that takes over? When there is only work and no special magical feeling? When the glue stops working. Or your creation together is done. It's all grown up now and ready to be shipped off to the world. Is there anything now holding two people together other then the idea that they are supposed to stay the way they were? Once in love always in love? We shall see. Episode 9 is one of the 13 episodes on our DVD that also has the film we created together and it can be bought at: http://foureyedmonsters.com/dvd Music in this episode: Francois http://kidfrancois.com/ Dixiescumbag http://www.myspace.com/dixiescumbaguk The Golden Pastime http://www.myspace.com/goldenpastime Animation of illustrations by Susan Buice &: http://mermaidsandunicorns.com/ Appearances by: Arin Crumley, Susan Buice & Kyle

Episode 8 The Family Meeting - Four Eyed Monsters
[LESS INFO] 2 VIEWS | ADDED 22:58:54 04/26/09
Watch Episode 9 here: http://foureyedmonsters.com/9 Are emotions fact? I feel there for it is? Well in some ways yes. It is a fact you feel the way you do. But also other people may feel differently or may not have intended for you to feel that way. So leaning on emotions as your navigational guide could be inaccurate. You could feel a certain way that is really all in your head and not real. So maybe people should just keep their feelings to themselves until they pass because they aren't based on reality anyway. But then how are they supposed to cope with the fact they feel so terrible and proactively prevent the triggers from occurring more. A confrontation must occur. At this point it does become real. Something must be said. And now that has been said. And now we really are fighting and now some paranoid mental kink has become 100 percent real. And thus the manifestation of inner demons into the outer real world. As shitty as it is, all the positive things that occur also take a similar path from metaphysical into reality, so it's all just the yin and yang of existence.

Episode 7 - If you give a mouse a cookie
[LESS INFO] 1 VIEWS | ADDED 16:30:13 04/24/09
Watch Episode 8 at: http://foureyedmonsters.com/8 I know this because I'm this way. Give me an inch and I can't help, I'll slowly start to see if it's possible to have a mile. Especially if what I really needed was a mile but I was just to timid. Asking for an inch is just easier then asking for a mile. But nice guys finish last and always trying to be accommodating of others can leave me feeling completely walked on. When I so kindly give that cookie is it anyone's fault but my own that they go in for the kill asking for that glass of milk they really want? So what do I just never be nice? I don't know but a start would be having self respect and stating clearly my own value. We didn't do that in this episode.

Watch Episode 7 at: http://foureyedmonsters.com/7 In life it's good to say yes to everything but in your own way. If something seems like it deserves a no the question is what spin can you put on it to make it a yes. When a new relationship starts I can't help but just say yes to the whole thing. And I just keep adding things to it that make it even more of a Yes. But what about boundaries then? What about things that really deserve a straight up no. What about defining roles and putting people in their place when they step on you? How do you keep saying yes when your starting to be disrespected? This episode is part of our DVD that has all 13 episodes as well as the film that you see us making in this episode called Four Eyed MOnsters. That film is about the entity of a couple. They have 4 eyes, 2 mouths, 8 limbs. Combing the film and the episodes this project ended up being about the birth life and death of our real relationship.

Four Eyed Monsters - Episode 5 - Losers
[LESS INFO] 0 VIEWS | ADDED 12:45:03 04/24/09
This episode is about the beauty and glory of being a loser. It's kind of cool in a way to be a fuck up because it emphasizes that what ever your passion is matters way more then being cool. The only problem is when being a loser creates disasters of epic proportions that then leave you in pain. A loser in pain is really a sad scene. The song in Episode 5 is called "The Day I Dies" by Gingerbread Patriots.
