Work has slowed down, finally. It always happens in the summer – this time of year, I’m lucky if I get one day a week. When I called the union to register as being out of work, our call steward said “you and everyone else all of a sudden”. So, I’m stuck having to do [...]
I’ve just gotten back from an impromptu trip to Vegas with The Blonde for her ‘friend’s’ (nudge nudge, wink wink) birthday. He said we could crash in his hotel suite, but it turned out that there were about 5 other guys there, and a couple of bimbos that he’d picked up somewhere on the strip..
Eeew.
We [...]
Once again I’m posting from an internet cafe, drinking weak coffee and listening to bad rap while I type (There is good rap. They just don’t play it here).
Friday night was fun – James Beach was packed! It’s a nice room, although I wasn’t really impressed with the food. It was the birthday party of [...]
I’m posting this from an internet cafe, as whatever company Pacific Bell became has decided that DSL lines don’t really need maintenance on the weekends, after all – I probably won’t have access until Monday, or that’s what the customer service rep said.
I’m used to having one of those fancy ergonomic keyboards, and I can [...]
Call today was 8 am (1+ hour in traffic to Sony), and we had a stage move (moving from one stage to the other) right at our call time. First Unit set lighting came in on a ‘pre-call’(you get a pre call when you’ve got to do something that will take extra time before shooing [...]
Six am call at Sony – Still on the same show (my boss told me I’m on through Friday, which is good. I like the shorter days – although there’s not as much overtime, it’s nice for now to have a life after work.
Tomorrow the shooting crew are using “Joan Of Arcadia”’s sets (we’re shooting [...]
Just got the lab reports back, and the good news is that I don’t have Rheumatoid Arthritis or Gout (although the latter would have been a good opportunity to practice my Bobby Hill impression).
The bad news is that the Sony affiliated doctor has no idea what’s wrong with my toe, so I’m to go [...]
There’s a post on LAist today about someone who’s had a film crew in her neighborhood and is unhappy about it:

Having a production in your neighborhood can be horrible, I’ll agree.
What I do not agree with is blaming the crews for this. This person’s post (and one of the comments) talks about how arrogant [...]
I actually do post just about every day, I just don’t publish every day..
When I get home from work, I’m totally wrecked and can’t think, so I write these Rosie O Donnellish haikus and then collapse into bed.
Because I’m vain and if I’m going to publish a blog, it may as well be halfway coherent, [...]
I’m used to getting up at 5, but for some reason that alarm going off 4 am just kills me. Maybe it’s the knowledge that there’s not an overpriced coffee joint open yet, but I have a terrible time getting out of bed, and if I don’t gather all my stuff the night before, [...]
