It’s not a secret that I don’t like Piña Colada (too sweet, and we all know what happens when one indulges in sweet stuff that also happens to be alcoholic), and after today, I can say for certain that I don’t much like getting caught in the rain, either.
Since I’m not going to get any [...]

Got Him!

The Bait:

The Video:

He’s not super happy about the camera, and I wasn’t fast enough to pan over and catch him start to climb up on my lap.
This was taken Thursday, when I was back at Disney to tear out the party rig (and part of the rig from the shoot). [...]

Very early morning calls are tough – it’s not just the getting up when it’s still dark (and cold), but any time my alarm is set to go off before 5 am, I get freaked about sleeping through the buzzer and wake up with a start every couple of hours, convinced that I’ve overslept. In [...]

For quite some time, I’ve been “borrowing” high speed wireless from the school across the street from my house. The school didn’t seem to mind, and I was finally able to tell PacBell to get the hell out of my life (and boy, did it feel good).

Taken inside a facade on Warner’s New York Street.

Although I didn’t expect to work at all in December, I’ll end up getting three days this week.Tuesday night, I got a call to work on second unit shoots for a TV show*. My call was 11 am at Warner Brothers in Burbank.
I don’t work on the Warner Brothers lot very often, and in [...]

Welcome!

Welcome to WordPress! For the time being, I’m going to post over here, due to some problems with Blogger – I’ve not completely abandoned the old blog, as I’m trying to figure out the best way to transition smoothly and not lose too many readers.
I’m still playing around with templates, so feel free to make [...]

Thanks for all the supportive comments! Following some excellent suggestions, I may make a change – I’ll keep writing, but it’s looking like I’m going to move over to WordPress – I’m having issues with Blogger, and the evil corporate overlords at Google don’t seem to be interested in customer service these days.
