I absolutely hate it when she sleeps on the DVD player. Besides the fact that I think it’s not very good for the DVD player, I’m afraid that she’s going to get some kind of strange disease from it – you know, like cell phone brain cancer except it would be DVD player cat ass [...]
There seemed to be a rash of assholeism going around Los Angeles today, and it’s a shame because the day was absolutely stunning. It rained last night, and the winds have been blowing these amazing puffy clouds across the sky all day. When the winds blow from the direction of the ocean, the air becomes [...]
So today, we’re on a stage and are in the same lighting set-up all day (some dude, talking about something I don’t care about while standing in front of a white cyc. We won’t have much to do until it’s time to wrap, and we’ll be here late because he keeps. blowing. his. fucking. lines.), [...]
I rode around Hollywood today, and shot some photos of the pre-Oscar carnage that is the closed streets, traffic snarls and police searches that make up awards show weekend in Hollywood.
The photos can be seen on the extra wonderful site LAist:

I’ve got to get to bed early. I have a 5 am call tomorrow.
Yesterday, I was back on the comedian’s show – I had to get up at 4 am so I could get my stuff together and suck down enough caffeine to be coherent when I got to work at 5:30 for a 6 am call , as we didn’t have a rig day and had to [...]
By popular demand of the commenters, Sheila (www.getsheila.com ) wins the CD, mainly because she’s trapped doing other people’s taxes and is probably banging her head against the wall right now and hey, why not bang your head to the dulcet tones of Corey Feldman and his swingin’ orchestra? Sheila, email me (randomblogmail at yahoo [...]
It’s the W-2* (tax year 2006) contest!
How many do you have? I’ve got 25.
The person with the most will win a Corey Feldman CD** (if I can find it)!
* For those of you outside the US, a W-2 is a tax form that we get at the end of the year. We get one [...]
Friday, I was back on the comedian’s* show (shooting the sketches that air between the live bits, I guess. I don’t ask too many questions. I just show up and do what I’m told).
My call time was 6:30 am as I came in with first unit, who were shooting day exteriors with no lights, but [...]
After working all day on wraparounds* for a stand-up comedian’s TV show (where we didn’t have a real generator – just a 60 amp ‘putt-putt’ which wasn’t enough to run all the lights we had so my entire day was spent running around trying like crazy to find house power), I changed clothes in [...]
Time and time again, this happens. You’d think I’d have learned something by now, but no.
The wrap party for Homicidal Hamburglar is tomorrow night, and I’d planned to go get my hair done so I’d look, well, not hot but at least not totally wrung out (damn those grey roots).
I begged and cried to [...]
