Just because I didn’t want to leave you with a shitty post over the weekend, here’s some eye candy for the ladies (and some of the gents, too):
This was last night at the book release party for Taschen’s new coffee table book about penis. Yes, that’s right – an overpriced ‘art’ book about wang.
Since I [...]
Some things are better in the summer – the beach, outdoor barbecues, swimming pools, street fairs, fresh produce.
But one thing that’s decidedly not better in the summer is running cable in a downtown LA alley that doubles as a de facto relief station for the area.
Although the temptation is to blame the mess on the [...]
Summer has officially arrived Los Angeles – early last week the temperatures were in the 70’s, later in the week they were in the 90’s, and over the weekend they broke the triple digit barrier – although today it’s cooled off to a relatively brisk 90.
One of the advantages of living in a place that [...]
Monday, I was working the shooting set, so I showed up early, dosed up on free coffee, and then stood in the air conditioning (the stage was so cold I needed a sweater to keep from shivering) and walked lights around at the gaffer’s direction. The set was a slow one – hard to [...]
Didn’t I, a while back, complain about not working enough?
Feast or famine, I guess.
Friday, I called in to the union hoping to get something for Monday, and instead got a job for that very night – good, but bad because I’d been up all day and wouldn’t have been safe on an all-nighter.
When I got [...]
The last bit of our overcast cool mornings (aka “June Gloom”).
This is taken from the roof of Stage 12 at Culver Studios looking northeast towards Century City.
Also, I have discovered that my homegrown tomatoes are the key to instant popularity since this whole salmonella thing started. I brought some to work to eat with breakfast [...]
Today’s work was a continuation of yesterday’s work – rigging a set that’s scheduled to be shot tomorrow.
When we came in yesterday, there was no way for us to hang lights. No greenbeds over the sets at all, and only a partial pipe grid left over from another set which hadn’t been pulled down.
Production had [...]
I hate turning down work from best boys who call me regularly. What’s happened to me more than once is that said best boy decides that since I’m never available, he (or she) just isn’t going to bother even trying anymore.
This is a total burn as by the time I’m off whatever I was on [...]
Normally, showing up to work late is a terrible thing in the film industry. The saying goes “15 minutes early is on time, right at call is late” (and much after call time without a really good reason means no more work calls from that show), but sometimes one gets a last minute call and [...]
Today’s media freakout seems to be about the big fire on the Universal backlot.
The fire started in the New York Street facades, but no one on our local news seems to be explaining what a facade is or why they burn so well. I bet they’re not explaining it on your local news, either.
Basically, they’re [...]
