How many people out there have actually worked a fifteen hour day? Granted, there are far worse places to spend 15 hours than a production set. We’re well-fed and nobody hardly ever gets whipped. Depending on the script. Still, two hours in my car commuting plus the fifteen actually on the clock… it’s really no [...]

It rained for over 17 hours today. I would know. I was in it.
18.02.07ooooo what a late night
Have to be an hour’s drive away by 7am Monday morning. Probably another 15 hour day on set- although I believe we’re shooting outside so I’m sure that changes things. Never been on an outside set all day before. Maybe there will be adventuresome stories for you. Meanwhile, it’s 10:30 and already way past my [...]
17.02.07the engineer and the horse’s ass
Yoinked from Judd’s blog, originally from out there somewhere… In the United States the distance between the railway rails is 4 feet, 8-1/2 inches; That’s a very odd number I hear you say. Why was that gauge used? Because that’s the way they built them in England, and the US railroads were built by English [...]
15.02.07slam dunk, bitchass
Granted, the article over at TreeHugger may be dripping with a certain taint of editorializing, but find me a news article that isn’t, these days. Evidently we may have a fun ride over the next two months as Dion and Ignatief move to force Canada back in line with Kyoto, and Harper doesn’t even show [...]
15.02.07a dignified zoom zoom
If I were a more mystical kinda fellow I would attach significance to the fact I’m leasing a car called “3″. 3 has been the numero de vie pour moi. It shows up everywhere. But, truth be told, it didn’t occur to me until this very moment. So, maybe it is, maybe it isn’t, but [...]
14.02.07working the P.A.
The peaceful medieval village of Back Lot. Yesterday I worked. It’s been a while. I took January off to develop some directions in photography and I would say I had medium success. Now it’s time to get back to paying bills. A hookup with a friend led me, with the contingent acquisition of my new [...]
12.02.07I need your help
Don’t underestimate this cry for assistance! I’m talking to you! And by you I mean everyone. Which means you. You! I have a new phone. This one does not have a broken screen, which means: – I can read and even send text messages. – I can access and even use my contacts. I cannot, [...]
10.02.07new toy
I’ve been biding my time, waiting for an opportunity to go shoot some frames of the real-life new toy but other stuff keeps getting in the way. So here: Had to have wheels for the new job, and to be an actual professional photographer, so here it is. Our own dignified little zoomzoom. And yes [...]

Hold your horses. I’m working on a thing.
