Congratulations, Paul Hewson, Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire. Couldn’t happen to a nicer rock star.
28.03.07shuffle up and deal
Hi. I don’t post much when I’m busy. Sorry. I’m glad you still swing through to visit, though. I do try to keep you entertained when I can wedge out a few minutes. Production on my show wraps up this week, or next… I forget… and then I’ll be sort of unemployed. Working in this [...]
20.03.07information superhighway 2.0?
You might remember the cookie cutter neighbourhood featured in Edward Scissorhands, with all the men leaving their identical houses and getting into their identical cars for their identical commute to identical jobs, leaving behind, well, desperate housewives.

Danny Trejo, whom you might remember from such movies as Heat, Con Air, the Dusk Til Dawn trilogy, and the upcoming Sin City 2, features in episodes 19 & 20 of Blood Ties. He’s not tall, but he is broad. Built, even. And a very nice guy. First pic taken by me in very low [...]

I have to be on set at 6am in the morning. That’s after the one hour drive. This post, therefore, is short. G’night!
04.03.07moonlight plus
It takes a lot of illuminating firepower to make a moonlit night look like a moonlit night. Four of these batteries surrounded a field Thursday night so our heroes could make some gruesome and bizarre plot-furthering discoveries. Stay tuned for episode 18, “Drawn and Quartered”. I sleep a lot on weekends now.
