Happy Weekend!
Hi friends. Not much posting this week because of total exhaustion. Days to splits to nights have taken their toll. Only a few weeks left until wrap and vacation. I know a few of you have written to me and recieved no reply and I apologize. I got your emails and will get back to you. Until then, the vampires are out so it'll be a lot of nights til the season winds down. We're reaching that inevitable part of the show where you have to go back and pick up pieces you missed from earlier episodes as you're shooting the current one and chaos reigns (as well as cash). Show premieres tomorrow night and I've already seen the first three episodes. They're pretty good!

We should just mount it in the ceiling and let these two a$$#les walk around under it. Oh come on.! You can do that in a straight line! Yeah, I can get the camera there...IF WE SHOOT THIS ONE SCENE IN SUPER 8. Allright. That's sixteen by three and...THREE FEET AND FIVE AND A HALF INCHES?? for cripes sake can't they just make a room normal sized?... Luckily the carpet's only 3 inches thick so only two layers of plywood should do it...Allright I need six sheets of plyw....no five times four is twenty....Geez where is my mind today...Marconi plays the mamba, listen to the ra...STOP IT!!!where'd I leave the dolly? no you don't need no freaking sideboard...hack...
