Always read the directions...

I've been on a shoot in the cold and feeling under the weather, so decided to spring for some of those 'keep the colds away' pills.

So, I get back to the hotel room and call my mother after grocery shopping.

The pills look a little big (vitamin c - orange flavor) but I pop one anyway.

That's when the tablet starts fizzing in my mouth. A disconcerting sensation, to say the least. My conversation becomes muddled as I resemble a pet with rabies, and dig through the trash to find the box.

Apparently, these tablets are to be dropped in a glass of water rather than administered orally. Ooops.

I really have to start reading the directions when I'm tired.

New gig and pics (finally) up!

Hi guys!

I've been away on a couple of shoots with no to limited computer access - hoping to remedy that in a few weeks.

Honestly, not much going on via the writing end - production hours are brutal. I'm trying to force a few hundred words out a night, but I just end up falling asleep with a pen up my nose. (Yes, literally - as my head drops, I seem to have laser accuracy with my left nostril and the cap of the pen.)

I seem to have misplaced my little sketchbook as well, which stinks. More upset about my fat handled mechanical pencil with the squishy bit. Ah well, I expect it will turn up somewhere.

The new work boots I ordered arrived - alas, one size too large. Which amazes me - for being a very small animal, I have banana boat feet. So, I'll return them today and await the proper size.

Links to some fun pictures that I've taken available in the title of this post.

I'm also perusing netbooks - Asus looks like a winner right now. The desktop replacement unit that I already own is just not a practical traveler at 17" and almost 18 pounds. Yikes, right?

Threadless

I know I promised those pictures...I found my camera about an hour ago and am charging the battery as we speak. Yeah, I'm that person.

As a matter of fact, I just misplaced my ph-never mind, its in my lap. Yeah, totally that person.

While designing t-shirt for filmmakeriq.com, I got to thinking that I'd like to try some more creative ones. Don't get me wrong, those tees are going to be totally awesome, snarky, and fun!

They're not pure art though - they're promotion. So I'm going to just play around with stuff and maybe post some designs that don't mean anything on Threadless.

Sometimes, art should just be art, and a t-shirt should just be cool.

Another short...and some other things

I was A/C (Assistant Camera) on a great short for a PBS series this week - though the series isn't slated to air until next year.

I have pictures of that as well, coming soon.

Also, I'm pitching a series or two to a new company that's shooting pilots! Keep your fingers crossed.

I'll have more instructional blogs up next week.
