All of my Pants have Holes in the Pockets

Well my wardrobe pants do anyway.

See it's all for sound.

I usually wear a microphone when I'm shooting a scene. The wire for this microphone is run under my clothes. 

Here let me show you with this diagram of what it looks like under my shirt. 

Okay now sometimes they tape the mic to my chest. 

This is never a good idea in my opinion. See, I'm a sweater. As in, I sweat. And whether you work indoors (where you can't have the air conditioning on because of the noise) or in the jungle (where the humidity never stops) sweat will pour. I've said it before, but I often start shooting a scene with fake sweat sprayed on my forehead but by the end of it, it's all real. So if you stick a piece of tape on my chest, it will come off. However the tape down by my belly button will not. In fact I'll be scrubbing the sticky goop stuck to my gut for days.

Another option is to "put a bug in my hair" which takes a team to do. 

First the hair department will clip it into the hair over my ear with wig clips. Then wardrobe will help me anchor the wire with some slack to the top of my shirt so the wire doesn't pull my hair when I turn my head in the scene. Finally sound will run the wire down my back and around to the pocket. 

Oh yes the pocket. (This blog IS about my pockets.)

So you can't just run the wire under your shirt and stick it in your pocket because the wire will tend to poke out the bottom. So instead you shove the wire down your pants and then run it into your pocket from the inside. Thanks to a little hole cut in the pocket by sound. 

So all of my pants have holes in the pockets. 

Consumer Test Results: Topsy Turvy

Okay I know I said I was going to wait for the fruit before I made my decision on the Topsy Turvy.

But look at this picture from my earlier blog.

Notice my "control" group. Those are the pots lined up against the wall. You can barely make out the plants poking up over the edges. 

But look at them now.

Some are almost as tall as the ceiling. 

And they're even blooming. 

Now look at the Topsy Turvy plants today. 

They've definitely grown. 

Kinda.

But I have to admit...

These are some of the sorriest tomato plants I've ever seen. 

So why am I even bothering with Topsy Turvy?

Well I'm not anymore. 

And neither should you.

I have finally found the chair.

to go with my new desktop.

Thank you, problem solved.

I knew it was something simple that I was just somehow missing.

Maybe you can help me.

I've been trying to go through the itunes help pages as well as other help discussions online to figure out this problem. It has to be something I'm missing. But this is my problem:

When I'm in itunes checking out the podcasts I've downloaded, I click this icon to get more of the description. 

This window pops up. And I get it. So far so good.

Now, how do I close this window? 

There is no button on it for me to push and when I go to something else, even if it has no description, that damn window stays right in front of everything I'm doing until I quit itunes completely. 

There has to be a way to close the window right?

A little help here?

Happy Thanksgiving Everybody

I must say, I made a pretty mean pumpkin pie.

Sorry Noon.

None for you.

Ok maybe a little.

Hello my name is KUBRICK

Yes! My Kubricks are here.

This Bearbrick is pretty sweet. 

He's among friends.

I'm pretty excited about these toys.

Now we're in the annals along with Planet of the Apes and the Sex Pistols.

And they make a nice display. 

I just have one question about the packaging:

Why is the Hurley silhouette holding hands with the Sayid silhouette?
