When (will) the lights go down...?

So we went to the JOURNEY concert. Saw the new guy. Man they love Journey out here. People were swaying with their arms around each other. 

My favorite song : Ask the Lonely. 
My least favorite song: One of the new ones. Don't know the name, all I know is that during it, a spotlight was shone down the aisle right in my face.  

The light was on me for what seemed like an eternity. On top of that I wasn't very comfortable being in a spotlight in the middle of a sold-out Blaisdell Arena. I just kept thinking to myself, "when is this song going to end and the lights go back to normal"

JOURNEY was shining lights on the audience a lot this show. Way more than any other concert I've been to. 

Dear JOURNEY,

Don't do that. We came to see you, not each other. And we can't do either when you blind us.

Sincerely, 
The Audience

There's a sweat rag with you name on it.

When I was working on the finale I had to shoot in a moving vehicle. And so the woman who was working makeup at the time, gave me a folded paper towel to put in my pocket and dab the sweat between takes. Afterward I looked at the towel and noticed that she had written my name on it. Wouldn't this make my forehead dirty? 
Why was she trying to keep all of our sweats organized? 
Can you clone someone from their sweat?

Thank You SciFi Rewind

I finally got to watch my BSG finale. And my DVR cut off early. Luckily I could go to the website and get the closure I needed.. 

Bath Time!

Just like in the olden days I take a bath about once a month.
(Unlike the olden days I take a shower pretty much daily.)

And now that we have water pressure again I can finally use the tub 
and test out my Milk and Cookeez cupcake. 

It's a two parter. The bottom or "cake" is like a huge alka seltzer tab of good smellin' bath stuff.
And the top or "frosting" is soap. It's fun and smells awesome. The soap even kinda tastes sweet. BUT DON'T TASTE IT. It takes a turn after the initial lick. 

This is definitely soap.

Splatter Cakes

So I was tooling around my local Whole Foods, when I came across something so odd I had to take a picture of it.
It's pancake batter in a whipped cream can. I couldn't believe it. And it's "organic" no less. 
I ended up buying it. I wasn't sure yet if I was going to use it or just take it out periodically to show to people. 
Well in name of research one morning I decided to give it a try. 
I squirted my first pancake in the pan. 
Understandably because the can is pumped with air you will get an "airier" pancake. And by "airier" I mean "holier." And by "holier" I mean full of holes, not closer to heaven.
Okay it turned out alright but I figured making spray pancakes would allow for more adventurous shapes. 

So my second pancake had a little more flair. 
It's kind of a starfish. In the world of pancakes, if you start with a star you'll end up with a starfish. 

I liked my third one but it was a bitch to flip. 
BTW when it comes to pancakes, I'd pick jam over syrup every time. 

How did they taste you ask? Well... they were fun to cook. 

Somehow they just didn't taste "organic" to me.

Spoke too soon

Just got word that I have to shoot some pick-ups next week. 

Another Season Over

Well, assuming that yesterday's work was completed and the dailies look alright, we have closed the books on another season of LOST.
I still can't shave for about a week just in case. 

Earlier this year I shot my DVD interview for the season as well. 
It's cool because it's the first time you can actually talk about stuff that hasn't aired yet, even though you don't know how the season will end.
In fact I still don't. There are still some holes in the story that I haven't been filled in on.
