Your morning photos

I know nothing about golf, but the golfer seems to know what he's doing. Is 81 good?

This right here is why I'd like to spend a day on a professional TV (or movie) set. Just to see how things are done in "the real world." (Long story.)

In other news, I have a long skit/short play I need to learn in about two weeks. Once again, my shaky confidence will be looking at Jensen (or thinking back to The Threepenny Opera) and going "This is how it's supposed to be done." More on that in a separate post.

81 means someone's been putting some hours on the golf course!! A good score! My husband would be very happy to shoot that.

Excellent! I seem to recall something about Jensen wanting to shoot an 80 (maybe?), so it would seem he's approaching his goal.

My husband only played "real" golf once, at a charity benefit of some sort for work. Afterward he said he will only golf if there's a big clown head on the course. (My internal response--which might have become external--was, "You mean besides you?")

(Geo loves putt-putt, but hates real golf.)

Oh, finally the explanation!

Cool pics! Now we know what Jensen's been doing with (part of) his summer vacation.

Being on-set is definitely a learning experience! My first visit was to the M*A*S*H set back in '77 - it was a scene of choppers landing nearby, so the cast had to run to meet them and do triage. BUT...we were indoors, where they'd laid dirt on top of plywood to simulate the outdoors. And when everyone ran in their heavy boots, the sound man said it came out like thunder on the soundtrack. In the final take, everyone ran in their socks. :)

Several years ago (2004, iirc), Geo and I worked on a local independent film that Geo co-wrote, co-directed, and co-starred in. I was the wardrobe crew. It was an educational experience, made under less than ideal conditions, with a crew that was made up of some students, some industrial vid professionals, and the organization of which was a little iffy at the exec producer level. There were days (actually, nights, since it was a lot of night shoots) when I told my costumer, "Just so you know, I want to walk out right now." And she'd look panicked, and I'd tell her, "I'm not going to. I just need to verbalize that I want to."

After a particularly trying day, I asked Geo, "If I can survive working on this, I could survive on a real movie set, right?" His response: "Absolutely."

Shortly after the shoot was finished and things got back to normal, I was watching some of the bts/table read stuff for XF (on the DVD extras). Kim Manners, of course, being an important presence. I turned to Geo and told him, "Watching this makes me want to work on a set where everyone knows what they're doing."

Aw. :)

Also, ooo, another play! You must keep me apprised of how that goes!

Sorry, I only putt-putt myself - but I did win a $25 gift card from a local grocery by doing it. :)

I couldn't help but chuckle at that shot because of this -


Break a leg with the play!

I've never heard the story from Samantha!

You've probably seen the guys tell the story (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCqdyIC_OmI&feature=related), though, yeah? (Gun talk starts at 4:41. AAH antics start at 5:30.
