Blog Loser

No. I haven't been in prison...and as a matter of fact, I have plate full of work to achieve this afternoon and evening, but I couldn't bear neglecting my three readers for another two months.
Yes, it has been almost two months since my last post, which qualifies me as a blog loser. What can I say?


What have I been up to, you ask? At the top of my list, I've been enjoying the debacle of a football season that Notre Dame has put on the field in 2007. Because Charlie Weiss worked for Bill Belichick, I don't like him...and to see Navy take down the Irish - that was special. To be honest, I could care less about their season, but in the event that any fans are reading, I just wanted to remind them how terrible their team is.

While on the topic of football, I have been pumping out some content for football.com. You can now link my exclusive archives by checking out my analyst page. And yes, you can ignore my Big XII picks. Kansas? Kansas? If they go 10-0 today...well, I don't know what I'll do. Smile, I suppose. I'm just thrilled to know that I'll be in Missouri for the MU v. KU game on 11/24.
So...really...what have I been up to?


I was in Kentucky last month for a couple weeks, shooting 8 days of location stuff for Wid Winner and The Slipstream. If you don't know what that is, where have YOU been? Remember, I originally thought we'd be shooting in late August, but it was ridiculously hot and dry, so we postponed. Anyway, it's a fantastic little indie, written & directed by a dude rocking the title of Alex O. Gaynor.

It wasn't written to take place in the rain (because it's flippin' expensive to MAKE rain), but the rain came while we were in Kentucky...the cold came while we were in Kentucky...the exhaustion came...while we were in Kentucky. And it was the most amazing filming experience I've ever had the pleasure of participating. We shot through the rain, and by doing so, probably added a dimension to the film that we never expected, nor originally intended. Kudos to Alex for having the balls to do so...

We have several more days left to shoot before this little puzzle can be pieced together, tweaked, ADR'd, sound designed, scored, etc. And who knows what it'll become by the time all is said and done.

Here's a little photo. It's a bit blurry, but it captures one of the few moments that the rain wasn't falling.

Time to play a little football.
