My goodness, it has been far too long, hasn’t it? Please forgive my lack of posts, I really don’t have much of an excuse.
BUT! Here I am, back in Los Angeles after 3 months on location with “The Day the Earth Stood Still” in Vancouver. All in all, Vancouver is a great town that I recommend anyone visit. Being away from home was a bit lonely, but I couldn’t have picked a nicer place to do it in.
I was especially excited to kick off my return to LA with a Dodger game at the Colliseum. As you can see in the photo above, there were more than a couple of people there. 115,000, to be exact. It was an exposition game celebrating the Dodgers 50th year in LA and they were playing my beloved Red Sox (who won) so I was happy.
Other than enjoying the beginning of baseball season, I’ve just been trying to get back into the groove of LA, especially the oh so delightful traffic. We’re cutting the movie on the Fox lot, so I’ve got one hell of a commute to deal with. But our offices aren’t half bad, and there’s sushi in the commissary on Thursdays. Yum.
A few links and so forth until I have a real reason to post:
•The Story of Stuff is worth watching, all 20 minutes of it. Nothing that I didn’t already know, but a fun and engaging way of talking about consumption.
•I’ve become a Scrabulous nut on Facebook. If you’re on there, friend request me and lets play!
•I haven’t made a Muxtape yet, but there’s a good chance it’ll happen in my not so distant future. *Update*: okay, now I have. Here’s my spot on Muxtape.
•I’m still obsessively following the election. I’m anxious for the primary to be over soon and for Obama to finally be able to buckle down and work on winning this whole thing. I’m getting my political fix in different places these days:
- I never thought the day would come that I would agree with the majority of what Andrew Sullivan has to say, but apparently that day came and went a few months back. His blog is well worth reading.
- I’m also found trolling the Huffington Post quite often.
- Lastly, I’m glad to be back home so I can Tivo the Daily Show and see Jon Stewart’s take on things. The show runs in Vancouver, but I didn’t have Tivo so I never caught it. I’ve learned first hand what I always suspected: once you have a DVR, there’s no going back.
