| 2006 01 07 - Shampoo My Crotch I've been getting a few emails asking what I've been up to lately as I haven't been writing in my journal as of late. To save myself the extra work of sending everyone back an individual email I opted to insert a quick journal in it's place. Here goes... This past week has been quite insane for me. I had a shoot on Monday with Susan Moody, a video interview for a documentary I'll be in on Tuesday, I had to wash my hair Wednesday, shoot an alien music video during which I seriously injured my knee on Thursday and lastly on Friday shoot a Playboy model and meet with the editor of a magazine while limping.  Not that I think it needs to be said but that's the alien pictured above Add to all of that the fact I have had on average 4 hours sleep per night and you get a sense of my headspace right now. It's a strange feeling sitting at the computer too exhausted to edit images but too excited to be able to get any sleep. I find when I lay down I can't stop thinking about all the work that still needs to get done. So. Today is Saturday and I am going to go to my mom's house for a little home cooking and a long needed break from work. The plus side to all of this is I have tones of great stuff to share in the next upcoming days. ***** On a totally unrelated subject; The other day I was in a coffee shop line up and the people in front of me were talking in metaphors. Because of this I started giggling uncontrollably. They stopped talking and looked at me. I couldn't take it... I ran out of the place laughing. You see, this reminded me of the movie, "As Good As It Gets". In the movie Jack Nicholson stands at a table in a restaurant listening to a couple talking. When asked what he's doing he quite calmly but rudely states,"People who talk in metaphors should shampoo my crotch". I laughed so loud in the movie theatre, people shhhhh-ed me. The whole time the people in front of me were talking I was thinking, "That's right keep talking, I'm going to expect a good lather". |
