Still can't believe it.
I got a little story to tell you, but I gotta be careful, since it relates to work. Although, I'm very careful about telling too much, or saying anything bad about coworkers. People get fired over their blogs, you know. Case in point: The Sarcastic Journalist - fired recently for telling way too much in her blog. So the following story is heavily edited.
Today my reporter and I went to the house of a home invasion. I was there the night before taking shots of the crime tape. Today we did the follow-up story. Some masked guys barged in a house, there was a scuffle, and the resident got shot. Today we learned that the guys that broke in thought it was a drug house or something. We went to the house, did an interview with the home owner, and then (amazingly) she showed us her marijuana grow operation in the basement (they have it for medicinal purposes). It's hard enough to get people to talk on camera, so going into the basement to check out the marijuana plants is pretty much off the map. So we went downstairs and took photos of the pot. And, while I suspect there was more, we saw plenty of stuff. [pop-up video link] There was more that I was allowed to shoot, but didn't have the space to put in the story (including a soundbite where she wanted us to tell everyone to, "smoke more weed!"). It's only Monday and the week is already getting weird - I love it. [And yes, I noticed the date today, dirty hippies.]
Links Du Jour:
I'm still not sure if he's a spambot, but this nice, robot-loving guy emailed me to tell me
about his t-shirts for sale.
Client remixes are available for around $1.85 each. My favorite song of last year: Rock-n-Roll Machine. I still listen to it over-and-over every day.
I have well over 30 Depeche Mode tribute albums, and somehow I missed this one.
Was surfing and noticed that Hemingway's short film, "GoodBye Mr. Feingold" (that I wrote) is still on I-film.

I am doing an insane relaunch of LLR at the end of the month. I'm looking for two things: 1) someone that has Cleaner XL, and/or can help me stream some high quality/low badwidth short films. 2) Maybe, someone who I can commission for a comic book-like-robot-related-color-cartoon.
