last day
Sweeps is coming to a close, and I'm still keepin' on. Actually, I only had one sweeps feature - involving me riding around with cops while they bust people for selling booze to minors.
I basically sat in back of a panel van and shot through a dark tinted window, through sunlight, and then through tinted windows into artificially lit convenience stores. How do you find a white balance for that? Well, I just guessed - and sometimes I guessed green.

Tyler who?
Last night, Marla and I were sent to a book signing for Greenville-guy-turned-celebrity-chef, Tyler Florence.
The female to male ratio in the building was 300 x 1, and there were three guys there - but one was Tyler, so he didn't count. [do the math, there will be a quiz at the end of this post]. Basically, I learned that "chicks dig chefs" and 'TV celebrity chefs' are the new 'TV celebrity home renovation hosts'. Did that make sense?
He was a cool guy, although we had a moment during our interview, where he said something like, "I don't want to talk to you right now." and it freaked us out. So we both kinda stood there in front of him for a few minutes, while he signed autographs, wondering if we should keep bothering him. Then we carefully proceeded to interview him again - which went well. After checking the tape, it turns out he just didn't like that particular question. I think. I'm still not sure.

Actually, the subtitle is, "Television is furniture." FTOJRLST got a nifty t-shirt bearing that slogan, so he encouraged us to all talk about the furniture we each most identify with. While, this is not directy industry related, it does give you insight into the fragile, scarred psyche of a television news photographer.
I spend to much time on my computer, but the computer is not considered furniture. So, I guess that I would identify with virtual furniture, much like the items in my Everquest 2 apartment. [see illustration below]
Here's the usual suspects: smitty, tv photog blog, newshutr's views, beFrank, kazz's world, little lost robot, erin winking, lenslinger, colonel corn.

random links:
1. I finally found someone who hates the Desperate Housewives narrator as much as me.
2. That's hot. Paris Hilton's Carl's Jr commercial debuted this week. We don't have Carl's Jr here, so we're getting a Hardee's version of the ad later next month. If the commercial is representative of the restaurant chain, then the Hardee's ones should be even skankier, in my opinion.
3. Some dumbasses make gasoline fueled lightsabers and severely burn themselves. Someone should take all these retarded video clips and make a Jedi-Jackass themed show.
That's all for now.

Yo it's Hu.
MAD TV did a skit about Desperate Housewives earlier in the year, making fun of Brenda Strong's annoying narration. Maybe you can find it online and download it.. it was effing heeelarious.
Great Post LLR. Thanks for chiming in with the Furniture thing.
Eewww!!! Love what you've done w/ the place! Chewy, wow!! You got to spy in a cop van-cool... Hey, I've had you linked to my blog since day one. thought I'de stop & say 'hi'
tsk, sorry I meant to sign my name for the above comment-
I did a story with Tyler Florence once, with Enright. Tyler was kind of a jerk. He expected us to know who he was and all, and when we didn't...he was kind of humbled. The story was good, though.
