I’m back from L.A. and I thought I would present you with a brief summary of my trip:
I worked. A lot. Practically nonstop.
One shoot day was a 17 hour day. To break it down, I left for work at 4:00 a.m. and returned home at 10:00 p.m.. My host took one look at my [...]
I’m leaving this cold, blustery town and heading West. Yes folks, I’m off to LA for business and play – I just love it when those two things come together! I’m going to work, see friends, shmooze, and probably like I would miss it have a piece of cake.
Behave your fine selves and I’ll see [...]
Things I NEVER get tired of hearing:
I Love You.
You do great work.
Have you lost weight?
Oh Baby, you’re the best.
You make me really happy.
You look hot.
I washed the dishes and cleaned the kitchen. Why don’t you just relax and watch TV?
This job will pay double your rate.
Let’s hear a few of yours!
Tuesday, September 12th, I got on the subway and headed to work. I walked down a flight of stairs, into the station, and pushed my way on to a crowded train. Once I got to my destination, I had to change subway lines so I walked even further underground. I saw a street musician playing [...]
It’s Saturday, it’s raining, and I have no desire to do anything. Nada. Bupkes. NOTHING. It’s been a crazy busy work week, and next week promises more of the same. It’s a good gig and I am enjoying it, but I’m working so hard that even my brain is tired.
But if I want clean clothes, [...]
Let’s see, what shall I write about? Hilary Clinton running for president? The effects of global warming on the atmosphere? Why microwave popcorn that is low fat, low sodium, with no trans fats tastes like corrugated cardboard?
Not so much.
Hmmmm.
Well, I’m insanely busy at work so I won’t be around as much. I’ll miss you guys [...]
Fade up to reveal:
Lisa B. sitting in a huge auditorium, surrounded by a bunch of jaded, know-it-all college freshmen her peers.
In my very first film class on my very first day, the professor said, “if you ever want to watch a movie for pure enjoyment again, LEAVE NOW.”
We laughed but boy was he was right. [...]

Quick learner
Stupid need not apply. We already have the boss’s son in that position.

We’re going to work you until you drop. Sweatshop labor is better paid.
Coordinate meal orders
Your the yutz who gets to go to Taco Bell. Daily. And Starbucks. Hourly.
Able to work under pressure
Your [...]
Once again I’m revisiting a post from last summer. It’s freaking hot outside, so sue me. Enjoy!
I LOVE Westerns. I have ever since I was a little girl. I used to watch them with my father for hours on end. My favorites are “Red River,” “The Searchers,” and “The Cowboys.” Needless to say I [...]
Like many other little girls, I had a Barbie doll.
She was of course blonde with those unnatural, scary measurements.
Designed by a man I’m sure. Why are so many of my childhood memories dictated by clueless men? Another post for another time. Anyway, I never had a Ken, I thought he was a total wuss. He [...]
