So, the other day, I'm on the phone with a Producer friend of mine:
PF: Hey, I saw a screening of In The Loop the other day.
Me: Cool. Was it any good? (In my head, I'm going, "What the hell is In The Loop?")
PF: Yeah. I was surprised though at what got cut. Almost none of what we shot is in it.
Me: Oh. That's too bad. (In my head, I'm going, "What we shot? I worked on this?)
PF: Well, it's not so surprising, I guess. From what I hear, the first cut was almost 4 hours long.
I swear to God, I had to go through my old show records to jog my memory. Until I found my notes, I had no idea what this movie might be. (Even the IMDB listing didn't really help since we barely had any of the cast here in NY and they mostly spent their time being filmed in one car while I road around in another.)
For your own reminder, check out my post on Double Dipping from last June. (The pertinent part begins in the fourth paragraph.)
In a way, it's too bad. This looks like a movie I'd really like to have on my resume, but I draw the line at including movies where I spent less than 7 hours on set.

And another thing...
Yesterday a package of kitchen stuff GF ordered arrived and she opened it this morning. Among other things, there was this little colander that's about 6" across the top. (That's a coffee maker in the background for comparison.)
Me: Uh, did we really need another colander?
GF: No. But it's really cute. And it's red. And it was only like four dollars.
Strangely, I can't fault such perfect reasoning.

I'm down to one good colander because the other ones are those mesh ones that food gets trapped in and the other one was plastic and my wife left it too close to the burner and got distracted with whatever book she was reading while she was cooking.
Cute and cheap.
Just the way I like my women.
So early in the day you were wise. Later in the day you became less so.
Interesting.
It is a very nice shade of red. And cute. ;)
