While on the set filming The Mist, I fell in love with the MP's helmet. I took out the moustache that I made a couple weeks back, and a photo op was born. We came up with several other meanings for "MP" (Master Partier being one of my favorites) and had the crew add their own (two of which are too dirty to post here).

This was my first time as the Key Set Costumer, in which I had to put my arm into John Goodman's sweaty Santa coat sleeves to turn them inside out so they could air out and dry, so I would really appreciate it if you tuned in, or at least Tivoed it.

I went to PetSmart yesterday to get some dewormer for Cat & Arlo. While I was there, I saw this grass, and bought some for Arlo, who always eats my house plants. When I put them next to the cat food, he sat about 2 feet away and watched me for about 15 minutes. Finally he came up and started sniffing it.

I suppose it was a good move on my part to see it alone the first time. The crying, and then me bragging to all my friends about how I worked on the movie and then my name isn't in the end credits.
