Day 292 — The Masked Tripper

[for Friday, Oct. 19] (Why do I suddenly feel like John Ritter really missed a career opportunity here?) The movie people weren’t all up in the newsroom yesterday like they were Thursday. Which was a relief for my workplace ADD. Instead, they were all up in the editor’s office filming Angela Bassett-as-editor scenes.

I’m thinking of doing a duo or trio of pumpkins. Jack…

Day 285 — Windowsill

[for Friday, Oct. 12] Let’s just say I’ve got a little bit of camera fatigue. Which is real crappy since tomorrow (Sunday) I’ll return my dad’s zoom lens to him. Project 365
