Happy Birthday to Kate and a Warning to the Eye.


Oh ok...so her birthday is not until November, but I decided to get her a gift early. We are gonna head back to England on November 1st until November 13. It, once again, is very nice to have a trip on the horizon as I think Kate has caught a case of the wanderlust again. Although the weather might be shite in England in November, it will be great to see the famous "Bonfire Night" in Cambridge as well as the London Eye on Kate's Birthday. DO YOU HEAR ME LONDON EYE??? WE ARE COMING ON NOVEMBER 6TH SO YOU BEST BE OPEN IF YOU KNOW WHAT IS GOOD FOR YOU!!!

We have 15 more episodes of Call For Help to shoot this week. Man it always seems so daunting at the beginning of the week, but somehow we manage to get them all done...uh touch wood. Then next week I am off the San Francisco for Vloggercon and we will be shooting 2 episodes of Torrent. I have always wanted to go to San Fran but I have a feeling I won't get to see a whole lot of it with our shooting schedule so I will have to go back with Kate to see the sites...perhaps a 28th Birthday present!

ahhhhh the long weekend.


Thank god the long weekend is here. It has been (once again) quite a while since I last posted, no so much because I don't enjoy posting it is just that there is little time anymore. Things at home are great, Kate and I are both gonna lay on the couch tonight, relax and watch some of The Office (speaking of The Office, Kate bought me a wicked David Brent T-shirt which I love and is what my picture is a homage to). It has been a while and I think we have both earned it. Once again my lovely Kate, I am sure Tuesday morning will come waaaaay to quickly, but I am really looking forward to all the funny moments we have together this weekend.
I got to shoot another 2 episodes of Lab Rats this week. I had not helped Sean and Andy for a few months because unfortunately it had got to a point where I didn't enjoy doing it anymore and I had decided to step away for a bit. I am glad I went on Wednesday and completed shows 27 & 28 as well I had a good chat with the guys. I am gonna help out from now on every so often when I get time in a directing role. Guys like Andy and Sean don't so much need a producer (because they know the content like the back of their hands) but someone to direct, light, set audio levels. Geo and Maurice (two guys who have always shown more energy/interest than I could) are both very capable and will help Lab Rats continue to produce great content...at least they better, I need some content for Torrent!
Hope you all have a great long weekend...be safe and don't forget to relax.

Ikea and Boston Legal: A Winning Weekend Combination

There truly isn't a bigger stress hole than Ikea. I swear to god, that I cannot stay more than 15 minutes in that place without feeling like going postal. The people are crap, the kids are crap, the food is crap but alas the furniture is very well priced and only slightly crap. Kate and I took an adventure this Saturday to the crap, stress hole that is Ikea and decided to build her an office so she can do her school work. Despite the crappy commute, the crappy people and the crappy waiting for delivery, our appartment looks pretty sweet...if not a little cataloguish. I am proud to say we have our own little "The Office" (UK editing of course).

And a big special thanks to Mohit for lending Kate and I Boston Legal Season 1 on the weekend. I love having fresh crack; Kate and I watch 11 episodes in two days and I can't wait for more.
Thanks for the fun weekend babe!

A Little disappointed...


So last night at about 8:00 p.m. I came to the realization that with only 4 hours left, I still hadn't uttered my annual statement of "May the 4th be with you" all day long. DAMMMMITTT! I suppose that is the cost of being quite busy. So on behalf of yesterday, I would like to wish you all a marry "May The 4th be with you" albeit one day late.

Torrent episode 6 is shot and edited and ready to rock. My lovely Kate started her course on Wednesday (woo hoo Ryerson represent) and I am very proud. I figure tonight will be a night of relaxation and celebration of a busy week done. Between Kate's new World Cup project/school course and my lovely G4TechTV responsibilities neither of our asses have touched the ground in a while. Here's to a weekend of chillaxing!

PS I am not quite sure who Stephen is...good ole Google Images!
