It's a "hurry up and wait job" I can do without

This episode of Burn Notice aired last night.

I'll never get tv or movie production. They were out on Commodore Plaza for maybe eight hours that day and the scene was about 30 seconds on the screen.

I used to see kids at Crandon Park years ago being photographed for magazine ads. It was the middle of summer, 90 degrees and humid, and they were wearing winter clothing, doing ads for the next season.

I would swim, lay out, enjoy the day, and after a few hours, I would leave and there were the same kids, maybe 4 or 5 years old, wearing the same heavy clothing, doing the same thing over and over while I was having fun all that time. That bothered me a lot, I can't see how parents do that to their kids, but the point is the whole thing of hurry up and wait.

It takes hours and hours to get one perfect photograph or 30 seconds of film that is usable. While I am a perfectionist, I don't have that kind of patience.

Oh, and Beth and I were cut out of our big 30 second scene as extras.
