Earbud covers.

I think these came with the earbuds with my Palm 700p.  I’m surprised they haven’t disintegrated yet.  I love the idea of earbud covers, but they fall off so often, and I can’t spend my time looking for this sort of thing.

Lego cameraman.

**Catching up on Dec 19**

I think Deana bought me this guy back in the day when I was gung-ho about becoming a DP.  I spent many years behind a camera, first as an assistant and then as a shooter.  I occasionally shoot now, but haven’t undertaken a “professional” DP job in years.  I love this little guy, especially his handlebar mustache.  I think there he had a hat, but that’s long gone.  And the camera takes “film”, ACTUAL “FILM”, so you know this is from a long time ago.  I miss shooting.  Editing is awesome, but the balance of being inside cutting and outside shooting keeps me sane.

West Elm desk chair.

**Catching up on Dec 19**

I think we bought this chair in 2005.  We actually purchased the model without arms, but they sent us this one.  At first we were psyched because we received a more expensive chair…and with arms!  However, we very quickly found out that there was a design flaw with the West Elm desk/ chair combo that we bought- the arms don’t fit under the desk, so they keep bumping into it, which is really annoying.  By the time we figured this out it seemed like more of a hassle to return the chair, so we bit the bullet and kept it.  My love affair with this chair is way over.

Mug from the Wilshire Grand Hotel in LA.

**Catching up on Dec 19**

I snatched this mug from a conference room at the LA Wilshire Grand Hotel.  On a video job, we were shooting in a conference room at the Grand, and they left a tray of mugs for us to use for coffee, etc.  At the end of the day they had taken away most of the food, but left the mugs.  I thought it would make a nice souvenir.

Dance Heads DVD I Will Survive.

See Thing 215 for details.  This video features my mother and her friend Linda “lip synching” I Will Survive while trying to maintain a straight face.
