Worked on NCIS today, across town (I know I mentioned it, but it's still cool), and it was a short-ish day, which was cool because I stayed cool...It was winter in DC...but it was really Valencia, so the high was aiming for 80. I was in a suit, scarf, gloves, and a fully built winter overcoat.

It was, however, a well picked location, where the traveling sun never landed any light in the frame. Combine that with the steady breeze coming down from the higher elevations, and the coat, suit, etc. felt fine.

Interesting factoid: If you've ever wondered how they do the dead bodies in crime shows (the freshly dead, not the decayed, gnawed three weeks dead type) it turns out that it's not a well dressed dummy. It's a real person. It might be obvious to you, but I've always wondered if they can get a person to stay comfortable and still for a shoot like that...often in uncomfortable, twisted, just-been-popped-by-a-Glock positions. I'm pretty sure they get a spiffy check out that, though, because today's corpse had his leg in a position that but some serious torque on his left knee...and he was pushing 60.

Another interesting thingy: for those of you that are fans of the show--look for Abby to get out of the lab and onto a crime scene...bearing a nice little black lace parasol.

Currently, I'm striking out on work for tomorrow, watching Season 3 of How I Met You Mother.

Whee. (That's the whee that comes from being in the air about the headshots and really worrying about finding the work for the first time since I came home.)

Whee!
