Check it out, I got a Rode VideoMic from my mom for my birthday. It’s pretty much the standard mic for videographers so it edges me one step closer to being legit. I did a quick test and was very pleased with the clarity and very noticeable boost in volume. Maybe I’ll shoot something substantial in the near future and post it here. (how many times have i said that?)

Lately, I’ve been getting together with a few old friends and writing some short comedy scripts. A few weeks back, in the span of a few hours, we got an idea, wrote a 3-page script, and shot 40 minutes worth of footage. The finished product was pretty funny, but the time limits made it a little too rough around the edges to show anyone yet. But now, armed with a new mic, lighting from Lowe’s, a pile of scripts, and some lessons learned, we’ll have something worth showing soon enough.

In the meantime, I’m dealing with one hell of a sore throat, white patches and all. I was tired and achy the first two days, but last night I found a home remedy that actually works: gargling warm water and cayenne pepper! It sounded crazy enough, and by last night I couldn’t swallow and had knots of lymph nodes in my neck.

Sure enough, with the first gargle my throat loosened up and the pain started to go away…well, not entirely, but almost. I’ve continued the treatment and I haven’t had any fever or aches today nor am I tired. Hopefully the cayenne will keep me from having to go to the doctor.

P.S. Can’t wait to go see Knocked Up tomorrow!
