I am unbelievably excited for this.

Today my dad got the staples out from his surgery and a new set of x-rays.
As far as I’m concerned, my dad is a metal suit away from being Titanium Man, Iron Man’s (middle aged, slightly balding) friend.
What a BAMF.

My new apartment is so cosy.

I could literally write a novel about all the wonderful things my dad does and about all the sacrifices he’s made for me. I won’t here and now, but I could.
My dad is pretty much legendary. He has more friends than any person I’ve ever met, and truly cares about them all and knows all the details of their lives. My friends think he’s epic and he somehow remembers all their names and details and asks me how they are. His jokes are legendarily corny, but also still somehow funny. He likes puns, too. A week after spinal surgery, the fitbit I bought him for Chanukkah informed us that he had walked 5,000 steps that day. What?!
From that time he saved a burn victim at a hotel in Alaska to the time he fixed up a woman who walked through a plate glass window at a museum in Wyoming to that time he helped a heart attack victim at a restaurant in New York, I grew up thinking my dad was pretty much a super hero.
Basically, my dad is awesome and deserves the greatest Father’s Day in the whole world.
(Bonus picture of my grandma, who is turning 90 this week. She looked fabulous 22 years ago (She was 68 there! Incidentally, I was terrified of her as a baby- check out Itty Bitty Emma’s expression.) and looks fabulous now.)

Okay. I promise I won’t post every video I have of people directing anything on here. But here’s one more from the Boston Pops.
This one is extra cool because you can hear the score reader counting beats/measures in the background. Your average director and AD probably don’t read orchestral scores, so a score reader is employed on the Pops show so they know exactly what section of instruments comes in when. Cool.

I’ve seen the video of Glenn Weiss directing the opening of the Tonys floating around so I figured I’d share my video of him directing “Shipping Up to Boston” performed by the Boston Pops and Dropkick Murphys at the Boston Pops Fourth Of July Fireworks Spectacular last year.
I was the truck PA on the show and it was by far the most amazing thing ever - the show started live, then went to the tape of the dress rehearsal due to weather, then came back to the host for a live hit, back to tape, and then it stopped raining and we came back live for the rest of the show. No one at home had any idea. Glenn (and his producing partner, Ricky Kirshner) is that good.

Every generation gets the Superman it deserves. Read our feature on the history of Superman adaptations.
I saw Superman last night. I thought it was very entertaining and the acting was spot-on, but the film was by no means as incredible as other recent superhero movies. This article is an excellent, brief history of the franchise that doesn’t have any spoilers of the new movie.
One thing I think we all can agree upon is Henry Cavill is phoaaaaaaaaar.

GPOY: The only furniture in my new apartment is blankets and pillows but one of the neighbors leaves their internet unlocked so things could definitely be worse. Edition.

Do not feed the PAs. They are prone to excitability.
