My Grandma Visits WKRN
- The handicapped stall is the first one in the women's bathroom. What a genius idea! Why isn't it like that every place?
- "The liberating power of self-expression."
- Hmm... news as reflection of the community. Do I buy that?
- Don't underestimate ambient sound.
- Count to ten for each shot & it seems to give the eye a chance to comprehend it.
- Don't look with the camera.
- Keep the camera on your shot while you look for the next one.
- Remember that your eye sees things static, from scenario to scenario.
[These notes are even funnier when you realize that I don't own a camera. They are completely inapplicable to me and yet, I still took them. I am a giant nerd.]
- Thanks to WKRN, I have discovered that I look exactly like my grandma.
- Tim Morgan is a cutie.
Yes, let's spend a moment on these two. I was sitting there innocently trying to maintain my anonymity when, as they were discussing how to frame shots, they turned the camera towards all us Nashville bloggers and there was Brittney and Blake and Rex Hammock and all these folks and nestled in among them was my grandma D.
Yep, same big round features, same tendency to rest her hands on her boobs for no reason, same flighty way of holding her fingers out at the ends of her arms like little 4th of July sparklers waving in the evening breeze, same laugh same smile, same everything.
And it was me! Christ Jesus. I could not look any more like my grandma if I dressed only in her clothes.
How bad was it? How quickly am I becoming an 85 year old woman?
I spent the afternoon thinking--That Tim Morgan, he's so cute and delightfully funny. I think I'll set him up with one of my granddaughters.

What about almost picking up a hooker?
I doubt you look a bit like your grandma. although I haven't seen your grandma. It was great meeting you today. It was very interesting to say the least.
I didn't get to go today, I'm glad you took notes. Did you at least get the AARP discount for the class?
Yea, you didn't explain the hooker!
At least you don't look like your GREAT grandmother.
Dear Professor, I'm not sure I follow your train of thought, exactly. Am I my grandmother or is she me?
Either way, we're both single, so it really just depends on whether you'd like to meet a nice 85 year old who looks 30 or a nice 30 year old who looks 85. Or maybe both of us?
Me? I'm my own grandpa.
You are hilarious! I can't wait to see you on WKRN.
Also being slightly nerdy, I take it as a sign that you had fun if you have notes that don't appear to be useful. :)

P.S. 2.17? The cheap place that's out of the way and swarmed with cars is 2.30. Everywhere else is about 2.40. And we live at the frontier of non-suburbia where everything is cheaper in our area.
