I made some changes to my moustache scale in the previous post. You can click on it again in the original post to see the new one. With some reflection I decided some of the order wasn’t quite right, and I wanted to change some of the representation. I take these things very seriously. Serious.

Ben wanted me to point out that this is a “gross out” scale. That means 1 is the least gross, and 10 is the most gross.

Songs and Bands I wish were in Rock Band
1) Don’t Stop Believing – Journey
2) Another One Bites the Dust – Queen
3) I Believe in a Thing Called Love – The Darkness
4) Don’t Tell Me – Madonna
5) Don’t Speak – No Doubt
6) Psychokiller – Talking Heads
7) Birdhouse – TMBG

Ben is growing a moustache. Yesterday he asked me “on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being Tom Selleck and 10 being John Waters, where is my moustache?” I placed it at about a 6, but it’s only partly grown in. We hope it will place a 4 or 3 when grown in. His scale intrigued me. What would a full moustache scale look like? I came up with the following. (Click to get the full sized view).

Doing this lead me to create the three laws for judging the awesomeness (and skeeviness) of moustaches:

1) A thick moustache almost always better than a thin one.
2) Moustaches look better on older men.
3) The eyebrows must match the moustache in bushiness.

Here are pictures from filming on Saturday, courtesy of Nate Walker. Today I polished the editing to a final cut. It needs widescreen bars, credits, and music slapped on and it will be done!

Ben worked from home today. It was lovely seeing him for breakfast and lunch. I made sausage, eggs, and toast to get us going. Then when we were both done at 4:00 pm we took Jem to Crown Hill together. It was cold today! I made hummus, falafels, and dill yogurt sauce for dinner. Last night we watched Waitress (good movie!) and so of course Ben asked me to bake a pie today. I made a tart apple and cranberry pie. It was quite good! We shared it with Nate and Miranda (one week overdue now) and Brian and then watched Arrested Development while our dogs played together. What a fun Tuesday!

Between editing I went home to watch some superbowl commercials and eat buffalo chicken pizza with my buds. Then we watched some Arrested Development. Because we CAN’T STOP! Then I went back to Brian’s with him and tweaked all the transitions to smooth out the cut. He needs to go over it tomorrow to work audio magic with evening out background noises. I came home at 11:30 to a filthy house. Now my kitchen floor is swept, dishes are humming in the washer, and all the dog toys and dog toy fuzz have been picked up. only 12:30 am. not bad.

What a week! I’ve been running around for three days on very little sleep and the remnants of a cold. So I felt like the dead when Ben woke me up this morning.

We shot a new short movie yesterday! It’s a script that Brian and I wrote a few weeks ago. Amazingly, we had a large crew and a great cast all by asking friends of friends to help out. We had a Friday night meeting and rehearsal and did all the shooting Saturday from 10 am to 7:30 pm. We worked on post production until 11:30 last night and we’ll pick it up after church today. I got the play the female lead and be editor.

I gotta split for church now. I promise that someday I’ll post all the great photos I’ve been collecting of craft projects and cooking and such.
