- Golf is extremely boring to edit or even watch.

- British plumbing sucks.  The upstairs toilet won’t flush.  I think it’s an issue with the mechanics of the water tank, but upon visual inspection, it’s more complicated than US toilets, which can be manually forced to flush with ease.  I’ll compare it to the toilet downstairs tomorrow to see if I can see what’s different, which is definitely my most favorite idea to do with my time not working.

- The tease is voiced by Gary Oldman, which is cool. I watched the Saturday tease already (I’m here to edit the Sunday one).  The tease is all about how miserable the weather is here and how hard it is to play golf.  The script and Gary’s read are both very taunting of the pussies over the pond (my words, not from script)

- I’m starting to wonder if the pilgrims really came over because they heard about a place with better weather than England.  Trust me, it’s really shit here.  Not extreme, but just a constant downer today.  At least in California I knew there was blue sky above the smoke… here I start to wonder.

- It looks like a loophole in commercial music licensing might be tested here.  Since the show will be on ABC, and while they have a deal with the music industry, as long as a piece looks like it was edited live in the tuck with commercial music over it, it’s okay to use.  The problem is they want me to edit videos, but make it look like it was switched live.  I told them with a bottle of rum at my side, I could edit really serendipitous pieces that wouldn’t cut perfectly to the music and might fool people into thinking it was a truck’s work.

- British coke sucks.  And the pigeons are huge.  And they drive on the other side of the road.  So do the trains.

- Oh, one last thing.  To unlock the front door, I have to use a key.  Okay, so far so good.  To lock the door once I’ve come inside, I use… a key.  Seriously, England is over 1000 years old, and they still haven’t discovered convenience.
