This is at 33 minutes and the mix was at 68ºF when it started. I usually like the mix at 50º or below, but I didn't want to wait today. It was done by 40 minutes.
Totally edible now, of course, but better after some time in the freezer to firm up.
Really, I do want to ask these men (and yes, it is always men) who start a phone call or email with a list of their titles/credentials, rather than just saying "Dear Ms. Burns, I represent Bob's House of Infringement in this matter..." if they are unaware that the second I (and I suspect most women) hear/read those titles we think not "Oooh! I'm impressed" but rather "tiny penis."
My friend in TN recounted to me the following: one of if not the first job/s her hubs had in AV production was wiring a lavalier mic on Ms. Parton. He stood in front of her for a bit, a tall man blushing like a kid, not knowing how to approach the well known bust. She said "Don't worry--they don't bite!" and laughed, putting everyone at ease.
He said she was kind to everyone on the set and gracious and, well, just everything you'd hope.
Lunch started with an email from a Southern California high rise luxury apartment property developer trying to claim they're only a little company who didn't know they had to license photos.
Oh, and they emailed me directly--not through their lawyer.
It's 81ºF here but the sun is super intense. Top-down is fine as long as you're moving, but I got stuck behind several sloooow drivers after I got off the freeway. By the time I got home after errands and teaching, I was a puddle in white linen.
I have just drafted a motion for entry of default, to be filed next week. I suspect the defendants will fail to answer; but having the motion ready may cosmically ensure they do.
