Well, I guess I should do a blog update. I’ve been pretty busy this year so far, but I’ve decided not to do a photo-a-day project for 2010. Instead, I’ve been making an effort to cook on at least one day a week (typically on Sundays). Work gives employees a choice of anniversary gift each year, and this year I chose a great set of stainless steel pots.

Anyway, something I came across this evening caught my eye – it’s a contest hosted by CBS for people to submit their best impersonation of CSI Miami’s Horatio Cane (David Caruso). I have a few ideas I wanted to write down, so I thought – what better place to put them than on my blog, which is starving for attention?

Cold Open One:

Scene: A deep freezer has been opened. Wisps of cold air are emanating from its cold interior. A body (or body parts, in a nod to Dexter Season 1) can be seen, lit by a cold blue light.

Random Crimelab Lackey: “H, we won’t be able to get an accurate time of death from the body. It’s been frozen for too long. We’ll have to look through our cold cases to see if anything fits.”

Horatio: “Do that, Officer Lackey. And let me know what you find, because this is what I call …”

*Horatio puts on his sunglasses, despite being inside*

Horatio: “A cold open.”

YEEEEOWW!

Okay, that one might not be all that great. But the next one isn’t any better, I promise!

Cold Open Two:

Scene: A gently flowing river. Fall. Leaves on the shoreline. Shallow focus on a cat licking something out of a plastic bag, a police cruiser’s lights flashing in the blurred depths of the frame. A dark silhouette moves toward the camera.

* Horatio approaches the cat, crouches, shoos it out of the way, revealing a limb protruding from the bag *

Horatio: The cat’s in the bag.

*takes off sunglasses, stands up, notices another bag floating in the stream*

Horatio: And the bag’s in the river.

MEEEEEOWWWW!

Okay, that’s all I got. Heh. Here are a few that are a bit more creative than mine.
