I have to replace my hard drive.
My firewall software took a dump and now my drive has been fucked up from an unfortunate influx of all kinds of nasty things. Since the only sites I visit are my email (yahoo), some blogs, myspace and Defamer, I’m wondering who’s fault this is.
Since I’ve never changed a [...]
In the past few days, the film production rumor mill has cranked up to high speed again, and when I went to pay my union dues I heard rumblings about a “bunch of stuff” starting up around the 15th of this month.
While work is always a very good thing, I have to be honest in [...]
The last few times I’ve been out of town for longer than one night, I’ve had the same recurring nightmare. I dream that I come home, pull up to the house, and discover that it’s a smoldering ruin – a rubble heap from which I can salvage nothing. In the dream, I stand there, wondering [...]
Five dollars for 15 minutes.
Go!
Turbulent aircraft
The shaking invigorates
Where are my fillings?
So many head colds
Recirculating air – yuck!
Please try not to sneeze.
The plane boards at last
Passengers packed like sardines
Soon I will be home
I promise I will never post poetry ever again.
I’m off for a few days to visit the family.
Since I’ve been on a movie set for the past few weeks, I thought I’d write myself a reminder list – since I’m sure I’ve forgotten how to behave around folks who don’t think farts are funny.
1. “Hey, motherfucker” is not an appropriate greeting.
2. The dessert [...]
I always feel several emotions at the end of a show – relief that it’s over, the same kind of sadness I got as a kid when summer camp came to an end, and a slight panic at the idea of resuming the ‘day player hustle’.
We ended up wrapping out Wednesday night after all (once [...]
On our set, you can feel that no one cares anymore. A few people have already left to go home for the holidays, and everyone else is just marking time until we’re done.
Our wrap plans have gone seriously awry. Were going to wrap tomorrow night after we finished shooting (three hours of double time – [...]
Today, we had a scene which required a security guard. The guy that the casting agency sent over didn’t look much like a security guard, and the producer (and the director), at the last minute, decided that he just wouldn’t do – he was more ‘underaged hall monitor’ than ‘menacing authority figure’.
One of our juicers [...]
I was cranky as hell Friday. The teenagers were driving me mad, my co-workers were driving me mad, the director was driving me mad, hell – the color of the walls in the school was driving me mad. Craft service and the caterer just about sent me over the edge, and a simple request from [...]
For the rest of the show, we’re going to be shooting in a high school in the San Fernando Valley. Although the school goes on Christmas break next week, for the next two days it’s full of students.
I’ve managed to spend most of my adult life avoiding teenagers. Even the ‘teenage’ extras in our movie [...]
