Although all of us are pretty much used to working 12 hour days by now, there’s a huge difference between a 12 hour shooting day and a 12 hour rigging day.
Since we can’t make any noise while they’re rolling, shoot days have opportunities to slow down a bit – get off one’s feet, read the [...]
Since it’s late, I’m wiped out and I’ve got to get to bed soon (have to wake up at 4:30 am), I’ll keep this short:
Earthquake? No big deal.
No damage to the house – nothing even fell off the shelves. It made our lunch hour more exciting, but that was about it.
I’m off to fight for [...]
I can remember a time, not so long ago, when if no one was home, the phone would just ring and ring and ring and eventually whoever was calling would figure it out and call back later. If it was really important they’d just have to track you down. Or wait. Either one was good.
Then, [...]
Most of the time when I’m working, I aim for wearing clothes that don’t smell and haven’t got rips in embarrassing places, but sometimes I do actually have to dress up to go to work (actually, I usually wear my ‘normal’ clothes in and change at the last possible second to avoid any teasing, wolf [...]
Lately, I’ve been completely worn out in the evenings and haven’t really had the energy to do much of anything besides lay on the couch and stare blankly at the TV, so here’s a photo:
Generally, one wants to ‘test burn’ lights while they’re on the ground, as it’s easier to repair them there than it [...]
This morning the doctor called just to check in, and during the course of the conversation he mentioned that I need to find a therapist.
Me: “Why do I need to see a therapist? You gave me pills.”
After a long silence (during which I could almost hear him contemplating a career change), he sighed heavily and [...]
For quite some time, I’ve been anxious all the time but didn’t think anything about it as just about everyone I know is anxious right now (thanks a bunch SAG), but over the past few days I’ve started to have panic attacks.
Panic attacks, in case you’ve never had one, are like a fight-or-flight reaction gone [...]
Although I made it through the holiday weekend with no bullet wounds (I think), this not being able to work out is making me crazy.
The really bad part is that the shoulder’s almost, but not quite, better so I’m fighting the temptation to work out ‘just a little’ which would, of course, make the shoulder [...]
Although I’d love to be able to jet off to somewhere exciting and fun over the holiday weekend, economic uncertainty and high gas prices (for us. You Europeans can stop snickering now, thanks) mean that I’ll be staying home this weekend, dodging bullets.
No, really.
In certain areas of Los Angeles, the locals celebrate major holidays (4th [...]
One of the things that really gets me when I work all night Friday is trying to get back on a day schedule – we get released sometime Saturday morning and then have a 7 am call on Monday, so there’s a bit of a panic to not be a zombie Monday morning.
While there are [...]
