Weird Science

If you take into consideration the theory of pantheism, that everything and everyone are truly one and the same, then this absolutey is the case. I think that the more aware and in sync a person is (that is to say the quieter their ego is) with the true nature of our reality, the more likely they are to take in step through all that our "doors of perception" have to offer. It seems to me that women are more naturally clairvoyant and in tuned then men are.

Is it me or does the theory of pantheism sound rather soothing? That we're all connected in some little way we just have to drop the ego before we can see that? Hippie logic or borderline religion. I'm not sure, but I like it.

C'est chic blog.

Location scouting: Fun if you're on a semi big budget movie. Not fun if you also have to end up being the maid service et plus location mistress on a semi low budget movie. As with most things in life it never pays to be in the middle. Examples: middle child, Thanksgiving, middle income family in the US, and being a mid budget movie. Realistically I was working on a low budget movie but in the Kara spectrum it was a middle range. Wealthy enough to hire a location team too poor to hire a clean up crew. So guess who now knows how to mop an entire school around 3am?

At some point....

I am going to post some witty, charming, and interesting thought on here. Just not right now. I desperately need a shower and another 11 hours of sleep.

On set

Random tweets about being on set. (in reverse order.)

Lunch break at 6pm. Tried to get one of the giant hearts that says "give blood " as a souvenir. Props wasn't ariund to ask though. Since 1800 flowers is doing all the flowers for the movie everyone takes home a billion flowers after set. Mike is giving some to his wife. :-) If I was Mike's wife I'd be like "um...those are set flowers. Don't count". Although he did take the time to send Mary to pick some for his wife so there was some thought.

Slowly dying down. Just sitting here in Mike's chair reading through old txts and the call sheet

it's ridiculous but I love taking the van on set. I could probably just walk the half mile back to the trailer but vans are so awesomely available.

Picking up helpful ideas for future shooting. such as call sheet examples etc.

Park, craft service, set. In that order

Looking over paperwork for today. Seems no one is going in until 12. The earliest call time is 11:30. What a bunch of slackers! Though this also probably means they film until midnight which I may have to end up staying until then. Hopefully not because I'm not technically employed on set so I just sit around by the producers and that can get boring after 10 hours. PS: so the film set I've been on all summer is "Valentine's Day". (Karz entertainment/Newline) easiest way to sum it up is Love Actually meets LA. I'm still confused on how the companies are paying for the movie because it's nothing but expensive actors in every role. IMBD and you'll understand. Ok off to location. (hospital)

I lost my right eye in my boss's pool

Hmm...so my boss gave me the keys to her house for the 4th of July weekend. Hence I went over and used her pool. (had permission, no worries) Anywho so I never figured out how to turn on the pool lights so I was swimming around in the dark essentially (PS: Tht's soooo creepy. It felt very Monster from black lagoon) and at some point I blinked out my contact. Hence I now have only one contact lens till I get home. And I know some people think it's weird that I swim in contacts but I have to. I'm blind otherwise. I'd rather lose an eye than swim around blind and knock my head on the floor, pass out, drown, and then have the producer come home and see a dead intern in her pool. (I'm really glad I committed to that story.)

Ok...enough of that. How's the internship going...

1) I'm no longer the only intern. A gal from Northwestern named Felicia and then a fellow UTLAer Kaitlin now intern with me. I usually intern with Kaitlin, and in all honesty I prefer it that way. Kaitlin is hilar! Felicia is not. Lately I've been turned into the internship coordinator. Helping explain systems etc. I never quite realized until now how comfortable I am with the phones and the entire office. It just hit me that I'm wayyyy more confident than when I started. Nothing bothers me as much as it used to. So I dropped a call, whatever! I just dial back in and connect lines. I'M bloody brilliant!

Good times, good times. Next step assistant. Which is going to be a sucky job. Long hours babysitting adults it seems. Aight I should stop blogging and answer some phones.

For Sammer

So I got a rather ridiculous email from a loon over at the Huntsville pen. Her name is Sami Hall. But she's a darling weirdo so I try to respond to her questions via this blog:

I really sat down and read your blog today. Usually I stand to read blogs,
but today just felt different. I commented on two posts. Guess which ones?!
[And no cheating!] Sounds like you're fitting in nicely. Do you share your
twinkie or pot-brownie at lunch?

Answer: Never share your Brownie or pot pie at lunch. It's a cut throat world. Keep what you have to yourself. Unless it's talent, and then let me exploit it.

Are you making friends? Do they pick on
you?

I've only been beaten up thrice, so I consider that a success.

What's 2 times 4?

4+4= 8! Hoozah Mr. Gates-my 3rd grade math teacher! And you never thought I was listening...fo shame.

Did Nancy Drew have hairplugs?

No idea. Though the world on the lot is that they aren't plugs. She's using some kinda hair creme. Which is tragic since it's obviously bleaching out her lowlights.

How many times have you gone home with a stranger only to find out they use RV toliet paper?

Hmm....only once and I thought it was a little weird that they bought the RV movie toilet paper. Nothing says quality paper like Robin Williams face being plastered on there.

Have you babysat Brangelina's hoard yet? Is it still socially acceptal to
refer to them as "Brangelina"?

No, and no. I haven't sat on their kids yet, but eventually. And Brangelina is soooo 2008. They're now called: Angerad. Very pretty name.....

Did you get that Mike/Samir/Raj sleeping (aka, their cuddle party) figured
out?

Nope.

Do you think they'd be creeped out if they knew I put them together in
an imaginary cuddle party?

Yep.

Do you think I would care? (hint: probably not).

Thanks for the hint....my final answer is: "No".
