energeticToday marks the completion of Day 5...Week 1...Dollar Days! It's amazing how much work has been put into this week already. I barely remember what happened on Monday. It seems like soooo long ago.
So back to Dollar Days, which will also explain my title for the day. Each Friday is "Dollar Day." We have a giant bucket, which in this case was an old bubble gum bucket. P.A.Tony, who is the one that always get to yell out, "Rrrrrrolling! Quietpleeeeaasseeee?!?" was running the bucket around. Everyone puts in a dollar bill...or 2 or 3 if they wish....with their name on it. After the final shot of the day, a dollar bill is drawn out, and the person who's name is on the bill, gets the entire bucket of money. So the anticipation was growing...we were all anticipating the final shot so we could have the drawing, and all I kept thinking was, "I should have put a freaking dollar in the bucket!" So finally, the time had come...David (our director) had the honor of drawing the name. The suspense was killing me...and Daivd called out the name "Lynch!" And all of the sudden you hear Dusty (1st A.D.) yell out, "Lynch? Who the hell is Lynch?" haha no one knew who this guy was, until finally a P.A. yelled out, he is in the Transportation Department. haha David thought..."Let's re-draw...he's not even here," but it was too late. P.A. Hailey had already jumped on her trusty radio and ruined everything by announcing that Lynch had one. So all of us gave a big "cheer" for Lynch and that was the end of our day.
But back to the beginning of our day. I was happy because I actually got to sleep in today. Call was at 1:30 PM which was awesome. I went by the eye doctor to pick up some more contacts, and then met the carpool at 12:15 to head down. We actually didn't end up leaving Smith's until like 12:45 because again we were waiting for "Peter Pressure Penis Wipe" (inside joke) Matt, and his trusty sidekick "Peter Pressure Penis Wipe" (inside joke) Jr. Nick. I volunteered to drive down today, and so Garet and Matt jumped into my car. We all knew that Matt wasn't actually in the scene we were shooting today, but for some reason they called him anyway. So as we were leaving the smith's parking lot we were thinking "Well, maybe you should drive just in case you DON'T have to stay, and then that way you won't be stuck sitting around." He thought that was smart so he drove himself down. He got a little jealous when Garet and I escaped traffic by using the carpool lane. He wasn't allowed....HAHA!
So all afternoon the big joke was, "I bet money that Matt won't be used today." We all arrived to the set right at 1:30 PM. There were no extras today so it was really quiet and deserted. We got dressed, and ended up sitting around until...oh about 7pm or so. We did the usual, sat at a table and just talked and laughed. We decided we should start a T.V. show with all of us called "Talking Shit!" haha cause it seems to be all that we do haha.
Even though I managed to sleep in, I ended up taking a couple hour nap in the trailer, and came out all disorientated. After the nap, we waited maybe 45 more minutes, and we finally got the good news that we were up to shoot. I learned the new term of "Martini Shot." That means the LAST shot of the day. We ended up finishing at about 9:00 tonight which wasn't too bad. Garet and I drove home and there was lots and lots of traffic.
We have the weekend off...YAY...and we'll be in Payson one more day, on Monday. Call time is early (7:45 AM). Hope you all have a great weekend!!
Peace Out!
P.S. I've created a new photo album in my pictures with shots on the set. Enjoy!
