We made it through the week’s worth of yoga classes with
Emerald. It was tough and she had all
the appeal of a rusty, stinky, steel wool pad, but we made it! Everyone one of my zombie pals had a call
sheet to be on the set of “The Dirt Nap Gang Rides Again” at 6 in the
morning. We showed up and waited. Then we waited some more. Once we stopped waiting, it was time to start
the whole process over…. Yep, you guessed it, we waited some more. Stacey was the smart one (well of course,
she’s smart….she is a woman after all); she snagged somebody’s cell phone and
played multiple levels of Angry Birds to pass the time. What’s the story with these birds and why are
they angry? I defy anyone to pick out one
bird on this game and give me a justifiable reason as to that bird’s angry funk. Was this bird not hugged enough by his
mom? Did his dad go out for cigarettes
one night and never came back? Anyway,
the rest of us zombies stood around waiting.
Ike brought some dental floss and was working on his one and only
mutated front tooth. Smelled like sulfur
as he cleaned the rotten flesh plaque off his tooth. Ironically Ike’s last human value meal was
some dentist from the down town area.
Well, while everyone else was bored, I found it interesting to chat it
up with one of the boom operators between takes and on breaks. He was a degenerate gambler who constantly
talked about his love for the chaos in the casinos. Travis, the boom operator, also let me know
that if he ever hit it big with lottery winnings, he would walk away from this
job immediately. I tried to explain to
Travis that he would have a better chance of his boom turning into a horny giraffe
with a longing desire to French kiss him than of winning the lottery! After that comment, Travis just walked away
to grab a donut from the food table.
Guess the truth hurts! Maybe I
should become a psychologist or counselor?
I have a keen way of dishing the truth to people, usually right before scrambling
their brains with my teeth and tongue. (Lucky for gambler Travis----he’s not
scheduled to be my “dinner guest” until after the film has been completed. You know his union wouldn’t approve
otherwise.)
