AMERICAN CAROL #2

The catering company was already wrapping-up by the time I checked-in at 6pm. I was lucky to get a burger and was glad I did. I knew we wouldn't be fed for at least six hours.

I saw Kelsey Graham today who was a lot taller than I thought he would be. He plays General Patton, who I suppose might be the ghost of Christmas past. I don't know though. I just knew that it was cold and that we didn't have much time to put our jackets on between takes.

I met John Ung who was an eager young man who had served two tours in Iraq. He seemed genuine and kind and wanted to learn more about investing. He was enthusiastic about 99 cent stores and I thought, huh, that's something I haven't thought about. They always say you have to invest in something you know, and that's what I told John.

As the night wore on, it got later and later, and I was shocked that it was 4 am in the morning when I asked what time it was. I hate late (or early) calls like this ever since I experienced one on Chuck. I feel too old to stay up like this and I feel like crap when it's all said and done. I thought I had it bad, but John had to check-in for his Navy job at 6:30am! He asked the PAs if he could leave early and they let him. I told him he should say he's fighting terrorism.

Then I met Hajj who was crazy about water. He said he had a Kangen machine which helped him grow his hair back, gave him the six-pack he had lost, helped replenish his strength when working out and gave him a 20 year olds stamina with the ladies. It was interesting to learn about alkaline water benefits, but it sounded like bullshit to me. Sure enough, it's another multi-level marketing deal, but it still made me curious enough to want to try this water.
