HOUSE OF LIES

It sounds like a drama, but according to imdb, the show is a comedy. My call time was pushed back to 1130am so I decided to give myself two hours to get to Sony studios. I'm glad I did because i had to take a mean dump before checking in. I noticed some restrooms on the way to base camp, but I realized there were more discreet restrooms on another side of the lot. I'll have to remember that.

But I kind of freaked out on the way to the studios because a very loud, screeching sound began to come out of my car. I think it's the break pads trying to tell me it's time to get them replaced, but the sound didn't stop or pause when I braked. So I suspected it might be the struts which need to be replaced too.

I got a chance to nap when we checked in since the scene wasn't ready for us. I was booked as a TSA agent but for some reason, we were all Asian. I thought we'd be used during some kind of baggage check-in scene but instead, we were just told to walk down the hall along with the rest of the passengers and airport people.

Lunch was a walkaway, so I struck up a friendship with Max Lee, a Korean guy who has been doing background since 2003. He told me he switched from joeyslist to extras since he wasn't getting much work from joeys. Maybe I should switch too? We ended up talking about history and wars and all the different leaders who led their armies to battle. He seemed to know a lot about war and I wondered if he was just a student of history or if he was just a war geek.

On my drive home, the screeching from my car went away. I think it was the brakes because that's the same thing that happened once when I needed my brakes done. The screeching went away and I lagged and got down to the metal on my pad. I think I'll try to get them done tomorrow.
