RINGER #2

I have to remember that when my call time is after 9AM, I don't have to hurry as much as I normally do.  I was about half an hour early, even having eaten a bowl of cereal before getting there.  Little did I know that breakfast was being provided.

I checked-in then went to wardrobe.  Takashi, the costumer, liked my suit, but didn't like the tie so much.  He decided to go with more of a New York style tie, but when I was walking into stage 2, his boss saw the tie and didn't like it.  So I had to go back and change ties.  The one I ended up with was a cool purple one that everyone seemed to like.

The scene was some kind of auction for teachers with high priced goods.  I was paired with Lauren, a chick who went to Arizona St. but was originally from Arkansas.  She's one of the few people who have guessed my ethnicity on the first guess.  Apparently, she had some good friends who she grew up with who were Filipino, so I guess that's why.

The entire day was going to set and being set-up to stand around like we were in a fancy party.  Sometimes I was used, and sometimes not, which allowed me to nap from time to time.  We worked pretty late, and were wrapped around 11:30AM.  That should be some decent overtime considering my call time was at 10:30AM.

When I got home, I watched an episode of Game of Thrones which I am a fan of now because it's freakin' awesome.  It makes you feel like you are watching a life and death game of power and politics in a different medieval world.
