TOTAL RECALL

I hadn't worked for so long, I began wondering if I'd ever get booked again.  It's been terribly slow and I don't know if it has to do with the merger of the unions, the general slowdown during this month or both or neither.  All I know is that it felt great to be booked.

I played a lab tech in a clean room today.  I was sent to Sony Studios in Culver City and it took me a good two hours to get there during rush hour traffic.  But I was about 45 minutes early so I took my sweet time to walk to the stage.  I could have eaten breakfast but I decided to wait.  It seemed like there was hardly anyone at the stage including background.

I saw Kwan again from Pair of Kings.  He was booked as a factory worker.  I guess this is the factory that Colin Farrell works in.  In the background of the office he goes in is the lab and the hallway of the factory.  A lot of the factory guys weren't used, but all four of us in the lab were.

It was take after take after take.  They must have done several angles because it was the same thing over and over and over again.  The good news was that we were wrapped pretty early.  Only about six hours of work and we got to eat afterward.  The bad news was no overtime.  Oh well.  I didn't hear from Janet until I got home about chillin and waiting the traffic to die down.  So I got to go home and nap a little.

Then Jansen asked if I wanted to watch a movie.  We watched The Cabin in the Woods.  What a trippy horror flick.  Pretty good too and very much Joss Whedon style.
