add a little funk to the brain

3 weeks into this PM endeavor, and here's what i got so far:

1 $60 MM feature next spring
1 $30 MM in NC between now and the end of the year
word from our lead, "any project that I work on from now on, I want you two on it." - that'd be nicole and i. (lol. we'll see how far this one pans out)
2 independent projects - 1 involving modified bmx bikes, war paint and a Mad Max style paintball course. the other, a new dead person every episode
1 music video

long hours and drama-bombs aside, i'd say this project turned out to be quite successful all around. a paycheck for now, a reference for later. basic networking 101 - it's what you do when you don't have a hand to hold.
i've definitely had the time to get pretty damn close to some people on set, as well as most of our regular cast. i know we'll be keeping in touch post wrap. shit, this is nicole's first feature, and as far as i'm concerned, she's my new go-to for hair/makeup assist. if anything, i'm glad we got our time to hang out again, we've been rather lazy about getting together otherwise.
i've discovered a new appreciation for under eye baggage. actually, i'm not sure how much i appreciate it, so much as they're the first thing i cover for everyone these days. they're hard to miss when you've been working 5pm to 7am every day for the past week. my diet's fuct, too. i'm never quite as hungry for a full on dinner at midnight or 1 in the morning, and it's really the only meal that's served to us. i don't hang out at the crafty table between takes, so i'm not snacking either. and as soon as i get home, i'm out. sleepin before the sun moves over my skylight. the result - none of my pants fit me well, and i've also noticed slight bend in my nail bed, indicating a possible vitamin deficiency - someone needs a multi-vi stat!
sooo - i've taken a beating on this one, but it's not like i wont miss it when it's gone.
hence the networking, and such. oh well. 2pm, good morning. time to get this ass movin.

nothing comes out when you move your lips

all N words aside, Dr. Dre is, like, the godfather of rap:

Dr. Dre - Forgot About Dre ft. Eminem, Hittman

Ho Please
You better bow down on both knees
Who you think taught you to smoke trees
Who you think brought you the o' G's
Eazy-E's Ice Cube's and D.O.C's and Snoop D O double G's
And a group that said "mutha fuck the police"
Gave you a tape full of dope beats
To bump when you stroll through in your hood
And when your album sales wasn't doin too good
Who's the doc that he told you to go see?

forget about the faces, recognize the force

if these ants ever leave, i'll get some rest

till then i'm recording the crash speeds of raindrops on the skylight above my bed. at times the beating disappears, and that's when i know - someone's watching.

my brain needs rest more than my body - i may abuse a benadryl.

makin me proud

logan's hero shot

two weeks ago, before we started this insane Pizza Man adventure, my damn dog was just doin what he do - dancin in the living room, tossin toys in the air for himself to catch, singin his bird-like tunes - all in an attempt to steal some attention and time from my producer and director while i was involved in an intensive 2 hour makeup test on Dallas.

Logan loves new people in the house. they're super susceptible to his extreme cuteness - and he knows this. Logan's far smarter than anyone assumes. He loves performing for people, he's very persistent and focused, and he's got mad endurance. His favorite thing to do is lock you into the longest game of fetch you'll ever play. First, he'll grab your attention, then he'll bring his toy. Here's where you smile and say "aaaw", cuz he just dropped it in your lap and gave you the biggest pair of "please" eyes you dun ever did see. after that, it's over. he's won and you're stuck.

Logan pulled his usual on my director and he LOVED this. LOVED. he fell for Logan right away and asked if he could be in our movie. SHA. of course!

I immediately called my crazy-intuitive dog training, lovely friend Jill to assist me with Logan's scene. Yesterday we rehearsed - today we shoot!

I'm so excited for my pup! Everyone digs him on set - we'll have the ASPCA with us for his safety (yay!!) and in the end he'll get his first IMDB credit!

i can't fugghin wait!
