Back from the “Trenches”

Quite the busy weekend! I am still exhausted from it all. The main that that we did was on Saturday, all day Saturday. My friend Shane Felux, director of Revelations and Pitching Lucas, contacted me (actually his wife and also my friend Dawn) to ask if I wanted to be an extra in a new film project. This one is a 45min long web series that will run as 14 separate 2-7min episodes. It is being backed by a subsidiary of Disney and if it gets a good following it may get picked up as a new Sci-Fi series. So Saturday morning, Andrew and I headed out to the Centerville rock quarry at 6am and stayed out there in the war zone till about 6pm. We were both dressed as war torn futuristic soldiers and were being evac’d from the planet surface. Andrew said he had a blast and he had a few good scenes so there is really good chance that he will be seen when the film gets done. He was excited.

So we got home at shortly after 6pm and took a little bit of a break. The plan was to go see a movie with TG at 10pm. (if you don’t know who TG is, just ask.) She got off work at 8 and came by to meet up at my place. After a few relaxing massages to ease the muscle strain, we left to go catch Hot Fuzz. The movie was great, very funny. The only problem I had was that I was exhausted. Thankfully I had a good comfy shoulder to nap on. I may need to go see it again to catch the scenes I missed. I feel so bad, I have never fallen asleep in a theater before! I guess that’s what I get for stretching myself a little thin. We came home and I crashed hard. I slept like a rock.

Sunday was as much like a typical Sunday as possible. We woke up, played some pool, cleaned the house, I got my comics (BTW, if you read comics you must must must read the Nightwing annual. One of the best reads in a long while). The only downside to the whole day was that I was still tired and sore. But, my house is clean as I am having company over this weekend. Last time I said who it was I got yelled at as I am not going to say. This next week is going to be taken nice and easy. I WILL finish editing episode 1 this week and have it ready shortly. No really!
