I'm really falling behind.
So tuesday was October Road which was completely uneventful and yet another $60 day.
Wednesday I wasn't working so went way down Crenshaw Transformers from a Redbox machine and to get a movie that I could only find a library down there.
When I got home I watched the documentary Tying the Knot. It's a documentary for/about gay marriage. Already feeling that the anti-gay marriage crowd is ridiculous the documentary just reinforces things I already believe. For people on the edge though I think it provides good examples of people's lives literally being ruined because the government refuses to recognize their marriages. It's sad really that people can't see how much their bigotry hurts these people. ***.
Thursday I worked on Las Vegas. I was all excited for a nice long day, but the last scene before lunch involved a smoke bomb. Luckily I was one of the first ones out, but the people who came tearing out after me had tears just streaming down their faces. After lunch they made the decision that the stage was unsafe to be working in and we all got sent home. So it was just a minimum day and to top things off I got a ticket for an illegal u-turn as I was pulling into the parking lot.
Off the availability line I got called for Shark to be a tennis ball boy. That's certainly not something I'd call in for. It involved running which of course I'm not a fan of. It did feel good to actually be moving a bit though. I feel like I ought to do a bit more of it.
Today I went to try to find a cheap suit at a couple of Goodwill's and the huge St. Vincent De Paul. I also got fed up with the stupid fliers on my car from the same damn insurance company who is nothing but rude to me when I call them up to complain. So I went into a police station. And explained the situation. It seems that car flyering is a citable crime, but not a reportable one so unless they are caught in the act there isn't much that can be done about it, but the officer offered to call the company and sound official and try to scare them a bit. It's nice to have positive police interaction on occasion to counteract the negativity toward them that comes with getting tickets and the like.
When I got home I wanted to use more of my Netflix instant viewing before my account ran out so I watched The Hunger. It was something that Chuck Palahniuk had recommended it to me. Man he likes weird movies. The movie is ridiculously 80s and extremely weird in what I can only assume since I've never seen it a Twin Peaks kind of way even though it was made quite a few years later. It's a bit surprising to see Susan Sarandon so, um, naked, and writhing, but I guess every actress has done it at some point. Sorry, Chuck, I was excited and wanted to see it, but I just couldn't get into it. I guess it was the ending you liked and I did think the ending was interesting. **.
Then I watched Dark Days, a documentary about the people "homeless" people living in the abandoned tunnels under New York City. It's shot in a high contrast black and white in a sort of Maysles brothers style. When Amtrak kicks them out at the end and they all get apartments it's just very nice and smile worthy. ***.
Tomorrow I have no idea what I'm doing. Monday I'm working CSI.
