Space... I'm out of it as of tomorrow!

Today was my last day on "Enterprise". I managed to get off the first unit crew (I had enough of The Walrus), and they cut the rigging crew, so I'm jumping to another show tomorrow.

We had a fun, fun day.. Everyone is really relaxed, and we were joking and having fun all day.. Near the end of the day, we were all (rigging grip/electric, set construction and swing gang) taking joke pictures in the bridge set and we got busted by the UPM. Ooops.. He was pretty good natured about it, but still. He walked in on us, and watched us for a few moments, and then politely asked us to please get back to work.. One of the stand ins who's a horrible gossip saw too, and the ENTIRE crew knew in about 10 minutes.. Damn.

Bumped into a Major Movie Star today.. he was on the stage next to ours, and we were chit chatting.. I had no idea who he was until someone told me.. He's not that good looking in person, but he's got that charisma.. when he talks to you, articles of clothing just loosen themselves.. he smiled at me, and my shoe came untied.. Damn.
Short, but a very, very nice guy. He offered to get me a cup of coffee (his stage had MUCH better coffee than ours), and then called me "Babe" in front of the boys, and they gave me shit for the rest of the day.

I'm going to miss the boys. Oh, and "The Walrus" is going to stick.. the nickname has spread through the crew like wildfire.. now EVERYONE on the Paramount lot is calling him "The Walrus"..

Awesome.

Is it a 'date' or is it Memorex?

Had a date last night with a guy that I met on Craig's List.. Met at the Roost ( a 'dive' bar in Los Feliz).. I was dressed WAY too 'westside' for the area.

He actually turned out to be cute - too cute. I went home with him and fucked him. Bad me. In my experience, if you go home with them they'll never, ever call you again. I don't want a one-night-stand. I've been there before - I didn't like it then, and I don't like it now. I feel kind of cheap and used which is an unfortunately familiar feeling.

Sometimes you just need to get laid, but still.

I need another booty call to stop me from doing things like this.

Ooopsie! He's not getting up!

There was a minor accident on the set of "Enterprise" last night.

After a 14 hour day, the last shot of the day (at 2 am) was a stunt.

These guys were pulled back on a thing called a 'ratchet' - it's a big frame with wires on a counterweight system running from the stuntmen towards the camera so they'll fly back towards the camera as if they'd been blown backwards by an explosion.

One of the stuntmen hit his head on the floor and got knocked out cold. They weren't using pads on the floor because the landing was on camera. As soon as they called 'cut'.. the other two stuntmen got up, but the one just laid there. The stunt co-ordinator tried to wake him, called his name over and over, but he didn't respond. Production called an ambulance, and the producer sent everyone home at 2:30 am.

When I was walking out, he was awake, and they were taking him to the hospital - in full alien makeup. I bet the ER folks had fun with that one!

Call time: 10 am
Wrap time: 2:30 am.
