Eminem - "Lose Yourself"

I knock on shays door.
"Austin, it's a little after 10. We should get going soon."
"Huh... What... Did I knock you out of the bed??"
"What?? Haha..! No.. Just, it's almost 11. We should go soon."
"K.. oh, hey!"
"Yeah....?"
"Umm.. Yeah.. Uh.. Nevermind."
8:04pm-
I always get nervous when I'm paying for groceries with this card..
Like somethings not gonna work right.
8:11pm-
Now, five blocks through the ghetto, and up four flights of stairs with 50 pounds of groceries..
But I got all the makings of some great nachos..!
Can't wait!

Philip Glass - "Morning Passages"
12:25pm-
Walk past Austin, asleep on the floor, "Going to get a job. Be back in a little bit."
"Mmhk, good luck, buddy..."
2:19pm-
After pacing the living room for 15 minutes saying he's about to go to the studio but really doesn't want to, Austin stops and turns around.
"Not doing it. Let's go to the park."
And so we did.
8:54pm-
Noreen comes over.
I'm feeling weird.
Not talky.
We find a place to eat in my neighborhood.
9:49pm-
Austin went ahead and bought a small bag of dried fish, minnows, from the Mexican bodega down stairs that we saw last time.
Smells like fish food.
Noreen and I watched as he eats one.
And then gag and spit it out and spends the next ten minutes in the bathroom..
10:34pm-
Noreen has to go home, but Alex may come here from the airport.

Sex Bob-omb - "We Are Sex Bob-omb"
12:12pm-
Woke up.
I remember going to sleep on the couch watching Austin and that girl, Jessica I believe, smoke cigarettes on the window sill.
And then Austin kind of tucking me in bed.
Haaaa... Ooohh Austin.
Taking care of people.
2:39pm-
Me: "Do you think renea Zelwiger is pretty...?"
Stacy: "I think she's hideous. She looks like a fish...! I wanna feed her flakes."
7:21pm-
Phone call:
Shay: "Ok, see you later. God be with you. Godspeed. In God we trust. E Pluribus Unum."
11:23pm-
Got an email saying that the B-unit, the one I would have been with, was to "stand down". Location problems.
I like doing wardrobe for the Onion, but I was very over joyed to get this news.
We celebrate and put on Scott Pilgrim.
5:29am-
Austin burnt popcorn.
The kitchen was filled with smoke and even though that was almost an hour ago, I'm still gagging from the smell.

Kings of Leon - "Radioactive"
12:39pm-
For a drug scene:
"Any one have any powdered sugar...?"
"Nope.. Just all this coke."
6:50pm-
Austin is coming over. The plan is to go over the script and story boards and really get this next thing ready to shoot.
7:08pm-
In the subway.
A doo wap group starts.
I give em a minute, then turn to Austin and try to think of something fitting to explain. But before I could, he says "eh.. not great."
Exactly.
7:41pm-
Showed Austin my new favorite band at the moment, the Arctic Monkeys, whom a lot of my song inspiration is coming from for our new band.
He likes em.
So that's good.
9:41pm-
Austin: "Is this still.. jammy jam and the hooligans..?"
9:42pm-
"Oh my god, Zane. It's only 9:42..."
"And were sitting here in my living room. Filming each other.."
"Hahaha!! We are literally sitting here filming each other..!?"
10:50pm-
"And, right here, you have to look real close, is the scar from a car wreck.. So, there's MY street cred."
"Oh, what, did a pebble cut your finger..??"
2:07am-
Wanted to flip someones table over.
An annoying chinese guy telling me to "go sit down". I was one inch from flipping his table over in the most polite way.
The bouncer saw what was up and came over and helped me out. So I didn't.
I've never been kicked out of a place before.
Hopefully one day, though.
3:05pm-
Some guys asked a girl who's hanging out with us to to take their picture.
Me: "I'm gonna be in this picture."
Austin: "I know you are."
And so it was.

10:56pm-
A big, fat, gross, ugly man with a chipped tooth walks up to me while I'm sitting in the subway waiting for the train with Noreen, stands in front of me and says "are you gay?".
I don't look especially gay tonight.
"No."
"Oh. Ok."
"Now get away from me."

Phoenix - "Fences"
:::Didn't take any notes. Didn't feel like it...
Summary?
Allison and I met up at Metro North Station at scary 125th where it was freezing and soooo windy.
We took that train to way up state, heading to Neils birthday party.
Met up with Matt, Stacy and George. And that's who we were with the whole time.
After 11 the open bar wasn't open anymore.
So everyone was moved down stairs to the real bar.
No one in the whole bar was attractive at all.
But a lot of them thought they were.
I hung out with Stacy and Allison while we were down there.
Then Matt and Stacy gave us (Allison, George and I) a ride back to manhattan.
George wanted to go karaoking. So allison and I, though we just wanted to go home, agreed to go with him.
Karaoke to full, we went to a dive bar and after two pitchers of piss beer, went to get some pizza and go home. Finally.
::::Notes in no specific order:
-Searched and finally found the fur that went around shays coat.
And then wore it.
Sometimes I wear fur now.
-Had awkward conversations with Allison on the long train ride to upstate.
-Talked to Stacy about girls. "how do you know you're gonna marry her..??"
"I don't. I just feel like I am."
"Hmm.."
"Oh...! What are the odds. Look who just texted."
-Drank a lot through out the night.
Nothing.
-Austin was supposed to go to the party too but couldn't make it last minute.

Friday
5:47am-
At the Onion.
Waiting with a few others to to load up and go to location.
Stacy gets here.
"When you're waking up at 4:45 in the morning you have to think, somewhere down the line, you made a bad decision or two.."
::::drove an hour out to Yonkers. Now back in the city, in Harlem, in a neighborhood that has a school on the street and feels kind of old school Sesame Street. :::::
1:08pm-
Since I happen to have a walkie outside, I real quick got the job of 'person who says GO and then relays what the director is saying to the person acting' person.
1:14pm-
Stacy: "Was that guy this morning a real cop...?"
Seth (casting guy): "Yup."
Stacy: "So, was that a real gun..?"
Seth: "Umm.. Yup. Probably.
Wait...He had a gun?!"
1:21pm-
Lunch time. Place your orders.
Almost got 'jerked snapper.' turtle..??
2:28pm-
Picked up an older lady to portray a cop later today. (Old ladies really like to talk. About themselves...)
"...and one time I saw a police women who looked a lot like me. She was very attractive and had these very long finger nails....."
Hah.
3 and on-
It's not funny anymore.
Older cop lady is so annoying.
Get me away from her.
5:34pm-
As soon as we all got in the van, Matt, the Line Producer, turned in his seat and said, "Zane. You know that lady, in the cop uniform.. ok. Well she was saying....-"
A long funny conversation started from there.
7:14pm-
Fell asleep on the way back to the city.
Woke up to hear the directors joking about some of the bad actors they had to deal with...
"Ok, why don't you try it like.. Ok, imagine if you were a good actress. Now do it like that."
"Try it like, if you were the kind of actress that did a lot of jobs. Because you didn't suck. Try it like if you were an actress that didn't suck."
"Maybe, pretend, or ACT, like you have emotions. And then used them."
Haha...

Wish it was a little more... Better.
DISCLAIMER:
Austin and I were just IN it. Didn't actually help write, set, shoot, or cut it.
2:49pm-
Stacy: "how long do you have to breast feed?"
Me: "I don't know...? Nine months...? The longer the better."
"Says who??!"
"I don't know... Psychologists..?!!?"
"No... I will for a few months. That's it."
"Why?!"
"I don't want a baby hanging off my tit!!?"
3:11pm-
Weston said theyre passing NY and waving and sent this video to me.
Love those guys...
10:02pm-
Left work with a weird, anxious feeling. Listening to the song Be Calm really helped though.
So I went home and spent a while learning how to play it.

I'm fine with that.
11:23am-
I wake up.
Bahh!!?
12:55pm-
Woman behind me in line to sone other girl: "did you check that 50% off table..??? That perfume?
What is it?
All of it? It's ALL Paris Hilton?
Oh, and Brittany spears. Well, I guess that's why it's on that table."
1:11pm-
The lady checking out my return looks so much like Ursula from the Little Mermaid...
She has a lot of china and her make up is for some reason very blue.....!?
Maybe even a 'beauty mark' in the same place..
Creeepy...
1:19pm-
Grand Central Station has a big CyberCrime display.
I saw myself walking trough the lobby on a big hanging globe.
I looked pretty good.
4:34pm-
Sat down at the studio with a Burger King bag, talking to Jeremy.
Jeremy: "..Maybe I'll go home and take a nap. Wondering how long it would take me to fall asleep. I didn't really get a lot of sleep last night. And I don't know why. Zane, do you happen to have fries in that bag??"
"Haha!! I do. May I offer you some?"
6:57pm-
I come back to the studio with a Islamic tunic (for the Onion wardrobe) and show Stacy.
She asks Neil to try it on to see if it would fit..
He puts it on and then turns around to face us, throws his hands in the air and in a middle eastern accent shouts "HEELLOOOO!! WELCOME! WELCOME!"
And says numerous other funny Things....
I guess you'll just have to trust me.
Then put his leather jacket on over the tunic and pops the collar and, still in an accent, says some lines from an Elvis song.

7:52pm - 9:53pm-

After hitting the snooze button since 8:30am (literally/exactly 14 times) I finally make myself get up.

The Strokes - "You Only Live Once"
11:57am-
Jeremy: "Umm... Zane, since you recently dressed a paraplegic that makes you the most qualified to help me.... I need to put a band-aid on my back...."
"hahaha!!! sure, buddy.."
>> So.... There's been a whole lot of talk about Justin Massler in our office lately. It's jeremys brother and he is a fugitive running from the law at the moment for stalking Ivanka Trump.
He helped Red Line make 'The Eyes of the Mothman' documentary which is about the mothman, aliens, and curses.
Anyway, yesterday he sent us a video of himself claiming that the aliens made him do it, etc..
So we put it online to help push 'Mothman' which is coming out on dvd in a few weeks. (Those were his intentions for the video.) Then we sent a few press releases about the situation and watched the fire grow.
From there, the video has been showing up on multiple gossip sights like TMZ and other sites and even has a conversation going with Perez Hilton.
Today we found that he did a photo shoot with a famous photographer yesterday, too.
The video on the gossip blogs:
12:27pm-
Jeremy got a call from a prison. They have his brother.
He was trying to figure out how to set up an account to accept the collect call but Austin was talking.
"Could you be quiet..."
"You can go into the other room if you need."
"My brother is in jail and I'm trying to follow the directions to take this call so if you could just be quiet..!!"
"Sorry.... You can go in--"
"SHUT UP!!"
that's the point were I start cracking up as quietly as possible! Hahaha!!!
Jeremy being harsh is so... Funny!?!
2:15pm-
Austin to Stacy: "Now that I don't have to be at work every day I can go out and make some money."
:::Austin had to run to the studio cause matt and Stacy didn't have a key to the elevator:::
11:09pm-
I walked into the studio and fell into my place at my desk. Austin handed me a giant beer.
11:11pm-
Sean: "...And I was telling some funny jokes."
Austin: "Sean, you were drunk. And very obviously so."
11:25pm-
Sean: "does this look better?"
"no..! It looks like you spilled beer all over your pants and then steamed it!?"
(which is what happened.)
11:27pm-
"Sean, you shouldn't have had that shot of whiskey before we left.."
"I didn't. That was you."
"Oh. Yeah."
11:29pm-
In the green screen studio-
Austin: "Where are the cameras? Oh, there it is. And it's pointing that. Ok. Were in play. Were in play, Zane."
12:10am-
About to leave the studio, but first we all sat in silence with our eyes closed and listened to a song-
To get the right feel of the moment, take three sips of brandy out of a flask, drink 24 ounces of beer, then listen to Colly Strings by the Manchester Orchastra.
>>> we met up with Allye, Dan and Noreen and had a night to busy to keep track of.

Thursday
Kings of Leon - "King of the Rodeo"
10:14am-
Austin and I go get coffee. He tells me about the detectives that came in the office the other day.
About how he gave them the run-around.
Me: "They're detectives. They're not like cops. You can lie."
"Yeah, they expect it. They love that. They love the back and forth."
8:14pm-
I have a weird OCD thing where I always check my fly before I leave the dressing room.
Then again, I almost always try to put my shoes on and forget about my pants...!?
8:26pm-
WHOA!?!
Good thing!?!!!
My fly was actually down this time!!?!
8:28pm-
A rare thing!
At Urban I found a pair of my standard black jeans, some khaki jeans and even the ever allusive BLUE jeans that actually fit right, all in my size!
I totaled it up in my head-
$198. Ok.
Cashier: "Wish I was you... Levis for 5 bucks..."
"What...??? Why???"
"Who cares!? They're $5!"
Khaki jeans were for some reason $4.99!!!?!!?
I wish I had someone to share my excitement with.......!?
Where's shay!!??!

Blonde Redhead - "Luv Machine"
7:14am-
Arrive at the onion. I'm a little early.
No one else is even here yet.
8:11am-
Text from Stacy:
"How's it going?"
"Well, I just assumed that everyone wouldn't bring what they needed and I would have to find something for them.
So everything is going just how I planned."
"What?!"
9:41am-
Casting director walks into wardrobe:
"Just a heads up, Jill is next and she'll be here at about noon."
"Ok. Sounds good."
"Oh, also, I booked an Asian school girl last night--"
"AAAWWLLL RIIIGGGHHT!!!
oh... You mean for... Ok. Nevermind.."
He got the joke.
10:52am-
Talking to hair/make up girl. Apparently she works at Union Pool!
(((Rondi.)))
"We go there all the time..!"
4:40pm-
Rondi: "I follow this blog all about nail polish, and this girl had painted like tie-dye on her nails. It was crazy."
"Sounds like someone has to much time.
.......on her hands.
..get it.."
7:28pm-
Oh, just dressing people to look like Shaggy, Velma, Daphne and Freddie.
Coming out good!
7:48pm-
The director of this piece just informed us that they shouldn't look exACTly like them. Just like a modern version of them if they worked in an office.
Buh.
This would have been good to know before we ran around shopping for things we didn't need.
8:17pm-
The Production Manager, Max, was cast as Freddie because they didnt have anyone else to do it.
We put the ascot on Max while he was working just to see it on him.
Rondi: "dont tell him he doesn't have to wear it."
8:28pm-
End result was a success. Everyone in at the Onion shoot gathered around to watch and laugh.
2:11am-
On my way to Brooklyn- not because I want to be, but because were bringing the gear back in the morning and it takes both of us- and a drunk and/or high guy stops and talks to me for a while on the subway platform.
Starts off about being a Ginger. "wow...! Your beard is really showing it!! Can you see it in mine..?? I'm a day walker. You can't really tell except when I have a little beard going..."
2:35am-
The train finally comes.
"Ok, well, I'm gonna smoke a bowl inside this car. You don't wanna be near me. Seriously. But it was good meeting you."
He runs off to the other side of the car and sticks his head back in long enough to holler, "GINGERS FOREVER!"
Nice enough guy.
Glad he's gone.
2:51am-
The guy runs through the car, from one car-to-car door and leaves through the other end door yelling "GINGERS FOREVER!" as he passes me.
3:08am-
Finally at Austins.
He's not answering his phone.
Or his door.
I knock louder and louder.
Someone across the hall opens the door and asks if I need to use their phone.
Buuhhh....
3:17am-
I go back and knock on the back door, near their rooms. I hear movement.
Finally someone on the other side of the door says, 'helloo....???'
'hey... It's me, Zane...!'
Caleb opens the door.
'Oh hey..!? I heard the knocking but I just kept trying to tell myself it was something else. Like people doing it on a different floor or something...'
We walk inside and we wake Austin up. He's asleep on the couch. RIGHT by the front door.
Austin: "Oh.. hey......
........wanna have cigarette..?"

David Cronenberg film - "Scanners"
5:36pm-
Doing voice over work with tim for the scanners tribute short we made because the camera messed up (he messed up) and audio didn't record.
7:39pm-
Left the studio.
Austin and matt have been talking in the office all day.
Then Austin and I had a short talk about what they were talking about:
Pretty much, we were offered a job as essentially a desk person for the studio. To do what we pretty much do now except with pay. Only, we'd have to be at the studio EVERY DAY to do it. So we wouldnt be able to do shoots and other things like that.
Matt made it clear with Austin, who made it clear to me, that this is not recommended.
The other thing was:
Tim was moving. He would still have his office at Red Line, but would be there much less and was looking to rent it out.
First offer goes to Austin and I.
$300 a month.
$150 each.
We would have full access to all the hardware and software that Tim has (which is a lot) plus the Red Line gear (light + grip), we would still be a part of Red Line and have first dibs on jobs that they did, aaand be able to move about freely, not having to come in at certain times each day, but rather whenever we wanted to.
hhmm......

Reverend Vince:
This is just one of his songs. They all have such a good, comforting feel no matter what he sings about.
12:27pm-
Austin: "And i just don't see myself as someone who would do that. Be the public urinator. But... Chris was telling me the whole thing in detail and humor."
2:09pm-
Someone named Alison walked into the studio.
A friend of Matt and Neils who I met at the wedding.
Austin: "Oh... Did I mention Alison was coming here to meet with us about her audition tape were going to record....?"
"No. You didn't."
5:41pm - 6:35pm-
We set up lights and camera in the studio to prepare for when Matt and Neil go to Kentucky to interview Dave Evans.
I was the test subject and got interviewed.
Hopefully I'll get that footage to see how it turned out.
6:54pm-
Austin: "To be honest, I'm not really a big fan of The Terminator."
Neil: "Well we know. It's kind of more of a... Man.. Thing."
12:21am-
"..And I said to myself, 'self, I'm done with this shit. I've got Jesus in my head, and I don't need this.'"
Reverend Vince
2:31am-
Upon leaving the bar Austin gave me his keys and then detailed instructions as to where the potato bread was.
"Bottom of the rack. The metal rack. Right of the stove. ....Left of the fridge."
And the buffalo chicken.
And then miracle whip.
And jack Daniels mustard.
And sharp cheddar. .
So I did what he said and went to his house and made a sandwich.
A double decker, layered, club sandwich.
"..and then there's some apple juice in the fridge. And I'd be lying if i said you couldn't have any."

Listening to: Fleet Foxes - "Meadow Lark"
Today is somber as well..
Dont feel like doing anything..
9:05pm-
At a superbowl party at Noreen and Allyes listening to people talk about the bible and church.
These are conversations I'm afraid to join because... buh...! Do you even know what you're talking about...!?!?
11:15pm-
Shay gets here right as Noreen, Allye and Daniel and I start playing speed scrabble.
He joins in the next game and wins every one until we stop playing.
He's a quick one.
-
Someone said I sometimes seem crazy.
I told her the story of why I sometimes feel like I might be too...
Then I fought her.
And pinned her down.
And smothered her with a pillow.

Somber...
Grave...
Heavy with thought.
10:56am-
Woke up in the Penn Plaza. Its a really nice big hotel across from madison square garden.
12:54pm-
Austin, chris and I are in the elevator heading down and Austin breaks the silence with the most cartoon sounding fart.
Very childish, but we all start cracking up.
5:55pm-
Noreen and I sit on the floor while the rain pours outside and listen to a few Velvet Underground songs cause I've never heard any.
Good Vibe to it...
Good feeling right now.
6:07pm - 6:09pm-
We were some how talking about Disney movies and her favorite is The Little Mermaid.
And she explains why:
Noreen: "When i was little, about 7 or 8, my family went to the beach. Right when i got there i saw this boulder that was half sticking out of the water, just like the one in the little mermaid. Ya know, when she sings the song and then jumps on the rock and waves splash all around her..
So, i went out there and climbed up on the rock. I sat on the top of it, just like she did. I started singing *aahh ah aahh.. ah aahh aah....*
And then, in the middle of my song a huge wave came and smashed my face into the rock!!
There was blood everywhere and i just remember running through the sand, my hands on my chin, crying and screaming and running. But i didnt know where i was running because, and i remember this image vividly, i couldnt stop staring at the blood dripping in the sand...
But then my dad snatched me up and he took me to the Hospital.
7 stiches....."
Me: ".....AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAHAHhahahahahaaaahahaha!!!!!!!!"
10:35pm-
Allye: "how do you know when the scones are done??"
Me: "Tooth pick it."
Noreen: "Ooh, scones..! I have some jam too..!"
Dan: "....how do you use jam to tell if scones are done..?!?"
Hahaha!!

Good Vibe to it...
Good feeling right now.
6:07pm - 6:09pm-
We were some how talking about Disney movies and her favorite is The Little Mermaid.
And she explains why:
Noreen: "When i was little, about 7 or 8, my family went to the beach. Right when i got there i saw this boulder that was half sticking out of the water, just like the one in the little mermaid. Ya know, when she sings the song and then jumps on the rock and waves splash all around her..
So, i went out there and climbed up on the rock. I sat on the top of it, just like she did. I started singing *aahh ah aahh.. ah aahh aah....*
And then, in the middle of my song a huge wave came and smashed my face into the rock!!
There was blood everywhere and i just remember running through the sand, my hands on my chin, crying and screaming and running. But i didnt know where i was running because, and i remember this image vividly, i couldnt stop staring at the blood dripping in the sand...
But then my dad snatched me up and he took me to the Hospital.
7 stiches....."
Me: ".....AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAHAHhahahahahaaaahahaha!!!!!!!!"
10:35pm-
Allye: "how do you know when the scones are done??"
Me: "Tooth pick it."
Noreen: "Ooh, scones..! I have some jam too..!"
Dan: "....how do you use jam to tell if scones are done..?!?"
Hahaha!!

Friday
9:53am-
At the Onion dressing people again.
Talking with Stacy about what I'll have to do on Wednesday, the day I'm here on my own. She looked through the schedule and made a face.
"What.... What's that look about??"
"...Uumm... You'll have to dress a paraplegic."
"How do you.... Like.. Do you actually DRESS them..???"
".......I have no idea..."
1:34pm-
Stacy said she had never ever seen an episode of Sesame Street..?!?!
I pulled up one of my favorite Sesame Street songs.
Letter B.
11:21pm-
Noreen called.
Said there was a party tonight but she wasn't gonna go.
I said I'm gonna try to get up early anyway. She said "oh, good. Call me when you wake up..!"
"I mean, it'll be early... Like.. 6 or 7 or so..."
"Good! I need to get up early."
"great... Now I really HAVE to get up early...!?"
"Yup. Guess so."
11:26pm-
Called Austin back:
He and Sean and Criss Cross are meeting his two girl friends from his home town somewhere in Bedford.
I'm still gonna try to get up early though.
12:08am-
In the subway waiting for the train..
A group of 5 highschool kids are drinking beer out of sacs and something that's not coffee related out of a Starbucks cup.
12:11am-
More come down.
Apparently some of them know each other.
And the second group has a giant bottle of wine in a grocery bag.
What is even happening here..!?!
12:37am-
I meet up with Austin, Sean, Chris and Austins friends from north Carolina, Midori and Renée.
When Midori hears I live in the upper east side she says she loves that cause that's where Blair is from. i said i dont like Blair. Our next conversation is about which Gossip Girl character we like best and why.
"Finally someone I can relate to!!"
2:01am-
Austin is in the front of the cab talking to the driver:
"Look a that... Drunks. See, it's those kinds of people that are ruining this city."
2:26am-
At some bar where everyone is dancing.
After a while of watching the crowd and sizing things up, i go up to a black woman who had the biggest (best) ass in the bar and asked her to dance.
She did.
"Ok... I'm just following you! Teach me some moves...!"
2:99am-
Austin, laughing hysterically, leans over to me:
"Go dance some more...!"
I look around... "Ok. That 5."
"5? What..?"
"5. See that group of 5 girls on the floor..? (5 black girls (or women)) I'm gonna dance with them."
:::::UPDATE::::
They loved me.

Late-
Get to the studio.
Austin and Brett the intern and Jeremy are there. But not matt.
So that's good.
3:45pm-
Matt: "I hate stevo."
"Why?"
"Cause I got in a fight with him."
"Like, a real fistfight???"
"Almost. He was just drunk and all messed up on drugs and being an ***hole."
7:42pm-
Girl on the subway platform near me is listening to headphones and just started wrapping.
She's not drunk and knows that we can hear her.
This is when I need a 'get off the stage' buzzer.
11:34pm-
At 8:15 I laid down to take a 20 minute nap. Just woke up.
So tired.
Going to bed.

Wednesday
Listening to: Hot Chip - "Out At the Pictures"
6:41am-
To early.
Step outside. Everything looks greasy cause of the smooth layer of ice over it.
7:44am-
Trains were a mess.
It's raining ice and water.
I'm glad I left early. And got to the set early.
8:01am-
Stacy still not here.
Someone from the Onion calls my phone asking if I'm filling in for her and where i was.
I said I'm here!
8:09am-
I'm trying to figure out what goes on who and pretending to know what I'm doing.
I do ok for a little bit and right before i get lost, Stacy shows up. whew..
12:10pm-
Just passed a big, chubby red headed Irish looking guy dressed in a loin cloth and fur cloak.
That's what happens when youre walking around in Screen Gems.
"Capital one commercial?"
"Probably."
2:02pm-
Go back into Screen Gems after going out to get something and it's super crowded.
Full of Rachel Ray audience.
9:41pm-
Finally almost home.
Its been an exhausting 13 hour day..
Walking past a trail of Nutter Butter wrappers spread out through the subway..
11:31pm-
Noreen makes the trek this time.
Were trying to decide what movie to watch and she asks if I can be serious for 5 minutes..!?
"Ok.. But not consecutively."

Stacy comes in the studio. Tells me she wants me to come to the shoot tomorrow.
At Screen Gems studio.
At 8am.
11:55pm-
Shay comes back from the corner store with ice cream sandwiches and ice cream twix.
He sets the bag down and i try to grab it with my feet but he snatches it away.
"No..! No, monkey boy! Bad. I'll take your bananas away...!"
12:00am-
I asked shay a question.
"Do you think I can pay attention to you right now..?! I'm playing a game! A game I am losing flatulently!!"
12:01am-
"want your other thing?"
"Nah. Not right now."
"See, I thought I didn't either, but I was left wanting. Wanting a twix!"

Monday
Listening to: Blind Pilot - "Oviedo"
10:39am - 11:14am-
Stacy comes into the office and we start off talking about RITE, the movie she saw the other night about an exorcist. Then we got into an extensive conversation about demon possession in her family and curses and soap under cherry trees with pins in them....?! It was the most frightening thing I've ever heard.
11:45am-
Austin comes in the office:
"Well, Stacy, I've got some pictures that might cheer you up...."
I realize what he's talking about.
"Nooo..... Those are just gonna make her sick."
2:31pm-
Shay came by the studio to get some DVDs I was trying to make for his dance choreographer.
Weird that I'm mixing these worlds.
2:46pm-
"You can use the wifi here."
"Ok. Cheat me in. Brodog me into the system."
8:41pm-
Austin leaves the studio.
"Alright. See ya later buddy."
8:46pm-
I leave the studio.
Austin is standing right outside smoking a cigarette.
"Oh, hey there buddy...!"
We walk to the train.
I keep walking to go to the store and we part ways again.
8:51pm-
I walk to the stairs to the subway and Austin is still standing outside.
On the phone now.
I walk past, "this is just getting awkward now."
8:55pm-
Austin walks down into the subway and stands near by on the platform.
We don't say anything.
11:11pm-
Heading to Brooklyn to hangout with Austin for a little bit but the trains are taking so long cause they're preparing for the blizzard tomorrow.
I call Austin and tell him I'm not gonna make it and go to Noreen's instead.
2:53am-
We had a long talk.
Apparently I was stopping, or, holding back from her, emotionally, (which I knew I was) but I didn't change things physically.
Which, even though we don't DO anything, made it look like I was only after one thing. Which is NOT the type of guy I want to be.
But I was. Holding back. Withdrawing even. I had recently become afraid of being too sweet or romantic or thoughtful in fear she would like me more. Because I didn't know if I wanted that.
But I didn't slow things down physically because i didn't want her to know I was feeling that way.
But I forgot that girls are perceptive of emotional vibes and energy and stuff.
She too, had recently seemed closed off. And that's why.
I hadn't been talking much lately in the last few days, and she was feeling..... 'empty'. My words, not hers.
I explained love languages...
I've been spending TIME with her. So to me, things were fine. I was showing her how i felt by spending time.
We did things.
But I didn't TELL her how I felt. And that was her language.
I went on:
"See how I have my hands in your hair..? I've been twirling it in my fingers all night..? That's me saying 'i love your hair! I wanna touch it and feel it and I think it's great..!' but to you, it's just me saying 'my hands are bored.' now if I translate physically twirling your hair into YOUR language it would be me SAYING 'i think your hair looks really great tonight. It's thick and curly and I want to touch it..!'
I knew her language now.
But im still afraid to use it....

Sunday
Listening to: Beulah - "Score From Augusta"
Phone dead.
No idea what time it is:
Woke up as people started coming out of rooms.
Met some new roommates.
Sarah, I think.
Spent the morning walking around Brooklyn. What a great day!
Warm sun shining down; the snow is white and soft; an over all good crisp feel to the day.
Austin and I head to meet Caleb at a bagel place.
Coffee would really put this great morning over the edge.
Sitting around at Austin house doing nothing. I'm playing with a classical guitar thats really great at sounding haunting and Austin is very busy with a little project he started of taking the head off of an ET toy, twisting paper to look like guts, stuffing them in the neck and then melting red wax on the whole thing. Turning out to be pretty cool.
4:54pm-
"So... What's the plan...? We kind of just.. Flattened the whole day.."
"We did.. Seems like we gave up on today."
"Yeah. I mean, Im wearing these damn house slippers for crying out loud."
"Yeeaah, i was gonna mention that..."
6:59pm-
At guitar center:
"Y'all closed..?"
"Yeah. Well in one minute."
"That's all I'll need..!"
Whew!
7:19pm-
I was totally ready to go home and make some egg sandwiches. Pepper jack cheese, mayonnaise, salt, pepper... Mmm...
But the I walked passed a taco bell... Thought long and hard...
Eggs another night.
7:32pm-
On the way out of the subway I noticed a guy holding a paper that I recognized from Redeemer church.
I thought that was cool that he lived in the same area I did.
He got off on the same side of the street as me.
I walked up to the door and he was right behind me. He lives in the same building!
I take this time to start a conversation and mentioned that I saw he just came from Redeemer. We talked while we walked up the stairs.
He stopped at the fourth floor. My floor.
He went to his door, which was right across from mine..!?
Were neighbors..!
What are the odds!

Saturday
Listening to: Built to Spill - "Goin' Against Your Mind"
12:44pm-
Texts:
Austin: "Hey."
Me: "Hey. Running late. When you thinking of heading to the studio?"
"Whenever. Does running late mean you just woke up?"
"Yeah..."
"I'm running late too, then."
3:14pm-
Finally meet up with Austin at union square. (it was supposed to be closer to 1..)
Were shooting a short, Bereft, today.
First stop- Rickys for blood and a knife.
4:35pm-
At the studio pulling out gear. We realized we need an adapter to hook the mic to the camera.
There aren't any at the studio but I own one.
Looks like I'm going home to get it. Along with extra memory cards and camera batteries.
5:23pm-
Text from Austin:
"Also, bring some sheets if you got em..!"
7:01pm-
I'm back at the studio walking around in the green screen studio waiting for a cab we called to get here.
My knees go weak and I crumble to the floor...
I left it.
The main thing I went to get I LEFT..?!
DAAAANMMNNNN!!!!!!!!
6:48pm-
I call shay. Obviously he doesn't want to get out into this weather and travel all the way to Brooklyn...
6:58pm-
No other options.. I call shay back and after a little more convincing, I got shay to agree to go home (from chris') and get the cable and bring it to brooklyn.
All for the price of a snickers.
Whew. Austin and I sighed a sigh of relief.
7:41pm-
Finally got an SUV cab to stop.
I always feel like we trick them.. They stop thinking we just need a cab ride and once they agree we start folding down seats and loading in all our bulky gear.
They probly make a note to never again stop for people on this corner.
Pretty soon they'll all know what's up and there won't be any cabs left to trick..
10:21pm-
Austin: "Is it time to shoot this?"
11:32pm-
After we dressed the set, set up lights, talked over the shots and how to get them, we realized we don't have a XLR cable, so were working with 1 foot of cable attached to the boom pole.
11:43pm-
And we can't even get the sound to work anyway.*
After a lot of research and trying other options we call it a night.
"We've worn ourselves out all day being producers.."
"True. We should produce all day one day and make sure things work. Like sound. And then when we have all the gear and everything ready, we wake up the next day and change modes. And that we can just....."
"Be artists. Creators. And not have to worry if technical things are gonna work."
*We couldn't just 'not get sound to work'. We actually had a dynamic mic which requires Phantom power which our cameras don't provide.
We'll need to get a battery powered mixer to run through or find a good quality condenser mic.
12:02am-
Austin gives Sean and I a shot of Calebs cheap, gross whiskey.
Not because we want it.
12:07am-
"How you feeling Zane?"
"Kinda sick from that terrible shot."
"Yeah. That's why I don't do it."
12:08am-
"Are you going back to Harlem tonight?"
"Can we not call it hawwrlmb...."
"Are you a little drunk....???!"
"YOOU did this to me...!!"
3:5:55am - 4:14am-
At alex and her roommate Rachels place.
I tried on a few of Alexs sweaters.
And then a few pairs of her pants.
Showed them off to Austin and Rachel.
Eventually ended up in just a beaded Asian robe Alex told me to wear.
I don't know what they thought about my outfits cause they wouldn't stop laughing... But I thought I looked great.
We you don't live in a house with a dress up box, you have to make do.
4:21am-
Austin and I.
On the balcony in our underwear.
It's snowing.
If you were to take this all out of context and not explain how this happened, this situation might seem a little silly..
But it wasnt. More... serene.
4:33am-
Sitting in a chair in the living room by myself at Alexs place looking at a bankys book about to go to sleep on the couch.
A guy walks out of another bedroom, naked.
He sees me: "whoa...!! Hmm... Kinda weird."
"Yup. kinda wierd" I repeat.

No other options.. I call shay back and after a little more convincing, I got shay to agree to go home (from chris') and get the cable and bring it to brooklyn.
All for the price of a snickers.
Whew. Austin and I sighed a sigh of relief.
7:41pm-
Finally got an SUV cab to stop.
I always feel like we trick them.. They stop thinking we just need a cab ride and once they agree we start folding down seats and loading in all our bulky gear.
They probly make a note to never again stop for people on this corner.
Pretty soon they'll all know what's up and there won't be any cabs left to trick..
10:21pm-
Austin: "Is it time to shoot this?"
11:32pm-
After we dressed the set, set up lights, talked over the shots and how to get them, we realized we don't have a XLR cable, so were working with 1 foot of cable attached to the boom pole.
11:43pm-
And we can't even get the sound to work anyway.*
After a lot of research and trying other options we call it a night.
"We've worn ourselves out all day being producers.."
"True. We should produce all day one day and make sure things work. Like sound. And then when we have all the gear and everything ready, we wake up the next day and change modes. And that we can just....."
"Be artists. Creators. And not have to worry if technical things are gonna work."
*We couldn't just 'not get sound to work'. We actually had a dynamic mic which requires Phantom power which our cameras don't provide.
We'll need to get a battery powered mixer to run through or find a good quality condenser mic.
12:02am-
Austin gives Sean and I a shot of Calebs cheap, gross whiskey.
Not because we want it.
12:07am-
"How you feeling Zane?"
"Kinda sick from that terrible shot."
"Yeah. That's why I don't do it."
12:08am-
"Are you going back to Harlem tonight?"
"Can we not call it hawwrlmb...."
"Are you a little drunk....???!"
"YOOU did this to me...!!"
3:5:55am - 4:14am-
At alex and her roommate Rachels place.
I tried on a few of Alexs sweaters.
And then a few pairs of her pants.
Showed them off to Austin and Rachel.
Eventually ended up in just a beaded Asian robe Alex told me to wear.
I don't know what they thought about my outfits cause they wouldn't stop laughing... But I thought I looked great.
We you don't live in a house with a dress up box, you have to make do.
4:21am-
Austin and I.
On the balcony in our underwear.
It's snowing.
If you were to take this all out of context and not explain how this happened, this situation might seem a little silly..
But it wasnt. More... serene.
4:33am-
Sitting in a chair in the living room by myself at Alexs place looking at a bankys book about to go to sleep on the couch.
A guy walks out of another bedroom, naked.
He sees me: "whoa...!! Hmm... Kinda weird."
"Yup. kinda wierd" I repeat.

Friday
Listening to: Clint Mansell - "Holy Dread!"
2:21pm-
I think I've decide:
I'm going to start some bands. A fun band, where I record all the tracks and then make videos with cardboard instruments. And then also a completely different sound- more like film scores of eerie but well composed music.
2:41pm-
Matt: "I'm going to get some food. You won't something?"
Stacy: "....yeah... Get me... A cheese dandwhich."
Matt just stares at her.
"WHAAT????"
Matt: "Nothing.. That's just.. stupid.
.....I don't think you understand the point of eating."
6:48pm-
Jeremy: "I'm not gonna put your name in the blog after all. I'll just put 'our graphic designer...' Just throwing your name in there might be a little left field. People who don't know you will be like 'who is this Zane character...? Where's he coming from??"
Shelly: "But, who doesn't know Zaaaane..???"
Me: "Who doesn't knoow Zaaaane....??"
Jeremy: "Well, up until about a week ago, I didn't know him."
Me and Shelly: "BUT... You do now....!"
Me: "You do now. One more person off my list."
7:08pm-
Took a sip from my flask.
Gaughkk..
9:47pm-
Courtney fed me brussell sprouts.
I love them!
11:41pm-
Courtney let me buy her dinner so l let her make me some kind of hot spiced cider bourbon drink.
It tasted like you always want potpourri to to taste.
She's kind of a specialty beer and bourbon connoisseur.
1:34am-
Now to meet Allye and Noreen at a swing place..?
2:09am-
As soon as I walk into Sessions 73 I get grabbed by Allye and Genni and spun all around on the dance floor.
Some guys are playing live music. Mostly covers of 80's songs. Led Zepplin, Journey, etc..
It was good!
Reminded me of dad.
2:55am-
Bar fight..!
First one I've ever seen.
Exciting!
