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...
