Done and Almost Done!

We wrapped the principal shooting for the 48 hours movie.  It should be very interesting.  They were editing as they were shooting so I already heard that the footage was looking good.  What an experience.

Have you ever seen the movie, Miss Pettrigrew Lives for a Day?  If not, you have to rent it.  Frances McDormand is one of my favorite actresses, in additional to you, Meryl Streep!  The story takes place in the 30's.  Miss Pettrigrew has a crazy day and throughout the entire film is trying to eat.  She either spills her food or it gets taken away or she has to leave just before she can eat.  In the end, she is asked, "are you hungry" to which she replies, "you have no idea".  Well, that was me this weekend.

On the day we shot the beautiful L scene I had a candy bar.  I know, bad idea right?  Then upon getting home at 2 AM I just didn't think it was right to eat a meal.  The following day I was on my sleep fest, as you'll recall.  I did make some pasta to help me with sleeping during the day for the big 48 hours project but that was all I had.  At midnight we had our  meeting and there were fajitas all prepared and even vegetarian fixings.  I decided since I was going to be awake all night I would have some after a bit.  They put it all away before I got to eat it and poof, they were gone.  So I went to bed at 4 AM and slept as much as possible.  I got up for the family picnic and was famished.  I was there for a mere 30 minutes and had to leave for my first scene to be shot.  The food was on the grille, salmon to be exact.  Boy would I have loved that but nope, it wasn't ready yet.  So my sisters made me a bag of fruit to go and sent me off with a cookie.  I also had a plate of salad my sister, Jenny made.  Unfortunately, I was offered more but had to leave so I wouldn't be late for the shoot.  When I got to the house where we were all carpooling from, they had just had lunch but it was time to go.  So I  missed that boat.  Then we drove to a location that was about 2 exits from the picnic that I had just come from, I was told the next meal would be served at 8 PM.  8 PM!  Did I mention 8 PM??? Fast forward to the 2nd location and 8 PM, I was wrapped for the day.  I had shot my stuff, it went well and luckily had a snack of some leftover pizza and a nutrition bar but I was still starving!  So I had the option to be driven back to my car but Chinese was on it's way and they said there was some veggie fare.  I waited, until about 9:30!  That was NOT 8 PM.  I ate steamed veggies and rice, 2 plates.  I went home and they said you have a call time of 5:30 AM but no worries, there will be breakfast.  When I got there I found out that there WAS breakfast at the house where they all slept.  No breaky for me because I opted out of the public sleepover with strangers.  So, while I was the one who probably got a total of 9 hours of sleep as opposed to their 2 hours total for the duration of the filming, I was the one not eating.  Am I hungry?  You have no idea.
