Boredom

It's sloooooow today....

karmakeys...I walked into the Bar training, realized it would be a lot of tasting, and figured it was probably better for me not to drink alcohol on the job. ;)

maddykins invited captnsparrow and I to the set of her movie last night. She's props master for a low-budget horror flick called "Shiver." They're filming at the old Brawner Mental Institution in Smyrna. We arrived around 10:30, just as they were breaking for "lunch." She took us on a set tour...dude, I was totally creeped out! Apparently, the building is going to be renovated, so they were able to do whatever they needed to it...the ceiling has been torn, stuff has been drawn and painted all over the walls (including some bloody handprints and the like)...we even got to see a padded room where the padding had been all torn out! The creepiest part was the scratch-marks on the windows of the padded rooms and holding cells...which was NOT the doing of the movie people. Eep.

Went down to where the cast was having lunch, and got to see the ghost-her makeup was fabulous! Very creepy. But it was funny to see her sitting in a chair, in flip flops, eating a popsicle.

We hung out with Maddy until her lunch break was over, but we couldn't stick around to see any of the filming, because I, silly girl that I am, had worn flip flops. Open toed shoes on a set with all sorts of building materials and broken stuff on the floor = bad thing. She probably shouldn't have even taken us on a set tour, but she did anyway. :)

Yes, much tasting this afternoon. But it might make being on the phone that much more fun: "HellooOOoo, this is the Shakeshpearrrre Tavern, tee hee hee!"

I don't think I would have thought twice about wearing flip flops to a movie set either!

hehe

I was so glad you and Wade could come vist, I really enjoyed chatting with you guy's. Getting away from Julie for awhile was nice also.

I'll miss Atlanta though :/ ah well back to school to finish up and get settled agian.

that sounds so damn cool....
you do understand my son, the horror movie nut, is now completely green with envy? and no, that's not movie make-up, either.

It was very cool...and very freaky.

Wish I had pics to share with your son! Unfortunately, I didn't bring a camera.

lesson learned? take cameras! we, your fan base, want to see!

Next time, I definitely will! I suppose I could've taken pics with my cell phone camera...but the lighting was mostly dim and I don't think they'dve come out.
