Bored

Slept in till about mid-day after being wired most of the night before. I had some errands to run before that 'first cup of the day'. One of the things that I do hate about the industry is chasing paychecks. The good thing about this industry is that you can get paid weekly if your holding that has a good run. I'm glad that chasing this check took only making phone calls (even though its two weeks behind). Got to the local Starbucks to finally have that 'first cup of the day' with cheese bagel/cream cheese. Hung out for a bit chatting with the Batistas, did some texting and read tweets. On the second cup I came home to make more phone calls to Production Companies about proposal on Los Angeles Noir. But for some reason I wasn't into it. I did manage to get out some e-mails. The only thing I seem to be wanting to do was lay on the couch to nap. What I can't get is how I can wake up bored? I nibbled on a couple of tortillas with guacamole which took the edge off. After a few hours later and more boredom, plus watching TV while my mind was running through the list of things I should be doing.  For the last meal of the day once again boredom was leading my stomach, after a few rounds of debating with myself I decided on red all meat burrito with taquitos and a root beer. It was the root beer that was the most satisfying. My mind was flashing on root beer floats, I almost run out the door for one.

All Nighter

Yesterday I got the call to go to work at 9pm, (fuck was the first thing I thought).
Getting a late call (industry term) usually means you're doing an all night and maybe half of the day. It's not that you're doing all nighters, its that you've been up most of the day before you got the call to work an all nighter. Meaning; say you're up sense 9AM-go to work at 9pm-you've been up already 12hrs; now add on the hours you've got to work-fuck. During the night at work I posted some pix of what we where doing. Now what I did for meals. Before going off to work I had a BLTA sandwich (dinner/breakfast). I started my night the same way I start my days when I commute to work, stop off at local Starbucks for a cup of java for the drive (the good thing working nights-no traffic), no banana, no bagel/cream cheese. Once at work I was craving something salty. Craft service had some mix nuts to much on (I had about two pailfuls). We didn't break for coffee or lunch; we where out to beat the hours (more about that later). The work was rather easy with the crew I was working with (another words guys who think it through). Got done with what we had to do and yes we beat the hours-ya! Now for the downfall, on the way out I snagged a Milkyway & Three Musketeers Bar-what the fuck was I thinking? Bad habit to eat sugar for the rush to stay awake for the drive  home. Once home and sugar rush was over I crashed! Today when I woke up mid-day I pedaled my ass over to Starbucks for my 'first cup of the day' with a cheesy bagel/cream cheese. Stay outside drinking my java and watching people go about their daily life. Came back home to made a few calls on scripts thinking of having 'Taste of Texas' flaco taco (BBQ sausage) for last meal of the day.

working the phones

Got up around 11AM, why I don't know but I did. Took off to the Apple Store in Pasadena to get a replacement for my iPod Classic which was stolen at work about a week ago. Wasn't hungry but craving that 'first cup of the day'. Like a little kid with a new toy I rush home to get it synced up, the craving for the 'first cup of the day' was getting stronger as I was downloading my music among other stuff. After iPod Classic was ready I got my ass over to Starbucks for that 'first cup of the day', cheesy bagel/cream cheese. The face behind the counter belong to the barista that tempted me into going to 31 flavors (Damn You Rachel). She like an Anime Voodoo Witch with powers of persuasion. There's no fighting it or her, must be strong against her Anime Voodoo Hex. After the second cup I headed home to make calls about new script that my son wrote. For the last meal of the day it was Chinese, chicken (sweet/sour), chicken garlic, BBQ pork, a small portion of noodles and egg rolls, full but not stuffed, I've been cutting back on portions.

dealing with working & meals

Its been a few days that I have not blog about what the fuck I've been up to on cutting back on intake or better Fat Guy getting down to porn weight. I have been working on a movie reshoots that are in a rush to get it done, that means throw lots of guys at it and do long hours. I started my mornings by hitting the local Starbucks for that 'Big Boy's' coffee, cheese bagel/cream cheese & banana for the commute to work. After working up high (industry talk) get a bit hungry, at AM coffee break I would get another cup of Starbucks at commissary with a banana got earlier or muffin. Back to work
until lunch where I had quesadilla, on weekend the commissary was closed so no lunch. Got home after doing 12 hours or more, Friday night was nachos, Saturday night was red meat burrito & taquitos, Sunday night was Italian Sausage links with sauce and breadsticks. Today after sleeping in, do to no work, got up went to local Starbucks for a cup of java, banana, cheese bagel/cream cheese. Ran some errands, did some laundry now its time for late meal, red meat burrito, not very hungry. Well, that's it for now and enjoy the pin up-why can't I ever have this happen when I'm dining out.
