Adventures at Universal: Production Diary, Day 9-18

This is going to be a rather lackluster blog since I waited so long to finish the production diary. The middle week was hell. Very hot and long. Plus I didn’t have a day off for three weeks, as my days off from the shoot were when I had to drdive three hours south to San Diego and work at Sea World and then drive three hours back up. Although it was more like 2.5 hours because I was driving… er… fast.

By the end of the second week I almost fell asleep at the wheel on my way to San Diego. The weather was so nice here (as it almost always is) and working at SW is pretty much like a day off. I didn’t want to go back, honestly. But I am glad I did. The last few days of production went well and I had a good time.

One big thing I came away with on this shoot is the decision to go to BUSINESS SCHOOL. That’s right. Everyone and their mom graduated from film school in L.A. The other PAs I worked with all graduated or were about to graduate. In fact, many people I work with at Sea World got film degrees. I think a business degree could prove more useful to me. Actually, not so much the degree as the education. I’m not interested in getting a job with it. I just want to learn the financial aspects of everything. I want to be like the people who were in charge of Creepshow 3. None of whom went to film school.

Anyway, enough about that. I had my wisdom teeth removed yesterday and I can onl eat soft foods. Yesterda it was ice cream, jamba juice and yogurt. Yuck, I don’t ever want to eat sweet foods again. Today I graduated to cream of wheat which was pleasant. I am looking forward to cream of mushroom soup later. My teeth hurt. Ow. I have to go brush them now, unfortunately. BYE.
