It’s all attitude, isn’t it?

It just feels like I’m on a downhill slide lately. Sure, my computer was repaired with little trouble, but why did it have to break in the first place? Why is Bank of America starting to charge me $25/month on my account? Why will DirecTV give my buddy a $20 discount but not me? Why does my arm hurt so much lately? Why are they filming so late next door? Why do I keep buying Groupons if I’m not going to use them? Why would they let me order a Prius in February if they don’t intend on ever getting me the car? Why am I driving so poorly lately?

I know the answer to most of these questions and they really don’t mean all that much but it kind of adds up. I think I need a vacation, but from what? And will anything change when I come back?

So I did recognize one actor on the shoot next door, Jaime Ray Newman, or Tess Fontana from Eureka. I tried to point this out to some of my fellow gawkers, but I was the only one geeky enough to watch SyFy shows. She looked tall and willowy on my TV, but it turns out she’s tiny. IMDB says she’s 5’4″ but I bet she’s shorter than that. I thought it looked like her but had to confirm with the Location Manager because she looked like she was in her early 20’s and not her early 30’s like I thought she was. She also had something that looked like an iPhone 3. Weird.

Most of the people on set were constantly texting. TV/Film crews appear to be a weird bunch. My sister, who has worked in the office for a movie (and even had a line in Come See the Paradise agrees with my observation. One of my goals in life is to get a speaking credit in a movie so I can see how many degrees of Kevin Bacon I am from my sister. Probably not something I’ll ever cross off my bucket list, but they always say I should have goals.
