Production: What's for Lunch?

Again, lack of updates! I know! The short version of things to play catch up: I've been working for the last week and a half on some additional photography for a feature up at Warner Bros. in Burbank. Since it's only additional photography it's a super short job. We prepped last week, we shoot four days this week, there's probably a little bit of wrap next week, and then I'm done.

I was all determined to cook myself a lunch for tomorrow but I just got back a little bit ago from watching True Blood at L's and at this point I think it's just going to be a sandwich. Oh well. I have all kinds of exciting, tasty things from the Whole Foods I'm anticipating the eating of.

I love Whole Foods btw. I'm so underwhelmed by most of the groceries out here. We have access to such fabulous local produce and yet the Ralphs and the Pavillions et al manage to stock the worst stuff. That's probably not local and is definitely not fresh. What up with that?

I do like all the farmers market stuff but it really does get pretty expensive. And none of the markets I've been to can compare to what I was used to back east. Farmers markets in NYC? Lovely. If anyone has any LA suggestions for a good one, I'm all ears. Suggest away.

But the Whole Foods! They stock local and fresh and not hideously expensive! Plus, the stores are so awesome people just have to start making out on top of the apples! Those are some seriously exciting apples. (I swear I witnessed just that while shopping for Passover veggies with G. It was the Whole Foods in Manhattan Beach. If you were looking for someone to make out with amidst produce, you might want to try there...)

Do I really have to wake up at 5:30 again tomorrow? I love that I'm working and I am enjoying this job. But damn. Much more than three weeks of this would be exhausting. And would it not be nice to have another PA in the office? Oh you have no idea...

I am really enjoying being up on the lot at WB though, I've really got to say. I absolutely adore zipping along the back lot in the golf cart. Our golf cart is so zippy! Heh, and all the tourists on the studio tours totally stare at me. It's the "Look! Someone making movies!" stare that's a half curiosity, half envy, full of excitement stare. I know it well because I've done it plenty myself. And this is my industry. I'm silly.

Okay, I'm going to make a sandwich for tomorrow, set the auto on the coffee pot (most brilliant feature ever), and get some sleep. We start shooting on Tuesday and I feel like this is going to be a very, very long week.
