LA sucks, but I love it. Ned your one strange motherfucker. I appreciate the post though. Got me thinking about my time in London.
The amount of down town on one of those shows is incredible. You get up at 5-6 in the morning. You wait for however many people are left in the cast to shower and get ready. Then head downstairs to be greeted by English Breakfast. That's a story within itself. The Classic English Breakfast consist of watered down eggs. At least I think they were eggs. Stewed tomatoes, Mr. T size sausages, mushrooms and hash browns. By the end of the first week I couldn't even look at that shit. If you got lucky you could get a bowl of cereal, but those lucky breaks were few and far between. They don't have coffee makers over there. They have these coffee presses, which I liked. You could make the brew real strong. Help you shit your pants right after the Classic English Breakfast.
After that, we load up on the bus. As always you would have to wait for the two He/She's. Those broads would be arguing over who was gonna wear the leather wristband today. I just couldn't understand them at all. I used to get a real kick out of what they would wear. One day Retardo comes down in this Aztec sweatsuit, and these sunglasses that wrapped around his head. Along with the hoarse main style hair job. I almost pissed my pants. Then Slav comes down in these tight Dolce pants, and when I say tight I mean tight. You could see each one of his balls. One on each side of his crotch. It looked like he was in pain wearing them. Gotta give it up to him though. The guy will do anything to look like an absolute dipshit.
Then on to the location. You basically get there two hours early so a bunch PA's can set up all the shit and the director can find out where the best place to get the shots are gonna be. Once that is done. They say "alright, gentlemen" and give you the directions on what you are supposed to do. So you get off the bus, do exactly what the director tells you, and they tell you to do it again. I think everything is shot to get a close shot and a wide shot. I really don't know. I used to make fun of the Director (GT) AKA Glenn Taylor, who I really liked. I was just good at mimicking his voice. The whole cast and crew used to get a huge kick out of it. That was pretty much every place we had to go.
The house was the same way. I would look for shit to do. I used to borrow money from Austen and go over to the gas station to by all the tabloid papers. They have some great titty pics in those things. It was kind of like prison where you wait for each meal so you could get together and shoot the breeze. Half way through out the whole thing I was destroying shit. Throwing food on the ceiling, eggs across the room. Just anything to kill the boredom. I put a basket on my head once and had a bunch of people gun fruit at my head. Talk about board. It's funny though, you get a lot more creative without T.V, magazines, newspapers.
We had the use of our ipods. They said they were gonna take them away from us, but they never did. Austen had his computer with him. They never took that either. (nerd alert) He had all this strange music on it. Fucking Barry Manilow. I can remember humming Mandy a million times throughout the day. He also had music by these other two guys. Can't remember there name. Was some of the worst shit I have ever heard.
I don't just write post... I blow them away. (Retardo on women episode two)
