Day 1 - The Stink Eye
I began working at Parmount Studios yesterday and it was a fantastic experience. I'm not sure how I manage to get the jobs where my bosses feed me, but we went out to Sur for lunch. It was one of the main ladies' birthdays so they took her out and made me tag along. I say "made" because I really hadn't planned on going since I don't know them all that well AND it's an expensive place. It turned out to not be as expensive as I had thought and the food wasn't that bad (I got a turkey burger and the turkey part was insanely dry, but the salad I had was awesome and the taste I had of their food and the cobbler was pretty good). One of the other ladies picked up the tab, which I felt bad about, but I was scared to shove money at her to offer helping. There were also cupcakes that I ended up saving until the ride home. The cupcakes were awesome. By the time we got back I had actually missed orientation and my main boss, Christina H., got me out of being in trouble since they made me go to lunch and it wasn't *completely* my fault, though I should have said something. I just didn't want to ruin Chris's birthday lunch. They all seemed to be having so much fun and I know Kelli was super stressed all day, so she probably needed that little break. Anyway, I missed orientation and when we got back Christina gave me a tour. Our first stop was the basement of one of the big buildings (I can't give a lot of detail, I had to sign my soul away) to grab some stuff and they were working on a set up above. We found what she was looking for and apparently surprised the hell out of her. I guess they're not used to finding crap down there. When we got back up from the basement we were getting in the go-cart and I saw Zachary Quinto standing maybe 10 feet away. He was wearing a gray hoodie with the hood on and since everyone already knows he's filming Star Trek I think I'm okay to say he was there for that... And had his eyebrows done. And was giving me some evil glare the entire time we were trying to drive away. I tried to offer one of those half smiles out of courtesy and I didn't want to get on Sylar's bad side, but that didn't help. The guy he was talking to turned as we were driving to stare as well and I was pretty much creeped out. I just want to say - I thought Sylar was taller. After that we went around to the rest of the set so I know where I'm going to be going for the next few months, I met a bunch of hot guys, annnnd I learned to drive a go-cart. I was there from 8:30 AM to 6:30 PM. I left at 6 AM and got home at 8 PM. That's a very long time for me... But worth it. On Sunday I'm taking my family to the screening of Cloverfield so that my mom will stop whining about how I take my friends everywhere with me and also because I want my dad to see the movie in a cool theater.
BTW: If you wanna see sort of the Zach I saw, this site has a couple pictures. Except he was wearing a gray hoodie.
So I was looking for images to make icons from and somehow I stumbled across this picture:
2/10 of a mile? Who the crap made this sign?! Anyhoo...
I will post sometime before next Sunday with a buttload of icons. I promise!
