Shooting film for the movie went great yesterday. We’re working on the filming of John Ware’s Thr33 Days Dead zombie movie. Yesterday we filmed the funeral home scene! Collins Burke Funeral Home let us use the sanctuary for FREE! When I got there I was so excited and shaky that I could barely fill out the waiver form properly. I went to go pick up Gabby and Connie at the Taco Bell and then we went straight on to the funeral home. All the actors filed in. The man from Murray’s Jewelry came with the male jewelry that he was letting us borrow to put on the corpse. The dead guy (who was supposed to be our dead rich guy in the coffin) didn’t show up…so Bill Norris’ friend ended up being the corpse and Red Queen- this make up artist lady from Cullman came down and did a great job on his make up.
In the middle of shooting- while we were shooting the “outside conversation” scene…some folks who had just gotten finished with a funeral in the same sanctuary- came in to get their flowers that people had given them. We had the dead guy already in the coffin w/ full make up on, hands crossed, jewelry on. And we had taken their flowers and decorated the pulpit/ coffin display area with their flowers. It was so awkward when they came in to get the flowers, but…really they are supposed to take them with them when they go and I’m sure the funeral home is not responsible for any flowers left behind after the funeral is over. OMG Red Queen started grabbing pots of flowers and plants and hiding them behind the curtain- pulpit area…The family and workers from the funeral home had already made one trip in to get a load of flowers and after they left she jumped up and started hiding flowers where they couldn’t find them. That was a riot and so awesome.
Lee Johnson wasn’t able to make the shoot yesterday so, we’re going to create a new character and write him into it so he can still be a grave robber in the movie. I just drove home in the pouring rain. There’s a Flash Flood Warning covering Walker county until 3:00 p.m. today. So, actually I’m sitting in my car at the house typing this. It’s raining so hard and sounds so cool that I just decided to stay in the car and type. Dad text me earlier and let me know that a friend of his wants to use the old stand free garage in front of our house as a barn thingy for their horses. I’ve been wanting to tear that old junk room garage down ever since I saw it. Grandpa built it back in the 80’s for Granny’s car, but it’s always been an eyesore- blocking the view of the open field and pond area. I felt like a real manly man yesterday when I climbed up on top of the shed to rip the sheets of tin off with a pick axe or whatever that tool was.
So, there’s a full moon outside right now. I’m feelin’ frisky. Last night Ashley that works at McDonald’s kind of barged in on me in the men’s restroom while I was rinsing my penis off in the sink. I mean, I didn’t actually have my penis out in the sink- I just get some water on my hand and then rinse it off and then dry it with the hand blower. So, when Ashley barged in the restroom to mop, I didn’t actually have my wiener out - it was in the pants, I was just in the process of drying- w/ my zipper open. You’d have to have been there. She went and told all of her employees.- who all know me anyway cuz I’m at McDonald’s like everyday.
