Holy fuck.
This has been a crazy day. I don't really want to write this entry as my bed looks awfully inviting and Kyle isn't even around for me to talk at. Still, this is the kind of day which was so random and awkward that it deserves it's on entry so that I don't forget about it. I have probably forgotten most of the things that happened already but whatever.
So, as one or two of you might actually know, today was supposed to be the last day for us to film Turner and Walters. Through some weird twist of fate, I've managed to get like the last five Sundays off which we've mostly used for filming. Getting over a month of Sundays off is pretty weird, and I don't think the people at Farmer Jack are very happy about it. I really don't like asking for the same day off over and over again as that means I don't get any more time off during the week which just makes for a really tired Paul. But fuck. I just wanted to be done. We've put so much work into the filming of this stupid movie and Stank and I were looking forward to seeing it completed.
And as I am sure you've figured out by now, that wasn't happening. I told everyone to meet at my house at 12, Turner was the only one that got there on time. Stank showed up a little late, which wasn't that big of a deal, and then it took Walters well over an hour to get ready. He is like a girl.
So, when Walters got there our plan was to show up at Elizabeth's house and drag her outside. She wasn't with us because apparently she is mad at Turner for some random irrational female reason. We wanted to eat first so we stopped by the McDonalds on Rochester. We stopped there on purpose because previously Turner had informed me that Natalie worked there. If you don't know who Natalie is, you probably aren't up to speed on your Paul History. That doesn't matter. I was all gung ho about going to see her because it seemed very cool at the time.
Oh. And I guess we should mention that 3/4's of us had costumes on. I was in a suit, Stank was dressed up in the weirdest fucking costume you'll ever see, and Turner had the K'N'W'K mask on. Walters was too scared to wear anything. We got lots of looks. I plan to go back one day soon and totally say hi.
So, we made it inside McDonalds and Natalie was totally working the drive thru. I bought Walters an apple juice for no apparent reason. There might have been a few chances for Natalie to see me but I did a pretty good job of hiding and being really quiet just in case she would recognize me after like three years. Even though I was totally up for seeing her, the whole talking thing was way too much for me. We found some seats, ate some food, and waited for Elizabeth. She never called and then Turner decided we shouldn't go to her house so we tried calling her a billion more times. It didn't work and so we ended up at Kimball, filming everything we possibly could without her.
After Kimball it was back to my house and then to Turner's where we did all the filming we could for the day. We could Elizabeth one last time and she actually answered the phone for the first time and broke all of our hearts. I think I hated her for a few minutes, but then it was back to wanting to marry her again. She has great eyes. ::sigh::
Andrew Rusin's internet doesn't seem to be working anymore and I'm not very happy about this.
So, fuck. I'm thinking and typing at like a million miles a minute. There were so many random things that happened during all of this. Turner managed to trip over a stick that he moved out of the way so that he wouldn't fall. And we got it on tape. Turner sang a lovely little song and called it Badger Love. We got that on tape too. Walters did some crazy ass shit and it was probably awesome. I'm not even sure anymore.
We probably ended up at my house to play videogames but not after randomly passing by Lauren, the inspiration for our entire movie. We also managed to get the teaser trailer for Turner and Walters 2 shot, which is probably funnier than the entire first movie. It will probably be online sometime next year.
I can't even think of the rest of the shit that went down during the day. I know there was plenty of random-ass moments that somehow made the overwhelming shitty-ness of not finishing our movie worth it. Let's just say the day culminated in Turner writing "Turner and Walters" on a plate using mustard and then spilling Pepsi all over the table.
I guess the day could be best described the same way I feel about Elizabeth. I want to hate her as much as I possibly can, but try as I might, the overwhelming greatness of her personality her just makes me happy and totally willing to have hot sex with her. That's the kind of day we had.
