Emosnail Makes International Television Debut
Today I reported in to work at Bee Busters for my first day this summer. I get into the office and I'm like "my, the office looks so clean!" "yeah National Geographic is here?" "what?" "Dave wants you to report to Laguna Beach for filming" ...
And so I spent my morning being filmed. Nat'l Geo has spent a week or so filming Dave & his Bee Busters antics, and this was the last day. I guess they were reinacting something some noob technician did earlier, only with me acting as the noob technician.So I got to you know, open the door five times, step out of the car five times.. etc. No wonder it takes so long to make movies.
Scenes with dialogue were filmed with the dialogue, and then without it ("for the international audience")
The craziest thing was that the script called for me to be attacked in the face by bees. Hooray! Yeah Boss Dave was like "you don't mind getting stung a few times do you?" ("uh, no?" (thinking "uh, yes")) So we wiped pheremones on my sunglasses to attrack the bees to my face and pretty soon I couldn't see on account of the bees all crawlin on my eyelids and suchforth.
And then the silliest part, they wanted me to "act like I was being stung" and of course "act natural," but natural for beeing stung for me is NOT dance around in a circle batting my head like they wanted -- if I'm getting all stung up like that I am running in a straight line somewhere far away. Actually the one time I got stung a dozen times at once I just grimaced and finished the job.
But yeah so, I'll be making my big international television debut dancing like a ninny.
I made it through the shoot without getting stung, but later that day a bee got in my veil and stunginated me. I ran in a straight line out of there to shake it out.
Two more pictures:
Incidently, one of the new office girls is apparently on "The Real Housewives of OC" (or rather her mom is, she's "the rebellious daughter" or something) *. A show so horrendous it doesn't even have a wikipedia page! (But I've had the misfortune of beholding it on TV) It takes place in Coto de Caza.
Now for your contextual understanding convenience, I happen to have this map handy which illustrates the relative locations of Laguna Beach, Bee Busters HQ, & Coto de Caza.
More evidence that reality TV is circling in on me (First Davis w/ Sorority Life, than "The OC," then "Laguna Beach" ... now THIS, reality television is totally stalking me).
