Pressing On: Gun Shots on the Lot!

Today, for most of the morning, gun shots could be heard on the lot. Now, the first time, it was scary and a little disconcerting. I mean, I'm ok with hearing gun shots if they are say, at the gun range, or on TV, but not in real life.

After the second and third rounds, I realized they were shooting a scene here on the lot and kinda got used to them, knowing that they weren't real. Delaware jumped every time...and like I said, the 'shooting' took place for the better part of the day...at least until lunch time. It's a funny part of working on a lot and I like it. You never know what's shooting that day...what imaginary scenarios are taking playing out in real life...what 'movie magic' is happening to create a TV show or film. So cool.

As for the rest of the day...my boss didn't come in until mid afternoon, which was nice. Not that she's bad when she's there...but I don't know any instances where the boss being out of the office is a bad thing. Unfortunately one of the shows pitched last week didn't get picked up, so she's a bit down. And me too in a way, because it seemed like a neat show that I would watch. Ah well...tis the nature of the biz.

Yesterday was a great commute to work...I was wondering why it was so quick and smooth, but then I remembered it was Rosh Hashanah; much of Hollywood is Jewish, so they weren't going to work. They were celebrating the New Year!

Today (and yesterday's) FFoD are below. Kenny Smith came in again, and before he left made it a point to come and shake my hand, and say "Good to see you again..." It kinda caught me off guard, because at the time I was talking to my boss and he came out of no where. My boss kinda had a look like 'hmm, you know him?' Um, not really, but maybe later I will...that's subtle networking!

Also in the FFoD were J.K. Simmons from The Closer (and now Major Crimes)...I saw him at the restaurant where I was picking up my boss' lunch...and Damon Wayans, who came in today.
