Work Overload

Not for me. It's tough sometimes waking up at 4:30am for work - especially if I don't get enough sleep or I get too much, then I tend to be groggy. But it's nothing compared to what Michael and his friend, Osiris, have been doing lately. They work from 8-5pm at Ripley's, then go straight to the shoot until 3am for a horror short where a guy gets sucked in through his computer. (It makes me thinks of the little home movie I made with Jessica & Lindsey a long time ago about them "falling" into the computer and becoming Sims characters.) But Michael and Osiris also had to get up again today for work and they will be going to the shoot again afterward. He says he probably won't be able to sleep in tomorrow either. 

The above photos were taken this past weekend when they were making a mold of the keyboard. Michael wanted me to take a bunch of pictures of them working and his silly reaction is because I ended up paparazzi-ing them.

My plans for today include getting my hair cut at a salon, hopefully the lady I went to last time is working so I can get it done the same way as I did prior to shooting "Blood Widow" in June. Then proceeding to dye it myself ~ something I haven't done in about 13 months! ~ going back to a lighter color, since my roots are covering most of my head and look too "blah". Here is the example photo I bring in, of Dianna Agron from "Glee".

Outside Adventure

I feel as if my creative skills have lacked these past few weeks because we haven't gone anywhere recently. At one point we talked about going to Mobile to stay with NaNa and Michael's family would meet us there for a few days. I was very excited about that. But since we got a bunch of jobs and we were working all the time (most of the credit goes to Mr. GoreFX), we didn't have time. He wanted to go to Birmingham for a few days - I think we would have left tomorrow - but he got a new job at Ripley's (their distribution center) and starts on Monday. I was hoping to go up there, especially if it snowed and because Parker has a T2i as well and has different lenses than us.
There is far too much green in Florida right now for a January. The red and dark orange leaves are pretty, but I kind of miss freezing in the early mornings last year while we filmed Gruff's Bridge. However, I was still able to wear a few layers with a scarf and my fuzzy hat. These are the best photos I was able to get today while walking around. I like the one of the branches and sky because it reminds me of the scene in The Wizard of Oz where Dorothy gets taken by the winged monkeys. For whatever reason, that's one of my favorite scenes. Maybe because they can fly?
