There's Life Outside of Filming

June 25th was both the best and worst day of filming yet. At 3:30 am, we put the camera away, the feeling of exhaustion and success fresh on our faces.

Major fight scene #2 is completed.
Thank god.
I have a brand new appreciation for dancers.

Aside from that, life is good. We shot five times the last week and a half. We just lost our female lead for a month, and we're about to lose one of our main supporting guys to the army on the 7th which means we have to rush some shit this week. After the 7th though, its smooth sailing. I'm pretty stoked.

Drove to New York with my dad yesterday. Saw the cousins. Saw the crazy aunt. <3 the grandparents. Didn't sleep well. Went clothes shopping with Grandma, then went out to dinner with everyone. Saw Wanted with Dad tonight. 3.5/5.

Have taken a break from Hunter. Started a new thing that's been in my head for a while. Working title is "All American Kids". Got through like half a chapter before finally falling asleep last night. The premise involves the realistic actions of teenagers given superpowers and the consequences that follow. As many things that I've written, there's a fair bit of random, unnecesary violence and some pretty good humor. The biggest difference between this and things I've written in the past is that the romantic subplot is actually pretty important to the main story line.

And the fact that about 80 percent of the cast is modeled off real people.

Complete random, but has anyone else ever realized that the thoughts we hate the most tend to creep up on us specifically when we're trying to sleep. It kind of sucks especially when those thoughts get you angry. Anger and sleep go together about as well as milk and spaghetti.

Oh yeah.
I got into Umass Amherst.
Cool.
