Chuggity-Choo Champ
August 11th, 2005Tonight we greenscreen!
I took off work today. Woke up feeling like crap and not wanting to go to work, as do 99% of employed Americans I would guesstimate, but the pull of not going to work overtook my beaten-down sense of responsibility and I stayed in. I have two Marvel freelances I have to turn in and want to be more prompt about than the last batch. I also had middling, mindless house chores to accomplish. I also paranoiacly predicted something would go wrong with the shoot and wanted to be rested enough to deal with it.
Brian Fountain is stepping in as make-up man after Mike Hagen had a conflict the exact and only day the cast and crew could agree to meet, but his “caboodle” of stage makeup went missing the day before. A friend of him would loan some supplies, but someone had to go get it in Brooklyn. (As it turned out he decided to rollerblade in and drop it off, which was as sweet as it was ridiculous—stage makeup via rollerblade from Williamsburg—especially for a total stranger to do).
