Your Mom is an Enormous Nun Who Can't Play Tennis

My forehead is sun burnt and my hair smelled of bad Chinese food before I washed it.

I'm a bit tired and loopy, so this blog will probably seem pretty random.

The Women's Studies cast and crew had some good times over the past three days. I think it was because we were all just glad to be doing dialogue scenes instead of scenes that involved combat, hiking up a mountain, or stopping traffic on a blind hill at midnight, which we did this past Friday night . . . or Saturday morning . . . You know what I mean.

Melisa Breiner Sanders (Beth) was around to do some of her scenes. She's short and makes fun of your mom. After eight hours of working with her, EVERYBODY was making fun of everybody else's mom. It kept things light though.

We have schizophrenic Production Assistants. I mean, the PAs themselves are not actually schizophrenic, but the scheduling of them is. One day we'll have like five of them, and the next day we'll have none. On Monday we had none and we could have used five. Today, we had four and could have used two.

We could use more PAs on this film in case you're interested. There's no pay and we'll probably make fun of you and/or your mom. However, you'll be well fed and caffeinated, and I'll guarantee you'll laugh your ass off at least once. Trust me on this.

All right. That's all I have to say. The only thing saving this blog from being filed under "lamest ever" is that fact that there are pictures from the various shoots. They're not the pictures I took of Melisa's mom, but they'll have to do.
