blue sky
they call it blue june. apparently most of june is usually particularly downcast in los angeles. i can attest to this. the last few days of may were scorching hot, but the past five or six days have been very overcast without much sun. weird, no? although the sky's more of a gray than blue, but whatever.
so i walked into work today, and decided to skip my usual cup-of-coffee-in-the-breakroom-to-start-the-day and get to work. my boss wasn't around, so i sat at his desk and picked up one of the many trade publications we have lying around the office. i think it was variety. so i was absent-mindedly flipping through it, wondering if i should have gotten coffee, when i heard a screech from the cubicle around the corner. apparently the four or five girls from publicity had found a treasure precious enough to share with the entire office in loud voices:
pictures of brad and angelina's baby.
here are a few things i heard:
"omg, i want to MAKE OUT with that baby!"
"omg, look at her boobs!"(i assume talking about angelina)
"omg, it has brad's eyes and angelina's lips!"
"omg, my womb is throbbing!"
the last one really disturbed me, so i decided i needed my cup of coffee from the break room afterall.
i spent about an hour typing up purchase orders and faxing them to random people in the morning, when my boss tossed me the script for the new tarantino movie. i love this place.
here's the deal: weinstein co. is producing a double feature with robert rodriguez and quentin tarantino called "grindhouse." rodriguez does one, tarantino does the other, and they create a ten minute intermission of fake trailers they make. it's supposed to mimic the cheaply done 70's drive-in movies. rodriguez's is called "planet terror" or something like that. it's shooting right now in texas, and i got to see some of the dailies back in the dub room. tarantino's hasn't begun shooting yet. it's a lot like his others: a ton of dialogue followed by a ton of violence. what i liked about it was how long he spent building up the tension. i think i was on page 54 or so before the action started. it's a pretty insane premise. i won't give it away.
in other news, a pipe broke under our apartment complex yesterday, so we didn't have any water for about 24 hours. so no shower today.
whatev. it's fixed now.
