King Cobras

I got to watch a little bit of filming of a CHUCK episode that took place in the Warner Brothers "Jungle." Guest star on the set: KING COBRA snakes. Let's just say, I kept my distance.

It's Not Every Day That... It's Underwear Friday??!!

You never know who or what you may run into while walking on the WB lot.

On Friday, while showing 2 friends/coworkers around, we happened to be by the Shameless stage when the show was wrapping for the night. I casually mentioned to my friends that if we stayed put for a bit, we might see the actors leaving the stage.

As we were standing there across from the stage, William H. Macy walked out clad only in a white undershirt and boxers. He stopped and looked directly at us. Then he says, "Just so you know, it's Underwear Friday." And then he continued onto his trailer.

Needless to say, my friends and I were utterly surprised. That was definitely something we will never forget.

It's HOT in Burbank!!

It was 107 degrees in Burbank today! One-OH-Seven!!! Seriously? Seriously?

It's freakin' September... I mean practically October already and it's HOT!

Halloween Horror Nights 2010

Oh, Halloween, how I love you...

I love scary movies, I love scaring people and I do sort of enjoy the strong intensity of being scared. I love the growing adrenaline that rushes through my body when I am sitting on the edge of my seat while watching a scary movie.

I grew up with 2 older brothers and a father that loved to scare me and my friends. So I am used to it. However, I was a little nervous about going to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios. I was tired from a long day at work, but I promised my 2 friends that I would go. So I did.

And the thing that I think got me through the night in one piece was the fact that I was so tired; just plain ol' exhausted that I was very aware of my surroundings. Very AWARE!! I loved the adrenaline that was pumping through my veins almost the entire time I was in the theme park. And I enjoyed myself. But I absolutely enjoyed the 'monsters' scaring the living daylights out of the individuals who dared to scream. I loved watching the 'actors' chasing after people carrying chainsaws. It was a fascinating experience, and perhaps I will go again. But I'd kind of like to go with someone who scares easily.

A Wonderful Way to be Welcomed Back to Work...

I went home for 10 days for a family wedding. I was away from the WB lot for 10 days. That's like an eternity. Well, technically not really, but when you love where you work, it can seem like forever.

And though, I hate to admit it, I was a little stressed about being away that long. I am such a NERD! It's kinda sad. But I love where I work; I don't want to miss out on anything really cool or exciting!! Is that such a bad thing? I think not.

And to my utter surprise, I felt like I was welcomed back to the lot with open arms. Actually, it was more along the lines of encircled arms. Okay, it was a hug. And not just any hug. It was a HUG from Zachary Levi. Hmmm, yeah, let's just say I was very happy to be back at work that day.

CHUCK just happened to be filming outdoors the week I got back to work. And they were filming in a parking lot at a "bunker" for an episode titled: CHUCK vs The Couch Lock.

And there I was, on my lunch just enjoying the fact that I am fortunate enough to get to sit on the sidelines and watch filming. I am content with that. I could do that all day long. I am content with just about any filming, but it is definitely a lot more fun, when I get to watch a show I actually like.

Okay, anyway, back to the story: I am standing on the side watching everything. The cameras. The crew. The background. The stand-ins. And the actors. And Zac sees me watching everything and just waves and says "Hi." And I was happy to reply. Then he has to go over and get a "mic" on for the shot and he is a little ways behind me. He starts to go back toward the bunker, but then stops and come back over to me and gives me a HUG! He was nice enough to come over and say "Hey, what are you doing over here?" and give me that HUG!

OMG!!!

I don't really remember very much after that point. My mind's a little foggy. But let me just say again, that I felt happy to be back at work.

The 'View' Outside...

So I am at the Costume Department on the Warner Brothers lot, paying for my dress alteration and the women in the department are all giddy about something.

I am there on my ten minute break, hoping that this little errand doesn't take too long and the women are talking about the 'view' outside. And here I am thinking, that the location of the department doesn't really have that great of a view of anything. Just the side of a hill from the windows. So when they tell me to go open the doors and look outside to see this 'view,' I am a little hesitant.

What do I see? Not what, but whom? Everyone is in a frenzy over Bradley Cooper. And I must say, once I saw the 'view,' I understood what all the fuss was about. Yes, Bradley Cooper, had just arrived from the airport (I think, as he had luggage) and was waiting to meet with someone to discuss an upcoming role. And yes, he did look good with the baseball cap on and the scruffy face.

So my little errand to the department ended up being the best part of my day.

Dress Alterations by Costume Designers

My little sister is getting married in September and I am a Bridesmaid in the wedding. My dress arrived and I needed to get it altered. So I wondered if I could possibly have it done at the Warner Brothers Costume shop, and found out that YES, yes I can. Though it did cost me more than I would have like; it is such a cool story to share with friends and family.

This is something that I thought could be a possibility, and then it became a reality. Such a interesting and fun experience.
