I'm going to Hollywooood

Well, Maybe not just yet.

I'm a big big star in Germany though.

Oh wait, that makes me sound like I did a porn that involved some pooping on the chest. Which I most certainly did not do. To clarify, I haven't done any porn at all. Sorry to disappoint.

I was an extra in a Big Hollywood Film yesterday. It has big big stars in it. Dennis Quad, and that guy who is Claire's Dad's partner in the agency in Heroes. Eric something or other. Whooooo-hooooo.

I've never done extra work before, but I have one day off a week and I couldn't think of anything better to do than get up at THREE AM to go freeze my butt off sitting in an outdoor stadium for FIFTEEN HOURS. Bright side, we got lots of free food and snacks. And I got to hear countless people call themselves professional actors because they've done Extra work in both The Breakup and the episode of Prison break that filmed in Lisle.

It honestly wouldn't have been so bad, but it was absolutely freezing yesterday. It never broke 60. And that was in the sun. When the wind wasn't blowing. Which is was for 93% of the time.

All in all, I'd say I'm glad it was something I did. I can't say I'll do it again any time soon. It was long hours for not enough pay. Which was $10 for the first 8 hours, and then time and a half after that. Which seems like good money until hour #13 when you've been standing the whole time and all you want to do is stab yourself.

Eric something-or-other is Julia Roberts's big brother :)
