So yesterday I got up early and Blake drove me to get my rental car so that I could go to the last day of filming the TV play. I was able to get another Toyota Yaris, the car that I am madly in love with from the last time I rented one, and frankly still am.
The filming went well, smoothly, and we even finished early. There was a little fuss from one of the actors about signing a release, but the fact that this is finally over, after turning into a really difficult situation, nobody really cares anymore whether or not the thing is ever edited together or not. Sign the release, don’t sign the release. Lesson learned, though, is don’t leave the release signing to the last day of filming!
Then I walked Groovy and Sasha and Mia and after that, Mom and I went to the New Girl event at the TV Academy. I have never seen the show, but the season finale looked pretty good. The cast all seemed to really like each other and have fun riffing at the talkback, but there is only so long that I am interested in hearing people make jokes about something I have no idea what they are talking about.
One cute thing was that two of the boys really look a lot alike, both short and dark, and they talked about how they were worried that they wouldn’t get cast because they looked so much alike and would call each other to make sure they didn’t dress alike at the callbacks. the audience laughed, and they said, “Seriously, we didn’t co-ordinate today, and look what happened!” and stood next to each other. They had totally dressed in similar coloured pants, shirts and shoes! Very cute.
Zoey Deschanel said that they almost didn’t want to cast all of the women, since they all had dark hair and bangs as well. That I noticed, thinking as I was watching, “Why do these people live in a land where all of the women are brunettes with bangs?” New Girl, taking place on a planet where everyone looks alike, except for the one black guy.
