So I get this call mid afternoon yesterday from an old friend in a pinch. She has until noon today to finish her photography assignment, the studio booked from midnight till 8am... and no model.
I don't know about you darling readers, but I am the one people go to when things go wrong. So after my Tuesday Nerd Night - a board games, potluck, movie night hosted by yours truly - I high tailed downtown to be that model. The film shoot started at midnight, and for four and a half hours I posed, preened and pranced about in different outfits and sets. It was really fun, and even better once the coffee was served.
Now, around 3am a hitch was discovered. Apparently one of the other students had broken the set mirror earlier on that day... making it impossible to photograph any hairline shots - the shots that were due in just a few hours. After a bout of panic and frantic searching, we settled it by filming everything else and sending off a note to her teacher.
Now, while I had originally planned to leave around 2:45, or even 3 if it ran late, after all the hubbub it was 4:15am, and we still had a good half hour of work to do.
On a side note, throughout the year I have been working on a 'Your Geeky Girl' album. Richelle, the photographer, knew about this, and as compensation for the extra time I put in on the set she filmed for me one of my songs. As a treat she is turning it into a music video and plans to post it up on Facebook and Youtube when she is finished!
So yes, 6 hours of filming later I get home to my comfy boyfriend and my warm bed... only to have to wake up for work at 9, which I was 15 mins late for of course. But whats a girl to do?
After work I straggled on home to cold pizza and a nap - which was lovely - then headed out to school. Poetry on Taboo ~ and what we fear the most. It should be interesting.
Poetry class ended around 7:30, then it was off to my night job: cleaning law and geometric consulting offices downtown. My wonderful, amazing, BEST BOSS EVER, picked me up some cookies and a coffee when he heard about my day - and did I mention he let me go home early? Aaron Thom is the coolest supervisor in the whole city, if you get a chance to work for him then take it. No seriously. Do it.
So yeah, back home I come, to finish my homework, write some Taboo poetry, and hopefully make up for this weeks lack of sleep.
Good night darling readers, and good karma.
