Yarrrrrrgh, this shoot be cursed, I say! Cursed!Here's a list of some of the bad things that have happened during this shoot, but mostly in the past week:
The aforementioned perversion of the cattle and their subsequent stampede
A plague of yellowjackets
Duststorms that destroyed tents (with the winds) and respiratory systems (with the dustiness)...
...that came the same day that the fires started (which, incidentally, are only a few miles south of where we're shooting)...
...which caused an hour and a half delay in shooting while we waiting for a fire marshall that wasn't helping fight the fire
We discovered that four days worth of film is unusuable due to some defect with the film, the development of the film or some other film-related foul-up
(they've since added at least two days onto the end of the shoot to reshoot the lost scenes)
Watching:
"Lost: Adrift"
Amelie
Django
(and to cheer me up...) Eraserhead (Bad timing, Netflix. I wish there was a "SEND IT BACK UNTIL I'M IN A BETTER MINDSET FEATURE" on that site. I've gotta learn to watch some movies the instant I receive them, because the window for watching some movies remains open for only a day or two. Rats.)
Reading:
A Sound of Thunder and Other Stories (kindly borrowed from Rachel, our script supervisor)
I Am Legion

Hey Man, as long as you're getting paid for said 2 days labor just take it in stride.
The issue with the additional days' labor is that I would've been moving on to the next movie with the company anyway. The next movie is primarily indoors and air conditioned, far removed from the heat, the sun, the dust, the fires, etc.
I'd be getting paid the same rate for the cushier job, and now it's unclear as to when this next job is going to start.
