STAMPEEEEEEEDE!!!!!!

STAMPEEEEEEEDE!!!!!!

Yep. The cattle stampeded today after a cattle run scene got a little out of hand. Nobody was hurt, but a few of the actors may have been called pussies for not being better horse riders.

There were also gunfire special effects, but only cans were harmed...so it was lame.

Just call me Chicken Wrangler.

Just call me Chicken Wrangler.

The highlight of today was exactly what the title implies: chicken wrangling. That's right. I had to corner and capture chickens for a scene today. Can I just say for the record that chickens are absolutely terrifying when they run directly at you? Your wits dribble out your ear, and your dignity's all like, "Peace out, playa."

I can say that chickens are surprisingly heavy. And terrifying. Did I mention that already?

Ill portends

Ill portends

Things I never thought I'd see on a first day's shoot or: things I never want to see again...

  • A steer eating its own feces

  • A steer mounting another steer

  • A steer peeing on another steer's head

  • The other steer drinking the pee


    Other than porn industry steer, the day went pretty well. The crew is just as easy to work with as ever, and I get to make fun of people with relative immunity because I know them. Ah, bliss...

    Watching:
  • "Serial Experiments - Lain: Navi"

    Reading:
  • The Island of the Day Before
  • Promethea (Book 2)
  • Uncle Sam
