March 23,1999
This was the first "one of those days" I've had in a LONG time. It
was back to school for me after a week's spring break. I showed
my scene in class and had it critiqued. I got very nice reviews.
I was very pleased. After class I was talking to Steve and
Linda. I had noticed that there was a movie being filmed in a warehouse
where I turn to get to school. I found out that Steve is the set
dresser for that movie. It is "Temptation" and it stars Keifer Sullivan
and Rebecca Domornay. He was telling us about how he had rented out
most of his apartment to dress the set. in fact on Rebecca's shelves
there were pictures of himself. Isn't that nifty? Then he said
that they weren't shooting today so he could sneak us on the set if we
liked? Liked? Man you know you don't have to ask me twice.
I'm salivating to have Steve's job! So we decide we will meet in
front of the train station and he'll walk us over. I am in heaven andIi
am thinking I can go see the set and STILL make it to my son's dr. appt.
I get out to my car and out of the blue sky...it will not turn over.
frantic, I run over to the field house where my classmate stephanie works
and I tell her my problem. She loans me her car to go find Linda
and Steve...but when I get there I can't find either one. I
am so disappointed. I find Linda's car and leave her a note.
then i return steph's car and keys with a small Wendy's chili as thanks.
(I knew she hadn't eaten all day) Steph andIi try to jump my car.
Nothing. Ii call for male help. Male help is on the way...but it
will be about a hour. Ii figure I will just wait in the car and read.
For fun, I try to crank it. Iit starts right up. I drive home.
Fate did not want me on that set. Why? I want to know.
