I've never felt pride for Philadelphia until very, very recently. When people ask where I'm from and I say "Philly" they're usually impressed, even after I tell them how dirty and mean it is and that we were the murder capital of the country and that I didn't even live in the city, just went to school there... they still think I'm some golden god. I think it sparked when I saw the Philly restaurant in Belmont. And now, I'm acknowledging it even moreso. Today the Eagles are playing the Bears here in Chicago. So far I've seen two yellow school busses drop off Eagles-jersey clad armies; there is a bar downstairs and I've heard the Eagles chant about 5 times in the past hour... regardless that I am 17 stories up.

I worked on my first set yesterday. 9 hours, right by the lake. People started randomly jumping in and the AD got mad because pEoPlE nEEdz 2 be SeRiOuS!!!! Okay, on a fucking college production in 345678 degree weather carrying 50lb cases full of equipment... oh, did I mention we're all doing this FOR FREE? Yeah, stfu, I think they deserve a dive in the fucking lake.

Otherwise, it was actually pretty cool. I worked with the script superviser, taking notes and timing all the shots. When I wasn't doing that I was hanging around the art/makeup department. I met a girl named Mischa and she painted my face. And when I wasn't doing that I was doing whatever they fucking told me to do cause PAs aren't shit. I was supposed to go back today but I'm really sore and my pussy just exploded so now I'm even more sore. They won't miss me though, so I don't even feel too obligated to be there. We had like at least 15 PAs. There was always at least 5 PAs not doing anything at all times just because it doesn't take 30 hands to move a cart of C stands.

Friday I went to the Field Museum with Breanna and it was fucking awesome! I love that place so much. We took a million pictures but I gotta get that bitch to send them to me. We saw the Evolving Planet exhibit which was the shit. And then we went to the Ancient Egypt exhibit and then McDonalds and then the gift shop where I got a Green Tara poster and a fucking sweet ass Mexican sugar skull necklace and like 20 postcards since they were 10cents each so if you want one gimme your address!!
