Well, you've read the notes, the notes were filmic and had coverage, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently shooting a new MOOvie.

Oh...

I'm currently posting from Terminal 1 of San Diego International Airport.

After dinner, we made a quick stop back at the condo so that I could pack up my stuff. My brother, Mike, also packed up some stuff since he'll be staying overnight with a friend and classmate from the  Coast Guard Academy who lives close to the airport. He and his kids will be going for a sail tomorrow on the Bay. -Oh, and my brother, Don, did end up driving up to L.A. earlier with Alexandra and Alyssa for a day and night of sight-seeing. *It's been nice seeing that my brother, Don, is actually taking advantage of his vacation time since he really does tend to keep very long hours at his job. In any case...

After all the bags were packed up, we dropped by my brother Jay's new house just to check in on the newlyweds before they leave for their honeymoon in the morning. They'll be going to Hawaii for eight days! While we were there, my Mom decided to have a small birthday party for me - cake, candle and pictures. Of course, the cake was the leftover wedding cake from yesterday. ;)

Then we dropped my parents back off at the condo, and my brother, Mike, drove me down to the airport. Thankfully, this trip to the airport was much different than my previous one. No traffic. No mix-up with my reservation. No delays at the security checkpoint. -And since I realized/remembered that my parents had paid for these tickets, I went ahead and treated myself to a legroom upgrade (and paid for it myself).

Boarding begins in 45 minutes.

...And I just received the revised schedule for tomorrow's/today's understudy rehearsal. It looks like I won't have to start until 3:00pm. I'll probably still head to the theatre after I get back to BWI, but instead of sitting at the keyboard starting at Noon, I'll most likely grab one of the comfy couches in one of the green rooms and take a nice nap. :)

Good morning, all! Yesterday was a pretty good day: a nice walk, a meeting with an actor, and last night around 8:30 I met Joe and Jonathan of Chapter Productions, our Irish half of the team who are delightful  and very entertaining gentlemen. Jonathan's a record producer and Joe is a bass player who played RIVERDANCE forever. The stories were bawdy, the gossip filthy, and we had a great time. Tonight we threewill have dinner with the conductor for the recording and tomorrow is our first day of piano rehearsals with the cast.

Today, I'm going to walk to Grafton Street, the shopping area, and browse. I may go to the National Gallery this afternoon.

DR JRand60, the only thing your revisical needs is a little more of Morgan le Fay to be perfectly in sync with all new productions.

BK, fantastic news about yesterday! I hope today goes as swimmingly. Break a leg!

This keyboard has no VIBES! I send wishes and good thoughts to:

DRs MichaelS and TCB for good health!

DR vixmom for a happy happy birthday!

To BK for another day of good taping!

To DR JohnG for employment!

To everyone else because we deserve to have things go right occasionally!

I'm baaaaaaack!!!!

I've been to the National Gallery, which is under renovation, so I didn't see a lot: a Picasso, a Peter Breughel, a Caravaggio, a Peter Paul Rubens, a Fragonard, and a Van Gogh, among others. There was a beautuful Fleming painting from the time of Rubens of people skating in the snow and another wonderful snow painting of a regiment of soldiers from 1876 that was quite realistic. The museum has a ton of paintings from Jack Yeats, and I liked many of them.

Then I walked next door to the Museum of Natural History and looked at a lot of insects - some goirgeous butterflies, DR Laura! - many many stuiffed birds and animals. They have skeletons of enormous deer overr 10-feet tall, I'd guess, along with other fauna and sea creatures. I was bored rather quickjly. After awall of sponges, I thought genug ist genug.

Then I went to Tesco's, a supermarket chain, and bought some chips asnd chocolate for an occasional munch, and I'm back at the hotel to wait for dinner.

Just picked up the rehearsal dinner invitations from the printer - finally!  They had the same trouble that the Staples tech had, but they were willing to solve the problem, not just blame my Mac.  Price was a little higher than their original quote because of some extra set-up, but still lower than the quote from Staples.  My to-do list now includes addressing & stamping...

Betsy loves frisia (sp?), so I try to always have that in any flower arrangement I give to her.  Years ago I ordered a bouquet for her and it turned out the one they delivered did not have frisia which I had specfically requested, so I called and raised holy hell with the florist.  The owner did another arrangement and brought it to my house where he told me to tell Betsy how much he enjoyed listening to her reports from the Oregon Trail, which were then airing regularly on KEX.  It taught me to be careful since Betsy was a media personality in those days.  ;)

Greetings all!  I have returned to the land of the living.  Actually, they sent me home from the ER yesterday afternoon, but I hurt a great deal and I was very grumpy.  So I took all of pills and zoned out for the evening.

I should have checked in here at HHW, just to let you know that I was okay.  That was very rude of me not to check in, and I do apologize to anyone who might have been worried.
Title: Re: THE SHOOT
Post by: TCB on August 16, 2011, 01:35:54 PM
I awoke yesterday morning and realized that there was something wrong with my right leg - my good leg!  I only had to look once to realize that I had once again been struck with MRSA.  This was probably the worst (and scarriest) of the outbreaks.  The entire back of the lower part of my leg was swollen and hard as a rock.  Also, a very charming shade of red

I tried to get into see my doctor, but the whiole clinic was a zoo, and they said that they would not be able to see my until late yesterday afternoon.  I knew I couldn't wait for that, so my friend Cynthia called and  I pressed her into service to take me to the ER.  I had hoped that possibly my miracle worker surgeon might be on call yesterday, but no such luck.  Everybody from this hospital;s ER should be givien medals of service.  From the moment we drove up, they grabbed a wheelchair for me, and took me inside to the ER.  Surpisingly for a hospital that is located on Tacoma's (In)Famous Hilltop area, there were very few people waiting to be seen ahead of me.  After about twenty minutes, they took me back to own private ER room.  The nurse that I was assigned was hystercial.  She and I hit off like two peas in a pod.  Then the doctor came in...........  Let me just say that he seemed to be a very knowldedgeable and skilled doctor.  He did numb my leg before he began cutting, so it wasn't too terrible at first.  However the deeper he cut, the more I felt.  Then the nurse came in and bandaged my leg, told me to stay off of it with my leg elevated thru Wedneday and then to check back with my own doctor.

So  I will see my doctor tomorrow, and then can hopefully go back to work on Thursday.  Another three days of leave without pay!

DR ELMORE in order to give Morgan La Fey more to do - at your request - she will be onstage throughout the show accompanying the singers on the banjo or dulcimer.

Oh Hell, give her an accordian, as well.

I awoke yesterday morning and realized that there was something wrong with my right leg - my good leg!  I only had to look once to realize that I had once again been struck with MRSA.  This was probably the worst (and scarriest) of the outbreaks.  The entire back of the lower part of my leg was swollen and hard as a rock.  Also, a very charming shade of red

I tried to get into see my doctor, but the whiole clinic was a zoo, and they said that they wouldnot be able to see my until late yesterday afternoon.  I knew I couldn't wait for that, so my friend Cynthia called and  I pressed her into service to take me to the ER.  I had hoped that possibly my miracle worker surgeon might be on call yesterday, but no such luck.  Everybody from this hospital;s ER should be givien medals of service.  From the moment we drove up, they grabbed a wheelchair for me, and took me inside to the ER.  Surpisingly for a hospital that is located on Tacoma's (In)Famous Hilltop area, there were very few people waiting to be seen ahead of me.  After about twenty minutes, they took me back to own private ER room.  The nurse that I was assigned was hystercial.  She and I hit off like two peas in a pod.  Then the doctor came in...........  Let me just say that he seemed to be a very knowldedgeable and skilled docttor.  He did numbe my leg before he began cutting, so it wasn't too terrible at first.  However the deeper he cut, the more I felt.  Then the nurse came in and bandaged my leg, told me to stay off of it with my leg elevated thru Wedneday and then to check back with my own doctor.

So  I will see my doctor tomorrwo, and then can hopefully go back to work on Thursday.  Another three days of leave without pay!

DR TCB - I am very relieved to have you here to greet me upon my return from the grocery store!  Glad your ER trip was satisfactory and that you're able to post.  Remember, I always say HHW is a great place to convalesce!

Thanks, Ginny.  And you re very correct about this being the place to convalesce.  That proves what a horrible mood I must have been in yesterday, not to come here first.

Just picked up the rehearsal dinner invitations from the printer - finally!  They had the same trouble that the Staples tech had, but they were willing to solve the problem, not just blame my Mac.  Price was a little higher than their original quote because of some extra set-up, but still lower than the quote from Staples.

Greetings all!  I have returned to the land of the living.  Actually, they sent me home from the ER yesterday afternoon, but I hurt a great deal and I was very grumpy.  So I took all of pills and zoned out for the evening.

I should have checked in here at HHW, just to let you know that I was okay.  That was very rude of me not to check in, and I do apologize to anyone who might have been worried.

Not rude under the conditions.  We were of course concerned but realized you might not be able to post.

I expected the trip was related to your bad leg, your back or a need for a stronger pain med.  I didn't expect the MRSA on the good leg to send you there. :(  Did the ER doctor basically do what your regular doctor does in office?  This sounded more invasive.

I hope you are feeling much better now!!!!

I'm with you, Jane.  MRSA was the last thing I was thinking about yesterday morning.  My doctor is always very careful about how deeply he cuts when he has to drain the area.  Now, as I said, this was the largest outbreak yet, so my own doctor might of done the same amount of cutting.  Still, I want my doctor to unwrap the bandages himself, and see what he thinks.

DR TCB since you are in a wheelchair can't you raise the leg thing to keep it elevated & go to work, if you can find someone to drive you?

I hope your doctor is pleased with the work at ER.  Please share or send me an email as I am curious.

Well that is an interesting idea, Jane, but I am not sure it would have been workable.  First of all, I am still on pain pills which means that I would probably spend more time dozing than working.  Secondly, the way my cubicle is set up, I couldn't have my right leg extended and still be able to use my work area.  And finally, finding anyone else who is dumb enough to go to work at 4:30 in the morning, is a bit iffy,

I, on the other hand, am back from the second day of shooting and then supper at Joe Allen with all sorts of interesting folks, including our very own Mr. Kevin Spirtas and the original Sweeney Todd Johanna, Sarah Rice, a lovely woman.  Whilst supping in walked Jane Krakowski.  I haven't seen her in about nine years or so and man did she look great (especially after having just given birth to a beautiful baby boy) - we had a nice hug and chat and then she went to sit with her dinner party.

The shoot went wonderfully - nice and easy, the way I like it.  Angus gave us the third floor of the restaurant and even gave us some food to use for the bit.  We wrapped right on time.  It took the cameraman and I about fifteen minutes to decide which way to shoot (against the windows or a brick wall - we opted for the wall, as there simply wasn't enough front light in the restaurant to combat the bright light outside the windows.  The scene with Beth and Barry was wonderful - she's just a great comedy actress and just got all the stuff right.  Most of the scene is a telephone conversation between her and someone (I play the voice of the someone on the series - never seen, though).  It was great.

Then we went to Brad Oscar's apartment and shot his scene.  His ever-lovin' Diego was in it, too.  Again, the bulk of the scene was a telephone conversation between Brad and the telephone voice played by me.  Brad was just great and Diego was funny, too.  After that, we moseyed on over to Barry Pearl's apartment, where we put all the stuff that was shot today onto my computer and a backup drive.  And then it was dinner and now I'm at the hotel and packing.  I'll try to be in bed by ten, and my car will be here at six in the morning.
