Raising the Bar - Waitress

I got booked as a waitress on a new tv show called Raising the Bar. It's a new legal drama that will be airing on TNT. It seems like a smart show and one of the characters is played "Zack" from "Saved by the Bell". My call time was 5:30 PM up in Sylmar, California. I figured it couldn't be a long day, because some people had call times at 10:30 AM. I arrived during their lunch and figured that meant 6 more hours. I got wrapped at 1:30 AM. No overtime, but 4 meal penalties. =)
It was a pretty cool bar scene where all the public defenders and prosecutors hang out. I mostly just weaved through the crowd or behind the bar with a tray.

The Ugly Truth - 4 Days

For the past 4 days I've been working on the set of The Ugly Truth as a "news room employee". I was a "make up girl" sometimes or just walking around in the background. It's a fun set and the crew is cool and really nice. Those of us that worked in these scenes are supposedly coming back after May 15 for some more multiple days. I'm trying to work as many days as possible to qualify for health insurance so the more days the better! :)
The really cool part about the last 4 days, is that we were filming at KCET where they shoot Tavis Smiley. I didn't see all the celebs that came for interviews but heard about quite a few. Phill Donahue was there yesterday, but I didn't see him. I did however see John Cho.
AND ... what really made my day ... I saw Judi Dench! She was as beautiful and elegant as ever!
Living in LA, you expect to see celebs every now and then, here and there. But Judi Dench!! That was really cool.

Another Wrap Party

I went to the wrap party for Star Trek on Friday. It was in an airplane hangar at a small plane airport and lots of people came. The Laker girls were there and danced during the small presentation, and then some gag reels and such were shown.
It was high maintenance as far as working in the casting office and pretty stressful the past 5 months ... one of the reasons I'm burned out from working in the office. But I'm glad I got to be a part of it and I can't wait to see the movie!

Back to being jobless ...

So, once again, I am free from the office. I've saved up some money to hopefully get new headshots and sign up for an improv class. I have to see how much money the government wants to take from me on the 15th first, though.

I've also enrolled in a school to start studying dog training. It's something I've always wanted to do, and this will also give me the opportunity to make money once I graduate, doing something else I love. I'm excited and can't wait to start.
