So Monday & Tuesday at Intuition was a lot of fun. On Monday during our lunch break Keri took me and the other intern to Space 15 Twenty, this cute outside stage area surrounded by these urban/bohemian shops (including Urban Outfitters) and this place called Umani Burger. Keri offered to buy us lunch there, I brought lunch so I declined but I should have took her up on it cause I heard it's amazing. Next time!
Tuesday I was there by myself for like two hours and it was very intimidating. I had to confirm Keri's lunch for the day, something I hadn't done prior to that, but don't worry, I handled it. That afternoon I read a script that was absolutely terrible, something I hadn't done yet, so I wasn't entirely sure how to say that the script sucked in my notes without just saying the script sucked.
Wednesday I had my first workstudy shift. I'm definitely going to be rollin in the dough working 1.5 hours a week, but hey, something is better than nothing! It's really easy. I just have to sit at the desk at the Pendelton Center and answer the phone and do whatever Steve needs for his class at 7. The phone didn't ring once so I all I had to do is make copies for Steve. Easy stuff :)
And now, onto Thursday & Friday at The Doctors!
Thursday was our big VIP day. We had Dr. Huizenga (who I met) and Allison Sweeney (who I didn't get the chance to meet because she was on a conference call the majority of the time she was in her dressing room) from The Biggest Loser, Chandra Wilson from Grey's Anatomy (she was the sweetest person ever!) and Florence Henderson (who was also on this past season, the only one I've watched, of Dancing with the Stars). Florence and Allison were on the same few segments talking about healthy habits and the facts that prove kids that spend more time on Facebook are more likely to be anorexic. It was a pretty interesting couple of shows.
Thursday night I went to "The Writers Guild Foundation," a panel featuring the writers who wrote screenplays for movies that are up for an Oscar for 'Best Picture' including: Stuart Blumberg & Lisa Cholodenko (The Kids Are All Right), Mark Heyman (Black Swan), Nicole Holofcener (Please Give), Eric Johnson, Scott Silver, & Paul Tamasy (The Fighter), Aaron Stockard (The Town), John Requa & Glenn Ficarra (I Love You Phillip Morris), and Aaron Sorkin (The Social Network).
Awesome things I learned: The only draft of The Social Network that Aaron Sorkin wrote was the one they shot (AMAZINGGG), The Fighter was shot in only 33 days, Mark Heyman sat in on 3 months of ballet lessons before he wrote anything for Black Swan, from the time they started writing to the time I Love You Phillip Morris got picked up 8 years had passed, The Social Network would often take upwards of 50 shots of a scene (which is completely insane).
And today, an amazing, but incredibly long work day. The 'A' & 'B' show went by pretty normally (one VIP judge in the 'A' show named Dr. Jennifer Ashton, hadn't heard of her before the show), however they decided to switch the 'C' and the 'D' show (we filmed an extra show today because we have a dark week [we aren't shooting for the week] next Thursday & Friday). This threw us all into a tizzy because everyone from the 'C' show was ready to go, but no one was there for the 'D' show up to half an hour before we were supposed to start. Finally we got a call that the guest, Nancy O'Dell (from Entertainment Tonight) was here so I went to get her from the parking lot in the golf cart. She was incredibly nice, making sure she introduced herself to me, and insanely beautiful. What I didn't realize was that the whole Entertainment Tonight crew was there and that they were filming us as we pulled up to the stage in the cart (look out for me on ET!). Then as Nancy was leaving (the camera followed her) she turned around to say bye & thanks to me and then said "Say hi to Entertainment Tonight!" The camera then whipped around to me and I waved awkwardly, smooooothhh. hahaha
The only other person in the new 'C' show was Borba representative, Scott-Vincent Borba, who gave the Executive Producer's assistant a "diamonds & rubies facial" valued at $7000, no joke. Mila Kunis recently got one, bringing them into the public's eye. Since I picked up Scott-Vincent and his assistants and helped him unload, then reload his stuff, he decided to give me (don't ask me why, just doin my job) a gift bag full of Borba products. Who's knows how much the bag is valued at but I am forever grateful and supportive of Borba products from this day forward :)
Then for the new 'D' show Dr. Ian Smith (from Celebrity Fit Club) guest judged. He was insanely nice & very patient with the fact that he was there the majority of the day, as were the rest of the 'D' show guests. One of the guests had two kids, I think a 6 year old and a 9 year old and they were the best behaved kids we have had since I've been there by miles, let alone the fact that they were there HOURS longer than most guest's children.
AHH! great day! Birthday weekend has officially begun :) another post wednesday since we aren't filming next week!
