Can't sleep even though I need to be on set by 0630 tomorrow, must be the thoughts running through my head! I guess I need to recap what's been going on.
Labor Day Weekend: Hung out with Niu, Lily, Niu's cousin, Jack Kou, and Jack's friend at Red Robin as sort of a "yay I'm back in Michigan" sort of deal.
Inprocessing/Drill Weekend: Things were slow at times, but definitely an interesting experience.
Back to work! It sucks that I don't know the filming schedule until basically we've finished filming for the day and then they tell us if we're needed again or not.
First Day on Set, 18 Sept: Filming an action sequence in Royal Oak, getting introduced to the other Asian extras, some of the crew, the military advisor, etc.
First full week of filming: Wow, 60+ documented hours of work.
Friday 25 Sept: Damn! Totally forgot Sufjan Stevens was playing in Pontiac, and didn't even realize that the Crofoot was basically next to some of the shooting locations! Got included in Sarge's "elite" group of 13 extras, haha.
Saturday 26 Sept: Melpan hooked me up with a ticket to the Homecoming game against Indiana, it was definitely nice to make the traditional walk to the Big House with vegetation changing color, rap music blaring, and alcohol overflowing on people's porches. Also nice that we won the game, the outcome was definitely in doubt until the very end. Got to see Alicia in the evening, which was quite welcome even if it was only for a few hours. Went to Sonic's for the first time ever, it reminded me way too much of WALL-E's lazy future.
