Today a new sun rises for me; everything lives, everything is animated, everything seems to speak to me of my passion, everything invites me to cherish it.

Adventures In Stage 24

Friday, February 29th, 2008

On Tuesday, my assignment at work was field. On normal days, this would mean that I am out and about on the lot, making sure guides know where they can and cannot go on the lot, assisting them with guests, and getting them access to sound stages.
But Tuesday, I was forced to sit on [...]

On The Lot

Tuesday, February 19th, 2008

Finally, finally, finally… I can tell you who was on the lot today.  Things are still slow, but stages, production offices, and the Mill are slowly waking back up to life.  Two and a Half Men is perhaps the first show on the lot to really be back in the full swing of things – [...]

Me: Ugh. My shields are down to 50%, warp core engines are off line, and I’m running on emergency power.
Cameron: Reverse the polarity, reinforce the shields with the secondary polarized matrix, transfer power from the secondary life support to the main bridge, and activate the Omega 13!
Bonus points if you know what [...]

Day Of Affirmation

Thursday, February 7th, 2008

I was affirmed in my job and in my writing. Yay!
My job: I had two of the BEST tours today. Seriously, even way better than showing my own friends and family around. (Though, in fairness to them, today was a much nicer day, weather-wise, than the [...]

On The Lot

Tuesday, February 5th, 2008

Tonight there was a special event in the WB museum celebrating the 85 years Warner Brothers has been a studio.
An industry party of sorts.
Us tour guides were left to huddle in the cold, shuttling guests to and from Gate 2 (where most people parked). Some of the guests were members of the press, others [...]

An End In Sight?

Sunday, February 3rd, 2008

Rumors have been flying pretty fast and thick here in Tinsletown (where the heck did that name come from, anyway?).
Read more about it here.
I am optimistic (as I usually am), and I really hope the rumors are true.
The lot has been really really quiet since about mid-December, and I miss seeing everyone around.  Granted, I [...]
