Day 10

I'm feeling 3% better than yesterday. It's not much but it's something.

We started off the morning with an injurty to our star dog today who was on deck for several scenes. Carlos the hunk-o-chunk of burning love teamster played with Louie and Georgie this morning and they fought so hard for his attention that Georgie gave Louie a black eye, a cut on his ear, and a concussion. Our boom op used to be a vet tech and took one look at Louie and said he's not right so we had to rush him to the doctor. The vet tried rest, anti-inflammatories and antibiotics. Louie's big scenes were moved and since he came home he ate a big bowl of food and has been sitting in the air conditioned room with makeup all day.

Meanwhile we did another very funny scene with Karen, Julia and David. The composition was really cool. In fact, composition is the word today. A lot of the shots today are beautifully composed. If I don't say so myself since I composed them.

Marianne Murphy was a scene stealer again today. She did some really funny work in the Gerber daisies scene.

I'm addicted to Halls cough drops while the camera is rolling so I don't cough my right lung out.
No deliveries of jalapenos or cayenne pepper smoothies today.

Louie rallied at the end of the day and came out front and delivered a brilliant scene on the front porch eating a bone.

It doesn't matter what Karen says or does, it's always spot on. All the people gathered around the monitor and around her tonight during the last scene spontaneously began clapping. Great ending to a day that started out on a concerned note.
