Ain't it a shame?

Done for the week. We fell behind so we didn’t get to my test, which is good because I’m exhausted. Now 2 days off, then Monday is gallery so my test will be first thing Tuesday. I was pretty off today. One of the directors said I have to act more enthusiastic, not 'too zen'.  And there was one reaction shoot where I was called out for my weak enthusiasm.  There were some issues for the Chinese episode, so I'm curious how it will all edit together.  Everything caught up with me.  My emails and social media are still blowing up with Sifu's passing.  There was a huge issue with Crystal, which I'm somewhat grateful of because it doesn't place me as the weakest link.  I'm chomping at the bit to do 3-section staff, but they won't let me for weird legal issues.  My demo comes down to cutting with a bronze straight sword, something I've never done.  But that's Tuesday.  

Glad for the break.  Danny and I had to fire slingshots together for one test.  Of course, Danny rocked it.  He said he used a lot of slingshots as a child and that in his neighborhood growing up, no bird was safe.  I missed my second shot, glancing off the slingshot with the pebble.  I haven't shot a slingshot since before I was a teenager.

Went to dinner with the BK&S crew and their former producers at a fancy Italian place at the Point.  Another gourmet meal with lots of liquor.  It was very enjoyable - fascinating to be a fly on the wall and hear about web shows and how the money works.

I'm pretty sore and tired.  It's a lot of hurry-up-and-wait, and it's so awkward being the center of attention as 'the talent'.  Catering has been good and the crew has been fantastic.
