GM's thread about nothing (25 Viewers)

I hate IKEA with the passion of 100 suns.

OK, maybe that is a bit strong, but I really should have thought twice about going there. I'm still putting #### together. It is going to be awesome when I am done, but not sure all the heavy lifting and construction on my part is worth the few bucks saved from going and getting a bed and wardrobe from somewhere else.

 
I got called over to one of our properties this morning to chaperone the cast and crew of an A&E show that they are filming at one of our storage units. Not Storage Wars. Apparently it's some kind of investigative show that they have. This episode is about a woman who killed her husband and stuck him in the garage hoping he would "disentigrate". I guess they are using one of our units as the garage.

Pretty cool so far. There are trucks and lots of equipment and grips and the like.
Sweet.
 
I don't get IKEA. My impression is that they sell decent dorm room furniture at decent prices. Beyond that, I don't understand the love for the place.

Needed something temporary. Didn't want to spend a ton. Still, probably could have done something different. Got sucked in.

:lmao: They've asked me to be in it now. The actor scheduled to come over from Nashville can't make it and they need someone to play the manager who lets the police into the storage unit/garage.

Sound like a good role. Ask them what you motivation is? Will they give you a back-story for your character or do they just expect you to improv it? Make sure you're getting union wages.

And demand a love scene.
 
Wait. Careful. Are you sure this isn't some on-location Hoarders shoot and they're trying to suck you in under false pretenses a la Springer?

Grips or Key Grips. If they're not Key I don't want to know about it.

Ask if you can use a stage-name. I would go with Cha-Cha Palmetto.
 
Update: just filled out my W-9.

I'll try to stay humble.
Stay humble, but if you don't get paid a boatload for basically standing around 8 hours, then doing 30 minutes of work, they're scamming you.I used to run into film sets all the time when I lived in Hollywood (meh, it was Hollywood). One time they shot a car commercial outside my living room window. They were there at 7am and stayed until sundown. Stressed out geeky young women were constantly running around delivering messages, fixing small details, rubbing the car with a rag, and getting dismissed by fat middle aged men who seemed even more stressed out than the women. There was a giant storyboard, a table with sandwiches, and a couple trailers with expensive equipment -- basically it was a small circus in the middle of the street with no fun.

In the middle of it all were two pretty 20something dudes who would appear once every couple hours, look at the storyboard, shake a couple people's hands, nod and act interested, then disappear. At the end of the day, after they'd removed the car's windshield and attached a giant camera contraption to the hole, the two pretty guys got in the car, looked surprised and astounded at the dashboard, said like two sentences to each other, then got out. That was it.

I have little doubt they were the highest paid people there.

So demand your due, YSR. And hope this leads to a new career path of lazy riches. :thumbup:

As we pull up, we hear something funny from inside. Very loud and very funny. It sounded like it was raining inside the house. But of course, that isn't possible, right? Oh, but it's possible. Very possible. Sometime while we were gone, the third floor toilet exploded, and water was POURING down onto our kitchen floor. There was about a 1/2 inch of standing water in the kitchen. Second floor was a mess.

Put up fans to dry it all out. Things are actually not too bad shape. Painter and drywall guy come tomorrow to check it out. Will have to puch the house listing back a little bit. A little worried about the hardwood floor in the kitchen.

Told my wife that this is precisely why we have rainy day money.
Sorry, but :lmao:

Missed this post. I agree, very cool. Somehow work in the cat shirt.
 
Just got back from the foot doc.

Updated X-ray on arthritic toe showed a big piece of bone floating around, definitely need to have surgery. But I'll have to be in a walking boot and won't be able to drive for a couple weeks, so trying to figure out the best time. I'm thinking early October?

My other foot has been bothering me more, X-ray showed arthritis between navicular and first cuneiform. I'm more concerned about this one. He gave me a cortisone shot and some stretching exercises.

I should probably lose some weight, but walking/running is killing me right now.

Getting old ####ING RULES!

How does this happen? Not getting old, that much I understand. How did your big toes take a ####?

The big toe is regular arthritis, probably a combination of genetics, being overweight, and I think I have a tendency to walk on the inside of my foot, although that's never been said by a doctor and I've never been diagnosed with flat feet or arch problems. In the other foot in the cuneonavicular joint, probably a combo of the above and some past trauma that I had on the lateral side of my ankle, maybe I have overcompensated by putting more weight on the inside of my foot. These are just typical degenerative joint problems, wearing away of the cartilage and narrowing of the joint space. I don't think there's any magical diagnosis other than just some overloading of the joints.

I'm in a cafe in my hometown. In the next booth is a white dude with dreads and a braided beard. He's desperately trying to sell a "gemstone collection with some jade pieces that are um like probably from a few ancient South American sites" on his smartphone to no less than 6 different dealers in the past 30 minutes. He's currently looking up more dealers on his laptop.

Also present are requisite numbers of hipsters and artsy hot chicks. The walls are adorned with crappy local art drawn in charcoal. Mostly ugly women in hijabs.

I know what you're thinking: Vader is in his element. The thing is, I keep thinking about how great it'd be if a ####faced GMTAN crew rolled into this place at peak hours. A drunk Tanner pretending to be interested in the bearded guy's gems would be :lmao:

For added weirdness, as I was writing this a barista walked by with a leather notebook labeled STRENGTH in huge letters, asking if any of us lost it.

Who needs drugs in a place like this?

 
Update: another hippie just wandered in, said hi, and now they're competing in louder and louder professions of how Muslim they are.

 
I know what you're thinking: Vader is in his element.
Im thinking the same thing I usually think when I read your posts. Who is vader? Could you throw a bone to those of us who don't follow the aliasi as closely as we used to instead of writing vader in your posts about yourself?
 
Update II: Bearded Guy just mentioned "a total Bible scholar I know" who lives in a trailer on her land somewhere in the local hills.

Oh yea, ETA:
