Feeling Nocturnal..!

We hardly saw each other Thursday afternoon/evening and Friday because of the way our schedules matched up! We had a lovely weekend though, and we've been back at work the last couple days.

-- Han --

On Thursday afternoon and all day Friday I was working on a new Nickelodeon show called Bella and the Bulldogs. It was a SUPER cute show and, to make the two days even better, all my friends from the Thundermans were there! We spent hours cheering on the fake football teams (Go get em Tigers!), chatting and laughing with each other, and taking some sneaky selfies and pics!
Looking out from the bleachers we had a great view of the LA skyline, palm trees, and the Hollywood sign - pretty cool! The highlights of each day had to be lunch though. Normally sets cater lunch but Nick tends to do "walkaway" lunches which means you fend for yourself - and did we ever! The first day we went to Chipotle for some delicious burrito bowls, and the second day we went to a really cool frozen yogurt place, fun!
It was a good couple days but exhausting! We finished well after midnight both days and on the second day they had us out in the 100+ degree heat for over 5 hours without a break!! AND it was autumn in the show so I was wearing a flannel! Pretty intense. Buuut Chipotle, froyo, and a couple paychecks make everything better. :)

-- Luce --

I had two all-night calls in a row for a movie called "The Midnight Man" on Thursday and Friday! It was actually so much more fun than I was expecting and it paid much better than usual because I was wearing a bikini! Woo! On Thursday I got to set at 7pm, ready to play a "passed out girl on the couch" because the scene was a bunch of girls at a rich sleazy guy's house..! After sitting around for 5 hours without doing much of anything (apart from talking to almost everyone in the cast and crew haha) 4 other girls showed up and they were ready to start shooting all the party scenes! We were about to shoot when two of the girls turned out to be working illegally and had to be sent home! OMG! One was Russian and the other was Brazilian and neither of them had a US passport or work visa.. Crazy. That left me and two other girls to do our best to make it look like there was a raging party going on..! And a couple members of the crew had to step in as well (and replace me as the asleep couch-girl so I could do the more risqué things haha).. We filmed a bunch of shots partying and dancing and hanging out in a hot tub throughout the night and I really felt like I bonded with the other girls! All in all it was a super fun experience and I was excited to go back and do it again the next day!

After spending all of the daytime on Friday recuperating, I headed out to set again and braced myself for the night ahead! When I got there everyone remembered my name which was lovely and I hung out with my new friend Jenna from the night before as we waited to start filming! 

There were more girls compared to the night before (thank goodness!) because it was the huge climactic moment in the movie and it was so exciting! Jenna and I were chosen to be two of the sleazy guy's main girls so we were really featured and got to spend a lot of time with the lead actors which made the time fly by! Eventually around 3:30am Jenna and I had a break so we curled up in the bed in the mansion we were filming in and had a little nap! Pretty hilarious. After more filming all the way through to sunrise, we were finally wrapped at 6:30 in the morning - 12 hours after we arrived. So. Insane. I was exhausted but happy to have had such a great time on set! I drove home and didn't even have to turn the headlights on in the car because it was daylight (so weird!) and I fell into bed. :)

-- Han & Luce --

We spent the weekend recovering from the last couple days, resetting our sleep cycles, and doing heaps of work on our YouTube channel - we're pretty excited about it! On Saturday we did a test run of the filming/editing, Luce was a natural and Han's becoming an iMovie wiz, then ordered Chinese takeout and had a GG marathon. Perfect Saturday. On Sunday we filmed the main chunk of our first episode! Woo!! We had to go out before filming to run some related errands, so it ended up being an all-day endeavor. It was worth the effort though! We're really pleased with the results and we can't wait to share it with you all! We're still a couple weeks off the big reveal, so stay tuned..! Afterwards, we cooked up a storm for dinner then called it a night.

Yesterday Han was working on CSI and Luce had a chill day at home.


-- Han --

It was a long day but the time flew by! The scene was a really exciting one - involving a screaming man running down a corridor of students - and the background reactions were really important, so it was a fun day! I made some friends, got some screen time, climbed about a thousand stairs, and ate an amazing lunch! Success!

-- Luce --

I had a relatively chill day at home watching movies and went out to run some errands in the afternoon! It was nice to be able to fully recover from my earlier two nights of no sleep and be completely ready to face the work week ahead!

-- Han & Luce --

Han got home around 7:00 and we had time for dinner and a catch-up before the season finale of the Bachelorette! Ahh it was unbelievably satisfying and exactly the romance/drama/love fix we needed. Amazing.

Today Luce is on set for Transparent, the show Han worked a couple weeks ago, and Han's working her way through a veeerry long to-do list. 7) Post the blog: check!

Healthy, unhealthy, and everything in between..!

Ahh the juice cleanse! Well, that was an adventure!
On Saturday we did an amazing job! We juiced, went on a hike with Brittany, juiced again, and again, went to target to get a couple gifts, and juiced again!
Because we didn't have a juicer, the drinks were more like slushie smoothies, so they were sooo filling! They all tasted pretty good though! By the last one, Luce in particular was craving food.
But we didn't cave! We were actually pretty impressed with our own self-control - especially at our friend's housewarming party where they had hint of lime tortilla chips, pizza, and cheesecake brownies. Oh my gosh. The party was super fun though! A really nice group of people, definitely hoping to hang out with that crowd again! 
After the party we made our "dessert" juice and it was sooo nice to have something a) warm and b) not ice/coconut water based! Then we went out to mum and Q's because Sunday was one of the last days we could use our Disney passes before they expire!

Sunday was where the juice cleanse got tricky... We had a lazy morning at Mum and Q's - we juiced, swam in the pool, read our books, watched some tv. We also got an awesome early birthday present.... A juicer!!! SO COOL! The extent to which we were craving solid food was a little outta control, so a juice-specific appliance wasn't the most welcome sight, but it's actually a really cool prezzie - we're totally into it now! 
Anyway, after all that Han spied something in the fridge that finally shattered our resolve: leftover Sprinkles cupcakes from the night before. With that, we abandoned the cleanse for the afternoon and ate cupcakes, chicken salad sandwiches, ribs, nachos, and spinach and artichoke dip. Oops hehe. The latter two delicious dishes were in Disney on our last trip only the year! We headed in around 5:00, went on a few of our favourite rides, had dinner at a lovely little restaurant overlooking the pier in California Adventure, and finished the night at the spectacular World of Color - such a perfect last hoorah! 

On Monday we headed back into LA. Han broke out the juicer with fantastic results and Luce when on a really fun date at Universal Citywalk! Later on we had a really nice and long overdue Skype catch-up with Phe, so lovely! 

Tuesday was a big day! We woke up early to take the subi in to Hollywood to get serviced, yaayy so excited to have her working again!! While we waited we had coffees and croissants at Urth Caffe, then, after being told it'd take most of the day, we went home to wait it out there. We picked her up later, good as new! Shortly after that, Han got all dolled up cheerleader style and went to finally film for her webseries! Woo!!

-- Han --
Filming was HEAPS of fun!! I was a little nervous, it's been such a lead up! But my scene partners were super funny and really nice so it all flowed really well once we were into the swing of things. 
The first scene was the bulk of my role in the pilot episode. It's set in a classroom and it's the first time you see me and one of the lead actors. The scene itself is funny and a little uncomfortable - I'm the high school cheerleader flirting with my teacher and his friend - so it was really fun to shoot! This is one of the production stills that really sums it up:
Haha that's my leg... The next scene was one that I only had one line in but I stayed the whole time to help out a little with lighting and sound, since it was a pretty complicated scene. The general gist is that the my teacher's sleeping with another girl but for a moment he fantasizes that it's me - so I had one line in this little fantasy moment. 
The footage was looking great but the hilariously awkward way we all had to be super close to each other to film was a whooole other story haha priceless. We got to know each other a lot better, that's for sure! It was all totally professional though. We wrapped around 12:30 and grabbed a bite to eat to celebrate a job well done!

-- Han & Luce --
Yesterday ended up being a really fun day - despite the fact that we weren't earning money, ugh! We went to the Americana at Brand and Glendale Galleria to do a little shopping and take advantage of some samples! The shopping was super specific though because we've got an idea brewing for a fun/cute/silly YouTube channel! Hahah the idea is still in its early stages but we'll keep you posted as we make progress with the channel! We had pretty great success with our shopping AND we got free chocolate samples from Godiva and this amazinggg lolly shop (called Lollis & Pops) that recently opened, YUM! 
Our sweet tooths (teeth?) not yet satisfied, we decided to go back to Milk to try their ice cream macaroon sandwiches! Umm YUM!! Luce got cookies and cream and Han got rocky road and they were out of this world good!
Next up was Trader Joes for groceries and juicing supplies, and as we were leaving all the streets were getting blocked off. We asked why and it turned out President Obama was about to drive past! POTUS in towwwwn!! Pretty exciting stuff. The only bummer was it meant we took about half an hour longer to get home - but then we made it and had the most delicious nibbly dinner of cheese, crackers, deli meats, and olive tapenade while we watched Gossip Girl. We also made some rockin juices that'll keep us going for the next few days! So fun!

Today Han's working but not until 3:30 so we're going to keep plugging away at some conceptual stuff for our YouTube channel. Fun! We might go on a hike too or sit by the pool - whatever we do, we woke up on the right side of the bed this morning so it's bound to be a good day!

Work Hard, Rest Hard

This week was a great work week! We had two suuuuper long days on set, 13+ hours, but we (compared to usual) made baaaank! 
On Tuesday we were working as soccer fans in a stadium near long beach with a 5:30am call time!!! Ahh! That meant waking up at 3:30 and leaving the house by 4:15 - rough stuff! Starbucks took the edge off and when we went through wardrobe they gave us jerseys and caps to wear, so it ended up being a fun morning despite the call time. We spent the day moving all over the stadium to give the illusion that it was packed - the best spot to sit was behind the benches on the sidelines, seeerious mancandy!! 
We were so glad we'd been booked on it together, such a long day would've been torture by ourselves! We finally got wrapped around 7:00, took some sandwiches to go, and hit the road! We were exhausted, definitely glad not to be working the next day!

Yesterday was a chill day; we hung out, Han went grocery shopping, and Luce prepped heaps of fruits and veggies for the juice/smoothie cleanse we're planning!
Han also went to the bible study JT took her to last week with a guy we met on set the day before. It was another lovely talk made even better by a stop at Chick-Fil-A afterwards for dinner!

Thursday was yet another long day on set, this time on a crime show set in the weirdest disco-circus-club-warehouse place in LA. Despite spending over 12 hours in heels, the day absolutely flew by! We danced, met some awesome new people, hung out with friends we already knew and, as always, ate yummy food - a great day on set! 
The only downer was that Han got hit on hardcore by the world's creepiest PA (production assistant). Ugh, sooo uncomfortable and inappropriate! It got so bad and so many other girls were complaining that she ended up talking to the AD about it - hopefully we won't be seeing him again! Besides that, the day was over before we knew it! Overtime babyyy!!

Today's been another lovely, easy day. We cleaned the apartment top to bottom, it's so beautiful!! We also made a run to Sprinkles in Hollywood to get dessert for tonight - Mum and Q came to us for takeout Friday and brought a Thai feast with them! SO yummy, what a treat!! 
We had a lovely catch up and absolutely gorged ourselves on Thai food and cupcakes - probably not the best plan the night before we start the cleanse but yolo ("you only live once" for our older gen of readers hehe). We're actually really excited to start the cleanse tomorrow! Hopefully we can hold onto our resolve..!

Creeks, Culture, and Craziness!

We spent the last awesome few days in mermaid lagoons and restaurants, a gallery and a club, and the company of amazing friends! 
Friday was yet another non-working day BUT we totally made the most of it! We went with Brittany to Malibu Creek State Park to go on one of her favourite hikes that ended in a beautiful, mermaidy lagoon! 
We spent ages exploring, watching people jump from different heights on the cliff face, trying to avoid submerged rocks, and paddling around. We'd worked up an appetite so we went out to Lemonade for lunch afterwards! We'd been wanting to try it for ages and it totally lived up to our expectations, so yummy!! 
We spent the rest of the afternoon hanging out by the pool, so lovely to get a full day of fresh air and sunshine!

Saturday was a super fun day! We ran errands and did the grocery shopping in the morning and then Sierra, Han's college roomie/bestie came to visit for the first time!! Yeee! We chatted and caught up for a few hours then we went with Schwartz and Brittany to an opening at the gallery Brian works at in Santa Monica. They were showcasing three really lovely artists, we were super impressed!
Right nearby was another restaurant we've been wanting to try, Wurstkuche, so we went there for dinner! We had the most delicious sausages (although Han's was so spicy she almost didn't make it through) and amazing fries in this cool, hipster bar area.
Next on the agenda was Sierra's first ever clubbing experience!! We went to Lure, the same place we went with Sully, and had a fantastic night full of dancing and silliness! 
We also almost deafened ourselves, it's Monday and our ears are still recovering! The big drama of the night came later on when we got a Lyft (a super affordable taxi service) home. We reached the apartment and the driver told us she'd forgotten to start the timer thingo when we'd left! Han's credit card info was already entered into the app on her phone, so the driver just said she'd start the route and drive back to the club so it was exactly the same time. Well, 15 minutes later (the right amount of time for the ride) Han's credit card got charged for the Lyft....... $90!!!!! WHAT?! Ninety bucks for a 15 minute drive?!! Apparently there was a 200% tip added..?! Ughh so we called the driver and she was super nice about it, promising to help us sort it out, but we're still waiting to hear back from customer service. It was a wonderful night nonetheless, and fingers crossed we'll get a refund too!

Yesterday was a bit of a recovery day. We took Sierra to Cactus, still our #1 Mexican spot, and hung out for a while until she had to leave. It was so, so great hanging out with her! Just like old times!! The afternoon was a quiet one and in the evening Luce went out on a lovely date - and brought Han back some delicious Indian food afterwards! #twinning

-- Han & Luce --
Today Han's doing background on a new show called Transparent (where she saw this sign, kinda cool..!)
and Luce is going to the doctor and dermatologist. Han's hoping for a short day and planning on stopping by the most amaaazing donut place nearby the shooting location - where you can get a "wownut" (a waffle + a donut) - we've been craving it SO badly and can't wait to try it! 
Ahhh, very exciting!! Fingers crossed it'll be a wrap soon!

'Merica

It's really been over a year!! The 4th of July in 2013 marked our official moved-out-of-home status and here we are a year later, in rather unexpected but absolutely wonderful circumstances! On the 4th we had such a lovely day! We hung out by the pool with Brian, Brittany, Schwartz, and some other friends all morning, absolutely gorging ourselves on delicious food (including our patriotic masterpiece of a cake!) and enjoying the sunshine.
Around 5:00 it was decision time: party the night away in Beverly Hills or drive out to Newport Beach to meet up with family for some decidedly PG-13 festivities..... We chose option two! We met up with our cousins Sara and Darren and their kids Joya, Rumi, and Liam who were visiting from Chicago, along with their good friends and Mum and Q! It was a lovely evening making s'mores and hanging out with the kiddies! 
Better yet, Han's filming for the webseries got postponed a week so we could go out to Mum and Q's that night for a relaxing weekend away. Mum and Luce headed straight there while Q and Han went back to the apartment to pick up laundry and any other necessary stuff and we all had the most spectacular drive watching fireworks go off all across the city! Amazing!

Saturday and Sunday were the most gloriously lazy and relaxing days. We swam in the pool, lay out in the sun, watched House of Cards (Mum and Q are just as hooked as we were!), did laundry, watched the Tour de France and Wimbledon finale, and had an amazing all-you-can-eat sushi meal at their regular spot! We also had a roast dinner on Sunday with the neighbors and Han got to meet them which was lovely too. Just the weekend we needed after a hectic few weeks!

The fun just continued on Monday though! We met Sara, Darren and the kids in Disney for a HUGE day of magic and happiness - SO much fun going to Disney with little ones, we truly had a wonderful time!
We finished the night with the best seats in the house for Fantasmic and watched the fireworks over the castle as we left the park, just perfect! Then we said our goodbyes and headed home to LA for a short (but hopefully productive) week!

Tuesday was a chill, catch-up day at home, which was nice but we're getting a little restless with background work being so unreliable! Yesterday, though,  we hit the ground running with us both booked for background! Han was on The Thundermans again and Luce was on a show called Richie Rich.

-- Han -- 
It was my last day doing background on the Thundermans (because I'm a "must join" status with the union I'm not allowed to work SAG/AFTRA contracts for background anymore. So sad!) but it was maybe the best day yet! 
They were doing an episode with the cast of The Haunted Hathaways and JT was on set!! Woo! And two of my girl friends from background, Cierra and Savannah, were there too, so fun! It was also for a Halloween episode so we all got to play dress-up too! 
I fake chatted to some people, tried not to fall over while I walked in my veeery-limiting-but-really-fun mermaid costume, danced to music that wasn't playing, and had some real laughs on set - it was time for lunch before I knew it! I hung out in the lounge with JT and the other cast members which was pretty cool and they were all super nice!
Another hour and a half on set and we were wrapped! Woo!! It was only 4:45 so I went over to try on my cheerleading costume that was back from the tailors aaaaand..... It fit PERFECTLY!! YAAYY! I'm so, so happy about that! I'm filming tomorrow and Saturday and I can't wait! 
I came home for about 45 minutes then went back out to go to a bible study/church thing with JT and his friends. It's been such a while since we went to church that it took me a little while to get into it, but the pastor guy was a great speaker and really funny. I'll definitely go back! It also didn't hurt that I've literally never seen so many gorgeous guys in their early 20s under one roof, like wow..! When I got home we watched some GG and hit the sack, it was SUCH a huge day!

-- Luce --
On Wednesday I worked background for a new kids show, Richie Rich, which is a remake of the old movie and cartoon! It was pretty adorable - I played a milkshake bar patron, so cute! It was a relatively uneventful day on set though, a lot of sitting around and waiting..! When we did finally get on set the little kids in the show were so funny and talented that I found myself just watching them instead of pantomiming in the background! Hilarious. I was wrapped around 8 so I raced home to make a tasty dinner and veg out :)

-- Han & Luce --
Today we'd hoped to be working but, unfortunately, no go. We've had a great morning filling out job applications and submitting for auditions, so it's still been a work day, just one with delayed profits! We're planning on having a yummy dinner with Brittany a little later and hopefully we'll both get booked for tomorrow, fingers crossed!

Mo' Money Mo' Problem$

What a hectic/awesome/productive/fun few days!!
Monday was a big day for Han, Tuesday was a big one for Luce, and yesterday and today were big for both of us. We're keeping busy, that's for sure!

-- Han -- 
On Monday I was booked on Ray Donovan and it ended up being one of my favourite days ever on set! We were filming at Pink's, a famous LA hotdog place, and Liev Schreiber (who plays Sabertooth in X-Men and is the lead in Ray Donovan) was in the scene and I walked right past him like 20 times!! The reason it was such a great day, though, was that I'd been paired with two absolutely adorable little boys as their on-screen babysitter. We just had so much fun mucking around, they were such smart, fun little kids and totally reminded me of Eddie and Will - especially the little blond boy, Alex, he was SO cheeky! 
By the end of the scene we were getting along so well that three or four people asked if they were my kids! Alex's response was "Are you crazy?!" Hahah priceless - but really, a 19 year old mother of an 11 and 8 year old?! When the kids were about to get wrapped I met their mothers and the first thing they both said was "Can Hannah be our new babysitter??" So sweet! Buuuut unfortunately they live about an hour away from me, so it was a no go. Anyway, I only had a couple more hours after that and I was wrapped by 1:30! Woo! 
I was only home for a few minutes before I had to run back out for a costume fitting for my cheerleading outfit! I met Yosh at the tailors and they worked their magic. Hopefully it'll be a good fit for Saturday!
I stopped by Ralph's on the way home to pick up some stuff for the Indian feast that Luce and I cooked up when we got home! Tikka Marsala, banana with coconut, cucumber with yogurt, and garlic naan!

-- Luce --
I had a lovely relaxing day on Monday! After a glorious sleep and getting up to do some odds and ends around the house, I headed over to LACC because I had gotten a letter from them asking me to come to the business office..! I showed up and it turned out that I had a surplus of scholarship money left so they just handed me a big ol' check and said, "There you go, have a nice day!" Wow! It was quite a nice surprise - definitely made my day! The rest of the day was pretty chill, hanging out with Han and eating yummy food!

-- Han --
My Tuesday was chill but productive! I cleaned, filled out a job application for Outback Steakhouse, submitted online for a bunch of auditions, and hung out with Brittany in the afternoon. When Luce got home from set we had an extremely satisfying Bachelorette double feature with Brittany, such a guilty pleasure!

-- Luce --
On Tuesday I was doing background on the show Jennifer Falls and it was  a really fun day! I met some lovely people and I was there as a "debate team student" which was pretty funny..! It ended up being a 10 hour day which was long but it wasn't toooo bad - especially considering minimum wage went up today!! Yayyyy! So I got home tired but happy and excited to chill out and watch The Bachelorette with Brittany and Han.

-- Han --
Yesterday I was back on the Thundermans! Yay!! I love working that show, and it was a long but pretty easy day. I also got a little featured bit! AND I got fitted for a not-so-sexy mermaid costume (keeping it G rated) for next week's Halloween episode, so I'll definitely be working at least two days next week! Woo! I got home around 7:30 and managed to find the will power to work out, which actually felt kinda great, and I've started learning Italian on this language app Luce found which has been super fun, so I did that until Luce got home (reeeeaally late) from Jennifer Falls.

-- Luce --
I was recalled on Jennifer Falls on Wednesday and it was the longest day everrrrrr! I got there at 7:30 and reprised my role as a debate team-er for the morning which was relatively easy and then we broke for lunch around 3 and it was boiling hot! We were filming in Santa Clarita and it was 95 degrees with the sun blazing down on us.. Oh my gosh I was so sweaty! Pretty gross (haha). After lunch we switched over to a Father-Daughter Dance scene so all the girls got dressed up and had to pair off with a middle aged man to be their father for the day! Well.. It turned out that there were 34 girls and only 32 men... And guess who ended up being a fatherless orphan?! You guessed it, me! Ahhh, hilarious. It really worked out for the best because it meant that I got to just chill out in the air conditioned room for a bit longer and I also had time to flirt with the cute PA on set which was a definite plus! Eventually they needed me and the other orphan girl on set so we spent the night fake-dancing and pantomiming with everyone else until finally, at 10:00, we were wrapped for the day! Wowwwww a 14.5 hour day!! Crazy. I was completely and utterly exhausted - I'm surprised I could even drive home but I made it safe and sound and I fell into bed! Big day!!

-- Han & Luce --
Today was HUGE! We packed so much in - and didn't even get to everything!
First off we had a callback for the audition we did on Saturday. We showed up right on time aaaand they'd changed the location! On no! Fortunately there were about 20 other people who'd also gotten the wrong info, so we weren't too stressed about it. We drove to the new place - which was actually the old place because we auditioned there - and waited. Aaaand waited. Lucky for Han she had another audition at 1:00 at the same casting studios, so cool! So she did her thang in that one and it went really well! It was for a music video so she just had to react nonverbally to some different situations and that was that! We were still waiting at 2:00 and finally the casting director came out to talk to all the people with callbacks! He pulled us all over and said "So the only thing we need to know is: are you available July 12th?" We all said "yes" and he said "Okay, you're free to go!" Hahah what?! We waited over two hours to tell you our availability?!?! Completely absurd but ohh well! Pretty hilarious. Anyway, we were on to the next thing! We ran home, had lunch, and Luce got ready for background tonight - all in less than 30 minutes! Then we went over to Outback and dropped off our job apps (fingers crossed!) and only had about five minutes back at home before Luce was off to work! She dropped Brittany and Han at Ralph's to pick up baking supplies, and headed on to the Sunset Gower Studios.

-- Han --
Our baking endeavors were a total success! Except for a small hiccough because we'd forgotten eggs and had to run down to the gas station..! After we'd used every utensil in the apartment and a couple hours had gone by, we'd created three 4th of July masterpieces! 
Red velvet and blueberry cupcakes with chocolate frosting, blue velvet and raspberry cupcakes with chocolate frosting, and a red and blue velvet layer cake with cream cheese frosting and coconut between layers and berries on top! Amazing!! We had the red velvet cupcakes later tonight and they were SO good, totally exceeded our expectations! 
I had one last audition tonight over Skype which was really cool! It was more of an interview than an audition, but they seemed to really like me and want me to come in next week for an in person audition! Exciting! Since then I've been learning some Italian, hanging out with Bri and Brit, and waiting for Luce to get home - which will hopefully be soon! We're looking forward to the 4th of July tomorrow (and the awesome weekend following it!) to hang out, relax, and eat yummy food!

-- Luce --
I worked on The Newsroom today and my call time wasn't till 5 which was great because Han and I had a pretty hectic day..! I made it to set after a big fiasco with the studio's security (it wasn't really a huge fiasco - they just closed one of their gates so I had to drive around to find the other one and then waited for a reeeally long time because the security guard was so slow! Lucky I left myself so much spare time!!) Once I made it to check-in and go through wardrobe I found out that they weren't going to be filming it at the studios, but in Santa Monica which was really far away - so random! So we all got into a bus and drove over to Santa Monica and then filmed the scene. I was worried that we'd go really late into the night but they went quite quickly and had us back to the studios by 11! Amazing! The scene was nice and simple too - all the background had to do was wait in line for a lecture and then walk into the building at the very end of the scene! Also, a funny coincidence was that the cute PA from yesterday was working on this show today! Crazy! So anyway, after being wrapped at 11 I went home and had some amazing pre-4th of July cupcakes that Han and Brit had made! Yum!
