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.

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. :)

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. :)

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.

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!

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 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!
