I’m in Calabasas, at a new house in a gated community. It’s got a pool. The walls and carpet and everything are on the white side of things inside and the orange side of things outside. You know the kind of place I’m talking about. It’s Guy’s house. I’m Guy in the movie.

This morning, Guy overslept and walks outside to see a raging pool party in honor of his mother-in-law. So I’m made up as if I overslept. This is a good way to start shooting a movie! It’s good to know that for the first scene it’s okay to be tired, to look tired, to not be your best self or worry at all about forcing things. Not that I look bad at all — I’m made up today in the trusty hands of Michael, who will be with us for the duration of the shoot.

Here’s the other thing to write about this morning: names. I’ve met about 25 people so far. Please don’t quiz me on their names! But I look forward to working with the same people for many days and getting to know them quite well.

Okay, it’s almost noon. My first scene will shoot soon. The RED camera is up and running now, shooting establishing shots of all the gossipy ladies in the hot tub. So I sign off for now.
