I am really, really sore.  As I write this, I'm sitting in my motel bed, propped up on pillows.  I have a huge bruise on my thigh, a bruise on my lower back and I seemed to have pulled the quad muscles in both of my legs (I think it's from sprinting in those heavy boots.  I would think I'm using different muscles than when I run just in sneakers...either way, it kills everytime I have to do a running scene).  I also seem to have gotten pretty sunburned as a result of today's shoot.  There were a lot more stunts and physical stuff today.  I had to leap over a railing (8 feet to the ground), over a wall and land on the ground...in addition to just taking lumps and bumps doing combat rolls and such.  I'm not complaining though...I'm having a blast.  It's like being a little kid again and running around my backyard playing guns with my friends (is that in poor taste? sorry).  These past two weeks have given me the "acting bug" something fierce.  Although, I wouldn't mind the day coming when I will actually get a stunt double!  I would have no problem with the stunts...if there was SOME safety measures taken...other than the cushions from one of the producer's sofa (I'm not kidding!).

  Tony Moschetto went home today.  I was kind of tired last night and didn't really get a chance to go into detail on his performance yesterday.  And if you haven't downloaded his .mpg clip from yesterday's update, definately check it out.  Tony was awesome!  He really was.  We watched some of the footage last night, and both the director and producer were totally digging Tony's ranting scene (one of the few glimmers of humor in this film...it's a pretty serious movie).  And the only thing funnier than his takes, were his outtakes.  My stomach was hurting because I was laughing so hard.  Hopefully, we will have a bunch of outtakes and a completed scene or two to show at the Comedy Studio (or some other place if Rick isn't down with it) within a month or two.

    But back to Tony...he's perfect in this role!  Seriously!  We've had one scene together (it is brief) and then I have to come back on Sunday to film the scene where I kill him.  We were goofing around today, likening it to the first time DeNiro and Pacino were in the same scene together in HEAT.  Although, at least Tony and I are onscreen together and not just cut together with closeups.  It's a moment that will go down in the annals of film history!  The first onscreen meeting of Keating and Moschetto! Ah, who cares....

    Also, we have come up with a phrase that we encourage all of you to try and work into the American vernacular.  That phrase is: bacon fuck.   It's  a verb....To Bacon Fuck.  It comes from when you order eggs over easy and you break the yolk, making it runny.  Then you take either a piece of toast or bacon and poke it into the yolk.  But it just sounds so violent and offensive.  Someone pisses you off, so you say to them: "I'm gonna open you like an egg yolk and bacon fuck you!"  Work it in where you can!

    I need some sleep!
