First, I'd like to give a little message... HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN MICHAEL BOLGER!!!!!!! Ahh I'm so glad I got to get on a computer today.
So anyways, yesterday I was at Universal Studios in Hollywood, and I was pretty sure there was something going on Public Enemies related. Maybe. I'm not sure. But that would be awesome if suddenly they were "following me"!
As most of you (do not) know, I am currently in California for a film internship/convention thing. It was really last minute that I got to go, and it's really amazing.
I can't say the trip has been uneventful, however...
I was picked for a random security search at the airport that included a full patdown, and they dumped my entire backpack out, causing me to nearly miss my flight. Then, after I got here, it ended up that my papers hadn't cleared. Although everything finally worked out, it was super stressful.
Now, though, it's super amazing. We're making a short film, get to talk to actors and producers daily, and learn all sorts of neat things. Yep. I love L.A. Yesterday we went to Universal Studios, which was awesome, and tomorrow we are going to the Santa Monica pier and Venice Beach. WAHOO! Then on Sunday, we're going to attend the L.A. Film Festival. It's almost overwhelming. I've also made tons and tons of amazing friends. It's kind of like a convention of nerds that aren't really all that nerdy. (There's 5 conventions, with film being the biggest. Law, Medicine, Business, and Leadership are the others.)
I'll be coming home on Wednesday (however much I'm wishing I don't have to) so maybe I'll see some of you then! When I get home, there will be lots of pictures to share!
THIRD WATCH quote of the day:
Cruz: I on the other hand, have to get up every day, by myself, and talk worthless pieces of crap of ledges! Now I'm not going to ask you again. GET UP!
You've already had your fact of the day. It's John Michael Bolger's B-day!
No Johnny Depp quotes today. Instead, a quote from a new friend group about him.
Jenna: Johnny Depp called me last night.
Me: But Johnny was at my house last night!
Liz: What? I don't get it. You were here in California last night... OH! You're JOKING!

Why Does EVERYTHING Cost Money?
Plane tickets are so majorly expensive. Seriously. And they don't go for the "I'm a poor student with an opportunity awaiting me in California" thing, no matter how true it is. Couldn't they at least let us pay a little later?
If you haven't noticed by now, or haven't spent any significant time with me by now, you'll realize my family runs on a last-minute sort of world. Mind you, I'm supposed to be leaving for California TOMORROW. And yet I still don't know if I'm going or not, which means I don't have my ID tag or T-Shirt from this thing, because they don't know if I'm going, either.
Ugh. That's all I can say, and I'm starting to lose hope.
However, I did have a fun weekend, which in turn earned me a little bit of money (even though I was under the impression I was volunteering). My neighbor does a weekend camp every year for some church kids, and I helped out, 48 hours-12 kids-3 camp counselors. And I got to say, I miss those kids... No matter how wild they were, they were still cute and fun.
Also-you may have heard a tidbit about this on the news-the Chilton Morrissey Park Project. I helped out there, too, 9 1/2 hours, building a new playset/park. That was pretty fun, too, but I sprained my shoulder. Ouch.
As for filming, I have a neat little update about myself-ish, and about filming. Sounds like today is going to be the last (or close to last) day of filming. It's a little sad, in my opinion. I'm going to have to find a new obsession...
But also... I still can't believe I even met so many actors and awesome people in the first place, and it ends up that people are actually reading my blog! And... do I dare say... people in high(er) places than what I expected! I just recently sent out 4 CDs of my John Michael Bolger videos, and if you were around at the time when I got the email (Abby, perhaps?) you know how excited I was about that one. And also the fact that I got to pass on a little message to John Michael Bolger. That made me pretty happy, as I am such a Third Watch fanatic.
Although I've been so busy lately, I haven't watched any episodes recently. *sniffle*
As for right now, though, I gotta run, because I need to keep trying to figure out this California thing, or even if I get to go at all.
And I'm really sorry, but I'm skipping the quotes/pictures today. I just don't have any time!

Congrats and Filming Fun!
I'd like to give a shout-out/congrats to a friend... who is going to be an extra in Chicago for Public Enemies!
(Jealous... so. extremely. jealous.)
Filming:
Wrapping up Milwaukee filming tomorrow, any time between 11 pm and 5 am. Perhaps I can convince the parental units to allow me to go after my soccer game?
Heading back to Chicago after that. Only 19 days left to film! :-( It's kind of sad...
Premiere! Date has been MOVED UP to a release of March 10th, 2009! That's now less than a year! I'm so pumped.
As for my friend's surgery, well they opened her up and after looking at her intestines decided that they only wanted to take the appendix. So good in some ways, but now she has a huge scar when it could have been a tiny incision.
That's all for now, because I kind of think I have the flu and feel like crap... slept until after 3 pm today, missed swimming, and don't feel like doing anything, so... I'm going to wrap this up quick (kind of like the film crews! Tee Hee I made a funny)
THIRD WATCH quote of the day:
Bosco: Fat-free half-and-half. Isn’t that just milk?
THIRD WATCH fact of the day:
My brain is on idle. So... Tia Texada was recently on CSI: Miami and The Unit as a guest star. Not much of a fact, but interesting to say the least.

Disappointments and Friends in Need
Turns out that I won't be going to filming. Probably for the best, because we would have been driving through rush hour anyways. The filming is in Milwaukee at the Historical Society today if you'd like to go for me :-)
I only have a minute right now to make a post, because I have to get ready for swim team pretty soon, and since I'm not going to filming I also have soccer and a few other things today. Actually, I'm only up already because I had a wake-up call (literally) about whether or not we were going to filming.
Please pray for my friend, Rachael. She has Crohn's disease and will be undergoing surgery today, so keep her in your thoughts and prayers. It's been pretty tough on her. She's a very close friend of mine, and I'm proud to say she's been really strong through all of this.
Me, Rachel, and Rachael
One more thing... although I am very, ahem, disliking towards NBC, I would like to say that Fear Itself is a great show. Check it out.
OH! Right. This appeared on YouTube. Any fan of Public Enemies/Johnny Depp will enjoy this. A kiss scene!
Also, a clip from in between scenes.
VERY good, and very close up!
THIRD WATCH quote of the day:
Yokas: In the fifth grade I was faster than any other boy in my class. But my teacher said "something must’ve been wrong with the stopwatch." Said "run it again."
Bosco: And?
Yokas: I was so pissed off I ran it faster the second time.
THIRD WATCH fact of the day:
Ed Bernero made an appearance on thefirst season of The Apprentice. During that episode, you are able to see a bit of hustle in the background which consisted of preperations for filming.
THIRD WATCH picture of the day:
Interrogating a prisoner... who, in fact, has radiation poisoning and a large amount of hazardous materials on him at that very moment.
JOHNNY DEPP quote of the day:
You make the bed with your paws, the pajamas you get with your teeth. Because, in fact, being a dog, you haven't any proper digits, have you?
-Finding Neverland
I can't get over how hot he looks, especially with his Public Enemies hair. Although I can't get over how hot he is in general.

Updates and Craziness
Long time, no post! Yes, it was in fact graduation weekend, and thanks to all the wonderful weather, I got stuck in Sheboygan saturday night at my friend's house. Friday night=Christian High Graduation, Saturday=SAT's and multiple grad parties. So now that it's Monday night, I decided that it may just be a good time to do some posting :-)
Right now 30+ counties in Wisconsin are under a state of emergency, including Calumet and Sheboygan, which is where I've been lately. Basically, Calumet and across is the top, all the way down to the bottom. And a possibility of more storms tomorrow, while I stand outside. Maybe we can sneak our way into the actual filming?
Tomorrow is going to be a reunion of The Oshkosh Crew, or at least part of it. However, I really don't want to say where at the moment, because I am very selfish and want Johnny/others to myself. Just kidding. I will say that it is somewhere that has been waiting a VERY long time. If you know anything about Public Enemies, that narrows it down a bit. Side note: This will also be the first time I won't be arriving before 10 am. I have swim team practice from 12-1 pm tomorrow, and I'm skipping soccer (I feel AWFUL about that one) to go :-(
It's going to be a good time, even though my car probably will get stolen or something... does that narrow it down some more?
The question remains-will there be a Johnny Depp? Oh. Right. HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Gawd that man is hot for 45. It's only a 28 year age difference, that chick from Sex and the City has that difference w/ her boyfriend... (Ahhh.... I'd better stop now.)
And Happy Birthday to Jason Isaacs, who is only 2 days older than Johnny Depp. My other love.
You know there's a problem when Captain Hook is sexy...great movie! Peter Pan 2003 version.We'll get to Alan Rickman, Jason Wiles, and others as we go :-)
That's all I've got for you today really. I want to go watch some Johnny movies and brush up on my knowledge before I go to filming.... and prepare a little better than last time. I don't think I can survive another sunburn like Columbus.
Pictures! Gotta share some filming pictures, since that is the theme today.
Shooters on the roof!
A small bit of crowd from Wednesday, April 16th in Oshkosh.
THIRD WATCH quote of the day:
Prisoner: Well, at least I know how to do some math, b****. There’s a whole bunch of us and one of you.
Cruz: Fine. I’m scared. I’m gonna be over in the corner trembling, b****.(LOVE this episode! Season 6, Leap of Faith)
THIRD WATCH fact of the day:
Many of the actors on the show were actually married/engaged to each other outside of the show. Molly Price (Yokas) and Derek Kelly (DK) met and got married from Third Watch. Anthony Ruivivar (Carlos) and Yvonne Jung (Levine [seasons 5-6]/adoption agency lady [season 3?]) are also married, and have an adorable son. (I may have said this already. I'm really out of it, very tired)

JOHNNY DEPP quote of the day:
I beg pardon, but why am I the only one who sees that to solve crimes, to detect the guilty, we must use our brains to recognize vital clues using up-to-date scientific techniques.
-Sleepy Hollow
And... a Johnny pic. I don't want to make a section for this, but... he's just so... ;-)
Time to go watch some pirates, with the commentaries by Johnny :-) Need to brush up on my Pirates facts, especially since I went and bought myself a Pirates towel for swim ($7.50 at Wal-Mart!)

Good vs. Evil - The Epic Battle
What happens when you take two amazing actors, of whom I love dearly, and pin them against each other in a historical moment, causing one to die?
Natalie losing her mind thinking about what the scene is going to seem like.
That's right folks, I have just found out today (because I don't know very much about the 1930's) that it is Martin Zarkovich that guns down Dillinger.... In other words.... Johnny Depp vs. John Michael Bolger. YIKES!!!! This is going to be one movie in which you don't really want to be sitting next to me.
So what's up with A&E having Third Watch on only at 6 in the morning? I'm only asking this because my friend, who used to make fun of me for being, ahem, obsessed, is now... OBSESSED! Hahaha I do good work. But the problem being, summer is coming, and no one wants to get up at 6:00 am if they don't have to. Unfortunately, I don't even have A&E, so I don't really have a problem with the time choice!
Speaking of Third Watch... statistics show that the DVD release of Season 1 is proving to be significant enough to release Season 2. When, you ask? Good stinkin' question! Shall we wait 3 more years? Hopefully not.
And a bird just landed on my window screen and freaked me out. Anyways.
Back in the days of Third Watch, there was a certain actor named John Michael Bolger that portrayed the character of Lt. Johnson. Although not a major starring role, he was in many episodes during seasons 2-4. Guest starring alongside Derek Kelly and Bill Walsh, they made a firefighting team. Eddie Cibrian was the bigshot firefighter, but the funny stuff came from the reactions of the other three (at least, in my opinon) to the things that Jimmy did. Such as the mushroom casserole, could this day get any more exciting, and so on. The most intense moment, which is the explosion, and John Michael's second-last episode, is one of the best Third Watch moments... not because it's funny, but because of it's intensity... so here's the clip. (P.S.-John Michael Bolger did his own body-burn in this episode) This is part of the season 4 finale, The Price of Nobility. After watching this clip, you may understand their reasoning for the name of the episode.
If you haven't been watching the news lately, you may not know about California Universal's fire. They had a huge fire that burned through many famous exhibits, along with some rolls of original film of movies. It took over 400 firefighters to put out, and there were several small explosions that occured during the fire. There were problems with low water pressure in the attempt to put out the fire. As of right now, the fire allegedly seems to be caused by roofers using a blow torch. Here's an article about the fire. http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5ieKlEB60J43hDZ39AB9VmsPZ72sgD912HMK00

A little note to Universal, I hope everything goes alright with the clean-up and rebuild of the studios. That really is a terrible loss, especially with the trademarks such as King Kong, Back to the Future, the New York set, and Miami Vice. I was almost crying when I heard about it, because Universal is very close to me (with Public Enemies, and also that I would love to work for them one day), and my friends and I are keeping you guys in our prayers!
One little Johnny Depp fact to finish the day off. For those of you who, like me, lack things such as cable or dish, and have only 10 channels, the MTV movie awards took place as scheduled at Universal in California, and Johnny Depp took home best comedic performance and best villan. YEAH!THIRD WATCH quote of the day:
Bosco: With your head the echo must be deafening.
THIRD WATCH fact of the day:
Not one season of Third Watch passed without NBC threatening to not renew the show... That was one of the reasons for the extremely intense cliffhangers after each season finale. One had originally been planned for season 6, but after a short notice of cancellation, a complete script rewrite had to be done.
And yes, Becky-Rachel-Terri, I am still doing these quotes/facts by heart.
THIRD WATCH picture of the day:
Crossover episode with Medical Investigation (a failed attempt to save a failing show-meaning M.I.)
JOHNNY DEPP quote of the day:
I can't see, f***mook, I have no eyes. -Once Upon a Time in Mexico
I can't help but give another Johnny Depp picture... especially one from the MTV awards! Any bets on how many millions of people were confused by his new haircut?
I've seen videos of Severus Snape/Hans/etc. (Alan Rickman), Bosco (Jason Wiles), Lucius Malfoy/Tavington/etc. (Jason Isaacs).... on youtube with the song... "I'm to sexy..." you know the one. Johnny totally fits that song. I'm sorry. But he does.
And yet I do not consider myself a crazy fan girl. Hmm..... Okay, fine. I'm a fan girl, and I'm slightly crazy, but I'm not a crazy fan girl. Does that make sense?
