I was Promised Puppies, Polo Players, and Ponies.

Your mind goes to crazy places when it only gets 3 hours of sleep. In bold I will write the weird thoughts I had while my weird day progressed. 

1:00AM

Mistake #1- Staying up until 1am watching Game of Thrones when I had to wake up at 5am for a Photoshoot.

For this, I blame Emilia. I mean, common. Sure it was my idea to start the series that night, but you could have talked me out of it.

Or you coulda tried.

"Everyone is naked. Why is... why is everyone naked? How does this at all move the plot forward? WHY IS THE ONLY HOT GUY NOT YET NAKED?"

4:00AM

"Do Superheros shower? They must shower all the time. All the time. All that sweat fighting crime? Or they must smell like an overworked construction man."

5:15AM

Arrived at Alexander's place (the guy who contacted me about the shoot.) 

He lives over a comic book store!!! What a kick ass place!

Max Baird, Nate Bartlett, and Stephen Ling arrived.

Coudln't be more stoked they were on the team. 

"Whoa. This kid's apartment looks like Tony Stark's vacation destination."

5:30AM- 7:30AM

Normal day, picked up $3,000 dollars worth of film equipement,

Sat next to Alexander's camera lense, which is 1 of 3 created in Soviet Russia during the war.

But more exciting, we saw this douche on the road:

"That guy definitely has a car seat in the back."

8:00AM

Arrived at Polo Club.

"It is too early for anyone to be that happy, Mrs. Polo Club Owner. I won't be that happy until I see puppies."

9:00AM

Hair and Make- Up = Done.

"These other models are nice. You never know if they're going to be total dicks or sweet people, just trying to make their way through life by letting men photograph their bodies. You never know."

10:00AM

After waiting an hour in the sweltering heat, suddenly, 1,000 things occurred at once.

In no particular order:

1. They brought us water!

2. The Helicopter arrived to take the arial shots of the Polo players.

3. Did I mention they brought us water?

4. THE PUPPIES CAME!!!!

5. This might seem like overkill, but water.

6. Water and a helicopter.

7. PUPPIES.

11:00AM-1:00PM

"When are we supposed to shoot? I'm drinking so much water, as soon as they say action, I'm gonna need to pee like a horse... haha pun intended."

"I knew it. I'm trying to pose, but I really gotta pee."

"I feel so awkward! My pictures are going to look awkward... What would Tyra Banks do?"

"Shoulda watched more Top Model."

"SURE I'LL HOLD THE PUPPY NO PROBLEM."

"Whew. Never been happier to see a Port-a-potty."

"That's a wrap? That was quick. I'm so hungry I could die."

"The car is so warm...and fuzzy... Want-to-talk-about-Superhero-movies-but-falling-asleep-"

2:00PM

I arrive home.

To an email about the work meeting I forgot about.

"Fuck."

3:00-4:00PM

In the meeting. Wishing I was dead.

"Wow. I keep cracking lame jokes and interrupting my boss as she's trying to run the meeting."

"Wow. I can't believe I just thought about that as a matter of fact, and didn't really care what they may mean for my employment here."

"Wow. That last joke WAS really lame."

5:00- 8:00PM

At work. Still wishing I was dead.

"I am acting so happy to coach this new employee. Someone give me as Oscar now, because another 10 minutes of this and I am going to strangle her to death from lack of sleep."

8:00PM

Fellow employee comes in to cover for me.

"I'm... I'm actually starting to feel good! No- maybe great! I feel alive!!! Sleep? Who needs it? My body is resilient. Did Aragorn sleep when he was looking for Pippen and Merry? NO! Maybe I'll go work out! I feel adrenaline pumping in my veins-"

8:15pm

I pass out on my couch.
