oh my ankles!

tuesday, i was cast as an "asian dancing extra" for the film rogue being shot here in vancouver. if you've ever been an extra in ANY film before, you know that the pay is weak, the p.a.'s treat you like cattle, and every time you're not in a scene, you're bored. but i must say that despite all that, i found it sort of exciting. we just had to be in a nightclub scene so really, it's not like it was too hard to get into character. and i guess it helped that i was there with a bunch of friends... made the scene more convincing. anyways, the only complaint i had was that i was dancing in a red dress with 3 inch heels on. don't get me wrong, wardrobe did a fabulous job (makeup almost made me look like a car model tho!), but for you all who know me, i'm not the "heels and dress" type, particularly when i'm going to a club. but lo and behold, if you happen to watch the film when it comes out, i'm the girl in the red dress at the club ;op

oh yes, how could i forget to mention the real stars? when jet li is walking through the club, he brushes by me (i'm about to have a shooter at the bar). the first time that happened, i was so surprised... but i totally could've just died a happy woman right there and then! jet li touched me!! ME!!! i am such a dork! and another time when jason statham enters the club, i'm exiting past him. he was so friendly. he even talked to me but all i could do was smile and nod. i've got a bad case of retarded, i know. but maybe mr. statham likes retards... yeah, right.

i wonder what my name would say in the credits?... "retarded asian dancing extra"

hahaha!

at least he didn't kick you ;-)

one thing i don't like about american karate movies is that the hero never seems to get laid. what's up with that?

jet li kicks ass.

you should watch fearless

didn't van damme get with his twin brother's girl in double impact? that counts as an american karate movie, right? and daniel-san would've gotten with mr. miyagi's daughter in karate kid 2 if it wasn't for the tsunami.

haha, those are american karate movie classics!!
