The Daily Grind

Sometimes strange things happen to me. Things that throw me for a loop. Things that totally make my day.

Today my good friend Big Dick Hunter, who is one of the most intelligent, fun, radio hosts I know (and cute too) sent me an email. He emailed to let me know he was doing an interview with Simon Pegg (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz) about his new movie How to Lose Friends and Alienate People. Knowing that Simon had a part in one of the Doctor Who episodes (2005 Doctor Who episode "The Long Game”) Big Dick Hunter asked me if I had any brilliant geeky questions to ask Simon. Of course I do. (With a little help from Eli.) Below is my email to Big Dick with the questions.

-----

Richard,

Oh my god I am so fucking jealous! I adore him. Tell him there is a porn star in LA that wants to.....oh, nevermind. ;) I am sure the line forms to the left.

Ask him if he can still recite the full name of the Jagrafess.

Which new Doctor is his favorite - Christopher Eccleston or David Tennant? As a child I am sure he grew up watching Doctor Who...did he hide behind the couch when the Daleks came on the telly?

And I need to know if there is going to be a season three of Spaced.

Don't ask about Star Trek or Mission Impossible 3. Unless you have to. The geek world has no hope for the new Star Trek.

And if all else recite Shaun of the Dead at him. "There is no "I" in team...." ....no, on second thought, you’d better not.

I want your job!!!

I know you are crazy busy...hopefully we can talk soon.

Kylie

At 1:02 pm I received a text from Big Dick:

He took your email and answered all of your questions on tape! I will email you the mp3 he knows who you are btw.



At 1:07 I get this one:

He told me that you have inspired him to commission a Tshirt that reads “porn stars can be geeks too”



Brilliant. That all totally made my day. I am smiling from ear to ear.



Then at 6:20 comes an email with the mp3 of the interview and this note from Big Dick:

Here is the interview with the outtakes included at the end. You can hear him take my iPhone and read your email, responding to your questions along the way.


And he did. (In that fabulous accent) It was really cool. Big Dick handed Simon his iPhone and on the recording you can hear Simon reading my email, commenting and answering my questions.

• Simon Pegg knows who I am.

• David Tennant is his favorite new Doctor. “Much more fun, like Tom Baker” he said.

• (And joking) “And tell her Star Trek is going to be brilliant.“

• “You must say hi to her for me…”

While I can’t share the outtakes with you (I know, sorry) you can hear the actual interview (great interview too) by clicking on the link below the photo Big Dick Hunter and Simon Pegg. The last 2 questions are mine; about Spaced and the Jagrafess. Simon’s reaction cracked me up.

Yup, I went all fangirl. Sheesh. But there are moments like that when I am just floored that famous people know who I am. Cause, oh, I don’t know, I am just so…me. It’s pretty neat to have a moment like that. It’s also pretty great to have friends that will do stuff like that for you. Thank you Richard.

The 186th day of ’The 8th Day’

The 186th day of ’The 8th Day’


6:13 am Friday, Aug 15

The sun is coming up. I can't sleep. Coherent thought is sketchy at best. A couple hours ago we wrapped what we are jokingly referring to as the 186th day of 'The 8th Day'. I am angry, tired, frustrated and most of all sad. I know much of what I am feeling is sleep deprivation. Lack of sleep makes a person strange.

'Angry' comes from this movie in general. This is a prime example of trying to make a movie with half as much money as we should. I hate that I have this work ethic that won't allow me to do anything half-assed, even if the end result of doing it right takes its toll on me physically, mentally and emotionally. I quit the movie a few days ago but I am sticking it out because the director (Ren Savant) is a close friend. All my other closest friends are also working on the movie, for the same reason. And the finished product will be good, no… it will be great. Because we care about it. Damn it.

'Tired' because in the last 4 days I have gotten about 12 hours of sleep. Well okay 13 ½ if you count the nap I stole at 2:30am, the first time I had more than 10 minutes to sit down because my job was mostly done for the moment. Mostly. If you don't count clean up and the fact that it will take days – I am not kidding – days to get my home back to some semblance of a normal living space. Tired because Tuesday and Wednesday included physical labor and 18-20 hour work days in the direct heat and sun as we created a post apocalyptic future in a Bellflower paintball park. Did I mention last week was pretty much the same deal? Long ass days, hot as hell and exhausting work as we tried to stuff in all the prep and full shoot days into each day because this show doesn't have the time or the money to be done the way it should be. And I also want to mention that in doing the Production Design for 'The 8th Day', my department started well over a month ago. My department. That's so not fair. The people working with me are my friends, they are like me; stubborn, hard-working people who kick-ass and take names to create a fabulous end result that really, in the grand scheme of things, few will ever see. Or notice. Because if we do our job well you won't notice. Then again, its porn so really, no one will notice.

A couple weeks back my friend and wardrobe girl Lexi Lamour asked me why I do it, so much hard work. I told her that all this work, the month of prep, the long-ass days….it's worth it because there is the 'moment'. That 'moment', I told her that day on my downtown patio as we sat there wiped out after a long day of shopping at thrift stores, was not right now. I told her that that 'moment' will happen, that beautiful, self fulfilling moment will happen…and I will let her know when it does. Those 'moments' have occurred. The Pavillion Tent dinner, the Suite, the Bazaar. When done I looked at those sets and got chills. Tears welled up. I danced in the bazaar, turned in circles taking it all in, proud, joyful and accomplished. However on a movie like this – which is, by the way, THE hardest movie I have EVER worked on – you begin to wonder of those 'moments' balance the moments that are NOT.

My other friend, David, who is also working on this movie but was smart enough not to join me in the art department (we worked side by side on Upload) despite the fact that he is a natural at it, repeatedly asks me why I put myself through this. The heartache and the hard work. I have thought a lot about that over the last few weeks. And last weekend, after I quit the movie, I was watching a 'Doctor Who Confidential' (yeah, yeah, I know) and despite my exhaustion and the fact that I wasn't even ON the movie anymore, I hopped up, grabbed a pen and paper and started taking notes, sketching, and planning. I was inspired. And I thought of David and his words and his concern. I truly love Production Design, Art Direction…I do. It brings out a passion in me; passion and pride. And creativeness. I enjoy it. And I am good at it. Oh, I am good. The hard work doesn't bother me, sure I bitch about it, but really it's all good. However I am not a miracle worker, and killing myself and those around me, dismantling my life, my home and my sanity for that 'moment' is not acceptable.

Above I listed angry, tired, frustrated and sad. Frustrated; see above paragraphs. 'The 8th Day' is making me hate what I love. Sure a lot of this emotion is brought on by the sleep deprivation, dehydration, physical labor and so on. I have cried at least twice a day on this movie. And I am not the only one. Men and women on this movie alike are breaking, cracking…each in their own way. What does not kill us now…will kill us later. On 'Upload' the show motto was "No one here gets out alive", on 'The 8th Day' we have been saying "The only way out is through." No one should be expected to or have to do what we are attempting to do with this movie, trying to bring it in at less than half what the budget should be. Will the movie ever end? We have already pushed back and rescheduled nearly half the days. As of right now we might be wrapping by the end of September due to varying schedule conflicts. Overworked, underpaid and underappreciated. Is there anything more frustrating?

Yes. And it is that I am now sad. My heart is breaking. One of my best friends, one that I have known for over 8 years, is not talking to me. I fear the damage might be permanent and that breaks my heart. A fight, so unnecessary and really over nothing at all, brought on by stress, sleep deprivation and exhaustion. An explosion that should have never happened. One that caused ripples though the entire set and made the day more difficult. I slept for an hour and a half and the instant I woke up my brain clicked on and went to him and our friendship, our situation. My heart aches. Sorry seems to fall short. After the fight I sat down in from of my loft on the sidewalk in a pile of filthy canvas from the Pavillion Tent walls, and sobbed.

Another friend, a girl, is so overwhelmed and exhausted she spoke to hardly a soul all day, and especially not me. Her husband, yet another dear friend, is quietly holding it together, barely. Bryn is beaten and exhausted. We are fighting at least once daily. It's hard to watch such good people falling apart at the seams like this. Everyone is beyond exhausted. We are all doing this for our friend. If it wasn't for the fact that he was directing I believe every last one of us would have walked off the set last week. Or probably run...screaming.

Sure there are a few good moments, some laughs. And as I say,"It's all part of the Adventure." Even the worst experience makes for great stories later.

Cracked, splintered. Frazzled, frayed. The only way out is through.

And we still have four more days. Shoot days. Three times that with prep days and clean up. Fortunately they are not until September.

(Caw Caw.)

Okay, I am going to try to sleep now.

No, really.

SexandSubmission.com Features Kylie Ireland

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SEXANDSUBMISSION.COM FEATURES KYLIE IRELAND
"Scorching" BDSM Scene with Mark Davis Includes Fisting and Double Anal

SAN FRANCISCO (August 8, 2008) – Legendary Adult Actress Kylie Ireland marked her first appearance at San Francisco's Kink.com this week, paired with Mark Davis in a scorching BDSM scene at SexAndSubmission.com. The feature-length scene, "The Submission of Kylie Ireland," clocks in at 92 minutes -- one of the longest updates on the site.

Ireland also discusses her kinky side in a short video now live on BehindKink.com, Kink.com's free documentary site.

Ireland decided to shoot with the San Francisco based studio due to her own interest in BDSM as well as at the urging of WiredPussy.com director Princess Donna and Kink.com regulars including Mark Davis and Derrick Pierce, her cohost for the Friday Night Three-Way at Playboy Radio. "A lot of the stuff I direct is bondage related," said Ireland, "and the girls will tell me what they've been doing up here; I've just been hearing so much about Kink.com."

Of her edgy scene with Davis, Ireland said: "We actually get to push the bondaries more than we usually do in the adult industry -- this really freed us up to see what kind of trouble we could get into!" According to the company's website, that trouble included fisting, double anal and the inventive use of an anal bondage hook.

"The chemistry is off the charts and the moments of intensity are riveting," the SexAndSubmission.com site says of the scene.

Ireland's two-day sojourn at Kink.com's San Francisco Armory also saw her shooting for bondage site Hogtied.com with site director Matt Williams in an update that will go live in the coming weeks.

Ireland burst onto the adult entertainment scene in 1994, winning AVN's Best New Starlet award, back-to-back Fan Favorite FOXE awards, and being named one of Playboy's top 10 porn stars for 1997. She was again honored by being listed by AVN among the top 50 porn stars of all time in 2001, and inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame in 2005. Now the veteran of over 400 adult movies as well as being a seasoned director, Ireland has also appeared in manstream projects like Tales from the Crypt and Strange Days. She is currently preparing to launch her own production company, SlutWerkz, offering "Hardcore filth for men, by women."
