Boo!
Heart of toad and leg of newt,
Kylie's ass and bamboo shoot,
Chloe's smile and bat wings three,
This is the spell they put on me.
Tricks and tits and wicked games,
Burning heat of devil's flames,
Two young witches, learning new,
Beware the charms they use on you.
-photo and poem from my movie MisSpelled

Okay, I promise not to be the crazy old cat lady, but since everyone is following little Willow's progress I thought you might want to see some too cute pictures.
Hiya!

Disneyland Quick Recap
Can I begin to tell you how great it was to take an entire day, go to Disneyland and forget about the rest of the world? Yessss! Didn’t even take the cellphone.
When we first arrived we were waiting to meet our friends who were in line for Space Mountain and decided to zip into some new ride called Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters…we found ourselves in the middle of a video game! They give you these laser blaster guns and you shoot at stuff for points while spinning your car around. This ride rocked! So much so that we went and grabbed our friends and went right back for another round of blasting.
We hit all the usual suspects, all the big rides; Space Mountain, The Matterhorn, Indiana Jones, Splash Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain. We rode the King Arthur Carrousel (I so love real carrousel horses and have always wanted a real one for myself), Alice in Wonderland, Snow White’s Scary Adventures…visited the Haunted Mansion that was all done up in it’s yearly Nightmare Before Christmas dressing and giggled at how New Orleans Square wasn’t complete with watermarks on the buildings.
In the beginning of Pirates of the Caribbean where it goes dark, Bryn grabbed my tit and I, being a smartass, squealed into the dark “Hey! Somebody grabbed my boob!”…the guy in the row in front of us said “oh, sorry!”.
It was great fun that of course was over too soon so we decided to buy or annual passes (hey, they credit the day’s ticket and parking), after all living in downtown LA we are really only about 20 minute straight shot down the 5 to Disneyland. Now with the passes we can go to California Adventure and if it sucks not feel like we were ripped off (actually I heard it’s not bad). I can also do all the stuff at Disneyland you never have the time to do, you know, the rides you skip over to make sure you get in all the cool ones, and so on. If we get all stressed and overworked we can drive down and go on a ride or two, have a hot dog and kick it for a few hours. I think having these passes is a fabulous stress reliever and I can’t wait to use them more.
We are actually considering going to Disneyland for Thanksgiving.

Japanese Bukakke
For those of you who might be trying to figure out what the hell is going on here today my loft (if you are watching the cams), there is a Japanese Bukkake movie being shot. The entire crew and the girls are Japanese, only one guy speaks English. The girls are cute as pie though and they LOVE Buster the dog.
The guys are all American black guys so there is a whole lot of cock flying around the set today. Some good-lookin' guys through and a few I shot for On Your Knees Bitch. I personally don't get Bukkake but it is amusing to watch it being filmed and in my opinion at least they are doing it right - with little Japanese actresses who are all about looking horrified and humiliated. They squeak and squirm.
What I find amusing is that with all these black guys on the set, they got take-out from KFC for lunch.

Disneyland!
What is this? Disneyland?
I am actually taking a day off. And I fucking deserve it. I work 6-7 a week in some fashion or another and I deserve a day off. Besides we are about to embark on a very busy November - 2 movies for PXP, one for Adam & Eve, and a whole slew of productions shooting at my loft. And also a business trip to Alabama and Mississippi to scout for locations for Bryn's upcoming mainstream movie...more on that later.
But now...off to the land of Cheshire cats.

Enabling comments
Okay, I am going to try something new here in the Daily Grind - the "Enabling Comments" option. Now I have previously disabled this option of my online journal due to the fact that there are a bazillion assholes out there who like to say mean and rude things and I simply don't want to play babysitter to everyone.
To use the comments option scroll to the bottom of the post and you will see a bold purple "No Comments" - meaning no one has yet commented - or a number of comments; "3 Comments" for example. Click on whichever it is and type away.
Before you post stop and think...are you saying something that other people will be okay reading? Because these comments can be read by anyone (especially now that The Daily Grind is accessable on the visitor's side of my site as well). Other people can also post comments on your comments. On the other hand this is an oppotunity to share your thoughts on stuff I have written or am talking about in the Daily Grind. Share your thoughts on a movie or ask a question. I will try to answer comments and questions directed to me. I will also not hesitate one flat moment to delete what you have to say if it is inappropriate. This site is run by and monitored several times daily by ME so keep that in mind. So, that being said, let's see if we can all behave like adults here, okay?
Tell me what you think.

Wallace & Gromit
Just got back from seeing Wallace & Gromit - The Curse of the Were-Rabbit at the theatre. Lots of fun. Even better than the shorts. I thought it was a great movie and a welcome distraction from the hecticness of everyday life. A good laugh.
Just thought I would share.

The miracle of Editing...
Editing is an amazing thing that many overlook in the moviemaking process. This clip (originally from The Shining ) that my friend sent me is a perfect example how editing can change a movie preview entirely into something else.
Shining
Brilliant.

Hi there!
At Platinum X the directors also pick the photos that will go on the box covers (front and back), photo galleries for the website and photos for PR. This means I get to go through every photo from the shoot, five scenes and the box shoot plus more and pick the cream of the crop. This can be a very boring job. Fortunatly every now and then I come across little gems like these...
Hi there!
That's Missy Monroe in the middle of a scene for Taste Her Ass 3.

Goofin' around
Making movies can be a lot of hard work, but really, you have to stop and laugh at what the product really is that we are making here. A sense of humor is required and usually the set is a fun place to be...
I am ready for my close up!
This is during the boxcover shoot for Taste Her Ass 3 with Flower Tucci and Trina Michaels.
Damn directors are always hamming it up.

Willow report
For those of you who are asking about little Willow the kitten - she is doing fine! She is walking, albeit a bit wobbly, but actually taking STEPS after only a week of steroids and therapy and love. She is spoiled rotten and we have only had her a week.
She went to the vet today and to get a check up and her first kitten shots. The vet has reduced her steroids and the therapy continues. Before we know it she will be running all over causing trouble. She is still completely fearless, goes with us in the car on errands and was even standing on the dash of the car while we were driving on the freeway.
It is amazing that after one week this little kitten that couldn't walk AT ALL is now cruising around pretty normal. It fact as I type this she is trying to attack my fingers on the keyboard. Good kitty.

The Mews-letter
It was 10 in the morning, the second day of the movie shoot, on location in downtown Los Angeles. This was also the second day of the big Chatsworth fires and the temperature was already at least 95 degrees and climbing when Todd heard the mewing coming up from the alleyway between the old red-brick buildings. He peeked out the window and saw a little patch of grey fur dragging itself lamely down the alley, mewing as loud as its tiny lungs possibly could. Todd had to go through six different people from the building the shoot was in and the building next door to get the big padlocked gate which blocked off the alleyway opened so he could slip in and scoop up the kitten, saving it from certainly being baked in the hot sun.
Of course everyone squealed and fawned over the little kitty when Todd brought it inside, but the squeals faded to expressions of sadness when they soon discovered that her little back legs didn’t work, they were just floppy and she apparently had never had use of them in her short little life. But yet she tried to motor around, dragging them behind her, her big round eyes curious and full of feistiness.
This is when Bryn, the director, aka my boyfriend, called me at home asking me to look up the local animal shelter, telling me only that they had found a kitten that couldn’t walk and surely would have to be taken in. A short bit later, numbers and addresses in hand, I showed up. He asked if I had seen the kitty and I said no, and that I really didn’t want to. I was expecting, from the tiny bit of info I had, to see a mangled, dirty, half-crushed kitten who needed to be put down and my heart certainly wasn’t up for that on this hot Thursday morning. I wandered into the kitchen where most of the crew was hanging out having bagels and coffee and said hi to everyone. Kari, the assistant production manager and a friend of mine asked me if I had seen the kitty yet and as I said no a little grey head popped up from between the miniature cereal boxes and bagels. I squealed. She was so cute. Those huge slate-blue saucer-eyes looked at me and I melted. Once I realized her will to live and her energy I knew this kitty, back legs or no, would not be going to the pound.
We all started calling everyone we knew (in the movie biz there are a lot of soft-hearted animal rescue types) determined to find someone who could adopt her or find her a home. Unfortunately there were few return calls due to the rescue operation with the Chatsworth fires. Everyone on the set wanted to adopt her but all of us already had 3 to 5 rescue cats of our own at home. As the day went on she had earned the name Drag Queen (for obvious reasons) and had become the shoot mascot and a furry little bit of sanity in the scorching heat. She would slide around on the floor, legs behind her. The strange thing was that she could twitch her tail around, which made us wonder if she wasn’t really paralyzed like we had thought.
One of the actresses, Cindy, came in and proclaimed her love and vowed to take her home. She had many rescues at home and said she would take care of her. We were a bit wary, not of the actress or her care but of the fact that this was a special-needs kitty and the general concern was that this kitten needed a human with a no-cat or one-cat home who could commit the time she needed. Cindy and her boyfriend were set to take her home after her scene was done for the movie.

Kitten-ey Goodness
When we returned to the shoot, Cindy was still working but the little girlie-kitten was gone! Sharon, the production manager said someone from downstairs had come asking about her and took her. We were all a bit baffled by this. Cindy finished her scene and left. It was late that night, as we were wrapping the shoot for the day when a man brought her back to us and said that her momma was rejecting her and could we still find her a home? We of course, said yes, and the kitten came home with Bryn and I.
That night Bryn proclaimed that tomorrow I would take her to the vet and see what they had to say about her. That if she was going to live we could keep her for a week or two and find her a home. We agreed that although she had already stolen our hearts we couldn’t keep her – we have 5 rescue kitties of our own and a scruffy old dog. Not to mention that it wouldn’t be fair to the kitten since she obviously needed 24/7 love and care to bring her into a home where our schedules were erratic at best.
Kitten and I went to the vet at 2:00 in the afternoon; she rode happily and fearlessly in the seat next to me in a soft-sided kitty carrier with the top open. She is the most fearless kitten ever, not afraid of carriers, being moved, bright lights, lots of people – nothing. Just a whole lot of curiosity. When we got inside the vet’s office she wasn’t even afraid of the two big black barking mastiffs that were there for their check-up.
The veterinarian’s diagnosis: She is a girl (hey we weren’t sure!), about 5 weeks old and other than the floppy back legs and a small ear infection she seemed healthy. The vet proved there was feeling in her feet by the good, old-fashioned method of pinching them (she mewed!) and $108 worth of x-rays proved that she wasn’t paralyzed. The vet said it was more likely that in the womb that she had a pinched nerve that didn’t allow her back legs and muscles to develop properly. She was concerned with the quality of life a kitten who couldn’t walk would have; trouble being able to urinate/defecate properly, grooming and cleanliness trouble, problem with the legs being dragged and developing sores which could lead to gangrene. I had tears welling up in my eyes, not wanting to have to do the right thing and have this sweet thing put to sleep. But the vet then told me that she wouldn’t put her down yet, that perhaps with steroids and physical therapy the kitten could walk again, that she would recommend trying that for a week or two before making any decisions. She also added that her own kitten had a bad leg when she was little and she is now able to walk just fine.

More kitten
After a quick trip back to the different location we were shooting at that day (Friday) the decision had been made that Bryn and I would keep her for awhile and give it a try, that perhaps we could help this little furball to have a better life and a good home. We actually had the next couple of weeks fairly open with no scheduled shoots or travel so this was a good time. We took her home, fixed her up a little kitty corner in the spare office/makeup room with pillows and towels and the kitty carrier, gave her a wee dish of water and some soggified dry kitten food.
She has an amazing appetite, drinks plenty of water and is active as could be. She is pooping and peeing pretty normally, however a litter box is a foreign object so far. We have been sitting in her room for hours each day, working her wobbly back legs and teaching her to stand… and you know what? As of today, Sunday, she can stand on all four legs pretty well, can curl her back toes and claws and actually makes the occasional try at a step. She tries (sort of and from far away) to scratch her itchy ears but just doesn’t have the muscles to reach them. She has discovered that she can push up to climb over things. There is still a lot of progress to be made, she doesn’t yet understand how to step forward, but we are working on it – after all it is only day 3 of kitten-therapy.
We have to keep her separated from the other cats since the kitten is too young for all her vaccinations and tests like Feline Leukemia. Our five are curious and jealous. Especially Basil and Julius, the kittens of the group. Boo really couldn’t care less. Tweek is pissy as all hell and is being cranky to everyone who gets in her way, human or animal. We try to shower them with extra love too but are routinely given the cold shoulder. Buster the scruffy old dog sniffs at her then gives us the “oh, not another cat” look. The kitten thinks Buster is pretty neat though and likes to play in his tail, much to Buster’s dismay.

Meet Willow
Last night we tried to come up with a name for her, since Drag Queen and Queeney weren’t working for us or her. We ran through a plethora of mostly bad names like Eileen (well, she does); Pisa (as in Leaning Tower of); Tragedy; Blixen (Cuz you can’t really call her Prancer, Dancer, Dasher or Comet); Vespa (pretty quick on two wheels); DiMaggio (she sliiiiides); Shirley (for Shirley Muldowney, the drag racer); you get the picture.
And finally settled on Willow, being that she is thin and grey and bendy with floppy limbs, and Willow was the name of the street we sere shooting on that day. She doesn’t answer to it yet but she’s pretty smart, give her a day or two.
Last night we put her in an over-the-shoulder front-loading ferret pouch (a bit like a kangaroo pocket) and went for a walk down to the corner and back with Buster, she was wide-eyes and fascinated and half-way home zonked out sleeping with her face smashed against the see-through netting.
Today we took her on a big adventure to PetCo, Fry’s Electronics and the grocery store, all in the ferret pouch. She is just in wonder of everything and nothing really seems to bother her except the wind (hmmm, Wind in the Willows?) She tried very hard to stay awake but usually ends up falling dead asleep. If there was ever a candidate for a leash-trained kitty, this is the one, well that is after she learns to walk.
The story continues, but I think we’ll get her walking. She really wants to climb over things, and that requires back legs. But, boy, once we get her muscles in shape, we’re really gonna have a little ball of trouble all over the house.
