Let's Make This Quick!

So I have a few minutes before I must make my long trek to Santa Monica for the day. Life so far:
I have started Extreme Bootcamp. This will be the ending of my second week, though I did miss 3 days last week due to Comic Con. (More on that later!) So far you ask? It's kicking my ass left right and up down! Let me paint you a picture...

My alarm goes off at 530am. I get up, get ready (this being finding a clean workout shirt and shorts then putting on my knee brace and shoes.) then head off to Barnsdale Park in Hollywood. When I arrive I have to lay out my mat and weights (10 lbs) and we start. First up is some in place cardio to get the heart pumping. This includes jumping jacks, boxer shuffle while punching, speed bagging, uppercutting, then on to high knees, ass kickers and the like. Then some stretching, which is nice... but then come the situps and pushups in all the delightful colors of the rainbow! After the warm up we usually go on a run. (Well, speed walk for me.) Then back for whatever hell they have planned for us that day. Yesterday for example was this lovely thing aptly called "Suicides"! The way they work is this: There is a very long, very steep hill leading up to the top of the park where we do our thing. So they have us grab our weights then run down to the bottom of the hill. Once there, we drop our weights and have to then run back to the top of the hill, then jog down, then turn around and run three quarters of the way up and jog back down, then half way up and back down and so on and so forth. I threw up a little. Yeah. Nice. Then when we were done with that we had to grab our weights and lunge step all the way back up while doing different arm curls! Oh! And we had to run part of the way backwards! After this was over it was back to the mats for some more pushups and situps then stretching.

So needless to say I do that 5 days a week! I feel great afterward, but during I think I am going to die. Literally!

But as I said, I did miss part of last week due to my favorite time of year. San Deigo Comic Con! This year, though fun, was also quite a bitch too. This is the second year there that I am going for both fun and work since I help out with filming Geekscape's Comic Con Spectacular! This year was different though since I had more to do. I actually got to interview some folks on camera and some audio as well. The on camera interviews were nerve wracking since the first set I was thrown a curve ball and given people I did not prepare for. (Though I was told by our editor and chief that he really liked my interview style and that I am a natural... which is nice of him.) I did get to interview Chris Evans(Not Another Teen Movie, Fantastic Four), Dakota Fanning(Way too many movies for her age), Alex Proyas(Director of The Crow and Dark City) and some other people. That was alot of fun. The best though was getting to hang out with Seattle people I never get to see... and the industry parties! Oooooh the industry parties! You cannot complain about open bar, free food, free swag, free Nerdcore concert (yeah, I got to meet and hang out with MC Lars and MC Frontalot... want to touch me?!) and playing some cool games! It was fun, but exhausting. I can't wait til next year... but boy am I glad it's a year away! (Oh and I ran into my dream girl, Zooey Deschannel... she didn't like me... broke my heart!)

So to wrap this all up. Bootcamp and Comic Con: Hard and frustrating but oh so fun!

And my dad gets into town today, so I need to come up with some fun things to show him while he is here!

Off to some hush hush game testing! See you all later.
