So my career as an extra has thus far proved to be... interesting? (Much like the equine industry) everything seems to be last minute, constantly changing, and nobody's ever QUITE sure what's going on till under 24h before it happens. My friend and I got our confirmed call time at 8:50 this morning, when the initial call time we'd received was 12 noon. Keep in mind it takes 1 1/2h to drive to the filming location....
Anyhow, at 10:30 last night, they didn't know what today's call time would be since they hadn't finished filming. So this morning we got our call time: 5pm.
Their estimated time for filming to be over for today? Between 3 and 4 am.
The reason it had been bumped up by 4.5h? They ended late last night.
Okay, if someone can help me understand why ending late last night means we should bump things back so we can end even later tonight, I'd love to know.
In other news, the concert was fantastic. Noel was hilarious, and the music was superb. Additionally, the drummer of the opening band had awesome shoes.

A Host of Updates
First off, I'm not sure if anyone read Sad News: For Sale, but if you did then you'll remember my comments about a show called Murdoch Mysteries. Well, last night they emailed and they have space for my friend (Laura) and I on Wednesday's show! So it looks like we'll make it on the show after all. They may very well cut our scene, but alas I'm in it for the Victorian era clothing, not the fame and fortune that comes with being an extra ;)
Next, Cadence and I had a wonderful jumping lesson. We worked on getting that nice round jump, something that we tend to lose since the Mare has enough ability to easily pop over anything we present her with. As a result, she gets long and flat, and avoids building muscle. We also came within millimeters of squishing my coach's dog, since she ran out into the middle of the grid we were jumping. It effectively backed Cadence off though! Something I'd been much less successful with.
Lastly, I'm off to see Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds! My excitement levels have sky rocketed. Ciao!
