Best Day EVER (Well, except for the first bit)
So my movie-business aunt calls me the other day and says she'll be in town Wednesday to visit the new Martin Scorsese / Leonardo Di Caprio film set and she's going to see if I can come with. Sweet. So she says we'll have breakfast at her hotel, the Ritz at 8:30 and then we'll drive out to the set. So Tuesday night I text her "Are we still on for 8:30 at the Ritz?" Never hear back. So I assume we are. I set my alarm for 7 a.m. and go to bed.
I wake up at 6 a.m. or so b/c I get a text. It's from her "Can we make it 9?" I text back "Ok! 9 it is!" I get up, go to the bathroom, get back in bed and tell my bf that I'm sleeping in and re-set my alarm to 7:30. I get up when my alarm goes off, get in the shower, get ready and am on my way out the door at 8:45 when my aunt calls me.
"where are you?"
"I'm on my way. Why? What's up?"
"I thought we were meeting at 8:30."
Pause.
"But you texted me this morning and said 9!"
"No I didn't."
What?!
My phone cuts out. I check my text inbox. No message from my aunt. For the first time in my life, I feel like I could be literally losing my mind. I have never felt so disoriented and crazy-person-like in my life. It turns out, she never texted me and I never texted back. I did wake up, go to the bathroom and re-set my alarm though. It is so unsettling to know I ACTED on something that didn't actually happen. I've had tons of dreams that seem so real and when I wake up, it takes me a few seconds to realize it's not. But I ALWAYS realize it's not. I would have bet my life and my mother's that this text exchange had taken place.
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
Okay. But after that business, I had a fab breakfast at the Ritz with my aunt (who I think is now worried about my sanity a bit!) and we drove out to the set. I got to see Leonardo DiCaprio and Mark Ruffalo film a scene together and I got to listen to everything that was going on (including Martin Scoresese's (Marty) directions). It was the coolest thing I've ever seen. Oh and then my aunt introduced me to all 3 of them. Leo had just saved this little turtle and was trying to save its life by putting it in a cup of water. It was really cute. Leo and I had a 1 minute or so conversation. I'm pretty sure I sounded like a total idiot but he was nice about it. I shook Marty's hand as he walked by with his posse. He was very impressive. And I saw Mark at lunch and had a mini convo with him. He was super nice and I think I was the most star struck by him. Who knows why? I never had a thing for him before this, but I totally have a crush on him now. After lunch, they filmed the same scene again (they probably did 20 or 30 takes). Leo and Mark were joking around between takes, singing and making fun of each other. At one point, they both got the giggles and couldn't get through the scene. It was pretty hilarious.
It was really incredible to see how it all happens behind the scenes. I'm really looking forward to seeing how this scene turns out in the film. It was an amazing experience and the first (and hopefully not only time) that I was glad I lived in Boston.
And then I came home and bf had cooked a nice romantic dinner for me. Awww.
It was definitely a good day. Even if I think I'm on a one-way train to the insane asylum.
