degrassias - what generation?

I found this little note from my first day on set at Degrassi. in 2007 I was doing a bunch of random jobs that summer including background work and PR.

I started thinking to myself as I sit here in Holding for my first day at Degrassi High.... Here I am working on a show I’ve never seen surrounded by a bunch of people whom either I’ve only met over the last six weeks or never seen before. Its great, as I hear the sound of “Its Raining Men” on the set, I’ve managed once again to avoid being used or getting on camera. It’s a total dream when you get to spend the day sitting in Holding, getting paid to do whatever it is your little heard desires until they call for lunch or “everyone on set”. I’m hoping that today I make to lunch at least. I'm hiding in the back area hoping not get get noticed or called.

Made it past lunch. Thank god. Unfortunately, I had to walk past the cast a few times on camera holding hands with Jessica as if she was my girlfriend. Someone in the cast is at a gay bar with a rich guy and from what I can tell he is barely, if even at all out of the closet to his friends on the show (or in real life.) I wish I had seen this damn show at least once.


Turns out that guy did come out of the closet and I still, to this day, have not seen the show. Something totally 'fab' did happen that day; I was given a pair of boots from wardrobe because I didn't bring any heels with me. After we finished shooting for the day I was leaving the set heading to the TTC with this totally hot babe and completely forgot to return the boots. They are amazing and I still wear them. I will not describe them or show pictures in order to endure they remain mine. (imagine cheeky smile)

cold? snug.

I was feeling quite cold on Sunday as I was lazing around. A friend suggested something called the Snuggie. Have you heard of it? Snuggie seems like a really weird word to me, look at it, 'SNUGGIE'.

I think this unit is following me around. Later that day I saw it on TV and today I got an email offering me a buy one get one free special. I think it's silly, however, I'd have to try it to find out just how useful it could be. I'm thinking it may be practical for an outdoor sporting event. Especially if you had a few sewn together so you could keep the whole family warm. Family size snuggie. Feel free to take advantage of this offer that was in my junk mail. I don't need it. I have heating, blankets and many lovely sweaters from New Zealand that my Nana knit.
