DJ Holy Body's Blog - Chapter 16 (A Science Fiction Novel)
I tried the acting thing for awhile in LA. It was pretty cool actually. My first speaking role was for a show called Telling Stories of the E.R., and my character name was Kendall, the X-ray technician. My only speaking line was to keep yelling "Clear!" every time there was silence from the doctors and nurses. On the one hand, it was funny because I was named Kendall after a freaking Ken doll. On the other hand, it was twisted because it was one of those sick government jokes, meaning dry humor and meant for non-civilians.
Pushing around that X-ray machine was sort of a chore, and because the engine made a noise the machine had to be pushed around with the power off. The people on the set told me they knew it was a heavy machine to drive around, but to make it look like it wasn't heavy. It was a simple job.
And then there was a video I did for the Liontology company. Dude, those people consider ibuprofen to be a hardcore drug! wtf is up with that!? So that's why I had a headache the entire day. Well, that plus I had a hangover. All they could offer me was a drug called niacin, a substance that is an overflow of B-vitamins that makes the skin itch from head to toe. The Liontologists take the niacin and convince themselves they are cleansing their bodies. I chose to stick with the headache rather than have a headache and itchy red skin. I didn't bother telling them I had a minor hangover. I thought if ibuprofen is a drug in these people's book, then alcohol must be up there with crack and heroin.
