True email written to Rex today, right before the kids and I crashed out for a late nap.
" Hi babe. A location scout from The Terminator just came by and took pictures of the house. They are interested in using us for filming. It would be a six month gig – Sarah and her son’s new home. It would pay (insert ridiculous amount where we'll probably sign our lives away but if we could actually replace the laminate from the photo, and maybe our 1974 toilets, it'd be worth it.)
They like our casa because it is “very Americana” and “non-descript.” “Clean” but a place where “terminators could hide in peace.”

We've had location managers here before, but never has a Terminator crew come to the home of an actual living Terminator - my little robotic Rex. He would be stoked. I'll keep you posted. But probably not in detail. If we get the gig, I'm sure we'll be signing away all rights to speak or we will be detonated.
How's everyone's Monday?

I mean; really? that's interesting.
As long as your home doesn't get terminated, it could work. Especially tempting with old toilets.
ReplyDeleteLiv sent me over to find you re: BlogHer conference. Can you email me?
That's awesome. I'll be looking for your 1974 toilets next season!
ReplyDeletewoah! that is BEYOND cool! Nobody does that in rural Iowa. Damn.
ReplyDelete"Where terminators can hide in peace." That's great. It also makes me think of small children for some reason.
ReplyDeletewoooooooooow!
ReplyDeleteyou live the COOLEST life....
if the P family becomes homeless, you could come visit your suburban friends to the south!
That is so...neato!! Will you have to live elsewhere during that time? I know not how these things work.
ReplyDeleteIt's too easy, but.....
ReplyDeleteThe Location Scout says to y'all "I'll be back!"
Cheesy, I know. Enjoy your set decorations. I think you should insist on having them replace yer stuff (toilets,etc) if they're going to use yer pad....
dammit.
ReplyDeleteyou get location scouts at your house, i get the local police because of the drunk downstairs.
dam-dam-dammit.
I KNEW there was a reason I should be living in Cal....I think this is waaaay cool.
ReplyDeleteExcept for that non-descript part.
I think it is a very *scriprt* home!
I wonder what MY house would harbor...oooh. The mind boggles.
Do you think Brian Dennehy might be in this?? *Oh please Sue...*
Love you,
Sue
That's kinda cool....what would you do, then? Rent an apartment for 6 months? I suppose you would have to clear all the stuff out of the house too.
ReplyDeleteWhen they got done, you could super clean and paint and re-arrange and maybe even buy new stuff with the money they would give you....oh....tempting!!!!
Good luck!
Terri
Great. Now my husband wants to marry you.
ReplyDelete!
ReplyDeleteYou are so much cooler than I am. My house is very "Americana" and "non descript"! Why don't they want to use MY house?
Well who's Monday is going to compare to *that*??
ReplyDelete(or Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday....)
Hmm....trying not to be jealous. Losing the battle very quickly. ;)
ReplyDeleteWell, that is so cool, and they might keep you in mind anyway!
