In the early 2010s, Cape Girardeau, MO was chosen as a location for some of the filming of Gone Girl. I lived there and it was the talk of the town. People were running into Ben Affleck at the local Andy’s and shit.

Meanwhile they put out a casting call for extras. I didn’t care about it but of course my girlfriend and her cousin went psycho about it and signed us up. We waited in line with at least a thousand other people only to finally get up there, and all they did was take a headshot and send us on our way. The girls were all disappointed that there wasn’t anything else to it while I the introvert just laughed about it.

Until I was the one they called back. Not only that, but it turns out they picked me to be a stand-in for Boyd Holbrook. I spent a week hanging out on David Fincher’s set, occasionally doing work while trying to avoid getting in trouble for doing things like accidentally sitting in Rosamund Pike’s chair. Then one of the assistant directors’ mother died and he had to leave, so they “promoted” me to production assistant. At one point I was sent to look for and found David Fincher’s missing iPhone.

Fucking surreal man. But I’ve got the 20th Century Fox W-2s to prove it.

During times when I’m using a nose tampon, if I get tired of changing the tampon I’ve tied a bandana around my head so that it is bundled up right under my nose to soak up that low viscosity drip.

I use the Bingilator to create images for invites to my weekly donut meetings.

I got ROCm to work on a 7800XT after fixing some Python errors. It was quite unstable though.

I think they actively want WW3 so they can play out their end-times-left-behind fantasies they’ve been nursing for the last 20 years. What are all their ammo hoards for if they don’t get to use them?

I love your OA caveat. So true.

Oh please don’t let this keep you from watching this show. This show has at least two of the best end-of-season reveals of all time (first and last season).

And it still holds up and is fucking funny as hell.
