just kidding
it looks like i'm not leaving yet after
all
because you can't enter hungry if your
passport expires in less than six months
so
i'm in la for another week and i'm
headed to santa monica
the far away mystical lands that no one
in los angeles ever likes to go to
because across 405
to get him an expedited passport right
now
[Music]
because of this whole passport situation
i'm basically going to be a week behind
and fight choreo compared to the rest of
the cast which you know doesn't give me
anxiety at all even though most of the
other casts are professional martial
artists and wushu champions yeah
so luckily our director ron yuan hit up
his friend tsuyoshi and asked him to
train me here in los angeles so we've
either been going to a martial arts gym
or training at my home let me tell you
your girl thought she was in shape
whoo
using a whole lot of muscles i did not
know i had
yeah
what
really
are you sure about that you really want
to go outside
all right let's go for a walk
[Music]
so
[Music]
so
[Music]
yeah look at that spooky time such a
nice spooky time it's spooky over the
house i'm not staying away from there
that's weird there's a haunted house
right there
it's a witch house
ghost is gonna be cursed and then you're
dead right baby girl tell us to tell us
what we're doing right now let me tell
you the tale oh we're going to a place
this person is talking about that oh my
god okay this is what it's like driving
in l.a okay
we're going to rei
together in the courts
because we live in los angeles where
it's 72 degrees yeah
there we go wow
i see your little finger wobbling about
i'm doing a lot of zooms now that i've
figured out
what the zoom is this got the
zoomies and so then after rei we're
doing twin time right now good time
right now which is basically where we
force each other to go on errands that
we just to go on
so we go together
so first we went
to
get a cover test or she did and everyone
was like okay i guess this is just a
with her
and then we went to the commissary
and had coffee and split tacos
michelle did not finish her arugula no i
didn't we got it we're still in my teeth
though
i'm you know i stuffed as much as many
leaves in my mouth as i could oh you
know what's crazy is that people come in
here and they're like i want to spend
the night outside for a few nights and
then they just come in here and drop a
ton of money to sleep outside the
people who shop here like dirt
when they could pay for a hotel probably
with that money that they spent on like
a tent they're not afraid of bugs which
i don't understand no it's really hard
for me to understand
this
place
do
so
well
uh because i'm not leaving my schedule
is the most empty i have ever seen it
which is both
incredibly relaxing and terrifying at
the same time and i'm gonna have plenty
of time this next week as i wait for my
passport to come in to work on my script
my screenplay i currently have a show
with
daddy netflix in development
and that script is due on the 18th of
november so i've been hacking away with
my co-writer maggie levin one of the
things i learned from reddit that i
really adopted is this one screenwriter
said every three months he or she churns
out a new script
and i
love
the assignment let me tell you your girl
loves an assignment she loves homework
so i thought this was a brilliant way to
be held accountable for
churning out material i have felt
incredibly insecure as a solo writer for
a long time i very often hide in writing
partnerships because that way you
celebrate together and you can also be
demoralized together versus when i have
a piece of work that's purely my own i
don't feel like i have someone else to
also hide behind so it was really
important to me last year
that i strengthened my confidence as a
solo writer so i adopted this predator's
rule every three months i churn out a
script it's been amazing i i will say
having the discipline to write making it
a habit you know has been really
empowering i think creatively there's a
couple scripts i've come out with where
i'm like okay i don't really i don't
really see the point in that i don't
think i need to work on that anymore but
it was a fun ride i learned a lot thanks
next the only thing crazier than writing
which is sitting in front of paper or a
computer and hallucinating is reading
which is also sitting in front of a
computer or a paper and hallucinating
writing is purely self-generative
hallucinations whereas
reading is absorbing somebody else's
hallucinations
fascinating
tell us what game we're playing we're
playing settlers of catan okay of which
i've only lost at twice
[Applause]
i lost twice but i had only played it
once
[Music]
you know what i just realized is my
nightmares are getting so
sneaky and advanced so
i'm a pretty
lucid dreamer
if i am having a nightmare i can
normally find something to read realize
it's gibberish and then wake myself up
almost all of my nightmares in the last
year have occurred where i'm right here
i think i'm awake and i think i'm
experiencing something horrifying and so
i have no reason to suspect i might
actually be asleep although i will say
one time i had a dream i was paralyzed
in bed a lot of paralysis actually
and
i called my friend michelle and jason
who live close by i was like struggling
to get the phone and call them because
there were there was someone after me or
there was someone in my house and said
hey please help there's someone at my
house please help
and i was paralyzed here
and i somehow
like was trying to move ended up on the
floor and jason my friend jason is
basically
ted lasso when we first watched the ted
lasso tv show all of us couldn't stop
laughing because we were like this is
jason
so in my dream jason and michelle come
over and jason goes what are you doing
on the floor get up the police are
coming and i was like that's too mean
jason would never speak to me that way
absolutely not this is a dream and i
woke up
so i think my barometer for dreams now
has to be where's jason let me talk to
him if he's if he's anything even
remotely unlike ted lass so
this is a dream i'm out of here
um but no actually i'm very terrified by
by my dreams uh evolving i don't like
that i don't like my nightmares evolving
no thank you i don't want that i don't
want that no no no
