We have 2 new pets at the office. Ryan had the brilliant idea of getting roaches to run around a shitty old motel room as part of the scene to make it seem even dirtier so our production assistant / hair stylist went to the pet store and bought 2 Madagascar roaches. Mind you, the store keeper only had 2 left so Carissa paid for the roaches but refused to take them home for the night. Instead she paid for them, left them there overnight and picked them up in the morning to bring to the office. She said she was down with whatever but she refused to babysit roaches at her house. Wendy our office manager named them after a Korean dish that she doesn’t like called BibimBap.
She normally loves Korean food but this particular dish “grosses her out” because of the raw egg, hence the name for the disgusting looking bugs. We used them at the motel on Saturday and now they are safely back in their cage. I want to keep them for our Halloween shoot later this month. They are sort of growing on us all, they kinda fit in with our gang!
