Ok... So I actually lived out a horror film yesterday... I had a flight out of LA at 9:22 to Toronto... I had a car picking me up at 6:00am.... Lets cut to 7:30 that morning and I roll of my couch... I passed out watching LOST episodes I Tivoed and forgot to set an ALARM... So I FREAK quickly grab my bags - and my two pets and FLY out the door...
7:35 - I am curbside and as luck would have it the driver is still out there patiently waiting... He calmly exits the car and says "Late night sir..." to which I respond "Pretend your James Bond driving in a high speed chase and get me to LAX"
7:36 - HIGH SPEED DRIVING BEGINS - twisting and turning through North Hollywood...
7:37 - GRIDLOCK TRAFFIC... We aint moving...
So now there is no way in hell we are getting from Studio City to LAX by 9:22 let alone the one hour prior I need for check in... I fall back against the seat exasperated and sigh... The driver tilts his mirror a little to get a good look at me...
"You okay" he asks...
I respond "Afraid I missed my flight"
He smiles and goes - I used to be in the military and I am never late... and with that my man went into hyper drive taking back streets, dirt roads and gravel paths...
8:45 arrive at LAX (keep in mind my flight leaves at 9:22) I bolt from the car after hugging the driver who has now become my best friend (side note - if I ever plan a heist he will be my driver) and rush to the terminal...
8:46 MASSIVE LINE - I panic... Not making my flight... not making my flight... not making my flight... THEN A VOICE... the voice of angel??? no not an angel... I know this voice... THE DRIVER????
"MY MAN HAS A FLIGHT TO MAKE - MY MAN HAS A FLIGHT TO MAKE make room people... and with that the driver pushes his way through the crowd, and SOMEHOW gets me to the front of the line...
8:48 TICKET COUNTER... I show my passport - the ticket lady looks at her watch - "Sir that flight is already boarding..." she sees the pain in my eyes... then turns to see the "don't fuck with me" look in the drivers eyes... "Ok... we have to hurry... Put we have a small problem..."
"What problem" I ask...
"It's to cold to board your dog in CARGO..."
Now people - You have all met my dog CHANCE in a previous blogg... Now meet my cat ZOE...
Don't let the picture fool you... She is an angry bitter cat who sometimes I believe is plotting my death...
So in one hand I have my cat... in the other my dog...
"Well sir, all I can offer is that you take one pet on as a carry on item and have the other sent to you at a later time..." the ticket lady says.
So I stand - at a crossroads... which child do I pick... The cute puppy who is still just a baby??? Or the cat who will kill in my sleep if I anger her in any way?
8:50 - My heart breaks as I make my choice...
8:51 - I hand the other pet to the driver who is to bring it to Evolution to deal with sending it to me...
9:00 - Bags are checked...
9:10 - Make it through security...
9:15 - Make it on the plane...
So... which animal did I choose????
So yes, Darren is back in toronto getting the pre-production of SAW III started.
