last day for shooting

ahoy, last day for shooting in china. i'm sitting around waiting for my scene to begin.
i'm working on a documentary that i'll be showing at my show in austin if i can get it done in time. it's tentatively titled "warter beck." the title comes from one of the crew guys i've been working with on the film shoots. his name is zhung kun and i think he's around 20 years old. he's the boom operator. anyway, he only knows about five english words so one day in between scenes it was just me and him in the room and he turned to me having never said anything to me before and said, "warter beck." i looked around and said "what?" he gestured to the bed he was on and swayed a little. "warter beck." i realized he meant water bed. so i tried to teach him that it was "wah ter bed." he couldn't get it and kept saying warter beck. it was amazingly funny and i wish it was on film.

have to go finish story later.
