The Latest...

=> (May 6, 1999) Oh, baby!  What a hottie!  While heading up to snowboard with two of my friends, we noticed trailer trucks for a movie.  Shameless in my pursuit of the interesting (and needing to kill a few minutes) we slowed to a halt and read the sign near all the trailers.  The movie was "Reindeer Games" and happened to be the new Ben Affleck movie filming in Vancouver.  We vowed to loiter outside his trailer at the end of our day and continued on to the parking lot.  The day was fun but uneventful until, when deciding whether to go left or right at the top of a lift, we spotted a gorgeous guy in a white muscle shirt and overall ski pants to our left.  Left it was.  

We causually slid over, myself on a snowboard and my friend Stephy on skis.  I slipped forward a bit when bending over to strap on my binding and bumped into Stephanie who was waiting for me (our other friend, Jen, was still on the lift).  As I slid into her, we both kinda went, "Oh!  Oops.," and the hot guy turned around.  Lo-and-behold...it was Ben Affleck in all his glory.  Oh...my...God!  He was so hot!!!  Anyhow, he went speeding down the hill and Stephanie started yelling at me to hurry up so we could follow him and yelling at Jen to get off the lift (which couldn't be helped because she wasn't going to jump off mid-air) but then he was gone.  <sigh>  So we went through phases of denial and grief and chalked it up to a close encounter of the babe-kind.

=> (April 20, 1999) Oh-so many up and downs as a Watts daughter!  I am playing Erin Watts on the season finale episode of Millennium which airs May 14th.  It is entitled "Via Dolorosa" and involves an extremely angry Frank Black!  My scene begins with the four of us (apparently Taylor is back again at college) eating dinner in the evening.  It was actually nine o'clock in the morning, but they had big black tarps so it looked like it was night time outside.  Frank Black storms onto our back porch, picks up a chair and bashes in two windows, sending glass flying (apparently this will be shown in slo-mo).  He procedes to kick in the door and point a gun at Peter Watts, my father.

We, meanwhile, have jumped up from our meals and rushed to the hallway where we stand fearfully until Watts yells, "Get them out of here!  Go!  Get out of here!" to my mom and we rush off down the hallway in a panic.  Frank proceeds to tell Watts that he's been in on the thing with Jordan all along, "First it was polaroids and now videotape!!!"  Watts vehemently denies his accusations, saying, "If it was the Millennium group, I would know about it, Frank!"  They continue to yell (well, mostly Frank) until Frank suddenly realizes that it isn't my father who has been doing it and he does indeed know nothing.  "I came here to put a bullet in you, Peter," he says, "But I don't have to now.  The Millennium group will do it for me."  

Apparently the episode ends with a shot of a man's legs, remeniscent of the trousers Peter Watts wears, lying dead in a studio.  Nooooo!!!  Not my dad!!!  Well, it's not for sure.  Nobody really dies in Chris Carter's world.

I was wearing blue jeans, a greenish striped shirt with an army green blouse overtop and a silver necklace for the scene.  It will be quick because we're in a panic, but you'll definately see me.  Everyone was so incredibly nice.  I had been sunburned from snowboarding so the make up lady had to spend quite a while covering it up.  It was a little surreal to look over and see Terry O'Quinn on my left and Lance Henriksen on my right getting coifed for their parts.  Both of them were hilarious and Terry gave me a big hug when we had to leave (Lance Henriksen giggling is about as surreal as you can get).  

We were sitting in the kitchen of the house as they were setting up another scene and Lance looks around and says to Terry as if in character, "This is a nice kitchen you got here, Peter."  Terry nods and him.  Then Lance (Sig Sauer .45 in hand that he uses for the scene) says, "Well how would you like a nice skylight??" <bang-bang-bang> as he pretends to shoot out the ceiling. "Or a nice...<bang-bang-bang> picture window!!"  (He pretends to shoot out the wall.  Terry goes, "No, Frank...we already got one of those."  He says, "Fine, then I'll just make ya a nice, stairwell to your basement!" <bang-bang-bang!> and he shoots at the floor.  Other funny moments were Lance pretending to make Terry "dance" with gunfire, etc.  These two were hilarious when they got going.

I was so sad...I didn't want to go!  I almost feel like I'm actually losing someone because I don't know if I'll ever see Terry or Lance again.  Everyone on the set was so friendly and kind.  I would work for them any day.

=> (March 31st, 1999) Well, I finally went for it and pieced my belly button on Monday.  It didn't hurt at all, which wasn't what I thought it would by like, so if you're thinking about it - don't worry!  It's more a pressure like someone's pinching your navel than "Ow!".  I'll get a picture of it so you can see my lovely tummy :o).

=> (March 25th, 1999) While filming a television series for the new series presumaby coming out in September or October called The Masters of Horror and Suspense I discovered that Michael McKean (aka: Morris Fletcher...the guy who got body-switched with Mulder in the Dreamland / Dreamland II episodes of X-Files earlier this season) was the lead!  

Michael plays Bill Masters and as far as I could tell he's a regular guy who inadvertantly finds himself in creepy and suspenseful situations and possibly solving crimes.  He was really nice!  We talked briefly about doing X-Files (he said it was not hard to come to work in the morning and hit on Gillian Anderson all day <g>) and his role as the "mock-olate" guy on Friends.  I kept doing double-takes when I'd see him out of the corner of my eye all day.  

The co-lead (possibly his wife in the show) was the secretary woman in the episode Shadows from season one.  I'll update you later on the details as they arrise.  They didn't end up using me for the scene but no doubt I'll be back in future episodes.  

=> (March 3rd, 1999)  It's A Girl!  Well, that's what we chose, anyway.  The newest addition to our family happens to be feline...  She is a ginger (orange, stripey and fuzzy), which is apparently rare for female cats to be, and nearing eight weeks old.  She is adorable!  After going nameless for five whole days (it was getting to the point where my family members had stopped speaking to each other on account of rejected names that had been some else's preference), the Bradey family now welcomes:

=> Emma Gillian Bradey <=

She joins Caleb Chicago (grey cat, age two) and Shadow (black lab-cross, age six). Yes, my family is weird and we give our pets middle names, but I'll have you know that we didn't name our dog because his name, admittedly, is wholly unoriginal.  Pictures of my little bundle of joy (who peed on the floor today and I had to bathe her) to come soon!

=> (January 29th, 1999) They're here!  My Millennium pics are here for your viewing pleasure (for those of you who weren't sure which one I was, or missed the episode)

Second-from right in the first picture and far right in the second two looking at Jacinda (aka Taylor Watts) opening her birthday present (which turns out to be a pink sweater).   

Pretty much self-explanatory...it's me!  Holding hands after saying grace with my mum (Mrs. Watts), the hand in the foreground was holding hands with my dad (Watts).

Thanks to my good friend Angie who got all these pictures for me (visit her site at the Shipper Cavern).  Let me know what you think!
