a day on the set of "ugly betty"

a day on the set of "ugly betty"
which is now, i'm happy to say, filmed in new york

i've never really watched the show
but it was fun to be a part of
fun and looong

fifteen hours
standing around
talking with everybody
acting shocked when a 400 lb. ice sculpture got pushed over
take after take, time after time

these actors work hard
well, if not exactly hard, then at least looong

it'll be a great episode
i'm one of a group of the "new york elite"
at a magazine launch party

drama ensues, believe me
in a very camp, telemundo way...

another of life's odd experiences
existing in an almost real word

it'll have to be looked at again someday
through dumbledore's pensieve perhaps

or, at the very least, through the "magic" of television
