From the Journals of Sean Astin:

Thursday the Twenty-sixth
Number of times I’ve completely forgotten a line this entire month: 12

Early Mid-Morning – Noticed that my journal habits are getting a bit sloppy. But it’s hard to keep time notations when I can’t wear a watch on set and Elijah broke the clock in our trailer in the ‘juggling’ incident. Now whenever I ask the P.A. what time it is she has started telling me “time enough for love.” Must be a Robert Heinlein fan.

Brought in a new toothbrush for the trailer as well. I am still certain that mine was damp yesterday morning when I hadn’t used it. Maybe I’ll get new ones for all the other actors as well – you can’t be too careful. Viggo looks like he may really need a toothbrush anyhow.

Do they sell organic toothpaste here in New Zealand? The tubes I brought from home are running low.

Pre-lunch – Just ran into Sean Bean. He’s not in costume, but was on set for some sort of meeting. Must talk to him about his smoking. Bad role model for the younger actors.

Bean told me that he only smokes because Ian McKellen does. Will have to nip this in the bud!

Loud argument heard taking place inside the C***bago. I was going to investigate but Dominic told me that I was needed urgently by Peter. Turned out to be a false alarm, and the argument was over by the time I returned.

Post-lunch – Ian informed me rather primly that he primarily smokes marijuana. GREAT role model. Sigh. And now Orlando is clearly avoiding both Viggo and Bean. This bodes ill for the Fellowship. Will have to investigate.

Note to self: Mint Organic Toothpaste, and dental floss. 1 case each.

*loves ian*

i'm sure there's plenty of speculation about here about the vigorlibean stand-off. oh no, not from me *rolls eyes*

Hello Helena! Thank you for commenting on my Sean's little scribbles. Yeah, if he's trying to protect the younger actors he in for a battle...that ship has already sailed. I'm really glad you're enjoying the series -- it's done with love.

*giggles* Sean A. voice is so clear to me when you write him, which I can't decide is a good thing or not *snorts*

Love this, Ian's perfect! cheers, rb

Hello my Cannuck sister! When I was in New Zealand I dropped in to most of the bars the boys frequented, like the Matterhorn, and every one of them told me that Ian would sit there and roll joints and snog his boyfriend in public. And now he's scandalizing Shakespeare fans by coming onstage nude.

I LOVE Ian McKellen.

[rocketbalm.livejournal.com]

Sounds like the perfect role model for our boys to me *grins* I love Ian. I thought it was hilarious that there was such an uproar about him being naked on stage -- I figure if you have it at that age, flaunt it... Go Ian!

cheers, rb

PS my new Canada icon just for you *grins*

Oh I like this...are there more of these?

Hello sister! Thank you for taking time to comment! Click on my name to go to my personal journal, then click the TAG that says 'Astin's Diary' on the current entry and it'll line them all up for you. Go to the bottom of the list to start. Cheers!

[piratesorka.livejournal.com]

I went to your personal journal but never saw the tag that had Sean Astins diary in it. I did look at the Chimeriwhateverthename was spot.

More help please.

*lol*

Ian, Ian, naughty Ian!

He's color blind, you know. The only time he can see reds and greens is when he is stoned. (Clip of him saying that running about somewhere...)

*loves this*

[pecos.livejournal.com]

Thank you for commenting! Look above to what I wrote to Rocketbalm about Sir Ian. He's a dark horse, that one! How can anyone not just adore the man? Cheers!

I read it and hooted! I get to see that naked Ian in King Lear in July.

Honest to Pete, though, about this nudity stuff. Everyone is rushing off to oogle Harry Potter's magic wand in Equus so what's the problem with Ian at 67 (soon 68 this month) stripping down when the script in Lear calls for it!

Stupid ageism.

More Ianp0rn, people! He's like an extra prize in the Cracker Jack box! *gets out poke stick*

My apologies. I've never had a banner before.

[suede-scripture.livejournal.com]

No problem. I know a lot of people post to several comms that have different rule sets. I do love this story, however. :)

He's such a busy body, but I'm glad he's looking after everybody's dental health! *grins*

[pecos.livejournal.com]

Sean would be appalled at being called a busy body. He would probably prefer the term 'Safety Hobbit'. Thank you for reading, and commenting!

Why do I feel that all the actors corrupted each other in equal measure during filming. I'm surprised any left with any modicum of good manners intact! :-) Another great journal entry. Very curious what Astin will find out about this argument.
