Astin's Diary - 19
TITLE: Safety Dance – Men Without Hobbit Feet
AUTHOR: Pecos – PecosPhil@sprintmail.com
RATING: PG for silliness and naughty language
FEEDBACK: remember the golden rule, (please!)
DISCLAIMER: I don’t make the toys, I’m
only playing with them. No money made,
nor disrespect intended
WHO’S IN IT?: People whom I’ve never met
and hold no actual grudge against
NOTE: I’m pretty sure Sean Astin is actually a
really nice guy. Ditto the other dudes
Saturday the Twenty-eighth
Number of times Christine has slept in late with a ‘headache’ after a party: 3
6:45am – After getting up before the sun for weeks it feels like sleeping in to stay in bed with the wonderful wife, who was snoring like a rhinoceros with a sinus condition. I suspect that she may have had a bit to drink at Mark’s party.
7:00 – get daughter up and fix her breakfast. We read a couple of books and draw some pictures for mommy. New Zealand television lacks proper educational component in cartoon content.
8:25 – Christine finally rises. She is grumpy. Crayon artworks of happy Hobbits and trees and horses finally bring a smile to her face.
8:40 – drive by studio to drop off various costume parts which I’ve unintentionally brought home and which need to be laundered. No actors on call today, as all teams are working on miniatures unit so they can meet a deadline.
8:43 – suggest to Ngila that she try a different fabric softener. She does not seem to appreciate the input of one of the performers. Fine…I tried.
8:50 – head around the coast on Marine Parade to Liv and Orlando’s house. I have business to attend to with our unhappy Elf of the Fellowship.
9:00 – Elf Princess was heading out for day trip to wine region. Orlando is massively hung-over and not openly happy to see me. I let him sleep a bit more while I clean up his half of the house and make (second!) breakfast.
9:50ish – Orlando finally awake, although not really presentable. He eats with very poor appetite, which worries me. I am determined to find out what has been happening in his personal life after we clean up dishes and retire to porch with a box of Tim Tams. This boy needs a good woman to take care of him; like my own darling Christine.
11:00 or so – Rescind earlier opinion. Orlando seems to think he is in need of a good MAN to take care of him. He has one in mind, and herein lies his current relationship problems. Plus – he clearly needs more bran in his diet, and likely some vitamins A & B complex. Also, Tim Tams are darn tasty. Need to have wife find some at store.
11:10 – my work here finished, I decide that I will speak to Viggo Mortensen on Sunday. On Monday I will be having a talk with Sean Bean. Orlando is too inexperienced in the ways of the actor community to bear this issue alone.
11:24 – Take the girls to Te Papa for educational visit and lunch.
