This afternoon, I drove down to the Scholes twins’ 1st birthday party. In case you haven’t seen them, those are some cute, cute little girls. It was a great deal of fun and a nice break. I got to catch up with Harold Gross and Brenda Cooper, which was lovely.
I had to leave the party a little early because I got word that the FX for the Shades of Milk and Honey book trailer were on their way. Currently I’m sitting in Hot Pepper studio, in Portland, watching Rob work on the final edits. It’s all finished except for laying in the special effects shots of the glamour. Those are coming from Hawaii and Remo, our FX supervisor, is uploading them as they finish rendering.
Each one is large enough that it takes about an hour and a half to upload and then download. Crazy, eh?
I’m getting a lot of writing done and occasionally watching the small muscles in Rob’s forearms while he works. My husband does a lot of manual labor when he’s working on wine so… well. The definition is lovely. I figure, since I can’t do much helpful, I might as well find the small pleasures of being here.
In a similar vein, I love watching my wife’s lips move when she sounds out big words.
She’s a smart one, your wife.
Rob does a great deal of physical labor for several endeavors.
There is that, yes.
