Ah, the simple things…
Not much excitement today. I did a live hand for Ziggy, but wasn’t attached to the puppet. It was just a closeup of a handshake. I also assisted Julie for a scene with her, David and Magnus. The most exciting part of today was that Kahlua made chocolate chip cookies and brought them in. It’s

Happy mail day
I got a big batch of mail from the U.S. today. I got my copies of Apex Digest, which was a lot of fun. The folks in the green room are reading it and making various horrified faces. It’s fun. At the opposite end of the writing spectrum, I also got my official acceptance letter
Wired News: You Dirty, Healthy Rat
Wired News: You Dirty, Healthy Rat Gritty rats and mice living in sewers and farms seem to have healthier immune systems than their squeaky clean cousins that frolic in cushy antiseptic labs, two studies indicate. The lesson for humans: Clean living may make us sick. The studies give more weight to a 17-year-old theory that

YouTube – Robbie Rotten spot (Season 2) (correct spot posted now) Ooo! Someone posted the Nick Jr. Lazytown spots on youtube, and I’m actually in one. In the middle of this one Robbie’s periscope pops up and that’s me. I mean, it’s only a pair of eyes on a stick, but it’s still fun. They
Happy Father’s Day!
I’m lucky that my brother is visiting our parents in Chattanooga and has offered to celebrate in my stead. Rob’s dad is out of luck though. Sorry, Glenn! Once again, we are ungrateful wretches. I hope that the weather is beautiful where you are, and that you get to do everything you want to do

Groma Kolibra
I completely forgot to tell you about the real score at Koloportið. Rob and I collect portable typewriters and I’ve been keeping my eye out for one with an Icelandic keyboard. This little beauty is a Groma Kolibra. It’s an East German machine from the 1950s and is in beautiful shape. It comes with a
Svartfluglsegg
Today Rob and I went down to the koloport to pick up our usual staples of flatköka and eggs. Usually, we just get hen eggs, but this time I saw some beautiful blue and brown speckled eggs. Two weeks ago I had picked up some brown speckled eggs from the lesser black-backed gull. These beauties
Apex Digest #6 on sale
My story Cerbo en Vitra ujo is in this issue of Apex Digest. It just went on sale. I do feel I should warn some of you that it is horror and fairly icky. But, if you enjoy horror, then please pick up a copy.

It’s official
Rob and I will be here through August 14 and quite likely through November. I’ll let you know when we decide that for certain.
What day is it?
Today was busy. I did some live hand work which honestly feels like it happened yesterday. Partly I’m disoriented because we were shooting parts of three different episodes today. This doesn’t usually happen, but did today because of complicated factors involving setups and I don’t know what all. Whenever we do more than one episode

Ãslenska óperan – Litla Hryllings Búðin
Tonight I went to see Litla Hryllings Búðin at the Icelandic Opera. Yep. Little Shop of Horrors in Icelandic. Now, I’ve done Little Shop a few times in my life and at this point have the thing memorized. This made it fairly easy to follow. The set design was really good, it looked like a
