Phoenix?
Oh yeah. Jodi and I have been routed through Phoenix. We got here at ten-thirty this morning and are supposed to leave at two eighteen. Our flight is delayed until 3:20. This is better than where we started this morning. We were scheduled to fly into LA, but not to Portland. Um…that’s not where we
Baltimore
Our flight out of Iceland was delayed and we missed our connection in the States. Jodi and I are staying in Baltimore overnight. I would tell you when we are arriving back in Portland, but the nice man at Iceland Air booked us to Los Angeles. We did not notice till we got to the
Last day in Iceland
I’ll leave my apartment at 1:30 today to start the trip home. At this point I only have to take the garbage out to be ready to do. I guess I’d better go do that now. I’m meeting Bernd and his wife for a quick bite before Sarah picks me up and we head for

Farewell at the Blue Lagoon
Lots of the cast and crew met at the Blue Lagoon today around 3:00, which was a lot of fun. We talked and hung out till we were all wrinkled prunes. I actually managed to schedule a massage; it was lovely. Afterwards we met at a restaurant and talked until midnight. Last night’s party went

That’s a wrap!
We just did the last puppet shot! Woo-hoo! There’s a wrap party tonight that should be a blast.
Two days and counting.
Today is the second to last day of shooting. The atmosphere is a little giddy, though that might have something to do with fatigue. We worked till eleven thirty last night. It’s like tech week in theater, except Friday is the day the show closes instead of opening night. It’s a little odd.

In a hole.
I’ve spent the morning in a hole in the ground. Actually, it was a hole in a stage behind a podium. I was the live hands for the Mayor again today, and in order for him to stand behind the podium they have to put us in a hole in the stage which is about
Compliment from Magnus!
I was doing a live hands scene for the Mayor which involved throwing a fried egg off a spatula. He said, “that was really funny” after one throw. (Yay!) But after the whole scene was over, I was standing close to the director’s table and he said, “You are the best woman–best person with hands

A clarification on Snow
I was on set today doing live hands for the mayor and shooting the breeze with Toti (one of our puppet wranglers) between shots. He asked if it snowed a lot in Portland. I said “no”. He said, “So it’s about like here, only once a month or so.” I looked at him in complete

A late call.
I didn’t get called in to work till 3:30 today. This gave me a little time to go Christmas shopping and I think I’m actually finished. This seems rather astounding to me. I also finally went into an antique shop that I’ve been carefully avoiding because it looked too good. I knew I would be
Christmas Brunch
We went to Dana and Mark’s Read for a Christmas Brunch to exchange Secret Santa gifts. You might recall that we exchanged Secret Santa names at Thanksgiving. I drew Þor’s name and gave him a copy of The Marionette Sourcebook by Luman Coad. It’s a really great resource and he seemed very pleased. Sarah drew
