Missing things

Well, it’s certainly easy to get up in the morning. What’s with getting light so early? I’m having a bowl of cereal and have some things to add to my list of things that I miss about Iceland. I miss ab-mjolk, skyr, and müsli.

Can I go to sleep yet?

I’m trying to stay up until nine tonight, but I feel like I’m fighting a losing battle. I’ve been very industrious today. I got up with Aaron and MaryClaire to see them off, and then spent the rest of today doing housecleaning. I did dishes and then began sorting things in the guest room. I

Differences

These are some of the things that have struck me–you should know that I am experiencing culture shock about being in the U.S. America really does have an obesity problem. From the moment we landed in Baltimore, I saw very few people who were not overweight. There are so many trees. Look at all the

Once again, I have no pictures

The party was a grand success, but I didn’t even think about bringing the camera out. Eve contributed a lovely salmon, part of which I’m going to make into an omlette this morning. Sue brought hummus, olives, smoked oysters and… there was something else yummy on that plate, but I can’t remember what it was.

Details.

After Rob picked me up last night, we came home relaxed for a bit and then went to see Hero at the Laurelhurst. I’ve been wanting to see it for months, but the subtitles would have been in Icelandic had I gone while I was in Reykjavik. Not so helpful. The film is extremely good,

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

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.
