1at day of filming with Blasted Felix, as he will hereinafter be known

So, today, we catered for Blasted Felix’s [ so called becasue of his comandeerig my weekend, when I have assignments, and the only weekend in past or foreseeable future without a major assignment due on the following Monday] film shoot for the first day, and apparently we were ok. Rather amusing incident a few days ago, his film, and here I shall spoil his plot twist, relies on the concept of several different actors all playing the same man at different points in his life. Problem was that the guy playing him at 20 completely failed to let Blasted Felix know that he was black. Can’t help but feel that given that the script, which he’d read, described him as Caucasian, he should perhaps have mentioned this at some point prior to the day before the shoot.

More importantly, we discovered, or rather, I discovered, the coolest door in the world. It looks exactly like a time machine entry, and is round. So you step into this circular chamber which is just big enough for one standing person, and then you twist the front around in front of you, so you’re completely enclosed in this dark cylinder, and then it opens behind you, and there’s a dark room, which is pretty small, but when you turn the lights off, it’s utterly, completely, unimaginably dark. Sooo cool. I have a skylight in my bedroom, so it’s never really dark, but in that room, you couldn’t tell whether your eyes were open or closed.

Maybe you guys think that sounds freaky, but I rather thought it was beyond cool. In my castle, I shall have one, only instead of writing “dark room” above the door, I shall put a sign labelled “dematerialisation chamber” or similar. So when I step in, close the circle, step out, and then open it again, people will think that I’ve teleported far away, or possibly gone back in time or similar.

Oh NO. Have lost one of my highly treasured, favourite, silver Celtic knot earrings. Am devastated, distressed and distraught. Also sad and grumpy.

Earlier today our film careers were tragically cut short in their very dawning. Cat and I were supposed to be extras in Blasted Felix’s movie, and walk across the background. However, when we walked onto the set, apparently we (and this is a direct quote) so “lit up the screen” distracting from the main characters, that we were cut. We are just that luminous. Of course back then I had my earrings, and so it’s hardly surprising. Or possibly the fact that they were having difficulty with light reflectivity and were were dressed palely.

Will be extras tomorrow, though, I understand. They will then be prepared for our staggering beauty.

Speaking of our staggering beauty, am toying with the idea of dying my hair black for a week, and wearing heavy makeup. Plan to make everyone call me Raven, and possibly speak in a monotone about death/join the Socialist Alternative.

Oh, a Mysterious Person has posted on my blog! Who is this “john”? The only John who I can think of has Bruce as his handle. Perhaps am net celebrity already? Will be beloved by the masses of people unable to spell the word truly across the globe! Yes!
