It's just not fair.
After three months of slog on Mystic Force, I manage to come down with bronchitus as soon as we wrap. Headed off to the wrap party Thursday night, fortified with 4 No-Doze, 3 Neurofen, 2 Sudafed, and half of a little yellow pill which will remain unspecified but was probably the most effective of the lot, and was in a near-coma of illness by 8am the following day.
Now I have a 10-day course of antibiotics, and get to spend the first week of my well-earned holiday coughing up green stuff with blood in it.
Joy.
On the work horizon, I might be doing some Art Dept stand-by on Outrageous Fortune over the next few months. I'm crossing my fingers for this, since it will be a chance to diversify into a department I've always wanted to work in, and because the Art Director is far and away one of my most favourite people on set. This is the sweetheart who once wished whole-heartedly that he had a younger brother he could set me up with, because then I could be like his sister. Awww!
Also have agreed to co-ordinate the make-up and suchlike for a music video shoot - will quite possibly be doing a general call for peple who feel like being zombies for a night or two. It'll be fun, and then you'll get beat up by ninjas! This is more of a for-the-love-of-it job, since there's never any $$$ in music videos. Keeps me from going loco though, which is the main thing.
So, yes, this is a 'still alive - barely' post, and also my apologies for the massive amount of social events I've managed to pike on in the past few weeks. I know I'm an often unreliable attendee, but recently I've been setting new records in not-turning-up-ness. In my defense, I was very busy, and am now very sick.
But I miss you guys. Well, most of you, anyway. Maybe not you. No, not you; YOU.
