So Thursday night I leave for Nanaimo to shoot this indy horror film, and while I only have 4 days of actual shooting, I will be in Nanaimo (the Harbour City according to their webpage) for almost 2 weeks! I am being put up, sharing a room with various actors as they come in and out, being fed everyday by set catering and getting a $25 per diem (

Torn biceps...

[fearsclave]

One of Carolyn's sisters married this large Dutch guy that I refer to as the Extremely Large Dutch Brother In Law, or ELDBIL. The ELDBIL has a father who's relatively small by his family's standards (he's only 6'2" or so), but who survived Nazis and famines and could probably go ten rounds with Chuck Norris in a no-holds-barred cage match.

The father has a large, entirely organic garden; he and his wife deal with insects by hand, bug by bug. For larger pests, like chipmunks, he has an old double-barrelled 12-gauge he brought over from Holland. Emphasis on old; he recently had to have it repaired by this amateur gunsmith he knows.

Never take your gun to an amateur gunsmith. The father was out chipmunk hunting in the garden this summer, and took a snap shot with the butt of the gun braced against his bicep, instead of it being properly shouldered. The gun malfunctioned, firing both barrels at once.

The chipmunk was probably gibbed. His bicep was literally torn in two, and retreated up his arm to his shoulder, where it formed a large lump.

Being harder than diamond-tipped nails, he refused to go to a doctor for several days while his arm turned black.

He's OK now, but yeesh.

So torn bicep: ow, and glad to hear it's healing.
