At this very moment I am watching the movie Platoon and falling in love with a much younger Willam Dafoe. I remember the first time I watched this, with Salma Hayek, and I just realized what a good war movie really was. Just watching him take control of the scenes and make it so believeable taught me how much acting really does mean to me as a person. The ability to just put yourself into your characters shoes and step out of a dimension of reality and into another one completely. The cameras disappear and the moment becomes so real to you. I wish I could meet Mr. Dafoe. He should get a journal.

It feels like I have been stuck here in France for years instead of months. It feels better to have Tom here, but I wish I were back in California. I should be there for Gina as it is, but I can not leave. They would shoot me in the head if I asked for any more time off of this project. Then again, ever since Vanilla Sky, I have been able to be a bit more in control of what I do. I just wish I could take a week to run off to the states and help Gina through her problems. Friendship means a lot more to me than this movie does. And this movie means a lot, so imagine how much Gina means to me.

The days are passing slowly, and I wish to be home. I can not think past that. I can not make a good update for all of you, because I have a one track mind right now. Get home for Gina.
