Four days of feasting, four seconds of fame, and... kittenspam!

[oloriel]

1. So all the family festivities are finally done, although for the most part they were not as bad as expected. No utterly horrible surpraiz presents this year, which is not to say that there were no surpraiz presents but that they were nice surprises.
Have avoided scales so far. Definitely overate. At some point humanity will finally realise that massive feasts are outdated when everyone involved can eat their fill every day anyway, but it is not this day, obviously. Oof.

2. The first cinematic trailer for Henri 4 has appeared and Enlo and I are visible right in the beginning. Well, if you know it's us. I did not at first want to believe it's us, but my hair is, alas, kind of unmistakeable and I must assume that the person under the hair is likely to be me.
Have not yet decided whether to be thrilled or scared that someone I know (of the ungeeky people, I mean) might see this. Hopefully everyone will pay more attention to the running guy, who by the way was yelling something else entirely while we were shooting this.
The chicken still make me laugh.

3. I promised catspam the day before yesterday, so here (as a belated gift to juno_magic if no-one else) be catspam!

Christmas CD cover art, the original. You still don't want to know where the feather comes from.	Something's hiding under the snow, I'm sure of it	Sometimes I wonder whether it was wise to name the cat Fëanáro	I really don't see what's supposed to be so impressive about playing on the piano...
Want to wrap presents? Well you can't.	Sometimes your own fur just isn't enough.	Does this fence make me look fat?	Leave me alone with your noise and light
Yes, that's mistletoe. So what? You want a kiss?	Oof, tired.	In ur boxez, watching ur nativitiez	Bones are optional.

Back when I was an extra in a movie, we had to do this disco-dancing scene without music for hours, hours, hours XD

I think it's awesome you are in that movie, and visible :)
Seriously, judging from the rest of the trailer, you might be the most talented actor ;)

OMG trailer!!? You? Movie? It's all in German (duh) so I understand 0% of it. What's it about? Kitties! <3

I think I know your hair.

Yeah, I, movie (http://oloriel.livejournal.com/369575.html). It's about Henri IV of France and, subsequently, the Huguenot Wars and St. Bartholomew's Night and all that fun stuff, based on a novel by Heinrich Mann (a famous dead German writer), because dramatisations of the books of the Mann brothers were all the rage a year ago. ;)

It's the hair that got me several "Wow, nice wig" - "Um, that's my real hair" sort of comments. And several requests by the make-up artists on set whether I'd be willing to sell my hair so they can make a wig from it. *twitch*

*snrks* We had to do the "starving people creeping through the streets" scene over and over again. And it was soooo cold and I needed to PEE and it was so frustrating.

The scene above only took five or so takes, but it felt like hours. And Enlo and I had to catch the flighty chicken after every take, and then there was the problem of the market stall and the charging horse between which I somehow had to maneuver into a house. Augh!

I'm a horrible actress though, and the only reason it's not immediately obvious is that I don't get to say anything ;)
