So I have arrived in Toronto. When I got off the plane I got a very gracious message from my Two Favourite Men that they were otherwise engaged, but they had arranged for a car to pick me up at the airport to take me to the hotel.Yeah, I'm pretty sure they were too busy shagging like bunnies to actually meet me *>:O*And indeed there was a very shiny looking stretched-fucking-LIMO (OMG!!!WTF?!?!?!youguysarenuts!!!!!11!!) waiting with champagne and all, and I felt like a movie star .. wait, I AM a movie star. It's just I don't do that stuff all that often.So anyway. Here I am. I'm still waiting to hook up with the guys, I think I'll hang out at the bar while I wait. I have dressed up and look very Audrey Hepburn right now. Maybe I'll even treat myself to a cigarette to get the perfect look ...*trotts down to the bar to get a Cosmopolitan ... or a beer* |

Sean, it looks like we're going to have company. Better clean the place up a bit.Would you mind wearing that little number you did the other night when vacuum? It gives me the most perfect view of your ass.*slow smile* |

Least that's what they say. Sean and I are in Toronto while I film, "A History of Violence." The filming may take us to Vancouver and Montreal as well, but we're used to living out of our suitcases at this point in our careers, and we go where the work takes us.We're doing well, planning for our future and making arrangements to settle into the house in Venice. The ranch purchased for the three of us has been sold, and we're going to be fixing up my old place. Contractors have already been hired and blueprints are in the works to add on a few bedrooms for Sean's girls when they come to visit. As Henry already had a room, I've decided to just add onto it to give him a little extra space for his guitars and a few other things he collects.How are the rest of you doing? |

Apart from December 18th 2003, I have never been so frantic, worried and scared as I was yesterday. Why, you might ask. Well. Belle went missing for the majority of the day. She disappeared right after breakfast and I probably spent half the day looking for her. I looked everywhere. I even made Mom look and Sebastian, who was no help at all, he just wanted to snuggle and play. By the afternoon I was even asking the neighbors if they had seen her, showing them a photo of her. But of course no one had. Defeated I'd given up and had gone to my room to call Orlando and break the news to him. I was dialing his number when I heard this soft, squeaky snoring noise coming from under the bed. I got down on my knees and who was sleeping underneath my bed on some dirty laundry I'd kicked under there when Mom had made me clean my room? BELLE that's who.I don't think she quite understood why I was waking her up and cuddling her so tightly, but she didn't seem to mind and just let me, while she yawned and blinked sleepily at me. I'm going to have to teach her not to give her daddy heart attacks. Honestly. This is why I am so not ready to have children, I've decided.I've also decided Orlando needs to finish and come home now. I don't care about contracts. I want him here with me and that's final. Or at least it's final in my head. |

This is something I've been putting off as long as I could, but it's come to a point now that I need to say something. Last week I found a note from Miranda - she's broken off her engagement with Sean and I and has left. She didn't say where she was going, simply that we shouldn't try to find her.I won't get into the details of the note she left as they are personal and for Sean and I only to know. Suffice it to say that upon her leaving she did not want to continue our relationship, either with Sean, nor myself. Against her wishes, however, Sean and I have flown to Sydney in hopes to find her. We're going to see her father today - when I called last week he said that he had not seen her. It's not that I don't believe him, but if I were her father I would probably cover for my daughter as well.I don't know how long we'll be here, but if you need to reach us, we do have our cell phones on and with us. Also, if anyone does hear from Miranda ... please let her know ... just tell her ... tell her ... hell, I don't even know what to say that she'd want to hear. We miss her, we want her back ... we love her. |

One contract, signed and sealed and clauses added to specification. Two hotel rooms in Mr Blooms name, fr the duration of filming. One, a suite near the centre of town, convinient for filming. The other in an exclusive country retreat an hour out of town, usually the preserve of the wealthy businessmen who come down here for the golf. Well I've got to have somewhere to escape to on my days off, don't I? Somewhere people can't find me. And if it happens to be a good place for Elijah to come and visit me at, well, thats a handy bonus, thats what I say.I'm hoping that it won't be too bad, then. I'm hoping to see him at least once a week, even if the cabin crew on short haul from Kentucky to LA start to look like old friends. I'm hoping that the ache I get from missing him won't have time to settle in. I'm guessing that it will, but any effort to lessen it just a little bit, well, that's something, right?I can see it starting to weigh down on him, all this time apart. Every hour that it gets closer to my leaving tomorrow, someone seems to pour a little more lead into his shoes. I know he won't sink without me, he's got his family here, but I hate seeing that weary -here we go again- look in his eyes. I only want to see him smile.But the contract is signed and sealed, although so far the one after it -isn't-. And maybe it won't be, maybe I'll actually manage to take a proper break, one where its not because I'm flat on my back in a hospital bed. I never want to spend Christmas like that again. But Elijah's Mother mentioned having my family out to stay this year, and I think Elijah is dreading it for some reason, but I think it would be nice. Especially if just mum and Sam come, and maybe if Sean and Viggo aren't an ocean away. It could be good. I think this year, whats leaft of it, I think it's going to be good. Just got to get through a few more weeks.... |

So I'm in Prague but Elijah is being worked off his feet right now and I'm hardly seeing him anyway. I'm being very good though and not sulking or feeling left out, although I do worry that I'm more of a distraction than I should be. So much is being expected of him, I don't want to be the thing getting in the way.I hope I'm not, anyway, I'm trying to fade into the background and be a good housewife. I know the room service number by heart so I can always have dinner on the table a whatever hour he gets home, and I think I excell as a cuddle dispenser. Anyway, I'll just be glad when its all done and we can both relax for a few precious days.And maybe I'll manage to take a break after Elizabethtown. Possibly. Perhaps.Well, a boy can dream. |

_When I go away I'll miss youand I will be thinking of youevery night and day just ...Promise me you'll wait for me'cause I'll be saving all my love for youand I will be home soonPromise me you'll wait for meI need to know you feel the same way tooand I'll be home, I'll be home soon...._They were playing that as the last dance at the club we went to last night, and I almost got a tear in my eye. It's been in my head all day now, so missing me might make you horny, Lij, but missing you just makes me sappy it seems.Besides that, filming is going very well. I still maintain that I've never done a muddier shoot, at least on rings I was always the pristine one. Here it seems every sequence calls for me to be caked in just a bit more filth. Sweaty and dirty with a big weapon. Is this helping, Lijah?And the clothes are heavy and itchy, too. Okay, I'm done whining now. And at least the kittens love it, they spend ages smelling me each night to discern what farm animal I've most recently been cavorting with. ...Alright, that sounded very wrong. Still, my new ambition is to do a film without period clothes or mud. That would be a change.But it keeps me busy, and the guys here are good fun, so I'm doing ok, not counting every single minute, just every other one, and learning what I can from this experience. I'm even learning to cook some of the food here, my assistant, Rico, is a great teacher and a great cook, so I'll be a domestic goddess in no time. Maybe the next chance we all have to get together, I'll do the catering. What do you think? |

*waves*Lo, everyone :) I do believe it's been forever since I've updated this thing. Have I ever even updated it? *laughs* I'm really bad at this, but I figured it's high time I get off my arse and contact my mates. Dom is still here with me in Glasgow, and basically we're either cooking elaborate meals (actually, I cook, Dom cleans *wink*), getting drunk or renovating the house, or all three, in that order (you should see what two bottles of single malt whiskey will do to your master bathroom). We've basically been lazy bums who realized just the other day that we should probably, y'know....work for a living. Though I might change careers and become a rock star. Do people dig rock stars in short skirts? Hell, if it worked for Courtney Love....Anyway, Dom and I are a little tired of being hermits. Okay, well, not really, but we've spent enough time renovating the house in Glasgow and have decided to get out for a bit. We're both going to start work soon (surprise, surprise), and this will kind of be the last time we have a chance to do some globetrotting before the summer is over (unless, of course, we travel the Southern Hemisphere *chuckles*). Since all our mates are scattered about, I thought perhaps some of you might suffer having two hobbits for visitors. The plan is to leave the first of July, then travel to as many places and see as many of you as we can until the end of the month. We're going to leave Thursday and in the next couple days we're going to plan our trip, so let us know, yeah? We'd really like to see as many of you as we can. Aside from that, I hope everyone is doing well. Miss you all <333 |

Hi everyone.Wow, so like, I think I really upset Marton because I didn't like the toy pig he got me. I didn't think I was being rude, because, it wasn't like a gift, and he knows I'm not really that fond of pigs. But I didn't mean to upset him or anything. It was the beady eyes. You know, I think toy pigs are worse. Up close, the real pigs weren't quite so bad, it was just a bit freaky when they got out of their pen. And piglets are cute. And the one in Winnie The Pooh. Yeah, I think it was the toy's beady eyes, it looked kind of evil. I feel sorry for it now it's in pieces all over the lawn though. I'm going to get Marton a new pig that he can take back for Maisy. Maybe he's just grumpy because he's missing his family.I know I'm missing Lijah. It will be worse when Marton goes, even though he's angry with me right now. But I guess I'll find other people to bug. Lij, I've been reading the book of that movie you're doing next. I finished it last night while Marton was in the car and I couldn't sleep, and it really made me cry. I feel like a bad person sometimes, because I have Jewish heritage, but I don't like watching things about the war, or like D Day recently with all the old veterans visiting their fallen friend's graves. It just upsets me somewhere deep inside and I don't like to upset myself, although I guess I should watch those things, I should make myself, because it's important.I didn't even know that the war spread to the Ukraine, or that there were Jews there that died. I think I must be badly uneducated. Harry would have known. You know, he was Jewish and a big campaigner for Jewish rights, and black peoples rights, and all kinds of people's rights really. I'm proud of that although I probably don't have a real reason to be, he wasn't...but I have his name, you know? I'm proud of that name, anyway.And the book was really good. Quite hard to read, ill probably have to look at it again before I understand all of it, but really impacting. If the film is the same it will be something special. I'm sure it will be. It's the kind of story I'd like to tell. Something important. Maybe when I get done with my next few projects.And reading the book has made me feel a bit more involved with the things you're doing, even though I'm not with you. So there's another good thing.Didn't the Ukraine win the Eurovision Song Contest this year?And Prague is cool. I bet you'll like it there. Mum says Marks and Spencers stores and stuff are really cheap over there. Plus all the culture and stuff. I'll have to come and visit.I need to go now, I have to take another shower. I've never made such a dirty film before. That came out wrong...I mean there is a lot of mud, and most of it is on me. And the pigs.I hope everyone is well. Just checking in. |

I am officially done talking about sleep issues, pigs, lack of sex, missing my wife, twats, nosy nellys, and anything else for that matter. I plan to finish my last week of filming here and get back home to my wife where I belong. |

So, I promised an update, and in between snuffling and talking about strawberries (I think Marton is delusional....) I've managed to write one.There are a lot of strange things about being here. It's strange to have straight hair. I got it done at my usual place in Covent Garden just before I flew out, and even they said they barely recognised me after. It's longer than I thought, and it sort of changes my face shape. I think it makes me look older, but maybe that's because I've lost all the high and lowlights I had put in for Troy, and it looks much darker now.It's strange to be anywhere without Elijah. I guess it shows how much we are together that I find it so very odd living apart, and it has me worrying that I'm too clingy. But the unfamilliar surroundings without my familliar Mumbles to make the place seem more homey are going to take a while to get used to. It's strange sleeping with Marton, too. The bed dips down on his side and I keep rolling into him and waking up with a face full of armpit. I really am trying not to kick him too much, though.The kittens are in a cattery until I get settled in. It's a nice place and I can visit them all I want. I think they're making friends.It's also strange just being on a film set again. Troy seems an age ago and I was a different person then. And now....with me carrying a film for the first time, and having so much attention focused on me...I won't say it's easy to deal with. I don't have the coping strategies I'm used to. But they weren't really helping me cope in the long term. So I'll get by. It will be easier once I'm used to everyone and everything.I'm a little worried about tomorrow though. I have this scene with some animals and...well. I suppose it's a bad time to mention my fear on pigs. I'm sure they'll have pig wranglers or something though. I'll survive. ....I hope. |

Hey Snuffles, you were talking about strawberries in your sleep again last night. You want me to get some from the store on my way home? *wonders if your Mumbles got you pregnant, snickers* |
