Had my tv debut the other night on Mainland TV, the regional station, reading a couple of stories from an SPCA charity anthology. Anyone remember Max and Rastus the cat?
I also got out the movie Fracture and saw myself - in the background of a cafe scene and at at the Wellington railway station as an extra. It's a good film - since Kahukura Productions went bust while making it, a lot of people never got paid. They owe me something like $200, which I don't hold out much hope of ever seeing. Oh and Elisa's there in another scene, looking gorgeous and holding hands with some guy.
Being a film extra is one of the more pointless jobs around - you turn up at 5am, get into costume if necessary, then spend the next ten hours sitting around drinking coffee. It got depressing after a while, with the realisation that you're completely disposable and not being hired for any skills.
Odd dream the other night, something about causing environmental disaster with a giant lemon and going on the run from police with a tyre-less bike that was in progressively worse condition...
Next project here is to plant the vege garden, and feijoa and lemon trees. We're on the edge of summer so it's really a bit late. Will have to look after them. Did I mention I like working with plants?
Gig at Mapua Kindergarten was fun, except for the late start, lack of soundcheck, and talkative audience. Our Fruityloops + banjo arrangement of 'Auld Lang Syne' was great fun.
www.fiffdimension.co.nz has had a good response so far - including an unexpected email from my oldest friend John Metcalfe who I went to kindergarten with and haven't seen in years! He put in an order for Fran's album...
