Nesting

Brian and I sat in the cold dark world and nested. In the morning I had been earning my crust at Imperial, and then come afternoon I got home, cooked pie and languished.

I had lines to learn so was slightly distracted. In the background, John Wick was playing. Number three to be precise. Keanu is eminently likeable even in this ultraviolent part. You can imagine the writers meetings: “What hasn’t he killed someone with?” We thought we would watch three to try and remember what had actually been happening, as the films all attach to each other. It’s a comic book escalation from someone killing his dog and it makes me chuckle.

Looking forward to tomorrow and seeing a friend for this self tape. It’s one of those ones when you read it and think “ooh I’d do well in that part,” so with luck there’ll be some traction. Things have been landing recently, despite the cold.

But nesting and learning lines and watching silly movies… It’s been fun. We had pizza. I haven’t got the lines yet but I will in time, and sometimes hibernation is the answer. We paid someone to bring us pizza. Now I’m in bed with the blanket on feeling sniffly. Weekend all day tomorrow and no more silly weekend exams at crack of dawn. And the brighter season is just around the corner now. Bridget will be stirring in February… pushing up shoots. Happy warm times. I can’t wait. Just need to get this part first…
