dual personalities

Quiet on set, please!

On Monday Tim and I made our acting debuts as “background artists” (formerly known as extras) in a feature film. We spent an hour or so walking repeatedly down a hall while they filmed various takes of a one-minute scene. We were people on their way to a cello recital and then we got to be the audience. Alas, you’ll have to wait to see our two seconds of fame because I don’t have a picture. But here’s one that shows the director and crew getting ready for a shot. Note Chris, the stalwart PA, in the bottom right:

Our participation only took a couple of hours, but Chris was hard at work until 1:30 am. C’est la vie.

Monday not only marked the end of my acting career, but it was my 24th wedding anniversary.

I probably used this last year

For the first time since we had children we celebrated alone (usually we don’t celebrate at all): nice bottle of wine, cheese and crackers, veg and dip — very much a normal evening.
Of course, Monday was also the new royal baby’s birthday.

I can’t say I was in the least caught up in “royal baby fever” and I don’t care what they name him, but I’m a sucker for a cute infant. I love his little hands and squished up face, don’t you?
