I am a sad, sad camper. He’ll be back in Portland at two a.m., which means ten o’clock tomorrow morning for Reykjavik time. I might be sad, but he’ll be exhausted and sad.

We did get to go out for lunch today, and spent about three hours outside the building, which was great. We went to the Seafood Cellar. The food is very good, and beautifully presented, but if you click on the menu link on the website, you will see one of the ugliest food photos I’ve ever seen.

We were here till 11:00 last night. Did you know that in Iceland the vegetarian pizza at Dominoes has corn on it? More wacky hijinks to come, I’m sure.

Rob and I are going to try to get out of here so we can spend some time together before his flight today. Sadness.

Rob came in to work with me today and is spending most of the day in the Hudson room while I work on the music video for this episode. It’s a song for Stingy called “I am the Prince” and it’s a rip on a Britney Spears song. Very funny. So that means that I did a little bit of work with a rodded hand, and some with feet, but mostly I’ve been watching Jodi be funny.

Oh hush. I don’t have to tell you everything.

Rob and I slept in, then went into town to have lunch at Vegamot. Afterwards we did a little window shopping, came home and headed for the Blue Lagoon. We did not have massages there, but we did purchase massage oil.

Þor took these pictures of last night. Here we all are, as the bounty of food has been laid upon the table.

And as a sample of how quickly my friends in Iceland have come to understand Rob, here is a perfect photo of him

Thanksgiving was as traditional as one can expect in Iceland. The table was loaded with ridiculous amounts of food. The classic dishes were there, along with a twenty-four pound turkey.

They let us out of work early yesterday to prepare, and brought us in late today. I haven’t worked yet, because the actors are still jousting, but I have written a lot on my novel.

Rob is at home today, probably reading or visiting the library.

Rob and I are going to Jodi, Sam and Julie’s for dinner tonight. All the Americans and some other guests are gathering tonight for Thanksgiving dinner. Rob and I are bringing a spinach, artichoke casserole (thanks for the recipe, Mom), an apple crisp, and eggnog.

I was delighted to find that I did not have to go to work until noon today. I went down to my car at 11:30, so I could pick up Sarah and the window was broken.

It looked like a truck had clipped it. So I called the police, and as they were looking at it a man came running over and said, “It was me.” Actually, he said something else longer, but it was in Icelandic and this is the gist of it. He’d been doing gardening across the street and hit my car as he backed up. He had already called the insurance company and they had contacted my rental company. So we just have to take the car in and they’ll give me a new car.

Sorry that my entries have been so short. Between busy days on the set and NaNoWriMo and Rob visiting, I haven’t had the time to do long weblog entries.

The snow is thawing and we are back to our usual overcast windy days. I have to be on set a lot but it’s been mostly fetching carts. I worked yesterday as Stingy’s feet, and hands when he was sitting in a chair. I did a little bit of time doing rod work today, but otherwise…fetching carts. Ah, the fleeting glamour of showbiz.

In other news, my wordcount on my NaNoWriMo is a 40,729. I should be able to hit 50,000 by Tuesday.

The director took this photo of me yesterday. Looks comfie, huh?

And now we’re wrapped. Tell you about it later!

Rob and I went out to Þingvellir and it held true to my experience that every day in Iceland the landscape changes. Of course in this case, the change was more extreme.

We did something I’ve not done here, which is hike around up to the top of the waterfall. We kept feeling like we had to hurry because the sun was so low in the sky, and then would remind ourselves that we had another four hours till actual sunset. This photo was taken around 12:30 in the afternoon. Note the looooong shadows.

It’s my niece’s birthday! She’s two years old today.
