Wayne came to work with us today. He got to see a couple of stunts, which are always fun and he got to see some puppetry, so that was a pretty good mix. The puppetry today was fun, but unfortunately the details are really plot specific so I’m not going to go into them this time. I know, I’m a tease.
The puppeteers got wrapped early, except for Þor and me. Everyone else left around four-thirty. I sent Wayne with Emily to the pool. I went into the puppet shop to practise my Icelandic with Sigga and Tóti. At the end of the day, when we were getting ready to leave, I decided to try to use my Icelandic to ask, “Do you want me to close the window?” What I actually said was, “Will you me fasten this?” We got a good laugh out of that. I’m glad Sigga can explain why it’s funny. If this were really immersion, then she’d be laughing and it would be months before I understood what I had said wrong.
