This is my friend Emily. She’s an amazing puppeteer and a good friend. Today is her birthday, hopefully we’ll go out to celebrate tonight

Well, today was ridiculous. I spent all day being Bessie’s hands, which is always fun, but for one shot I got to do something totally silly. There was a tight shot of Bessie’s hands manipulating a prop on a table. The way the shot was framed, you could see her torso behind the table, but not her head and the shot was on the floor, because they needed to see the ground behind her. It was going to be challenging to use the live arms, to say the least, but it absolutely had to be live hands. So. So, I put on Bessie’s shirt, and a pair of Bessie-falsies, and just was Bessie for that one shot. I have never had such an enormous bosom.

What can I say? We slept in. I made muffins. We took a walk, came home and napped in the sun. This evening we watched Sid Caesar and ate dinner. Rob is already in bed and I’m heading there myself.
