This is the problem with not working from home. Working from home. I've logged an hour so far. It's just..shit needed to get done before tomorrow,
If you got to do stunts for one movie/TV show, but magic stunts where you're not going to get the shit banged out of you, but you still do the fake fights and the wire work and shoot big fancy guns with no bullets or slice mannequins in half--who would you pick?
I think I'm a bit biased right now, becuase I think I'd pick Electra. A lot of physical stuff to do--not too much CGI which will only look right after the editing rom. She has my favourite weapon, the sai, and she's dressed in leather.
I'll have to think about the rest. It's gonna be a long list.
I've never thought about it in those terms. I have wondered who I could theoretically be a stunt double for. If I lost 15-20 lbs I think I could do stunts for Anna Torv.
I do sometimes wish I had thought about that as a career path when I was 20 yrs old. I would've been just fit and foolish enough to give it a shot.
Congrats, Jon and FAQWife!
Watching Property Virgins (I really have a problem), and this woman is a single mother about to finish her YEAR of maternity leave?? Seriously, Canada?!?!
Cat carrier lined with puppypads, check. Mister Kitty's to-go bag ready sans insulin, check. Alarm (like I need it) set for 6, check.
MK's got a blood curve appt tomorrow. I think it is going to tell me he's regulated again, and thankfully has gained back some lost weight. He's definitely looking better.
Now tell me why, in this heat, Loki is sleeping in the likeliest hottest place (on top of the micro in the hotbox, I mean kitchen,) Dev is in the foam cube, and MK down on the futon, when the coolest part of the house is the bed upstairs. And they're all hot-cat pancaked.
Lot of compliments on my outfit today. Guess they aren't used to seeing me in skirts/dresses. But this hot, I'm choosing ventilation. Even at work. They are powercycling and shutting down ac at the behest of the power companies...
Seriously, Canada?!?!
What?
It's a little more complicated than that, and I don't understand all the details. The feds only pay 55% of income if eligible. (Mat leave benefits are actually receiving Employment Insurance benefits.) Usually, a full time employee's mat leave is topped up by her employer for a portion of the year. I think my employer tops up to 100% for 35 weeks, but the other 17 are at 55%, so some people can't afford to take the full year. I do know one person who works for a very progressive employer where mat leave is topped up for the whole year.
We get 12 weeks, through my job, and count it lucky! That woman had been living with her parents, so 55% of salary would probably be fine.
You guys, my bank upgraded me to a platinum card. I feel all fancy and grown up.
Seriously, Canada?!?!
Believe you me, there are times when (Canadian-born) FAQWife bemoans our not living there. Especially, for obvious reasons, recently.
