This blog is dumb now. It doesnt make any sense. I mean, I'm not even in Australia now cause I am in New Fucking Zealand home of the RINGS.>>>>>> its been so great to be here. I left all my insecurities at the airport. Today I was having some breakfast snogs (sausages made with eggnog and cabbage) and I got chatting to this local chap (what they call a dude here) about LOTR and it turns out he did makeup for the film. Although he wasnt lucky enough to do Orlando's or McKellens he did touch Billy Boyds face and hair as well as my favorite Lost member. It was great to meet Glen, he showed me all his makeup and showed me how he works and makeup tricks. It was really cool. The best part though was he had one of the hobbit's prostetic feet. I could not believe it. I even tried it on. He had the afternoon off (he is working on a movie that he is not allowed to talk to anybody about-even me) so we hopped in his Ute (its like a dinkey car pickup truck-I was worried Glen was gay because he likes makeup and touching guys faces but the Ute was proof he is not). So we drove out to this community near Punaikaki to see a modern day hobbit shire. It was nuts. People dug their houses in the ground and lived there and had great gardens. It was really special. Glen had a friend who actually lived in one of these house so we visited him and smoked a spliffey, they call them that here too. I'm not sure if it was the spliffey or not but I really felt like I was in LOTR. I was a fucking hobbit man. It was so great. Oh man Glen and I had a great time, I think he enjoyed seeing me so happy with what he took for granted. I had to thank him for all he did for me so I took him out to a nice dinner at a nice pasta restaurant and said he could order anything he wanted. I wont ever forget today.
