I went to bed around midnight and have been waking up every hour or so, thinking it must be 5:30 when my alarm will go off. Finally I just gave into it and got up, rewrote my remembrance for Sifu, and dealt with this shitload of condolence correspondances. I got about an hour before I have to get up anyway, and my next two war rooms are the Asian ones, my strongest suite, so they should be easier. Then later, after lunch, we move into the tests. I don't have any tests scheduled so hopefully I can just bear witness, stroke my beard, and maybe get off some witty comment.
Danny hasn't been as accessible because he's the only one of us who has his own trailer, and he makes good use of it. But we chatted about Survivor's Guide to Prison while we were in make-up together (that's right, I was in make-up alongside of Danny Trejo) - he's very passionate about that project and was eager to talk about it. And after yesterday's filming, he gave me a big ol' hug.
Marko has been cool, as always, and there's a running joke about how his shirts couldn't be any tighter, but everyone concedes that if they had a body like his, they probably wouldn't even bother with wearing a shirt. I complimented him on his fight with Adkins while Robert Rodriguez was listening in, and did my best to give him props for it. Robert was only there yesterday and we didn't really talk. I talked to Rebel though. He's a good kid and the BK&S guys say he's been developing some serious smithing skills. He may be on Forged in Fire soon.
The BK&S guys went off on Crystal a dinner, but we've been getting along. I get her better now. Falling back in with the BK&S guys has been great. Luv them. Same with DaMon. And there's several more guests in the mix that are fascinating martial sources.
I'm told M@A has been translated now for Germany and India, and perhaps Croatia but that one might be a pirated one. Dying to see the India one - what must I sound like in Hindi? And German too? I bet I sound good in German.
With Sifu's passing, M@A is the ultimate distraction. It's like my Colorado trip when Tom died was some sort of weird prep. Life is strange and death is final. The show must go on. There are so many people depending on it. It's how they make their living. And everyone is working so hard. Sometimes I catch myself wondering what my expression looks like as I 'act' engaged for a retake, if my sorrow shows. I've only shared Sifu's passing with the more intimate crew.
