haircut day

Tokyo, 2010.03.14

Today my sexy young wife got herself a fetching hairdo. Which meant that I had Kenny to myself for a few hours.

We spent about half that time on the line with Oma and Opa in Victoria, chatting via Skype. We don't get to talk too frequently, so I always try to bring them up to date all at once. And these days I seem to have a lot to say. So whenever they started looking overwhelmed I'd turn the camera back on the grandson and let his antics warm them up. I should bring Kenny with me to social engagements to give people a break from too much .. me.

After the chat Kenny and I went to Shibuya to pick up a piece of wood at a DIY shop. The wood is for a special wood-carving project I've dreamed up. I spent a couple of hours getting into the thing after we got home, it felt good to work with the knives.

I'd see the publicity guy come on the set and I'd go hide in the rafters. The crew would be like, ‘I haven't seen him.' And then they'd leave and I'd go back to work. Because that's what's fun: the doing, not the talking.
