First there was the pirate special.
And then… the animal cosplay special.
But now, ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Alien Special. All 25 seconds of it.

Yup. My whole life was a build-up to those 25 seconds of fame. A six-month training regime. Three months of method acting. Private tuition with Andy Serkis.
You saw the still photo, but as it turned out… someone had captured some damn video footage of the pale, gangly, hideous creature that is… me.
You have to admit that the grunting guttural sounds are pretty awesome though. If you must know, it’s the scene from Men In Black…
Anyway… other than the awesome video, this Monday (if you are reading this on my blog) you get an overhauled side bar with some new favourite choices entries thrown in! Then the Index of Topics has been updated, which is where you want to go for ‘interesting’ or ‘deep and meaningful’ entries. I also updated the Travel Stories section with entries from the Faroe Islands.
And today’s ‘52 Weeks‘ is out later in the afternoon (UK time), whenever my partner in crime turns up… (if you haven’t subscribed yet, you should! With Autumn here, I can assure you there will be some beautiful photos.)

So.. those are hotpants you have on. I watched it twice to be sure and its either hotpants or a nappy. I don’t know what to do.. I don’t know what to SAY. I never thought it would come to this. But it has.
Incase anyone cares about 52 weeks I will be back around 5.

I’m blown away by the acting gravitas you have on stage, Mrs Eb. Olivier-esk, I might add.
in a nappy.
I’m new to all this, need to investigate what 52 weeks is, but I am supposed to be WORKING damn you!

Ahh… the underwear…
Well…
The less I tell you the better, I think. That’s a good, general rule of thumb when it comes to these kinds of things…
Thank you Rachel! My acting teachers at Mountview and RADA will be so glad.

Ah Ewok…
Come on, I’m much more like a Wookie!

And the Tony goes to…
Too funny!

Yeah, I don’t know about you looking like an ewok. Definitely more like a green wookie.

I am so sad that I have to wait until I get home to watch this

One day I will win a Tony! One day. Perhaps when I am overlord of the universe and they don’t dare vote against me…
It’ll be worth the wait, Jossie.

i have to say now, the growling is kind of… sexy

No. You look nothing like a wookie. You would scare the daylights out of me though. For sure.

A great, moving performance. My soul was stirred to its very core. And seriously? You have some insanely long arms. I mean like freakishly long.

The growling was the bit I put most rehearsal into, Stiletto! People looked a bit uncomfortable around me in the dressing room…
Kevin — our arm span is equivalent to our height! So yes, I have very long arms, like a monkey. I’m glad I ‘touched’ you. (Not with my arms)
But if I don’t look like a Wookie, Jaime… what do I look like?

You give Johnny Depp a run for his money as a cute pirate dude.
You are pretty scary as a monster/creature/alien thing though!
sebastian
Sep 15, 2009
Well, that’s the key to acting… flexibility!
I’m sure Depp would agree with me. That guy has really played a huge variety of roles

Oh how I’ve missed the random ways of Mr. Sebthe past few weeks. You just made my day… ailen style.

I was sent here to this planet to please you, JPP.
Nanu, nanu…!

Oh my god, it’s hideous!
Whoever took the video is brilliant. But you do not look like a Wookiee. Wookiees walk upright, and they’re kind of cute.

I think I saw Mr Seb butt crack as you wobblomped (wobble + stomped) off stage. I’m kind of traumatised.
