Cool Stuff and Some Uncool Stuff.

First, The Uncool. Kidney stones.
Yep, my internal organs tried to kill me. With rocks. But I got ‘em first, sure enough. And now I’ve got a string hanging out the end of my unit and it hurts when I stand up, sit down, walk more than 10 feet and pee. Every. Time. Only another week though!
What’s that? That sound? Oh, you may have heard my teeth gnashing, that’s all.
Sparing too many boring and/or gross details, I got to go to the emergency room a couple of times and get wacked out by some really awesome drugs. I’d never make it as a junkie though, it takes too many to get me high and I get uncomfortably wacky. Said some stuff during “recovery” though that makes for some good stories that I may or may not tell here.
Enough of the Uncool. I’m so unbelievably tired of this that I, well, want to go to sleep. Heh.
Now, for The Cool.
Just happened upon a trailer for the movie I’m going to be in. Yep, you heard right, and if you remember me blogging about it (and I actually remembered to blog about it) last July or so I may have mentioned what a collossally huge star I’m going to be.
So, here you go:
This is for reference, because when you see the movie trailers it’ll blast by us medieval types so fast that you’ll wonder if I was the grey blur or the green one. So my advice is to go to the Congoro (www.congoro.com) site, click “Trailers” and the first one (”Teaser”) will just start playing. Pause it, then move the movie marker to about the very beginning.
THERE! Third from the left between the two shiny masked fellas. That’s me!
Impressed? I can tell you are.
But wait, it gets better.
Watch the other one, “Theatrical”. Pause it at about… 6.608 seconds. There I am again, pretty much the same shot as before.
K’, hit “Play” again. Pause at… 19.396. That’s my brother-in-law Doc Sam on the right with the round yellow shield.
And again… pause it quick this time at 21.551 and you’ll see my friend Freaky Frank yelling “To the Death!”
And again… 26.038, right after “He would stop at nothing” and you’ll see just over the hero’s left shoulder is a shiny head that belongs to my other brother-in-law Chris.
26.482 shows the hero slicing a bad guy (other movie star guy) with long black hair who’s wearing the leather armour I made.
38.664 has a nice closeup of my friend Matt P. who almost always looks that fiercely intense, making him a natural for either an extra in battle scenes or laxative ads.
42.038 has a great closeup of the Captain of Grey Company (our li’l medieval troupe) Paul, wearing an authentic Viking helmet that authentically hides his face. I know it’s him because he’s taller than all the other fellas in line. Heh.
52.715 has a closeup of the actor, one of the “Matts” (movie star “Matts” that is) wearing the stuff that I made.
What? Alright, that’s not really “better” but it’s something.
Just think. Eventually it’ll be more than just me asking you to watch stuff and hit “Pause” a lot so that you can see the edge of my shoe, you’ll be able to go see this bad boy in a real theatre, even in the States I’m told.
When you do, yell nice and loud, “Hey there’s JUDD! The one with the sword and shield and helmet that’s yelling! I totally know that guy!” You’re sure to make plenty of friends when people find out you rub elbows with stars.
That’s all I got right now. It’s late and my peesqueezer hurts.
Smooches and hugs.
