Hello everyone, this is my translation of a recent blog entry. My translation may well have some mistakes in it, but probably less than Babelfish's. :) The original is here:
http://blasfemandoenelvrticedeluniverso.blogspot.com/2007/02/despues-de-vietnam-al-vietnamita.html

There was a plan to go get dinner at a Vietnamese restaurant, and Elijah was planning to go, and he said he would bring along Vigo [hee!] Mortensen, who's in town doing a film with Cronenberg, as addicts of this blog are already aware. It seemed like a good plan, really, but I came back to my "The Shining" apartment and I've been abducted. The damn twins are holding me here with their psychic powers. Some other day we'll make plans and go wherever you want, but as Campanilla, one of the readers of the blog, says, I'm not that young anymore. So I'm staying here and writing, and I hope they have a great time at the Vietnamese place. Although, to tell you the truth, it sounds like the typical kind of plan where in the end it's just Paco the wardrobe guy and me at the Vietnamese place, which is what always happens. Man, if Cronenberg were coming, I'd make an effort, but I don't think he will. He's probably exhausted at his apartment.

Today we only had one scene with Elijah. Pamela, his girlfriend, is back from Moscow. What a joy to see her around the set, with her smile. A true delight. And Mr. Hurt was splendid. I recorded his voiceovers. We also finished up with Alex Cox, filming the sequences from the psych hospital. Thank you, Mr. Cox. This weekend I'll put up some mythical photos...

The other day some paparazzis came and took pictures on the set... They're probably those pictures that come out on realnews. Tomorrow we change locations, go to Bushey... God, I feel like I'm slowly running out of batteries. It seems that my organism administrates my energy and it generates a kind of extra motor for filming, and when it runs out, it stops, and I feel like the bunnies that don't have Duracell.

Pamela, his girlfriend, went back to Moscow.

Hmmm, some other translations I read said Pamela had come back from Moscow. According to the tour info, GB doesn't have any more appearances in Russia. And she and Elijah love Thai food, so that would explain the Vietnamese restaurant choice since the food is very similar to Thai.

Thanks for the translation. I wish now I'd studied Spanish instead of French. ;>)

Wheww! I'm glad you're not upset. I really debated about whether or not say anything. Since you were nice enough to do a translation, I was reluctant to say I thought something wasn't quite right. ;>)

What's "abducido"?

According to my translator, it's abduction, or abducted.

Miticas photos? I'm stumped. I wonder if he means imaginary or fictitious, but that doesn't make sense either. My translator gives only mythical as the English translation of the word.

Incredible photos? Monumental photos?

Aha...you may be onto something here. Maybe he means photos that are so wonderful, so increditible that they're of mythical proportions. I've heard the expression "mythical proportions" used to mean something really fantastic.

I suspect it means "virtual" photos -- as in digital, as in not printed but online?
