Poor Alex! And news about Monday's filming...

[frodos-smile.livejournal.com]

I think Alex is on painkillers... This is his blog entry from today, and is rather incoherent. But I think I have the gist of his message in my poor translation...




Estoyecribiendo desdeunadeesasmaquinashorriblesdel aeropuerto, de esa que me metescutroeuros yte dejan escribirunossegundos.Ahoramism cojoel avion para Londres. Me he torcido el tobillo ayer,lo tengo venddo,peroetoyvivo.quemal escribe esto,dios. mañan ruedo lassecuencias desexo entreelijah y leonor...Esperoquetodo vy bien.

My very poor translation...
I am ecribiendo since one of those you plot horrible of the airport, of that that put me cutro euro and they leave you to write some seconds.now mism lame the avion for London. I have twisted me the ankle yesterday, I have it venddo, but I am alive.that badly writes this, God. tomorrow we film the sequences of sex between Elijah and Leonor. I hope everything goes well.


As I said, with the incredible run-ons in his typing today, I think poor Alex must be on painkillers because of his ankle. I had to guess at where to separate the words for the translation, and still can't get it right. Honestly, I didn't even try with some of it. But I do feel confident of the last two sentences. :-)

most ppl can't take watching that kind of thing, even if it's just a kiss or something small. and then there are some ppl who want to watch to make sure their partner doesn't try to pull anything lmao.

Yes, I think I've read interviews with the partners of actors who said they couldn't bring themselves to watch their partner's sex scenes. As for "pulling", I did read once that when Julie Christie & Donald Sutherland were filming their famous sex scene in Don't Look Now it was the real deal! ;-D

I can barely stand to kiss another actor

What if it was Elijah??? I'm sure you'd get over your inhibitions pretty quickly! :-)

It stands for "sexy octopus" (for someone with grabby hands!)

;-D

OK, so you figured out it means "significant other"! ;-)

Actually I think if it were me I would prefer to have the SO there. I would feel MORE guilty and unfaithful if they weren't.

Maybe one day when you & I are famous movie stars, we can swap notes about our sex scenes, hey?!

;-D

I look forward to seeing this famous kiss then! :-)

Hey, get those hugging tentacles off me, you big SO!

;-D

:D!! Hopefully those sex scenes will involve sandwiches or rice paper rolls - nudge nudge wink wink.

[chickenlegs-11.livejournal.com]

Nah ah! You're stuck with me now. *sucky sucky*

[lyrastar77.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the pics! Wow, she is lovely! Reminds me of someone though I can't think who ... maybe someone I used to know in RL?

Now who was it I was having a conversation with a few months back about ideally not being able to hold a pencil/pencil case under your boobs? ;-)

And 5'3 too! Good things come in small packages ...

Mmmmm ... huge baguettes dripping with mayo! Hot spring rolls ... yummy! ;-)

Well, thanks for the translation -- I'm trying to imagine what kind of scenario would have kidney and a medium in it! ;-)

Seeing that food has been mentioned in the form of ham, I'm just guessing now but maybe "some cdés for Elijah" means "some crudités for Elijah". Hmmm -- sounds a bit ... crude! ;-D

;D Do you write fan fic by any chance? You should!! And that icon is just perfect!

[roqui.livejournal.com]

yay! elijah having sex. can't wait! :-D

[lyrastar77.livejournal.com]

Yes, I *do* write fanfic! And thanks for the compliment about my Sam icon, which I created along with this one to go with a F/S first-time fic! :-)

True, Cristo would generally be attached to Jesus, and Jesus is indeed a common name for males in Spanish. We're on the same page. :-)

[frodos-smile.livejournal.com]

LOL, chickenlegs, SO stands for "significant other". :-)

Hah! Marlango is Leonor's jazz/pop band, so I'm sure Elijah will be interested to listen to that one. Here the band is on MySpace, so we can all hear them.

http://myspace.com/marlango

And Jorge Drexler is an Uruguayan musician, whose official site is here:

http://www.jorgedrexler.com/

Looks like late b'day for Elijah from Alex (maybe he found out Elijah already owned an XBox 360?), getting music. Not indie bands, as actually requested, but Spanish music, nonetheless. And for him to hear Leonor sing... I wonder if he was already aware of Marlango before meeting Leonor...

. I took the "quemal escribe esto,dios" to be "how badly this thing writes" or, less literally, "It's really hard to write with this thing"

I didn't even think about that, and now it does make more sense. ;)

Re: Not a literal translation.

[chantalthespy.livejournal.com]

that's because i deleted them. ;)

Re: Not a literal translation.

[chantalthespy.livejournal.com]

Dios does mean god, but I wasn't doing a literal translation, and people use the word Jesus more. I mean in my opinion they do when showing frustration. But if you wanted to stick the actual word god in the there, it would just be, "God, this thing writes bad!"

Re: Yet another blog post

[lyrastar77.livejournal.com]

Agreed -- I think CDs is much more likely! :-)

This gets more & more interesting by the minute. Jazz/pop band huh? Thanks for the links! :-)

I'd have to see the movie again to comment on the cnemistry in their other scenes together (though I'd argue it was better after the marriage ceremony) but I thought the kiss itself was hot. :)

I got the icon from someone years and years ago, but I believe the picture comes from this shoot:
