Fiji Update 6 – Time To Go Home
Okay, I’m about ready to go home now. It’s past that 2 1/2 week period where you just can’t party, drink fruity cocktails or enjoy the beautiful beaches anymore. I’m all Indian Curry and Pineappled out. Too much of a good thing gets boring.
I also think it’s because summer is kicking into high gear here, so it’s getting pretty humid. Which equates to the blood on me getting stickier everyday on set and the bugs just going crazy all over me sipping the corn syrup base.
My wife also just informed me that our little girl’s starting to kick. So I definetely want to get back asap. I get back into LA Sunday night but there’s a huge hurricane/cyclone over the islands right now that I hope passes soon.
But worst of all, one of our cast members dislocated his shoulder on the waterslide (or as they say in Australia: the “Slippery Dip”) so we had to find a replacement for our watersliding “team” with another cast member. And it wasn’t pretty. Our timing was all off. Either my butt crashed into the head of one of my co-stars or there was too much time between our entries. The magic was gone. So it’s time to go home.
Today was also the big “kissing” day with the 17 year-old co-star. All went well and it was sweet without being too over the top. I think I was nervous because the script said, “and they kiss passionately”. But we agreed to opt to just one small, kiss appropriate for the characters. We didn’t kiss during any of the camera rehearsals and brushed our teeth and ate breath mints – all things to make it a bit easier on both sides. And usually if it’s a really intimate scene in front of a crew of 40 people, this is what you say to your partner to cover you on all angles, “Forgive me if I don’t get aroused and forgive me if I do.”

Hey there, Parry!
Hehe…sometimes, too much of a good thing can become bad.
But I am glad you enjoyed most, if not, your entire stay in Hawaii. The waterslide incident does suck, but at least no one else got hurt. I wish you a pleasant, safe trip home to your wife and soon-to-be born daughter. And good tip to keep in mind for a staged make-out session. 
Take care!
I must have completely missed the post on the pregnancy announcement, but I just wanted to offer my congratulations. Oh, and try not to enjoy that kiss too much…hanky panky with a minor might land you in jail.
awwwwwww! lil girl!!!!
have a safe trip back

the last line…i’ve always wondered about that
hmmm does it feel weird to kiss someone who isn’t your wife? I wouldn’t know how I’d feel about that, hehe.
LOL love that last line
“Forgive me if I don’t get aroused and forgive me if I do.” hahaha, that cracked me up
it would have been funnier if you ate a whole bunch of garlics
funny… not nice
The first time you feel your baby move? Absolutely surreal…. After a while, it’s not a big deal to your wife, but to you? You’re gonna want to feel it all the time, and everyday you’re gonna ask if she moved.
have safe trip home!
Wow, I didn’t think water-sliding was THAT brutal. How fast were you all going anyway?
You’ll be home soon. There’s no place like home, hm?
Good advice, I gotta use that next time.
Hope you had a good time over there and have a safe trip back.
Sounds great so whats the movie called?
