...I said to defend myself to one of the Wolverine producers when he teased me for naming all the animals I meet. Lemme back up...
Monday equalled my last full day in Sydney and since I'd finished my script the morning before-- oh, sidebar please...
I FINISHED MY SCRIPT TWO DAYS EARLY. THAT HAPPENED. IT'S AMAZING, I'M SO SUPER HAPPY AND PROUD OF MYSELF FOR ACCOMPLISHING MY GOAL AND IT FEELS FUCKING INCREDIBLE!!! End sidebar.
I decided to treat myself to a day off from writing and just do exactly what I wanted to do. Today, that was play with koalas and kangaroos and then visit Stella at set and watch Jim work.
Jen turned me on to this Wildlife Park in nearby Featherdale-- okay after collective 2 trains, 2 buses, and 3 hours travel, not so nearby. But these guys were totally worth it.
What I learned:
-Koalas stink.
-Koalas are mean.
-Koalas are stoned all the time from the eucalyptus they eat.
-Dingos are dogs?? I thought they were these big weird monster animals. They're not though, they're really cute.
-Bats swivel around by their little feet when they're hanging upside down. It's genius.
-Older Japanese ladies FREAK OUT over koalas.
That's it. That's all I learned. I didn't read any of the placards except for the Dingo one.
My visit to set was magic, as always. This is The Best Set I've ever been on- from the crew to the cast to the producers and Jim, everyone involved could not have been more generous or welcoming. I know I've said it before and I can't say it enough- I love this set. And, of course, NBFFHJ couldn't be a better human being. To get to spend the afternoon watching what I love surrounded by the nicest people I've met was the perfect way to end my gorgeous trip.
