me and muse
Spent the first 8 hours of easter Saturday either throwing up or lying in bed knowing that I should get to the bathroom to throw up.
The smoked smell of the room did NOT help.
At one point, it got so bad I was sitting on the toilet, doing what you do, whilst simultaneously throwing up in the bidet (that thing in a european bathroom that looks like a small toilet, used for washing your bits after you’ve been).
Struggled out of bed, sweating (even my eyes were sweating) and fighting the urge not to be sick no more.
Told the hotel if they couldn’t move me to a non-smoking (unsmoked) room, I’d be checking out.
made it to the first location of the ‘muse’ press shoot day 2.
Managed not to throw up again, the whole day.
But didn’t eat anything the whole day which would have fuelled another vomitron.
Althougth I was aching like crazy, running a temperature and desperately in need of sleep, we still managed to shoot 31 rolls of film and some digital, of which some was done balancing up a tall ladder.
Georgina and namalee were also feeling rough…but that had more to do with their being out last night and having an ‘adventure’ which included narrowly avoiding arrest after a water fight in a bar, trying to climb out of a 3rd storey window, upsetting an italian police officer by having mis-matching nail varnish and possibly having their drinks spiked in one of the many clubs they found their way into.
All while I was throwing up and feeling miserable.
Had a good/happy day shooting in milano despite feeling like death itself.
didn't make it to lake como though.
Had a little pasta before bed and passed out early.
fun times in milan.
