Well..........I think Europe is done with me. It's time for me to start heading home. The shooting on Eragon is now wrapped, and only the production office in Budapest remains......I have seen sooooooo much since I arrived on October 8th, I can't even begin to explain the experiences that our team, and I as an individual have been through. This was one of those few times in life that will leave its mark forever. I am now in Holland for a few days before I start to make my way home. My hat goes off to all those people who live in Eastern Europe...........it's damn cold!!! A strong bunch for sure. Rachel came over to Budapest, on her way to England for a convention..........it was great to see a friend so far away from home in a city that you would never expect to run into anyone you know. I just wanted to say thank you to the heads of the stunt department on Eragon, for looking after us and keeping us laughing all the time. Melissa, CC, Andy,Allen, Steve, Marc, and Gabor..........thanx very much!! Its nice to see how other parts of the world do things. Cheers to the Hungarian crew as well..........and Stuart, Kata, and Erika for keeping us all on time and as comfortable as we could be. Chrissy, Dora, Anita,......costume dept. from Hungary....thanx for trying so hard to keep us warm.........All of the British costume team as well, you know who you are......thanx very much. One more thing for CC and Allen, the swordmasters, I hope we did your vision justice, and you will be happy with the final product............my sword is yours anytime, I hope you enjoy our work on Atlantis and SG1! Thanx for the last minute advice, Ivon..............and Andy Mikita was completely correct about Budapest, Thank you!! Eggesegedre!! I think I spelled that wrong but it basically means "To your health" in Hungarian. Ciao.

I totally forgot to say, I was lucky enough to meet Torri recently and ask her about her upcoming scenes in The Long Goodbye. She had a lot to say about her training for the fight sequences and the way in which you planned them out etc it sounds awesome, I can't wait to see it and all your hard work!!!

I can't wait to see Eragon! I first heard that they were making the movie from your blog, so I'm planning on waiting for your name to roll by on the credits and when it does I'll give you a standing ovation. I might even start a wave. Who knows?

Keep up the good work, I'm excited for "The Long Goodbye" too.

Hi BamBam

Wow what an experience you have had. Is it something you will remember for life? People make life worth living anywhere you go it's what spices life. Cherish it.

Cannot wait to read future blogs when production starts again for SG-1 and Atlantis. Yeah!

Well, stay warm, safe and happy this holiday time. Lots of hugs your way.

Thanks for checking out my site Bam Bam!

OH I got Christopher Paolini's book 'Eldest' for Christmas. And I was reading it outside and thought to myself "Hmm Eragon, that name sounds familiar..." :-P

Then my sister was sweeping outside, broke the broom (again)on my ankle! Then goes, "Look at me! I'm Teyla!" swinging the broom around and dancing. I just burst out laughing, told her she either gets stick twirling lessons from you. Or to never do that again :P

Have a safe Christmas!
