Letters from Camp PoP

Dear Maggie

This is the best summer camp ever! We get archery, fencing, sword fights, horseback riding and drama club. Mickey and Jerry B put on the best camp. And craft services isn't crafts its the canteen and you can use Mickey money to get anything you want. But I can't cause I have to eat from food list that got sent ahead, bummer.

I have my own horse and Gemma does too, and they told me I'm gonna get to take off my riding helmet when I get really really good. I get some really awesome riding clothes too. I have a bunch of scimitars or but I guess I should call them shamshirs if I want to be correct.

It's really hot here, but we have air conditioning in our bunks, how cool is that? My bunk buddy is great too.

I haven't cut my hair at all this summer and it's getting so long, it will be longer than yours soon. It's just a pain in the butt to keep out of my eyes. Gemma says I need some clips or just pull it up in a many-tail.

The staff says we're gonna get to leave base camp and do some camping out, maybe in tents! And we get to bring our horses. I think that is in a few weeks, we have a lot to do here before we can do that.

Yeah, there's gonna be camels beside the horses and that they smell and spit. Yeah that sucks.

My day? - Get up really early and exercise, then its off for breakfast and then riding lessons, then stunt class, drama club, swords or archery, combat and fight training then we get lunch, I have diction for my accent or Farsi class after lunch when I'm alway kind of sleepy, then more riding and drama club, yoga or Pakour workouts, some free time which I usually work out more, or practice my English accent or go over my Farsi. Dinner is good and I'm gonna get to cook sometime too. I have tons to do before lights out, usually studying for drama club or reading, working on what its like to be a prince. Then lights out campers.

We might get to put on a talent show at the end too, could you send my outfit from SNL. I won't need the wig.

Guess what - Friday night is movie night and they're showing Glory Road!

When you send the stuff could you throw in some magazines and sneak a couple bags of M&M peanuts, tell mom don't worry I'm using sunscreen, they are spraying my tan on after they wax. OUCH!!

Gotta go!

Possible Dreams Auction.

This provides money for programs and services on the island all year round. Some of the items up for bid each year are amazing. If you remember last year, Jake's dad put up building sandcastles and lunch for a group of ten.

It looks like Jake is carrying on the tradition of helping to support programs and services on the Vineyard. And it looks like the Moon Project is a go!

Another tradition is auctioning off hats, in tribute to Art Buchwald who started Possible Dreams.

Now which Jake hat would you bid on?

Santa Hat from Jarhead

Cowboy Hat from BBM

Sturgis Trucker Hat

Red Sox Baseball Cap

I want to go to camp too! Sounds like a lot of fun, and they have good taste in movies. :-)

I would bid on the Trucker Hat.

Oh I would bid on the Cowboy hat from BBM, no question! Gotta have it.

Cute post today. :)

I love that line "I wont need the wig". I wonder what kind of chemistry Jake will have with Gemma. Overall, he does not have much chemistry with women - nothing like Jack/Ennis or Jake/Austin.

TDK did $24mil Monday. Not a holiday Monday either. That's a weekend for some movies. I am planning to see it again this evening.

Sounds like they really are camping out.


Icelandic Actor Shooting Bruckheimer Movie in Morocco

Icelandic actor Gísli Örn Gardarsson is currently in Morocco to play one of the main parts in the new Jerry Bruckheimer movie Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Shooting began yesterday.

The movie is being shot in the city of Oukaimeden, at an altitude of almost 3,000 meters in the Atlas Mountains, Fréttabladid reports.

“It is much more exotic than I expected. I thought the city would be more Western,” Gardarsson said. “It is like from 1001 Nights; snakes, monkeys and desert storms.”

Gardarsson will be involved in filming until November and the final shots are scheduled for December 12. Other actors who play key roles in the movie include Jake Gyllenhaal, Ben Kingsley and Alfred Molina.

And more cast with double consonants!

TR, I deleted the post that was written in your name that you said you didn't write. I suggest getting a Blogger or LJ ID, that way no one can impersonate you. You don't have to actually start a blog or an LJ to get an ID.

I am really excited that it looks like the Moon Project is a go. I am looking forward to it.

I would bid on the cowboy hat. I don't know why anyone would bid on the Santa hat. In a real auction you would all be out bid by a mystery bidder from Texas anyway.

I have the feeling PoP is going to be a visual fantasy - can't wait to see it. Good news about the Moon Project too. :)

There is buzz in Boston about Sam and Linds. Sam is spinning tonight at party in Marina Bay and everyone is wondering if Lindsay is going to show up with her. There has been a request from Sam to for plenty of Red Bull and Water which has gossips here saying Lindsay Lindsay Lindsay.

And which hat - come on people what hat do you think I would bid on? ; )

Anonymous said...

Uh, Red Sox Cap? ;)

I think Linds and Sam are a great couple. I hope they are both there. :)

You think? I mean he got the package does he need the hat? Then again, don't think he wants anyone else to get their hands on that. The hat or the package.

Yes and no

Gemma is really sexy contrary his previous co star ( women) so i think the chemistry may be great.

I remember pics on a mag of him an this young actress alison lomhan , really cute together, i wonder with Portman though ?? lol

Bunk buddy? LOL

Gotta pick the trucker hat. Both wore it.

"Overall, he does not have much chemistry with women"

No, he doesn't, which is why he needs to beard. He had to do in life what he couldn't manage to do on the screen.

Special K said...

He has chemistry with older women, Susan Saradon, Catherine Keener for example. And I think he and Jen Aniston had good chemistry on screen.

I don't put the lack of chemistry in Proof on Jake. That was Paltrow.

It also seems like you can see him thinking through it. With Aniston he had closer personal relationship off screen that allowed him to be comfortable enough to stop thinking so to speak and go with it. Kind of think that will be the case with Natalie in Brothers.

With Jess Biel in Nailed, well that's going to be interesting. But then again wrapped in a black comedy/satire the dynamic could work.

Jake has never had any romantic chemistry with any woman on any screen. He has friendship chemistry with lots of women. Gay men often do.

Why is it that whenever pix are posted of Reese some Babbler has to suggest she looks pregnant?

She only acts to support her shopping.

OT But Love It!

He was Dr Horrible and now he's the Shoe Fairy on Sesame Street.

If they are going with the sex scenes as descriped in the script all the "sex scenes" Jake had done before will look like Kindergarten stuff.....

Somebody guessed Reese for this Daily Mirror BI. She was just in London.

london tb said...

I'd be so surprised if it were Reese! Not very Type A.

It's got to be the Trucker hat all the way, Spesh. I'd even forgo the Santa hat for the Trucker hat.

I love Jake's letter :)*

destiny said...

Looks like that Trucker Hat is going to be more expensive than I thought. :D

destiny said...

Meant to add that the more I hear about NPH, the more I love him.

NPH is my hero. What a cutie he is.

Special K said...

Wow filming PoP till December and Jake has promotions for Brothers as well. Talk about keeping busy.

I have to admit I can't wait to see him do the promotion for Brothers with his long hair. Talking about looking like the bad ass brother.
