Richard Armitage dreams prefer hotel rooms as setting

Previous Armitage dreams in which Armitage appears as Armitage: first (recurring) ; second ; third (recurring) ; fourth ; fifth; sixth; seventh. It’s striking that four of seven of those dreams involved hotel rooms somehow. So does this one.

Glad this journey is almost over. As much as I love the anonymity of the hotel room and its conduciveness to Armitage fantasy, I, the person who writes Servetus, was not made to be a road warrior. Even with the accompaniment of the vocal stylings of Richard Armitage, which have been great and very thought-provoking (hopefully a post coming up on disc 1 of LoTN.)

Thanks for all the good wishes and prayers, guys. I can feel them with me.

This is a short one.

Phone rings — motel wakeup call. I hang up the phone and fall back asleep.

Richard Armitage is standing at the foot of the bed, dressed only in boxer shorts, talking excitedly on his call and waving his hands energetically!

I look up at him blearily. “What’s up?” I growl.

“You’re going to love this!” he says. “My agent’s just called — I got the new role!”

“That’s great,” I mumble.

He looks at me. “Aren’t you going to ask what it is?”

“What is it?”

“There’s going to be a new biopic of Sir Edmund Hilary‘s ascent of Everest, and I’ve been cast as Edmund Hilary!”

I push my head back into the pillow.

“Come on,” he insists, “what do you think?”

“Better than George Mallory.”

“Yeah,” he says, “you told me I can’t take any more roles where the character dies during the film for a while.”

“You’ll have to work on your New Zealand accent, though.”

“But wait, you haven’t heard the best part!”

“What’s that?” I ask. “You get to climb Everest?”

“Yes!” he says, “and the filmmakers want *you* to play Tenzing Norgay.”

“You’re crazy,” I say. “I don’t look anything like Tenzing Norgay.”

“That’s what it’s going to be so great,” he said. “You get to climb Mount Everest, too, and you’ll have to undergo a total transformation!”

I push my head back into the pillow again.

The next think I know, I hear a loud knocking at the door and it’s housekeeping, wondering if they can clean the room.

To see if Armitage as Hilary works for you, check out pictures of Edmund Hilary. Also notice that both men have already been on New Zealand money.

I do not bear any resemblance to Tenzing Norgay beyond being a fellow human being.
