grind.

oh no big deal i'm getting called in to read for 'hung' again. 3rd time. my agent called me this morning and was like 'what's going on with this?' and i was like 'i don't know. i guess they like me.' and she was like 'i'm gonna tell them to book you already.' and i was like 'cool'.

didn't write today. just too irritated with this leg business. i'm going to my audition and then i'm going to a free clinic (hooray for zero health insurance!) to get it checked out. i'm hoping the doc says it's fine. i've been on a major kick to get in great shape in general but mostly for the movie and my career in general so this is derailing my progress and morale. big time.

so... yeah. more auditions and writing and hopefully getting back on the bike. i leave for FL in 2 weeks for beth's birthday. it should be a good time. i wanna continue to write and work out there. it's not about getting anywhere, i'm taking it day by day, but i want to keep on this track. ugh. i'll get back on. the doctor will say the leg is fine. i'll be in the gym by 8 pm.

xoxo

i'm back.

i know i've fallen off the blogging horse. but i'm getting right back on! i also fell in a hole. i got right back up after that too, but i'm now crippled.

i had a good callback type audition today for hbo's 'hung'. it was great until the casting assoc said, 'you're SAG, right?' uummm no. shiiiit. so now i need to figure it all out. i was supposed to be sag from this thing i shot but then there is all of this BS around that and now i think i'm left without being an eligible member of the union. which bites. the big one. julie and i are forging ahead and we are gonna shoot a web series, fill out the sag paperwork, and bring sag to us. WE ARE NOT STUCK. ever. never never never.

let's see... i'm still waiting to hear further details on the josh pais project. the working title for the film is 'fantasy world'. which i kind of love :) i finished my first screenplay!!! i don't think i put that here. it's finally done and i've already moved on to the next one. haha i forget who said it but someone asked them what they favorite project was and they said the one they were working on at the time. i feel that way too. i fell in love with the characters and now i feel like i moved on somehow. hmm must figure out how to make that movie in approx 5 years. i also need to keep sending it out in the world for feedback. i'm working up the courage to send it to clark gregg and kristen johnston. hell, if i had mamet's email he'd be on the list too. it's the only way i'm going to mature as a writer and storyteller and movie maker. fuckin' scary, though.

now i'm working on another screenplay and i'm all set to do the CI weekend in 2 weeks. then i'm off to florida for a little while to visit my sister and celebrate her b-day. it's a wild world. i'm also really trying to work out like crazy because i want to be in good shape for the film. funny what things become a priority. i'm not stressed about the acting at all. i just don't wanna look fat on camera.

teen nick superstardom: here i come!

hey y'all -

so i had a major call back for a show on teen nick called "gigantic". i felt really good about my work in there, so we will see! i won't really know for sure either way until the episode is slated to start shooting... i probably didn't get it because it was on tuesday and i haven't heard but it was still a very positive experience. 

hmm... i'm in a showcase that is going up on the 16th and 17th. it should be a good time! i'm also doing the committed impulse weekend this weekend. that is incredible so far! if you can get the chance to take a class with josh pais, DO IT. the work is life changing. for realz. i'm also really trying to finish some scripts so that i can make some mov(i)es, but it's a process. a script is not finished over night (or even over month). i need to be patient.

yeah. that about covers it! i'm just trying to audition when i can, take some cool classes, work part time, and write write write. all in the california sunshine (seriously. i was wearing a sundress today and it's november.). oh, and i'm preparing to turn another year older. bahhh i hate getting older :) much love!

manage me.

i am meeting with that manager i really wanted to meet with! yippee!!! i finally figured out how to convert the dvd of my reel scene but the program i ripped it from put a watermark on top of our faces but i sent it to him anyway and i apologized for the watermark and then he wrote back and asked for my headshot and my bio but i didn't have a bio so i sent him my headshot and apologized for the lack of bio and he wrote me saying he wants to meet with me! whew. i really need a manager right now. i like having an agent, but i really need a manager to help me figure out all aspects of my career. okay, so hopefully he likes me and wants to work with me. i'd love a little help in this world. 

i hope all is well with you!

why is this whole life thing so complicated?

working (again) girl.

so..... i actually worked yesterday! it was supposed to be a part day, but then my boss wanted me there a little earlier and i left a little later and i was driving around and it was actually quite exhausting. i was on my feet the whole day, hauling art, getting people drinks, etc. i came home, went and hung out in the hot tub for a bit with shey and julie, but around 1 am, i was beat. this doesn't happen to me these days because so much of my life is based around a computer and sitting at said computer. even if it's a gym day, i'm still wide awake around 3 am. i guess what can i expect when i'm sitting at a computer all day, then i exercise for 2 hours, and i expect that to be enough? i'm young! i have energy! 

so..... i'm making a change! i'm going to go to THREE gym classes daily and try to do more things during the day to break up the ass-expanding-sitting-in-front-of-the-computer time. another cool thing happened, though, while i was working this art show - i got a total picture of the missing piece for my script. today i'm going to tie up loose phone calls and emails and write my precious little face off. then i'm off to the gym to take 3 classes. let's just hope that spinning isn't full again.

much loves,

m

one of those days...

... at least my whole story is notecard-ed and up on my wall. now it just stares at me. 

i think this is supposed to be the good life, right? i'm off to spin and not think.
