Amendments

SO....Yesterday was all about what i hate, but apparently i wrote that too early in the day. Example 1- i have now seen the harry potter trailer... and it is going to be bad ass
example 2- i had yet to see the front of my car and that someone had written"fuck you" in the dust o it.

this made me a little hurt. why? who knows it was probably just some idiot neighborhood kid who can no longer loiter on the corner due to the fact business actually opened down there. but still at first i couldn't help but look around and wonder... why? why do you hate me? what did i do? I soon realized that those feelings were ridiculous and then proceeded to get pissed off. I would love o wash the car myself to avoid making someone else feel this pain, but where is there a car wash in my neighborhood that is self serve? there isn't! so now i have to go to a car wash and the person there is going to think i am rude due to some idiot neighborhood kid! that is unless i did piss someone off and they wrote it..... hmmmm

I feel the earth move under my feet

Okay so I have always been the one that is like...man i kinda want to feel an earthquake. I have lived in LA for 3 years and that had yet to happen until this morning. So I am just cleaning my house and then i hear this crack followed by a loud rumbling... and that's when the floor and walls started moving. It was less than 30 seconds, but it scared the crap out of me. I just stood in a doorway as I watched our Batman figurine try to fly for safety. Unfortunately he ended up crashing and breaking his foot mount. The TV was hopping forward like it was gonna commit harry carry also. So why did i ever want to feel an earthquake? hmm baffles me. Well now I can say I have experienced it and I don't like it!
Here are some more things I don't like (a continuation of an earlier blog)
-feeling itchy..makes me feel like there are bugs everywhere
-the words "we need to talk"
-the way you find sand at home 3 weeks after you have gone to the beach
-the creepy eating baby on the wii
-cat hair
-when a good book doesn't keep going
-when people walk up to a bar and say .."yeah can i have a beer"..not specifying
-waiting for paychecks
-the tree outside my house that makes the evil sharp flowers of death
-the fact my dryer takes 3 cycles to actually dry something
-cankles
-white walls
-bills
-when i can hear people chewing
-inconsiderate parkers
-clutter
-the word moist
-the fact i have still yet to see the harry potter trailer
.......i suppose that will do for now... although i know that there are plenty of other things out there that really really irk me

I want more of this

So life just took a good turn last week. That call back I got put on hold for worked out and I booked my first all network national commercial for may tag. So i was pretty stoked. Then at the wardrobe fitting i found out that Jason Reitman... the director of Juno and writer/director of Thank you For Smoking is involved in the shoot. So this is a pretty amazing thing. Also he is just a really cool chill dude. I attended his annual hosted party the Hard C School dance this weekend and had a blast. There were a lot of people there but I was on the dance floor all night busting out the best 80s and 90s moves i could manage. So i shoot the commercial tomorrow and could not be more nervous/excited. Today I have an audition for Suzuki, but it wouldn't ever be aired in the US. It would be pretty cool to book though just cause it films over seas.
So yeah things are cool right now.... i just hope that the trend continues an things keep getting better. So keep your fingers crossed.

what happened to June?

Okay seriously... i think the entire last month just went by while i was sleeping. I know it did exist because i remember working, but as far as seeing friends, that barely happened. There have been a few updates in life. Karie is currently living with Jon and me. We are a little like Three's Company, but Jack actually gets some in this situation. I have been working, and have met a few of my early career goals by playing Jean Harlow and also a dead girl for a crime show. Our fabulous best man Justin came to visit and while he was in town finally decided to commit to a move out here. He and Karie will be moving in together sometime in August. My current obsession is a series or a saga if you will of books called Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and the newest Breaking Dawn. They are gothic/romance/fantasy/AWESOME! I am actually infatuated with a fictional character. Not the boy who will portray him in the film version, although Robert Pattinton is no one to run away from, but the actual written character has stolen my heart. Probably because he is a romantic male figure written by a woman and in no way could possibly exist in the real world. Oh and he is a vampire! That helps. In the past week i have read the first three books of the series and lapped Karie who is also reading them by rereading the first book. I will most likely continue this pattern until the 4th book is released August 2nd. I already have it on hold when the shipment arrives at the Borders around the corner. Also the movie of the first book comes out December 12th and i can guarantee i will be in line with all the 12 year old girl for opening night. Okay so now you see what I mean... I am literally obsessed. I think that Stephanie Meyer, the author, laced the pages of the books with crack. But moving on..... if i can bear it.
Not a lot else is new, I am back in contact with an old friend....my first "real" boyfriend to be exact. Although I am sure this contact will be brief as history has proven that to become a pattern in life. He will be going back to the giant sandbox of war and doing prison duty for the next year. So until he is back in the states, ...hopefully for good this time...stupid stop loss, i am sure our communication will return to its usual intervals. Also i am currently on hold/avail for a national commercial for maytag where i would play a trashy jersey gal on the slot machines. I really want this avail to actually turn into something. In the past I have been put on hold so many times i lost count but it never amounted to many bookings. Okay so that wraps up another boring rambling of my current sitch in life. THE END

Something about Something

So yeah, this has been one hell of a busy week. Last Wednesday Karie moved to town and into Jon and my place. She is staying here by my orders until she tests out LA and finds where she wants to live. So far the roomy situation is fine. It still feels weird, like she is just visiting and that I need to see her as much as possible. But she has a job for the next three weeks working with Jeff at his company and so she will be gone 9-7 every weekday. Along with the Karie move this past weekend LA hosted some of my favorite people for the Out of Bounds West improv festival. I only got to see one evening of shows last Thursday but more important than the shows was getting to see old friends who traveled in from NY and Chicago. I miss the hell out of those people. So things are winding down now. Jon had a heap of car trouble yesterday which ending up costing a pretty penny or maybe a million pennies.. I really don't want to do the math. But thats all fixed and now I can relax. Next week I start work on the new Eddie Murphy movie called "A Thousand Words". I am hoping it isn't a movie in which he plays all the characters but I suppose I wont find out until Monday. I have recently done two videos for my friends at "I am Zumwalt" So if i can figure out how to put them in the blog... I leave you with some fab enertainment.

Rainy Days and Fridays

So it is raining in LA for the 2nd day straight now. At first I was really enjoying the break from sunshine, but it isn't pleasant wrap up in a blanky rain really. It is more of the gloomy just makes me sadsy rain. I want thunder and lightening and for it to rain so hard that it looks like it is raining from the ground. So here I am an hour before I am supposed to be at "work"trying to find the motivation to get dressed. I

40 year old babies

So yeah... i went down to Central Casting today to register with them so that there are no complications with my work on Mad Men since they are the primary casting agency for the show. I expected the process to be long and silly, and indeed it was. The horrid part of today's experience is that it once again made me hate people. The average age range of people there today was 40, yet when we were instructed to line up behind the green line for registration, people were literally pushing the person next to them over to hurry and try to get in the front of the line. I actually saw a 50 year old man push over a 30 year old woman and she fell to her knees. He just kept trucking and didn't think twice. Seriously... they are background actors how important is what they are doing later in the day that they have to act with such disregard to their neighbors. Not to mention the fact that that man came from a decade where men were supposed to be chivalrous. But why am I surprised? I mean i have been doing background work for almost a year now and it is an incredibly rare thing when you find an older gentleman on a set who would offer their seat to a woman of same age or younger when chairs were lacking. Not since watching Bad Santa have I felt ashamed for being human. Sometimes I truly hate humanity.
