I woke up this morning to discover that I did not have a voice. Nothing, nada, zilch. I got some of it back throughout the day, of course, but I still sound like an old man who's smoked for 40 years. Gross.

I met with Allison R., the photographer this morning at her house. She was great. She actually shot for Playboy for about 15 years, don't worry--I won't be shooting anything Playboy-style :) But, I saw examples of her work, and it was really good quality. I think I'll be getting my haircut in the next couple of days...a style that will be posted later, I'm sure... ;) And, I'll be taking headshots with her once I return with my car and all my stuff. I'm really looking forward to that; I like having photo shoots!

After that, I got some lunch at a nearby mall, and then went to Grace Community Church, where I talked to the nice receptionist, and picked up an "Opportunity Sheet," which allows church members to list things like apartment rooms for rent, etc. I called about 5 numbers, and have heard back from a few of them. Three so far have sounded promising, and they're all Christians, which is a nice start--knowing we have some important lifestyle common-ground--and I'm going to meet one of the potential roomies tomorrow. Then another on Thursday (she's a 45-year-old Filipino woman! haha, wouldn't that be random?) I'll definitely keep you updated on the search, but please be praying about this one, because housing is kind of a big deal...

As for the agent situation--kind of good news. I called her again today, and it went straight to voicemail. It said her mailbox was full...which means, she's probably swamped, and I'm most likely not the only one she hasn't called. I'm ok with that. But, I'm ready for you to call me back, Agent S! What's with these laid back, LA people!?! AAAH! lol, whatev. I'm sleepy and I want my voice to recoup, so I'm going to relax and then head to bed early...Goodnight moon...did any of you have that book when you were little? Well, goodnight.

   Well, your deep voice might open some doors for you. Look at Felicity Huffman. She was nominated for an Oscar last year for hers. ;)
   
   Hee, hee, hee!

   Playboy and Goodnight Moon in the same blog. Talk about playing to all audiences!
   
   Seriously, it sounds like you're having fun, and that's so important. God bless you on your journeys, Lauren. We're pulling for you.
