so, i have a few things to blog about, and i was waiting for some pictures to make the post more interested, however then i noticed that i only had one march post, and thought i was due!
so, what's been keeping me busy? march is a crazy month, we've almost had a house guest every single day, or at least one of the roomies had some friend or relative in town. last week, i got to hang out with one of my best friends, meredith and her mom and sister. what a treat! [waiting on pictures...check back later!] it was great to spend time with one of my surrogate families from cape! we had so much fun, did lots of shopping, and got to celebrate mer's birthday, which was great! next week, my mom, brother, and his friend are coming! i am SO excited!!! i can't wait to see them, and share my daily life stuff with them! and do touristy stuff, too, i'm sure... :)
on the acting front: i'm getting ready to head out to go to another agency open call. we'll see how that goes. my weekly acting classes are going great, i love my coach and the other guys in my class; it's a great environment, and it's good to stay loose. i did some background work two weeks ago for the feature film "bedtime stories." it stars adam sandler and keri russell (both of whom were standing about 10 feet from me during the shoot!!). the day i worked, it was filming on santa monica beach, and i was a bicyclist! so, i just borrowed my roommate's bike, and rode down to the set-it was great!! met some awesome people, and enjoyed getting paid for riding on the beach!
i also very generously was allowed to borrow my former neighbor and friend's camera while she was out of town. i wanted to shoot some more footage to compile a hosting reel. so, i enlisted my friend scott, and he and i went out on the town and filmed a lot of good stuff-hopefully the reel will have enough stuff soon, and i'll be able to post it!! i have lots of stuff going on in terms of sending out more mailings, researching agents, etc. so, i feel like it's finally getting back into the swing of things.
deal or no deal update:
for those of you that watch "deal," i thought i'd post a way for you all to see which episodes i'm in the audience...so far, i don't believe they've aired, but it should be soon, i think.
#1) the models wore red dresses with braided straps. the contestant was a pakistani woman, and tyra banks was her idol...
#2) the contestant was a 28ish year old guy from california, and they made a big to-do about his dead grandmother helping him psychically...the models wore aqua dresses...
#3) the models wore salmon colored dresses, and the contestant was an older woman from massachusetts
we got free passes for a screening of the movie "traitor" this past week. it was crazy because it doesn't come out until august 29th, so we saw a really raw, almost unedited version of the film. at the end, we had to fill out an extensive survey, that they use to judge audience reactions and then do a re-edit before the actual release date. the crazy innerworkings of hollywood...who'da thought? but, i will say the film (starring don cheadle!! and guy pearce!) was really good. i'd definitely recommend it!!
during this Easter season, i'll post more after Easter, because i have several festivities coming up to celebrate...our church celebrated passover with a Seder. last night, we had a real Seder service at one of the church member's houses, and it was so cool-i've never really celebrated passover, and it was just really organic, feeling like i was doing pretty close to what Jesus would have been doing at the same time years and years ago...if you've never had a passover seder, i highly suggest doing one! lots of food, stories, friends, and traditions...very cool.
other than that, i've been working quite a bit, hanging out, sewing a yoga mat bag with my buddy amanda, and yeah, trying to remain content in all my circumstances. what can i say, i feel very blessed, and quality of life continues to remain excellent :)
hopefully i'll have pictures and more stories to post soon...Happy Easter everyone!!
