july.

hello all!! i know it's been awhile, and i thought it was definitely time for an update. yes, i'm still alive! the past month has been crazy!!

my parked car was hit and totaled, my best friend came to visit, i moved, and i went to indiana to visit the fam; not to forget 4th of july and a bridal shower thrown in there too! whew, see, that was a busy month! luckily, things worked out with the car situation, i had an amazing time with whitney in town, i found an awesome new house, and my trip home was refreshing as always! summer is slow on the acting front because several productions are on hiatus. i did attend a couple casting director workshops which were great! i made some good connections, and got to put up some good work, so i hope something comes from them eventually!

as for the new place, we majorly lucked out and found a house on the same street. we're just about 2 blocks away from our old place! the new place was available right away, and we felt like it was such a good deal, we couldn't pass it up. so, we rented it starting at the beginning of july, which was a bit of a bind on the ole pocketbook, however, it's been amazing, because we've been able to move our stuff in gradually, instead of cramming it all into one weekend. our new residence is a two unit apartment in the backyard of a house, which is similar to our first place, being that it's not this huge complex, which i really like.

here are a couple pictures, one is the front house, one is the backyard/courtyard, and the last is our front door! once we get it all organized inside, there will be more where these came from! enjoy :)

headshots part deux

below i'm posting a few unedited photos from a little impromptu photo sesh that my roomie/photographer extraordinaire, holland michael, took a couple weekends ago. we are both creative types, so we figured it would make for a fun afternoon to galavant around santa monica scouting fun locations and taking pictures. and, we were both happy with the turnout, i think. once i choose my favorites, and have them edited, i'll use these for my current headshots to submit for acting jobs. let me know your favorites!! hope you don't get sick of looking at my face :)

tv land

i was invited by my friend justin (aka jladd) to attend the tv land awards show red carpet. the event was held yesterday, and it was my first official red carpet event-well sitting in the bleachers, not actually walking the carpet, of course :)







anyway, we had a great time. as always, it was cool to be behind all the hollywood glamour, and see the backstage details of the event. we also got to see several celebs, some from older shows (the ones that actually deserve a spot on tv land!), some from newer ones. let's see...we saw most of the cast of the office (rainn wilson, andy, oscar, meredith, stanley...), a few golden girls (rue mcclanahan, betty white, bea arthur), roseanne, john goodman, jodie sweenten (aka stephanie tanner), ed asner (lou from the mary tyler moore show), vanessa williams (she was hosting), robert verdi (also hosting), kathy griffin, kinicky from grease, the dad and the fonz from happy days, doris roberts (everybody loves raymond), sarah chalke (elliot from scrubs), garry marshall, and greg brady.

here are a few pics-enjoy!!

flying is fun

so...my vague ending to yesterday's post is now going to be revealed! i know i bet all of you were just chomping at the bit-haha.e

at my boss, kris', memorial day last sunday, i met karen, who worked my job for him about 15 years ago. she and her husband, attila (yes, he was actually born in hungary, so he is sort of attila the hun) were really sweet people, and we ended up talking all afternoon. before we left, we found out that attila has his pilot's license, a 1939 luscomb prop plane, and loves an excuse to take people for a flight around la...so of course, in keeping with my plan to conquer as many exciting la experiences as possible, i jumped on the chance to take him up on his offer. so, holland and i met up with him today at the santa monica airport to each go on a flight!

let me tell you, it was amazing! we had so much fun, wow. the weather was perfect for flying, clear and sunny. we flew over the ocean, malibu, bel air, downtown la, hollywood, and a few other places. he took each of us up for about an hour; i was amazed at how smooth the flight was, too, in such a tiny plane. one of the highlights for me was seeing multi-million dollar mansions (literally some there were some that looked like versailles, or other european castles-it was crazy!) from the sky. i mean, i've seen some ritzy houses driving around in malibu and the hollywood hills, but none of them compared to these compounds that were all gated and could only seen from the sky. we also flew really low, since it was such a small plane, sometimes even as close as 45 feet above the water...

the plane, "lusky," he's just a little guy

camping without bugs.

did you know that you can go camping without the hassle of bugs!? it's called southern california, my friends. i know, revolutionary, and i sound like i'm doing a commercial for the state of california department of tourism, but seriously, this is the way to camp!

although acting continues to be on the slow side, fun random opportunities continue to make themselves available to me. last night i went beach camping with a few friends north of malibu at a place called point mugu. it was just off the pch (pacific coast highway that runs all the way up california's coast), right between gorgeous canyons/mountains and a rocky beach. we had perfect weather both yesterday and today, which made for a really pleasant trip! here are some pictures from the campout, if i get more exciting ones from friends, i'll definitely post them. but these are the beautiful views of and from the campsite as well as the campers (justin, holland, scotty, parker, and me):







and, for a little backtrack...i went to a memorial day party at my boss' ("the voice") house...here are a couple pictures from that fun event! me with rebel, kris manning the grill, and me lovin on his ferrari!





i have another fun outing tomorrow, that i'll post about later. and, hopefully more career news in coming posts...
