Happy Birthday to Nick Today!

So this week has been a ton of fun, working and kick'n some major ass. (Did I mention before that this blog is rated R?) So here was my week in a the Quick Recap

QUICK RECAP ~

Mon: Worked on a Photo shoot/ Commerical for Shop @ Home TV, the first gig that I have booked thru my agent. 12 hour day, tons of fun and I got hosed down! I should have some pictures soon. (...and Bree had her callback for 'Trailer Park Justice')

Tues: Worked a double day at the Daily Grill... made ok money and was totally poop'd when I got home... (Bree worked during the day and had rehearsal for '2nd Time Around')

Wend: Worked in the morning and shot "What A Great Idea", this really crazy film that I have been working on for 3 months now and I have no idea what the movie is about any more... (Bree worked during the day and had her gig at Warner Brothers, the staged reading of the pilot "2nd Time Around", which she said went good)

Thurs: Had more filming on "What A Great Idea" and then worked that night. (Bree spend the day rehearsing for 'Trailer Park Justice' with "Nasty" Brian Knobs)



Fri: I worked during the day, closed that day (so I had to stay till 4pm) and then hung out with my buddy Doug for his birthday and I got the Criterion Version of Robocop from him (which totally rules!). We went out to Claim Jumper, and I at what felt like a true TON of food... but wasn't really that much... It was very odd... and then we hung out with Bree till midnight (Bree filmed all day on 'Trailer Park Justice' - here is a photo of her on the set, I am not sure who these other two people are... I would think fellow cast members? This is a great and wonderful step that she has made and I am so proud of her and all of her hard work!)

Sat: Today - I filmed all day in Orange County (in the city of Orange, which looks alot like Woodstock) on a really cool and I am sure, very funny, student film. The Director's name is Ethan Cushing, and he, along with his crew, run a tight ship and the filming has been a blast... at first it was a little weird with the rehearsals, because Ethan over-explains himself, and for me, I dig "less is more" in directing - I like to hear something very simple: "I wanna see X" and then, I do X... but he is very cool and has some alot of really great ideas... it is just that I get them the first time he says them =) But I worked on that today and will be back at 7 am tomorrow for the final day of filming. And now I am updating my blog. (Bree spent the day sleeping in and napping until she had to head to work, which is where she is right now... and she needed the rest, she has been go-go-go for the past two weeks straight without a break and I was starting to get worried that she was going to get sick like I had been last week... but thank god she was only sick for about one day, and has mostly be tired, but I think she is back to her old self again!)

So I bought some webspace tonight too. So very soon you should be seeing jasonryanlovett.com coming to life - with more photos, sound clips and little movies then anyone would ever want of me! =) It should be nice - Jen is making it and I love what she did with Bree's and I cannot wait to see what comes of mine!

ALSO Today is Nick's BIG BIRTHDAY EXTRAVAGANZA! If you didn't call him or write him - what the crap are you waiting for... and as for news on Nick's week... he worked, and did things that I am not allowed to talk about right now... they are all DL still... (lady matters)

and as for Jabez, he slept, watched TV, pooped in the house, ate a few meals, nap'd, and chew'd up an old pumpkin toy. Big events for the big man!

Well, I need to finish updating my resume and working on things to send Jen for the website... and then I think I might watch a movie till Bree and Nick gets home...

Good Night you princes of... where ever you are ;)

Back from the great unknown

Wow... I am still not very good at keeping up with this thing... I let it slide like two days and it becomes three weeks it seems like over night =)

Anyhow, things here have been going really great and I am going to give ya the breakdown...

So Bree had two really cool auditions - one was for a staged reading of a pilot. For those that don't know, a pilot is what TV companys and independant producers make and they try to sell the show based on that one show (remember the Fox Force Five conversation from Pulp Fiction?) Anyhow, so she had this great audition and she got it - she has been working on it work a few weeks now and tomorrow is the big reading - The head of Comedy & Development for the WB, Execs from NBC & CBS, Dreamworks and Melissa Skoff casting are all going to be there! So this is big stuff! And then the second was for an improv show called "Trailer Park Justice"... Bree had two callbacks and landed that gig too! And not only is the show paying, but Huk Hogan and Stone Cold Steve Austin are going to be on the episode that Bree is in! And she has a huge part! So major congrats go out to my little lady this week.

As for Nick, he has been working like crazy and been spending a great deal of time with his own little lady (since they are kinda on the DL I am not going to go much into it, but lets just say, things are going rather well!)

Jabez has been spending a great deal of time sleeping and eating... he got a new bone a few days back and is back to playing with his pumpkin toy... tho it is almost Christmas time (he is a little bit behind the seasons)

And I have been working like a dog myself, working as many days a could since getting back from Chicago, I spent most of last week under the weather (and then had Bree sick for a few days) This week I am working/worked on a commercial for Shop @ Home TV, a full leangth film that I am wrap'n up work on (What a Great Idea), and two student shorts (The Lion in Winter and Beer Goggles)... and all of that while I am still working 5 days a week at the DG! I am nuts! Plus Bree and I, with our good friend Steve, are being the work of forming our own theatre out here in LA - theatre in LA sucks, and we are going to change it... so we are making our own... =) I am not sure what it is going to be called or what the plan is so far, but we are starting to work on all of that... (and Bree thinks we are starting to hit "a dry spell" ;P)

So things in the wild west have been really good and I cannot wait (nor can Bree) to come home for Christmas - that is going to be a blasty blast!

Well, I shall write again soon - and not three weeks from now =)
