Another Brick in the Wall... Part... uh...

Friday Aug 19th:

~ Bree had to work today, so I took her in the morning and then ran to get the Baby Kia's oil changed. This took almost an hour and I had many other things that I wanted to get done with that day... so I ran over to the Apple Store and got my iPod fixed for the 3rd time in two months. The Apple Genius there said I should by a Lotto ticket because in two months I have had three iPods die because of a hard drive failure... and only one in like 100,000 has this problem - so he said it was very funny that I got three in a two month span of time... I didn't think having to come back to the Apple store for work on my iPod this many times was as funny, but I do see his point =)

Anyhow, I got it fixed and picked up some software for help with our work. iWork '05 and iLife '05... iLife has a program on it that Bree needs to do voice-overs for MAN Marketing back in Chicago, and some other funn little things... and iWork is to help us do really nice resumes and cover letters and such... if I could get the FREAK'N THING TO WORK! I have been on the phone with Apple now two days in a row trying to get it up and running... so we shall see...

...So later that afternoon, I got Bree from work, we went and got my new headshots picked up form ISGO (which I love by the way) and then we headed out for the show. Friday we played to an almost full house! Which was really great... I learned a hold host of new things about the character last night, and while I felt kind bad about the job I did, Steven (The dir.), as well as Bree and Nick, thought that the show and I were still great... I am glad though, because last night I was feeling like I didn't want to do the play anymore, and I now I am excited to dive into this new depth... That my mean nothing to anyone else, but to me it is part of "the fix" I get from acting, finding the depth and the darkness of the character and how to fight from that place and move into the light... (blah blah blah ;P)

Sat Aug 20th:

So this morning I woke and ran out to Long Beach for a short film audition... which I think went rather well. I had to do a monolouge, which I haven't had to do here in LA more than twice... so I used my old standard - my "Cow's" speech (from 'Hidden in this Picture') ...they didn't seem to find it too funny, or if they did, they sure didn't let me know that. After that I took to the long traffic-filled trip back home and spent more quality time on the phone with Apple Support, but they got my programs working this time! Yeah for that! (I was writing the 1st part of this while I was on hold!)

And now we are off, Bree had an audition for a Monster.com Spec Ad this morning and she has an audition for a TV show I believe this afternoon and then myself, Bree and Nick are going to go out and get some dinner in Santa Monica before the show tonight... One more weekend of shows after this one is over...

So until later!

(Oh yeah, this photo is my new headshot, what do you think?)

....some day I am going to get this...

Well, I haven't been on here for a few, but I am back... so here is a shorty update...

~ Been working a ton - making some ok money @ the Daily Grill.

~ My parents came out to see and and we had a wonderful time with them! I miss them tons, and I wish that they could have stayed longer, and that I would have had more time off to see them. We went to a ton of fun places like Hollywood and got to see Willy Wonka! It was cool!

~ The show is in its last two weekends and then we are going to be done with it for a little while... maybe move it to Hollywood or move on and do something else... we shall see.

Yesterday:

Bree and I worked in the morning and then went out to Mission Viajo (I hope I spelled that right) so she could audition for a film. The audition went really super and I cannot wait to hear back about if she got it or not. Then we came back home and hung out with Nick. It sounds like his pod (which he filled with all of his moving stuff) got messed up in-transit - so we shall see if we are going to get it this weekend or not... who knows...

Today and then some:

Had my new headshots taken, and they look wonderful. I had a meeting with my agent on Monday and she thought that they were super cool and will be up on the web soon... I get them back from the printers tomorrow! I worked today and Bree is filming a gig for a late night talk show called "The Comeback Show" which is produced by a producer for MTV, though I don't it is going to be on MTV.

Tonight we have the show. So far, Bryan, Jake, Kelly, Nick, Matt (my friend from work) and my Parents have seen it... Corey And Beth saw it before we were in it... I hope that we have some large houses this weekend, because they are always the most fun.

I am filming tomorrow - or so I think - for this film that Bree and I have been working on together... and I start my new acting class on Monday night, which I cannot wait to get started on! I have a cool audition for a short this weekend and I am trying to get some other projects that I have been working on off the ground all at the same time.

- As a side note, Bree and I went to see "Hustle and Flow" which was one of the very best movies that I have seen since Sundance (It was at Sundance this year, but I didn't get to see it...)

This morning/afternoon I worked again... it was a slow day at work but I made some really good money, so I was very happy.

... Well, I must be off to the show, and I promise that I won't be gone again so long... I have some fun, new things that I am working on... My Sundance and LA short doc and my 1st rough draft for Document (yes scott, pages are on their way to soon sir) SO that, along with a new, list of goals (which I am going to post next time) I have alot up my sleeve =)

...Much Love to you all!
