Another day, another... day? =P

So here is a recap of the past week.

Mon:
Bree and I worked, then I went to class (David Kagen's School of Film Acting) and Bree hung out with our buddies - Zirky and Connor.

Nick worked and hung out with us... when I got home from class, which was fun, tho there was only four people there... including me, we watched RAW - which was great! I still love Triple H - he is, and will always be, the man!

Class is always something else - we work in close-ups for film and it is really hard to explain, but I feel like I am doing some really wonderful things in class that is bring me up to new heights with my understanding of acting, and makes me want to talk about it and try to explain it even less... I just love it for what it is.

Tues:
Bree and I worked, and then bree had an audition that afternoon for Sharp Copiers... and we also went looking at new places to live around the area... we found two nice new places...

Nick had the day off... I think this is when he went golfing with Uncle Steve.

Wens:
Worked again... Nick had the day off... then I had an audition that night for a pilot staged reading, which Bree has already been cast in. I thought that it went really good, but I have not yet heard back from them, and I was way to yound for the role... or so I think.

We came home and played RAW and also went to the gym

Thurs:
Bree had to work in the morning and I had the day off, and Nick had to work. We took Jabez to the doggie spa for the day and we ran around, did some shopping and got some lunch at the Cheesecake Factory, which is one of my favorite places on earth to eat! We got Bree a bluetooth headset for her phone, which she loves and wears ALL THE TIME! =P Then we came home and Bree slept while I played video games on my day off... we topped the day off with some fun gym time and yoga! All in all it was a good day! ...and we played RAW with Nick when he got home.

This is one of my favorite things to do right now, and I am very proud that I have turned both Bree and Nick into gamers in this way - they both love playing RAW to end the night - every night... and they both get on me if we don't play, which is very funny - they are now die-hard gamers and I am not sure they know it! HA HA HA!!!

Fri: Today

Bree and I had to work, as did Nick, and Jabez got to sleep the day away. Bree and I were both on the floor today - she serves once or twice a week and the rest of the week is a manager and runs the door... Today was a little slow at work and the money wasn't as good as it normally is, but hey, they cannot all be winners.

After work we headed home, I answered some emails from friends about the movie and other fun things and then we headed to dinner and to do some shopping. We went to a place called The Yard House, which is a draft beer place - good food and great beer, which I seem to love since we moved to LA, and I was never really into beer before...

I also got a call from my agent - got an audition for a Bally Total Fitness Spot - non-union, I have the audition tomorrow, it is for the host - and pays really good, so please say a little prayer for me.

And a big one for Bree because she had 4 auditions this weekend - and I believe that they are all for films... one might be a commercial spot, but the others are films... I think =) Either way - say a big prayer for her! We want her to get as many as she can!

...and as of right now, Nick is still at work, should be home soon...

5 more days and then I will be walking the streets of McHenry for a short time again. It is going to be a blasty blast! I cannot wait... I love LA so much, but I also miss home and I am sure that the 5 days that I am there are going to be just long enough to give me a recharge and then I am going to want to come home to LA. And that is really funny to me that I call this place home and I don't call McHenry home... but Bree never calls LA home... she cannot wait to be back either.

We hope to see lots of fun faces while we are back and I hope that as many of you can will make it out to see the movie - It is going to be a SUPER COOL time had by all - I am sure!



I got this great picture - a nice black and white still that Michael is using for the t-shirts, so I thought I would give you all a look see. Check out the trailers, if you haven't already, on Resurrectionmary-movie.com (or use the link in my sidebar)

Also, I am going to be linking up my friendster account here in the next couple of days - so drop on by and sign-up, should be fun! =)

Miss ya and remember -

Best fishes!

Workin like a dog

That is if dogs worked at restaurants... anyhow, I have been working many long and hard hours, many shifts and a ton of doubles which is great for the money and not so great for about anything else. But I have been working on acting stuff too - I have had a few auditions in the last two weeks and I have another tomorrow. I also was on "According to Jim" this week. For those that don't know, I am friends with one of the main prop men and he got me on the show - while the part again is non-speaking, they really liked me alot and want me to comeback again very soon - which means I could be on my way to getting into the union... or not still =) who knows, right? But it was a blast and here is a picture of me on the set of "According to Jim" - I got to meet and talk Chicago with Jim himself, Steve introduced us. He was a very nice guy, outgoing and really fun to talk to. It was a great time overall.

So - how many of you have gotten your tickets for Resurrection Mary!? Do that ASAP - and I don't want to hear "But I live to far away" or "I'm going out of town"... come on now, I live out of town and 2,000+ miles away and I am going to be there, so you either need to be dead, have someone who is very close to you who is, or be on the space station (and none of you are last time I checked, only that Russian dude) I really want everyone I know to be there and see it with me for the first time, we all put alot of hard work into this film and I just know that it is going to be great! And I want to see my friends and since I don't have tons of money to come back all the time or time when I do come home, I figure this is a greta way for us to all get together and party!

Bree has also been going out for alot of stuff lately, she had a film audition in Marina Del Ray yesterday and a few good ones last week as well. She too has been working just way to hard at the DG, as we like to call it. In the coming weeks are going to be working on getting a theatrical agent for the both of us as well as working the management and casting director angle... so we shall see how that goes.

and go see "Waiting" - we saw it the other night, and besides having Dane Cook in it, which makes a movie gold to me for the start, it was the funniest movie for anyone who has or has friends that have worked in a restaurant and since you all know me, Bree and Nick, you should love it - Dane makes me think of Nick so much! Trust me and go, run and see it now!

Well, 13 days till I am back in the midwest, side-by-side with Bree, and we will be hanging out with the whole gang! Cannot wait. We shall see you really soon!

Much love ~
