Snow falls on a nearly finished movie...

Since Nov 17th... Wow... I thought that I was going to get much better at this that I have been already. Guess not...

Well, the short and sweet of it is, work and work... I have filmed one more day on the movie and tomorrow is the final day of filming and then...all done - we have been working on it since Sept and I am glad to be done... just so I can see what it looks like and all, not because I don't want to work with my pals anymore.

Thanksgiving was very nice - I got to see my fam and I had to work (suprise suprise), which was okay... I have Thursday off this week and so I am going to do a fun day-by-day then... For now I must run off into the snow!

Still in the shire

...I have 63 days left in McHenry... maybe less (launch date Jan 18th?) - I still haven't heard from Sundance yet, and I really don't think that they are going to take me, but who knows...I put my stuff in with the names that Cola told me to put and we shall see if anything comes of it, or not... I don't think that I will get the chance to go this year - maybe next year... either way I only have about two months left in McHenry before my big move to LA

...What have I been doing with all of my time you ask? Well, I have been working on "Resurrection Mary" which is an indie film here in the Chicago-area produced by Cooked Goose Productions and directed (as well as written) by my buddy Mike Lansu, with myself, Bree, Michael Wollner... and even his wife, who is a buddy of mine. I also spent the summer playing the title role in Macbeth, as well as worked on The Tempest for about two weeks with Talsiman Theatre... I was working as a glass truck driver (for Mark Industries), until they let me go because they were running out of work for everyone and I was the new guy... and we all know what happens to the low man... but I am now working @ Haystack's (which is owned and run by my friend Dave and Nick Christiansen is the Ex. Chef there) as the bartender... every good actor had to have that bartending gig at one point, and I am also working at Circuit City selling big screens for Christmas... mainly just till I leave.

...I have also been hanging with my lady friend Bree... alot! And that has been and is very fun, and different than what I have had in the past... never lived with someone before... spending time with Nick, Scott and Kelly alot and I am somewhat still working on "Document", my screenplay, though I haven't really done much with that at all in quite some time... which I really need to get back to working on... I have been programming my iPod, and that is almost done (finally) as well as packing all of my sh*t for LA, and playing a host of video games (GTA:SA, Smackdown Vs. Raw, and LoTR: 3rd Age w. Bree!)

...So I have been busy... =P

I am planing on updating this every week (like every monday or something) with a little week in review of all the cool or not so cool things that I have gotten to do... a countdown to my leaving and then when I am gone what I am up to in LA... That way, anyone who wants to know what I am up to, can and will and they can get ahold of me as they like =)

Much Love and Best Fishes!
