WHITE SOX WIN!

Hey that is a good way to get us started as we have just come back to LA, to our home away from home... The Soxs just won the World Series, Nick is on his first LA date and Bree is at rehearsal for "The Lion in Winter" while I am at home on TeamSpeak with Steve (WhosInMyMouth), Jenn and Corey... (where did you go scott!?)

We got back yesterday from Chicago, as we were home for the Resurrection Mary premiere. We were home Thursday thru Tuesday and there was little time for rest or slowing down the whole time. We got to see our friends, our fam and the movie, so I would say that we got to do just about everything that I could have hoped to do. The ladies had time to go dress shopping while the men got to frag each other all day! Bree and I got to have dinner with my 'rents and with hers as well, tho not on the same night, we got to take 4 fun round trips to O'Haire, and traveled about 500+ miles by car this weekend and got to sleep a record of 12 hours in 5 days! It was a blasty blast! =)

The Premiere went great - all of our friends were there, 30+ people from Bree's Family, my Parents, and about 1,200 other people that we didn't know all to well. They all came through the rain and even tho the world series was going on IN Chicago! It was really great... I enjoyed the movie and felt it was better than my last outing in film (Boo! The Movie) tho I didn't get any great lines this time like "That's because any man who tries would get frostbite on his dick" or "I'll buy you a bearclaw" =) I loved Bree in it and I am so proud of her and all of her hardwork - her first film and she was so good and so hot! And all the hardwork and long nights that people put into the project really showed and it was very nice to see. Blood, cheap and not so cheap scares galor! I am still not sure what I thought of myself, but then again, I am not going to think about it too much - we are always our worst critics and even if/when I win an oscar I am still going to question how good I was in that role... that is just how I am. I like to think that I have been humbled at least a little bit, though I know I still have a long way to go in that department. I have gotten some good feedback about it, which was and is nice. As much as some people don't believe I like to hear what they really thought, of me, of Bree, or of the film, I really do because in the end it is the only way that we learn and grow. I am glad that people like the film, or liked us, or liked both. I am also glad for the honest ideas toward the film ~ Thank you Neil, I liked the LJ, I am not sure that I totally agree but I am glad that you were honest :D - I am also looking forward to getting that LNE disk from ya, or at the least the files. Overall I had a great time and feel like I got something really great out of Resurrection Mary - the memories, the things I learned and the film - thank you to everyone that came to see the movie and to all of those that wanted to but couldn't make it out... The DVD will be out soon (I think) and I will let you all know... and Michael, thank you so much for letting me be apart of Mary, I had a great time making the movie and a wonderful time watching it. Here's to next time. ...I am also looking forward to getting a poster for my hall... wink, wink.

So onto other things and back to the grindstone. I went back to work today and it was like I was never gone for what that is worth... the antena fell of my phone today too, so I will have a new one coming in the mail in the next few days... I have an audition for a movie (a fun comedy) on Saturday afternoon, and Bree has two auditions on Saturday ~ she always has to one up me =) ...I am also trying to get into Worlds of Warcraft with Steve, Jenn, Scott and Corey, which I should be able to get going on in another day or so... I am also going to be buying a website (which Jenn is going to build for me, because she is the coolest!) and that should be up before thanksgiving (money is a little tight right now, so it might be a week or so before I buy any internet land and then it takes time for Jenn to build it, I am not really sure how long that can take to build a site, since I have never done it before...

So things are going well in some ways and crappy in others... money, aslways is tight, where we live is starting to grate on us all... (we all hate the parking problems, the people we live around - mainly those that live next door to us, and the odd as hell traffic outside our front door), but other things like the ones listed above, are going great... life is getting into full swing here so it should be on the up and up really soon (I hope :P)

Miss you all to those I just got to see and to those I am not sure when I will get to see next. Email, post, phone or send a letter - I would love to know what is going on with everyone else and their supercool lives... Love and miss you all!

Till next time,
The J-man

Macbeth is No, but Sundance is A Go!

So, the 15th has come and gone, and Utah Shakespeare Festival said that they would let me know about Macbeth by that date and no later... so it seems that I am out of the running for that show, but that is okay because now Sundance 2006 gets the green light! I cannot wait! I had a great time last year, got to see some of the coolest movies, met the new James Bond, Daniel Craig and made some cool friends... so who know what is going to happen this year!

Sat:
I had an audition for a Bally Total Fitness commercial, which I thought went really good, other thant the fact that every other guy there reading for the part I was was my dad's age... I think my agent needs to really think about this stuff before just sending me out for no good reason, you know what I mean =)

Bree also had an audition for a short film (well, it would film over 14 days, so I am not sure how short the film really is) and it went great for her - they loved her and said would be getting ahold of her soon for a callback. And speaking of callbacks, she got one for the film she auditioned for out in Marina Del Ray, for the leading role, which is not what she went in for! Good for her!

That night I worked... nick also worked last night and Bree stayed home while our neighbourhood had some kind of crazy party...

And after work we went out to see Nick at City Walk and hit a flick - Domino (which I thought was super f'n good! So fun!) We saw it with Nick and Doug. Overall a good night! Also saw a ton of great previews and talked with Doug over the pilot we are going to filming in the coming month for the Indie TV fest that we are trying to get Till's Alley up and running for... Doug wants to make two shows - one called Crisis Management, which is a CSI:Miami/Without a Trace Action/Special Forces type show - and in the episiode (which would be the season closer) I play one of the leads who goes ape-shit! I is going to be great! And the other show is an Entourage type show called Flushing Gupies, which Bree would have a great leading role, so I hoping that we can get both of them made... I think there is one or two smaller roles for me in the second show too... I cannot remember... but overall really cool stuff going on right now...



Just days away from the Frist Screening of Resurrection Mary and I cannot wait to see everyone when I get home!
