Julie's Completely Random Stream-of-Consciousness Blog
|
So I keep BEGINNING blog entries and then trashing them 'cause I get bored or decide that I'm boring. We'll see if this one gets finished. 
I went to my first hockey game tonight! It was GREAT! What a fantastic sport! I'm going to have to go see another game, get a favorite team, etc. I can't see myself as a diehard fan per se, but it's definitely a fun way to spend an evening. And the Staples Center is fantastic! It wasn't crowded, they have everything from nachos to CPK to sushi, just a really good time. And nice people! And a FUN FUN FUN sport!
Went out afterwards to get some dessert for the birthday boy. I might just recommend NOT eating cream of mushroom soup after tiramisu though. I have a strong stomach overall, but not that strong.
Anyway, it was a really wonderful evening. Nice conversation with new people (new people! Wow! I'm still really shy with groups of new people, but I'm getting lots of practice and it's turning out not to be so bad!) and old friends and fun entertainment and NACHOS! 
So what else - in acting news, it looks like I'll be doing a little medical industrial soon, which should be fun. And lucky me, I'm now in the Cricket Feet Showcase on November 5th and 6th! Details at www.cricketfeetshowcase.com. It's really going to be a great show, if you can make it please RSVP and come have a good time with us!
Off to take my antibiotics (which make my stomach queasy, yay) and go to bed. Thankfully I've had a pretty gentle schedule the past couple of days so I've been able to get some rest to try and shake off this bout of bronchitis or whatever. I'm so glad I didn't get sick enough to have to stay in bed and miss these fun events but I still plan on taking it easy for a few days and get HEALTHY. Or at least stop wheezing. That's the worst. |

Sometimes lights on a hill are just lights on a hill....
I'm now on the year-long waiting list for a plot at the local community garden.
Good thai food is still fantastic.
Friends are cool.
Tutoring is a bit of a challenge - high school kids and scheduling don't go together.
OH! And I'm going to be doing the Cricket Feet Showcase in November! One of the actresses had to drop out for personal reasons so now I get to do a scene with the FABULOUS Eitan Lowenstein and I'm super-excited. It's such a good time, Chil Kong is a fantastic director, such a nice group of people and a really funny scene - GREAT times! Think good "theatrical agent" vibes for me! |

So we have wildfires here. And I can officially see one of them (the Marek fire, for those of you playing along) from my house. Okay, so I don't live in a house, but a small apartment building that greatly resembles a Motel 6 and from the walkway in front of my apartment, if I go over to the corner where my awesome Aussie neighbor David smokes and look north, I can see a bit of fire atop a mountain.
A wee bit of deja vu going on.
Anyway, despite the occasional wildfire or earthquake, you gotta love LA. I got thai food a mile from my house after 11pm for less than $10. Fantastic city.
In other news, my friend Cindy is coming to stay with me for a few days, hooray! There's only a couple problems with this. One, I have to work a bit while she's here. Two, and WAY more annoying - I have to clean. Sigh. I think I'll go to bed and read a book and take care of some more of it tomorrow....

I have one heck of a headache so I'm feeling really brain-dead. Enough so that I'm thinking of just going to bed, and it's only just past 9pm. Except I have laundry that needs to go into the dryer, so we all know I'll be up as late as usual.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!
Today I did some tutoring stuff and then dropped by the most fantastic place - a local community garden. Turns out they're at the same facility as a native plant garden and the local native plant society was putting on a plant sale. Sadly, I have no garden. Happily, they also had Asian-style chicken (their description, not mine), real lemonade, and homemade ginger snaps. That set me back a whopping $4, and I ate it while sitting at a picnic table in a garden while bird-watching. Fantastic. I'm going to try and get a plot in this community garden - it's big, beautiful, very peaceful, cheap, and convenient to my house - and here's the amazing part - run by the LA Dept of Parks and Rec. And people say there's nothing good about LA!
Then I went in search of boots. They didn't have them. The second store didn't have them either. I did buy a pair of casual-ish cute low heels at a third store, and then I went to Nordstrom's just to LOOK at bras, maybe pick up one.
Two bras and ONE HUNDRED THIRTY SOMETHING DOLLARS later I escaped and came home to nurse my headache. And I check my horoscope:
"You could be eager to spend a little money today, but you really should try not to spend anything more than you absolutely have to at this time."
Duh.
Tomorrow - Music Improv starts up again, hooray! I need to figure out how to kick-start my acting stuff. I'm spending too much energy on the tutoring, not enough on the audition-hunting. Hmmm. I'm going to an open call at Universal next week as well as an orientation for an on-camera class so that will help me feel a bit more on-the-ball but there's a lot more I need to be doing. I just have to decide WHAT. |

You know when you get a new toy and you don't know how to do anything with it and you're a little afraid to push all the buttons, but one day you get fed up and you push the button and all your problems are solved?
I just figured out how to turn off the touchpad on my laptop and I'm SO THRILLED. I've been having issues accidentally deleting what I'd written, navigating away from long emails and losing everything I'd done so far, etc. Not fun. NO MORE!
So anyway, today was fun, just a whole odd mix of things. I had an audition for the new show Easy Money in the morning, then spent the ENTIRE afternoon at the mechanic's fixing things on my car. So Friday I find out that my taillight's burnt out, Saturday my check engine light comes on, and since my car hasn't had AC all summer and is due for an inspection next month (which it can't pass with the engine light on), I figured I should take it in. So I did. And they fixed everything, charged me a not-insignificant amount of money, fed me homemade Armenian food, introduced me to some of the canaries (there's 15 in there right now) and generally showed me a pretty darn good time for a day at the mechanic's. The evening was spent doing support stuff for tutoring (when they say a lesson report takes 15 minutes, they're USUALLY being optimistic), cooking, and goofing off online.
More about the audition - the role was for a spoiled, self-entitled rich girl who's kind of snotty, so that was fun. Required a lot of makeup and hair and some fake nails (partly suggested by the script, partly for my own process) and some prep (yes, I still wasn't word-perfect in the audition darn it - nerves!) but it went well - I had fun, I have no idea if it was too big or too fast or whatever, but I did it and we'll just see. I need more of those auditions! I was really excited to get into this office - I'd recently met the assistant in a workshop and I have no idea whether that played any factor in getting me the audition, but I think my manager worked hard to get me in there too so hey, it all came together! Really pleasant office too - it's in a small house and it really made me realize how much I'd like to have my own little craftsman someday soon - just such a neat feel to the space. And SUPER-nice CD!
Oh! Other things going on lately - my music improv class/group Improperetta is getting REALLY good! Sure we've got a lot to learn still, but people have given us some serious compliments lately, and they've probably been deserved. People have enjoyed it more than seriously mega-professional theater productions in town as well as saying they'd happily pay a decent chunk of money to see us - which is nice to hear when you're FREE. Check out our MySpace page at www.myspace.com/improperetta for show dates! |

My pirate name is:
Red Jenny Bonney 
Passion is a big part of your life, which makes sense for a pirate. You can be a little bit unpredictable, but a pirate's life is far from full of certainties, so that fits in pretty well. Arr! Get your own pirate name from piratequiz.com.part of the fidius.org network

So I'm sick. And I don't like it. I woke up sick yesterday and I'm still sick today. I've not heard anything about the commercial I'm on avail for - it shoots this coming weekend so I would've GUESSED I would've heard by now if I'd gotten it, I'll see if I can find out anything else tomorrow. Who knows.
Not a lot to report really. I spent all day today lying around in bed so that doesn't make much news. My new headshots should be ready for me to pick up at ISGO so that'll be fun - mailings and dropoffs galore! Yay! |

Okay, so blogging obviously hasn't been on my radar lately.
What has? I've been tutoring (which is going great with a couple exceptions), doing classes at Second City (of course), and doing a few auditions here and there, hooray! It's been a slow summer so it's been nice to have a couple commercial auditions pop up in the last couple weeks. Especially since I have a callback for one today. YAY!
Also, I just found out that a film I'm in, Broken Windows, is going to be premiering at the San Diego Film Festival on September 26th! Hooray!
So my heart's not in the blogging thing, I've got too many distractions and obligations and a cat trying to lie on my hands so I'm going to keep this short. I'll try and get back into the swing of things soon. |
