So I'm super-busy and can't stop to chat, but here's the update: I'm on avail for the beer commercial (YAY!) and am going to the Mark Taper Forum Reopening Gala tonight.
Yeah, Google that puppy.
WOOHOO!

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.

Well, GOSH! I'm just tired. I know it's been forever since I've blogged, sorry. I've been running around from one event to another, tutoring, and coughing up a lung - ended up with a touch of bronchitis or similar so I've been taking antibiotics, sleeping, and using an inhaler. Not in that order - the inhaler gets me a little wired, which is why I'm blogging at 2am. I need some rest though so this isn't going to be long.
Music improv - good. Friends - good. BBQ for friend going away on a boat for 5 months - good and sad. Premieres - VERY good. Bronchitis - bad. Auditions - slow, but I have one coming up, so yay! Tutoring - good but hard and a bit stressful. Other film/TV projects in the works - good.
That's it, that's all I've got. I'm going to bed. Hopefully there will be more exciting news next time.

So I'm feeling a wee bit better now, thank you very much. I didn't get as much sleep as I'd have liked last night so I spent a lot of the day exhausted. So I spent a lot of it dozing in bed. But I had the FABULOUS opportunity to help shoot some very funny webisodes this evening, and that was so much fun that I feel a million times better now. I have to wonder sometimes how much of my mood is dependent upon keeping busy, especially with things that I find fulfilling. I suspect it's huge for me. Okay, I KNOW it's huge for me, but I still forget sometimes.
I need to have people over so I force myself to clean my apartment. It's gotten pretty darned messy.
Tomorrow's fun: I get my teeth cleaned and may go see an improv show in the evening. Should leave me some time to work on my tutoring training stuff - gotta be solid by Friday. Eep.

Mom, this is your warning - you will NOT like this post. It's my blog, my personal expression, and I'm not entertaining arguments about language. You won't like the subject matter at all either. Love you, want you to be forewarned if you choose to read it.
FUCK YOU to all you goddamned asshole pet owners out there. You people who let your dogs run free to get hit by a car (wanna know how long she cried? It was LONG. Like 10 seconds of a horrible squeal and screaming in pain - I think maybe she got dragged?) in the middle of the night outside MY apartment. So I (and my fabulous neighbor Chad) ran outside, found her, and took turns running back inside to get stuff. Like a leash to catch her (because she's skittish and wouldn't come near me the past several nights I've seen her outside while walking Teddy) and a cell phone (to call animal control). Even though she's skittish, it was pretty easy to catch her, that broken leg or hip and all. So she cowered in the gutter while strange people talked to her and pet her and wrapped a leash around her neck and waited for animal control to come. Sweet dog, considering how frightened she must have been. If it's just a simple clean break she'll get the vet care she needs and wait for someone to claim her. If you don't figure out she's missing, maybe she'll be adopted, since the shelter just got their numbers back down to manageable levels last week. Of course, if it's a bad break or her back or something, she'll be put to sleep.
Oh, we'd have called you first if you'd had a collar on her. Or a microchip. Or something useful.
Go ahead, put up the "LOST DOG" posters. I'm dying to fill you in.
Asshole.

| I don't suppose anyone knows why I'm suddenly receiving Outdoor Life magazine in the mail??? I mean, it's nice to know that the mule deer uses its vision more than the whitetail, but....?????

So today was fun. Actually, yesterday was fun too so I should start there. Last night I went out to see my awesome neighbor's band The Lonely Wolves play their first gig at Whisky a Go Go. They rocked. It was fun. I wasn't sure what to expect from such a legendary venue - I was worried I'd be way underdressed, whatever - it was all kinds of relaxed. Lots of fun, actually, I rarely get out to see live music and I need to do it more often, obviously! Hung out with some Second City peeps at Boardner's afterwards (they had a show yesterday), went home, went to sleep.
So TODAY I went and had a nice lunch then went to see Batman: The Dark Knight with my buddy. GREAT film. It's long. I thought it was building a little slowly until I realized that a lot more movie was left than I'd thought. It's an epic. Really. They could've split it into two films easily. GREAT story, and no, people aren't completely crazy about the Oscar thing like I thought they must be (I mean come on, it's a BATMAN movie!) Heath Ledger is absolutely brilliant. Riveting. Electric. I had no idea. I'm going to have to go watch his other works now.
Hung out with my friend after the film for a little while then went to Amoeba Records for the first time (yes, as cool as people say, those "people" are smarter than I tend to give them credit for being), came home. Then I remembered I'd forgotten dog food and cat litter and I really couldn't put it off any longer, so I took Teddy to Petco. Now, I'm not sure what happened in the universe today, but Petco was THE place to be. Now, y'all know Teddy is not the most sociable dog with strangers, though he LOVES other dogs, so I'm never quite sure how trips out into public are going to go - and today the store was full of people. I have to say, my dog was awesome. He was sooo good and didn't cower or pull and he walked right with me as I pushed the cart and didn't growl at anyone who tried to pet him (though he did back away a bit) and was super-happy about the other dogs - he was sniffing at treats and listening to me and he didn't tuck his tail - he was just the best version of himself he could be. I was so proud. I think it's just been a while and he was happy to get out of the house, but whatever - it was fun. Which is good, 'cause we were there for FOREVER because it was so busy. And the people who were there today were so nice and friendly and patient and chatty - I don't think I've ever had such a pleasant, understanding group of people around my dog. Whoever says LA is a big unfriendly city isn't paying attention to all the evidence to the contrary.

So yeah, I should've gone to sleep a REALLY long time ago. But I didn't feel like it. I felt like watching some more West Wing and planning a massive set of headshot dropoffs. So I did. And I'm not done yet. But anyway, there's a reason I'm posting and that reason is Lee Garlington. Now THERE'S a woman with a fabulous IMDB page. And I'm watching her in an episode of West Wing and I'm trying to remember where I know her from, and I look on IMDB to try and figure it out and I realize it could be from a MILLION different TV appearances or well-known films... but no, I'm SURE it's something specific that I've seen over and over again, so I'm scrolling up and down through the list....
And then I see it. 1987 saw the birth of one of the finest movies ever made, and Ms. Garlington played the Gym Instructor.
I'm satisfied now. Back to the brilliance that is Aaron Sorkin... who, I'm sure, was a HUGE John Hughes fan.
(BTW, Shooter is worth seeing just for the creepy performance by Elias Koteas, whom I adore. Just sayin'.)

Hee! I was unsupervised this evening and ended up in a mall buying some (quite needed) new clothes and I picked up some underwear on sale. On the receipt they were listed as "DISCO PANTIES". I'm assuming that's short for "discount", but I like the abbreviation better. SOMEONE had a great sense of humor one day....
On another note, Aaron Sorkin is a fucking genius.
