Video Games, California and MOVIES!
In regards to my last video blog, I am proud to announce that I was cast in the indie film that I auditioned for! The character’s name is Lynea, and she shoots her boyfriend and kills him and then turns the gun on herself. I CANNOT wait to get that up! We shoot the weekend of the 17th of May and I hopefully will get my copies in June.
I am stoked, a little while ago I got a Playstation 2 and I have karaoke revolution on it. The songs my vocal coach has me work on are on the game so I get a bonus opportunity to study the songs-it helps especially with timing and breathing.
As soon as I find a replacement in my house, I’m packing up my stuff in my car and hitting the road. I’m currently looking for a room in the Alameda, CA area. CRAZY!
Fasting was rough. It lasted 3 LOOOOOONG days. I wanted to go for 21, but everything has to be right if I do that. I worked out too much during my fast instead of taking it easy and I almost hit the floor when walking through the mall in Oakland after 5 miles of roller blading. On the positive side I felt absolutely outstanding the next day. On the negative side, I went all of April without consuming any soda of any kind, avoiding meat and dairy and chemicals–but after the fast I found myself over-consuming all of the above. It’s possible I need a support system!
Last friday I performed at a Recognition Event for a hospital in Springfield, Oregon. The theme was the Wizard of Oz so they hired four actors (including myself) to perform as greeters, speakers, and general company. It was a TON of fun! The following are photos from the event.

The venue full of 2,000 hospital employees during the presentation:
It was so great, people approached me and said in awe, “You look JUST LIKE Dorothy!” of course, I had the be in character 100% of the time so I said, “I am Dorothy!” People also said, “You look so cute!” My response was, “Thank you, Auntie Em did my hair today!”
I have my agent Damon Jones to thank for referring me for that gig, it was a ton of fun and the event company even approached us with other possible character opportunities in the future because we did so well. ::sigh:: This kind of thing is was life is all about 
(for some of us !)
