Wow...

I've been so lazy. Lazy about a lot of things, but one of the biggest is keeping up with keeping up!

The point of this blog was to keep up with what was going on with me as an actress...so I guess you can see how things have been going, huh?

Somewhere along the way, I decided to take on regular work, which is the antithesis of being an arteeest, right? Well, I'm actually pretty happy about my decision because the regular 9-5 has allowed me to keep my head above water during this financial downturn.

It's not that I'm not still thinking about it though.

To be honest, I need to get out of my own way. Time ticks away everyday and the regrets just grow bigger and bigger and bigger. It's time to put it all out there, but this time not give up or start listening to all those voices telling me that it might not happen.

So, as things go along, this blog may become less about the trials and tribulations of me and my struggle in the industry and more about me and my struggle as an individual. Should be interesting, right?

Oh, and a huge shout out to my good friend and inspiration, Jason Rogel, who's new indie feature length film, Splinterheads, is showing at the Maui Film Festival!

It's been an awfully long ime sine I've updated my blog. Sad that I've let it go for so long. But once again, it's a new year and it's time for a change. I'm going to take a page from my brother's book and make an effort to be the best me I can be. And that means blogging regularly, right? I suppose so.

Of course I missed the regular calendar New Year, so Chinese New Year will have to do. And to celebrate, I'll be heading downtown to celebrate. The Lunar New Year Parade and Celebration.

I'm looking for a good time amongst the peeps. Happy New Year everyone!

And So It Begins...

I love my new pictures! I just had some printed up and the search for a new agent begins. Fun stuff. In the mean time, writing continues as does submitting myself for smaller projects.

I did have a great experience this past weekend. I took a Commercial Casting Director Intensive class at the Orange County Commercial Actor's Workshop with Mariko Ballentine. It was such a great experience and I feel I learned quite a lot and received a lot of useful feedback.

So with my new headshots in tow, we're off to the races!

New Headshots!

I had some pictures taken last week by the amazing Carolyn Ozimok. I can't tell you how happy I am with them. I liked almost all of them, but thought I would share my favorite four.

Let me know what you think...

The Landlord

Last night, Vonyse and I went to a screening of the 1970's movie, The Landlord. The movie was being presented by director John Singleton as a part of an AFI series.




Much to the audience's surprise and delight, Marki Bey, who played Laine in the movie, was in attendance. We spoke with her afterward and she was delightful and funny. It was an honor just to meet her.

Happy Lunar New Year!

Gung Hay Fat Choy, everyone! Tomorrow is the start of a new cycle in the Lunar Calendar...the Year of the Rat. As I was born under this Sign, I'm pretty excited about the promise this year holds. I'm not leaving it all up to mythology...I'm looking forward to challenging myself and putting in some hard work.

Here's to the New Year! Again!

2008!

Wow, another New Year's celebration has come and gone. 2007 was great, but I am certainly looking forward to even bigger challenges and rewards this year.

Here's to 2008!
