Wasted reminder to myself via Danny Coyle's loo

There's something about Bernard Black.

i mean, look at it!

Yeeeeeessss.

and that is why i stumble to my knees

What a day. Up at 6, a ride to the airport in a fancy towncar (courtesy of Ariadne who was going to the airport for a trip to Seattle), fly to LA, meet Stephanie and Tony (who were so lovely by guiding me through a crazy schedule in an unfamiliar place) a session unlike anything I've ever done- definitely the most challenging so far- a pick up and drop off at LAX again. Fly back to San Francisco. Catch the Super Shuttle. Get to The Warfield by 8:30! Drink a delicious beer, probably the best one I've tasted in awhile, and watch and sing with one of my most favorite bands in the WHOLE WIDE world!!!
This is a day that I will not forget. One of the best days.

A Crowded House

I made it! A whirlwind day, seeing great friends, doing the job I love most, and finishing it up with Crowded House at The Warfield. My voice is shot, (not that it will stop me from singing) but there's a bright full moon out & I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

extreme voice acting

So exhilarated, so exhausted, so happy, & soo ready for a nap. Being possessed, electrocuted, vaporized & oh yea, having my throat slashed by aliens takes a lot out of a person. What a day!

a $60 Burger. wtf!

I had never been to such a casual-ish restaurant with such an extravagant display of meat before. Kobe beef and Foie Gras? Hot damn.
I did not eat this burger. I was actually quite shocked by its opulence and countless fat content. Burger Bar was super good though, & maybe someday when I have $60 to spare on one meal item and feel like maybe I need to eat a shitload of fattiness, I'll try this burger. Perhaps I will invite you to eat some ostentatious meatfat with me. The place is rad though, and it was a lovely day to look out on a sunny Union Square with a lifelong, super rad friend.

stuck in the middle of the "greening"

seems to me we could use a lot more green around this city. there's plenty of "manure" on the sidewalks of the TL to do some serious fertilizing :)

just cuz it's wrapped in bacon doesn't mean you should eat it

But if ya pull it, it's a whole other deal.

Prelude to a brilliant surprise

When I took this photo of my dirty ass Vans on Muni I had no idea of the happiness that would arrive in my inbox in a few short hours. I found out that I booked my *FIRST* L.A. job! All I'll say is that it's a video game, and I ain't playin no Kid! It's a huge moment for me; I haven't been down to Los Angeles since I graduated from The American Academy of Dramatic Arts in 1994. Lots has changed, but I'm sure lots is the same. I'm still pretty floored. I really hope things are on the up and up from this point on. I'm so thankful!!
P.S. I was totally wearing my Monkey socks which have *totally* proven over & over that they are for reals totally good luck.
I love this feeling!!!!

Let's Play!! (put away those cigarettes)

I had a call back at LeapFrog today, playing the character I didn't think I did very well with, so that was a very cool surprise. It was warm and sunny across the Bay and I got to sing too! Such a lift, such a fantastic way to end a long week fueled by cold medicine, kleenex and a voice that more closely resembled Kathleen Turner. As a voice actor who doesn't book based on a deep, womanly sound, it was a little stressful. I'm so happy to be back to myself again, doing what I love... very thankful for my health and the things I'm capable of doing when I feel my best. Don't forget to play!!!
