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!!!

the porn way

i spelled my name with 2 k's, a.k.a. "the porn way"... how lucky would i be: it's already there!

it's a beauty

I'm helping out my friend lovely Ameena with my Virgo style organizational skills. She and her super rad painter husband Kris live in a place with an amazing view.... what a treat! Organizing paperwork, drinking tea and talking about all sorts of crazy shit. A day that started out rough but finished wonderfully. Things aren't always as they appear, and this is a lesson I still need to learn. I'm thankful for the turnaround I made today, happy to know that as shitty as things start, they can finish a whole heckuvalot better.
