What a Week!

So many things going on. First off let me give my respects to Michael Jackson, Farah Fawcett, and Ed McMann. I hope they truly are in a better place now. They each gave something to this world that cannot be re-created, and they will always be remembered.

Now to my busy exciting week. Andrew and I have been living in a studio since we moved out here to Cali, but have been feeling cramped, especially with two cats. We are currently paying $925 a month. Our apartment manager contacted us about a one bedroom that came available. They were originally asking for $1200 a month, which is not feasible at this time. When we talked to him again on Tuesday we told him we would pay $1050 a month., and guess what…we got it!!!!!!! It is sooooo much bigger and has pretty hardwood floors. Plus it is only two doors down so moving will be super fast and easy. I am so excited. We are moving first of July, happened so quickly.

I had two auditions this week. The first was for a stock photo shoot for a client from Japan. I had the initial audition which consisted of a lot of posing and smiling for the camera. I found out that if they choose me I will get paid $500 a day for the shoot and it will be a two to three day shoot! That would be more than I make in a month right now. I am not holding my breath because it is all based on looks, but the fact that I even got called in to audition is a compliment. They are holding call backs on July 7th…wish me luck!

My second audition was for an industrial film for a pharmaceutical company…nothing too exciting, but still an audition!

I will be in a short contest video for an Amazon.com contest on July 5th. I don’t get paid, but it will be great to finally get some time and experience in front of the camera.

I also had a casting director from actors access, a breakdown service, contact me about my vocals. He said they were great and gave me a contact number to someone else in the industry. This other man called me today and explained what he does. He has an extremely high reputation in the industry here, so he takes artists and packages them then sends that package out to hundreds of managers, agents, and casting directors. He said he is really picky who he works with because the industry trusts his opinions and they always respond to who he submits. I have to send him some video footage tonight and he said after he sees it he will be back in contact.

Things are finally really starting to happen for me. I am so excited.

Also, my sister is coming out for the weekend, can’t wait for some girl time with her.

Randomness this week: A man who was parked next to me yesterday told me when I got out of my car that I am his dream girl and that my eyes are incredible. It was very flattering, but a little odd.
