Well, believe it or not I have little to say today as I am feeling... ick! We'll leave it at that.
However, a huge congrats to Working Bug Productions for being selected as Independent Webisode Finalists by the Producers Guild of America for the Producers Challenge! Woo-hoo! Episode One of Road to the Altar, entitled "The Wedding Planner" (guest starring myself!) will screen tonight at Fox Studios alongside other finalists including Horrible People, True Blood, and Heroes. Yay! So looking forward to it!
Would also like to send huge congratulations out to my wonderful, talented, very good friend Jen Nikolaisen who is shooting a commercial for Aviva Life Insurance today! GO JEN!!
And thank you so much to my wonderful students for a great last day of class, not to mention a generous gift! I will miss you until July 6th!
And I would be remiss not to say good-bye to my second favorite Golden Girl, Rue McClanahan. You were so lovely and loved and will always be fondly remembered for your fearless talent! Indeed, thank you for being a friend.
Surprise #1: The wonderful, supportive, actress-obsessed blogger, Haren Yong, who is also the Web Features Editor for Youth Entertainment Portal Klik.TV, posted a lovely blog he wrote about me! Thanks Haren!
Surprise #2: The Ferrari left us today. I was so unprepared! It wasn't supposed to be picked up until the 17th. Phil suggested I park my car in the empty garage now, but I said, "Not yet. It's too soon." You will be missed 355!
Surprise #3: A lovely lunch with great friend and actress Jen Nikolaisen at Cheebo on Sunset was interrupted when I found a hair in my salad. Not a huge deal, until our misogynistic waiter who kept calling me "lady" insinuated that I put it there and he wasn't doing anything about it. Um, what? Right before I asked to speak to the manager, he tore up the check and told us we didn't have to pay anything. Wow.
Surprise #4: I have won £1,350,000.00. Pounds. I just have to send all my sensitive information to this really unique email address for more information. Great! Irish19@btinternet.com must be a huge fan.
Happy Friday everyone!!!
On a day when LA holds its breath, waiting to hear "And the Oscar goes to...," I, very much unlike an actress, spent the day tucked away in my office doing my taxes. I'm holding my breath wait to find out "And the refund goes to..!" But one biz-related bright point of this calculating, headachey day happened when I took a break to run to Blockbuster. There on the wall of new releases in the "B" section, I found two of my friends! Jen Nikolaisen starring in Bundy: An American Icon, alongside Corin Nemec. She plays Stephanie, the girlfriend of the famous serial killer. Go Jen! Then just to the left a bit, I saw America Olivo starring in Bitch Slap alongside Erin Cummings (another friend and amazing actress!) and Julia Voth. America plays the kick-ass Camero, willing to stop at nothing to steal 200 million in diamonds from an underworld kingpin. YAY for friends kicking ass in this crazy business! Made my Oscar weekend. That, and the fact that I don't have to add up receipts again for another 12 months or so.
