FIND THE FUNNY MONDAYS —

It’s a weekly post about finding the funny in something that might not otherwise be… funny.

About a month ago I started dating a guy (“G”). Not exactly my type, but potentially-interesting.  When I mentioned “G” to my dad, he was so happy that — Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve always been TOTALLY into

H a l l o w e e n | C o s t u m e s

Ever since I was “Bee” at three. But, I never realized until this year, just how much ACTING and HALLOWEEN have a lot in common.

I was enlightened by a pumpkin.

And it’s not just because they both involve costumes and getting sick to your stomach. Ahaha. Read the rest of this entry »

good-byes are hard

So my Twitter bud and fellow Actor @MikeCapozzi forwarded me devastating news about the demise of my favorite website Killthedoor.com.

You may remember that I did an entire post on how fabulous this Actor-friendly site “is” or now I should say “was”. It was like an inside source with casting news, inside info, great advice and resources for Actors yada yada. Apparently it was a little too inside and became a conflict of interests. Boo hoo!

So since, Killthedoor.com and @killthedoor have been ahem, “killed”, I’ve decided to share this little vid with everyone, to watch in absence of a memorial service (you can wear black when you watch it, if you want.) Read the rest of this entry »

the magic of believing

I was feeling a little blue this week until suddenly, after sixty-nine days underground, a super rad space-looking capsule lifted 33 smiling miners out of the ground, reminding me and the entire world that —

you can

As my parents’ anniversary approaches, I’m reminded of my brave Mom during what seems like forever ago. It’s a subject I’m not great about discussing, so I won’t right now. But it does make me think about COURAGE and how we don’t really know if we have it until we need it (no matter how well we think we know ourselves).

The Heroes Among Us —

This week three courageous heroes came into my consciousness.

In the L.A. Times this week I read an inspirational article about Iron Man competitor Clayton Treska who is battling Read the rest of this entry »

feel-good sounds

I was reminded the other day when I was tweeting @MikeCapozzi that the reason I love doing COMEDY is because I know if it’s working or not. No need to wait for feedback from the Casting Director. It becomes obvious. Like immediately.

Because in Comedy Auditions, you either get the laugh or you don’t. Even if the CD and producers have heard the line a million times before, if you deliver it right, they can’t hold the laugh in. And, the good thing about knowing is —  if it’s not working —  you can sometimes make quick adjustments and pull it out in time. Read the rest of this entry »

#1 = Itchi

The Holidays are just around the corner — I’m not joking.
And birthdays keep showing up every year– LOTS of them!
It’s hard to be thoughtful and frugal at the same time —
