FIND THE FUNNY MONDAYS —

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

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 starts out like a typical ER Saturday Afternoon Shift

• nightmare waiting room
• all beds are filled
• labs are piling up

In Trauma, Bed 8, this pretty New York Model (you know I can’t say who) is really having a tough time of it. She’s been there for 14 hours with what she thinks is Acid Reflux (because she can’t keep anything down, not even a sip of water). She’s all nervous, because she’s got a wardrobe fitting scheduled in a few hours for a huge commercial, due to shoot Monday. Read the rest of this entry »

Identity Crisis

Yesterday  when I was walking back to my car from the two hour spin/pilates portion of my day, a Hollywood tour bus passed me and the guide said into the microphone: Read the rest of this entry »

Why do we feel safe with KNOWNS when there’s often greater possibility with UNKNOWNS?
