Day 95 VLOG CLICK HERE!
Had auditions for Well Played to create a new roommate for the household. Saw several able actors including my fellow real life roommate Wesam Keesh. It would only make sense to sign him on and then the show really would be art imitating life. We'll know soon enough how he did.
Afterwards Stan, the creator of Well Played, Jonte and myself had lunch and talked about the future of Well Played involving future episodes, character arcs, production and writing.
And good news! I received my state refund check today which goes right back into the hands of my insurance agent for my bike. Damn! At least I got to smell the check before it disappeared.
Until tomorrow!

Day 93 - Busy Work, Staying Positive and Back in LA
Day 93 VLOG CLICK HERE!
I can across an article that resonated with me and this very blog. To summarize, it said don't do things in name of furthering your career that are merely busy work. Like this blog sometimes, it seems to be merely busy work. It takes more time to write and edit than anything I did in the name of my career during the day. I need to take greater, more efficient action per every few days because sometimes there really is nothing you can do but wait.
That leads me to another article in the same email about staying positive and maintaining that positivity. It's hard when you don't have an audition, call back or booking for some time. But staying positive is essential. Until I'm playing a bitter, washed out has been then sure! Let the negativity seep right in!
And YES we are back in LA! Hitting the ground running!

Day 92 - Aprils Fools Day, The First Floor, and The Hunger Games
Day 92 VLOG CLICK HERE!
Renovating house you need power tools. Of course I'm going to pull the ole "I cut my finger off with the power saw!" gag. And everyone came running. Rachel was the first to grab her purse to head out to door to visit the emergency room. She was also the first to shun me when I asked where the nearest April Fool's hospital was located. I was applauded for my believability and commitment. The ketchup packet I found in the dumpster came in handy.
The first floor is almost complete and ready to be transformed by new bamboo flooring. Spent the day removing the old kitchen wood, pulling loose screws and staples and sweeping everywhere. So much dust!!
And I finished Silence of the Lambs on my way back from the house. They changed the ending slightly from the book with the movie but it did play better. We stopped to pick up The Muppets on Bluray and I purchased the first installment of The Hunger Games. I've already read the first 24 pages and I'm hooked. I'm already a fan after chapter one! The movie made over $250 million this weekend so its a pretty good indication the story is something of note.

Day 91 - Lottery Dreams, More Floor and Forever Plaid 1992
Day 91 VLOG CLICK HERE!
Had dreams all night about what I would do if I had won the $650 million but I awoke to a world the same way I left it. Obviously I would quit my day job but starting my own production company would be my first on the list. It makes it easier to cast myself.
Tore up more of the floor and the girls painted the walls. Kitchen wood is next!
Rachel looks badass with her goggles, mask and hooters shirt.

I also watched some Forever Plaid videos on YouTube to get a sense of what Im in for and I can say I am going to have a freaking blast! It looks like so much fun. Every character has a little quirk and I found out mine is a closet homo. Possibly a lisp. Ha!
Until tomorrow!

Day 90 - Colorado Cut, Tile Be Dead and Bucket Efficiency
Day 90 VLOG CLICK HERE!
New haircut today. Stylist, Amber, was lovely. Have to love that Colorado hospitality.
Finished all of the tile except the bathroom. Still need to get in there and.....do stuff.
At first I was breaking tile and filling the bucket as I went. I pop about 9-10 tiles, break them up into smaller pieces and pile them in the bucket. I'd set my tools aside and take the bucket to the dumpster in the driveway. I felt I was losing valuable time switching gears between popping, breaking and dumping. So I changed strategies. I popped everything first. I broke when the pile was complete and then I took consecutive bucket loads to the dumpster, one after the other. It was much more efficient and I felt less tired. Point is that sometimes trying to do too many things to pop ones career can be less than helpful. Maybe I need to focus on one area before moving to another, never having to go back because that task will be completed. Savvy?

Day 89 - Bizarro George, Die Tile Die and Spanish Greetings and Introductions
Day 89 VLOG CLICK HERE!
Dallas Travers made a reference to an episode of Seinfeld where George does the opposite of every instinct he's every had and he finds women, fortune and success. So she suggested if something isn't working, try to opposite. What is the opposite of getting two auditions a month? HA! Kidding. But it could pertain to the attitude you take in the audition room, your preparation, your training diligence or any other aspect that could help or hinder you. If its not working then change it. Take new actions to get new results.
Today I destroyed tile in the living room. Tomorrow, kitchen and bathroom, you're next!
Going back to Spanish Level 1 Unit 2 Lesson 2: Greeting and Introductions. Loving it!
