SHOOTING and VOTING

OK, so I just finished shooting DOLLHOUSE (FOX's new show).  I had a great time doing it and met alot of nice people.  A few highlights were:

1. My Outfit.  Is this not the craziest thing?!?  If you know me, you know I never, ever, ever dress like this.  Ha ha ha ha, it was great to actually go out of my comfort zone.  Look, it's a yellow golf hat with a hoody and I am wearing a little BLING!  I guess I am really conservative  in what I wear, because I thought this was like an alien suit to me.

Also, the set was this awesome old building with cement floors and old brick walls.  And I was surrounded by dancers and singers.  I got to hang out with Jed Whedon, the writer of the episode.  He also wrote a very cool movie, "Doctor Horrible's Sing A Long" (you should google it, it's awesome).

2.  I VOTED today!!!!  I did an ABSENTEE ballot in the mail.  I don't like standing in lines and parking, so I vote through the mail.  And I voted for my favorite candidates and propositions!  I am so proud of myself.  I want everyone to vote!!!!  I don't care who you're voting for, just get your voices heard!

So I guess that's it for today.  Hope all is well in internet land!

I BOOKED ANOTHER TV SHOW!!!!!

So I booked another show!  Last month I had a blast doing "GRAY'S ANOTOMY", and now I will be doing Joss Whedon's (BUFFY) new Sci-Fi TV show, "DOLLHOUSE".

It stars ELIZA DUSHKU (Buffy, Bring It On, Tru Calling) and it will be on FOX.  I basically am in the midst of POP glamour and I tell Eliza's character and others how to sing and what to do.  I play a musical director getting people ready for a... well that's all I can say about the story.  You will have to see the show.

I start shoot Oct 15 and I can't wait too meet Eliza!

OPRAH

Ok, Ok, Ok.... so I am kinda over my haircut now.  I want to talk about 2 things.

1. OPRAH and VISION BOARDS.  Not sure if any of you guys heard of "Vision Boards", but it's basically a poster you make with everything you want in life. Marriage, love, money, cars, etc..etc.. Then you put it up and look at it everyday.  And the theory is that it will subliminally tr

ain your brain and the universe to get these things.  I have a few friends who do it and love it.  Well I am not one to make posters, but I did make a "VISION DESKTOP" on my computer.  Meaning, I made a Jpeg image and put it on my computer so everyday I stare right at it.  I have MONEY, ECO FRIENDLY CAR, MY DOGS, FRIENDS, PEACE, DREAM HOUSE, FITNESS on it.  Hopefully this will lead me to a POSITIVE Life and send positive people and things to me!!!

2.  This happen to me today: I had this person set up a photoshoot with me for September. She pays me a $50 non-refundable deposit to secure it.  She calls me up later and says, "Oh I need to re-schedule for early October."  So I do it.  Then October rolls around, and she doesn't show up to the appointment.  Later that day, she says, "Oh I thought it was for Sunday, not Saturday."  So I re-schedule AGAIN for Sunday.  Than I get a TEXT Message Sunday morning saying, "I need to re-schedule our appointment, I was at the Hospital all night with my family."

Now I would of normally been sympathetic in this case, but she basically bailed out on her first 2 appointments. So I told her, "Sorry about your situation, but I am booked until the 15th, so when you are "REALLY" ready to do a shoot, call me.  I may request an 'additional' DEPOSIT to secure yet another photoshoot.  (She paid a non-refundable deposit to secure 1 timeslot with me already which she took advantage of)

You see, everytime I schedule an appointment with her and she does a NO SHOW, I lose money and time.  I could of given that timeslot to someone else.  So she basically cost me ALOT money.  She texted me, "You insensitive prick."  Was she not sensitive to me when she cancelled 3 of her appointments with me with no regards of my time or loss of business?  I did say to her that I was sorry for her family, but I can't keep losing money from her.

I said she could re-schedule with me AFTER the 15th, and hopefully she would be more 'serious' about it.  I just get so angry when people don't give respect but expect it.

Just wanted too get this off my chest.

Ugh.
