Thanksgetting
I enjoy the times I get to come back home. It's refreshing. It reminds me of my roots, what kind of person I was raised to be, and it brings me back to who I am ( Read more... ) -
catching up: Bet you never thought I'd be on a diet.
I'm on a diet. And you should know better than to think it's the traditional Lose Weight diet, though everybody immediately thinks I'm trying to wither away. No, no... I'm on a diet to bulk up. My girlfriend suggested an costume to do in a year or two for a con or whathaveyou, but there's no way I could get away with it as skinny as I am. -- ( Read more... ) -
catching up: Two months now
I'm developing a love/hate relationship with Los Angeles. There's a lot I enjoy about this city, it's really unlike any other place I've ever lived. I love all there is to see and do, all the unique quirks, right down to the crazy people that make this place so entertaining. But having a car here sucks! You have to pay to park pretty much ( Read more... ) -
I'm putting together a special team.
I dreamt that I and some friends and some friends of friends put together a group to make parody videos about cosplaying and wearing superhero costumes. They must have been funny. All of a sudden, while at whatever event this was for, evil struck. Seeing how we already had the costumes, and the gear, we were the best ones for the job. We ( Read more... ) -
the first month in L.A.
So the first month is behind me. And I wish I had more stories to share, but sadly, not too much is going on. When I got here my goal was to immediately get going. I told everyone I had Horror Nights and my Actors Access account to get me going and get work. Well it worked out a bit differently ( Read more... ) -
Halloween Horror Nights....Hollywood
When my Orlando friends found out I was leaving for California to work at [wait for it] Halloween Horror Nights, there was a shared laughter. Honestly, that was a ridiculous move, to go to California what I could have done in Orlando, with my friends, in my familiar setting, in better conditions, and with cooler stuff. But I decided I was done ( Read more... ) -
bad mojo in Koreatown
When I got to L.A. I moved into an area that had the lowest crime rate of anywhere in the city. I have a number of friends living in the same area, including one who's been living in the same building as me for two years. After a few nights here, my car was broken into, and some jerk off stole my GPS. Apparently I didn't hide it well enough; the ( Read more... ) -
L.A. - Currently in production
After a road trip across the country and the various detours I took along the way, I made it into California two weeks ago, around 10pm on a Thursday night. Since then I have done almost nothing but move in and set myself up. I'm not done yet, but things are coming along ( Read more... ) -
Okay LiveJournal...
A friend pointed out to me a good while ago that I'm not very good at keeping people posted on what's going on in my life anymore. I decided that I was going to get better about that, but I still procrastinated, like I do. Then someone else asked me what was new and I eventually had to go back because there was so much I hadn't mentioned to ( Read more... ) -
In Memory of Allen Shellenberger.
I found out this evening that the drummer for my all-time favorite band, Lit, had passed away last night. Allen Shellenberger was diagnosed with brain tumor in May of last year, and since then has been courageously battling the illness with the support of his loved ones, even continuing to play with his bandmates until the fall of the same year, ( Read more... )
