Produced my first Pilot...

The spa...

This is the first set I've ever "dressed" :)

Woohooo! :) So, here are pics from our shoot on Monday! Sorry for my Venting in the other post - but was quite necessary. :) More to come and everyone send out good vibes on Friday March 23rd at 3:15p (PST).

TMK...

Guess what!? As some of you know, my friend Hal and I created a new cooking show! Well, the pilot has been shot and will be edited next week!! The shoot went amazingly well - even finishing early in the day with Hal doing a great job. He's the host and Chef of the show so it was quite a bit of work - I'll be posting pics as soon as I have them! :)
Oh and this is just a bit of venting - if you are cast in a shoot and have agreed to be in it - SHOW UP! - or at least call?! Also, perhaps calling one hour before the shoot for directions isn't the best idea - then get them, and still don't show.... Especially if you're friends with one of the people involved. Rarrr - but 'twas probably better without him. :) okay that's it - HOOOORAY FOR Cooking! I'll let you all know what's happening with it...

wow - twice in a month...

Hello everyone!
Around the beginning of March I enjoyed a lovely picnic in Griffith Park. I joined a German Club which I love - I mean really, is there a better way to spend a sunday? Speaking german and eating sausages? I think not. :) Seriously - approx 60 people showed up and each person brought at least 4 sausages so the grills were packed! Plus kartoffelsalat, sauerkraut, torten...'twas lovely. My good friends "the Caitlin's" joined me with a German friend of theirs - so here are some pics from the day. I actually forgot my camera - so these are courtesy of the organizer. :)
P.S. I did have a group pic but I can't seem to find it :(

I have new eyes!!!!

Hello hello! So, on February 20th, I stepped into the Kerry Assil Eye Institute in Beverly Hills to receive Custom Lasik Refractive Surgery. Custom Lasik means that everything is done with a laser and maps your eye the entire time of the procedure instead of manually cutting the cornea - if you really want to know more, feel free to ask me. :)

My lovely friend Hal escorted me to the 1:00p appointment and watched as I popped my first pill: a Xanax. Now, most of you know that I don't take anything - rarely even an ibuprofen so we were pretty sure that it would have an effect fairly quickly. I was not convinced of this, but as i became fascinated with a Teddy Bear given to me - perhaps it had started working. Also, during one of my exams instead of saying Red or Green, I said "Left" (with confidence!). Um yeah, maybe it worked. I entered the room fairly calm - only the beginning part hurt as this pressure was put on my eye that felt like someone was sticking a fist in my eye - but the rest was fairly painfree - just weird. The after-effect was definitely a bit tricky. My numbing agent wore off very quickly so my eyes burned like crazy and I got sick on the Gatorade they provided. As we drove home I felt quite ill and I do remember arriving at Hal's - me trying to put drops in my eyes and falling asleep within 10 minutes of arrival. Anyone who says that it's so easy right after = Liars! :) The following day my eyes felt sore but I was able to see well enough to drive! It felt like I had slept in my contacts which was quite unpleasant - but as the days have passed, I'm much more used to it and it gets better everyday!


Waiting to go in and clutching my little pouch of goodies - hmmm have i taken the meds yet? :)

Me loves my bear!!!!

Hmmm - still pre-surgery, just waiting and letting the Xanax work...

Still loving my bear - I think I was trying to poke his eyes out. Yeah, the Xanax wasn't working...

Coming out of the Operating room...eyes still slightly open...starting to burn!

My eyes are burning!!!!! Still smiling though - ha I am tough!

Eyes still burning...Yeah, I got sick on the way home - let's just say I left my mark on Wilshire Blvd. Eew but hey, i didn't get Hal's car. So impressive! :)

and that's it...oh and here's making phone calls, I don't really remember...

I haven't thrown my glasses away quite yet - actually i would donate them, but it's strange sensation that after 20 years of needing help to see - suddenly I can just get up and see! Highly Recommended!!!!! A BIG THANK YOU TO HAL for being a wonderful caretaker and his wonderful Family for taking such good care of me!

More Sharks!!!

My lovely friend Hal and I enjoyed yet another Sharks game - but this time, we travelled to Anaheim to watch them beat the Ducks! The game was actually really fun as the last two minutes I sat biting my nails waiting to see if the Ducks would tie the game. They didn't :) Sharks won and here are a few pics from the game...P.S. Notice the glasses?!?!? Just waiiit! :)

And also...

Yeah, so I got a new sweatshirt for Christmas and wore it a lot! :) Hey, it says SuperGirl - how very true no? :)


because I have been getting some heat about not updating my blog I thought I would catch you up on life. :)




So, I spent a month in Minnesota - everyone in LA shakes their head at this point and talks about how cold it is there - to which I reply "Actually it was never that bad!". Well apparently, now it is! My brother's comment says it all "It was 8 degrees above Zero and it felt balmy" Yeah enough said about that.






Upon my return, I was greeted by a couple of call backs for shows, and most recently was signed to a Legit/Theatrical Agency!!! Woohooo - very exciting indeed! I also travelled to Anaheim to watch the San Jose Sharks (Hockey team people!) play against the Anaheim Ducks with my lovely friend Hal. You can check out the game and his Sharkstour at his blog: www.sharkstour.blogspot.com.
There is also a lovely picture of me carrying trash - yeahhhhh pretty great. :) Aside from that, the last few weeks have been a whirlwind of movies, dinners, girls nights, meetings and a bit of work here and there. :) So, a few random pictures just for you!

Stefan's Geburtstag!!!

So this post was meant to be here on the 6th of February to wish my brother HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY! ALLES GUTE ZUM GEBURTSTAG!
Sorry it's 3 days late in posting! Your present will be on its way soon!
Love you!!!!

A night out when it's 4 degrees...

This is still at Keirans...

Seriously, it was 4 degrees outside!!!! That's without the famous "wind chill" of Minnesota. Our long time family friend Sibin arrived from Vienna (via Chicago) to visit us a few days and we wanted to show him an evening out in Minneapolis. Well, we started the night at Kieran's which was great - but then had trouble deciding on the next venue. The goal: live music. Funny enough, right as we left Kieran's the live music was starting...we chose: 7th Street Entry at First Ave. For one thing, we figured First Ave is a fine venue to show a visitor and 7th Street Entry always has music. My dear friends Dawn, Nicole and I ventured ahead of the boys only to walk in with snot frozen in our noses, paid $5 and found that there was NO OTHER PATRONS in the bar! It was just us and the very nice staff. I tried to get Dawn to beat box on the stage but it didn't quite work...The first band had not yet arrived so the three of us enjoyed our cocktails, enjoying the freedom of being all by ourselves - umm yeah I was apparently quite loud.


All alone in the bar...

as the drink falls... from L - me badass, Dawn - pseudo bad ass and Nicole...drunk? :)



The boys arrived along with some other people so our peace evaporated. Apparently I'm being quite poetic today...anyway, they arrived and shortly thereafter the first band started. Can we really call them a band? As they were setting up, I watched the male member of the band strip off his black jeans to these Zooba-like fitted 3/4 length pants. If you think it sounds bad - well it was. The very sexy cut off black t-shirt completed the ensemble. Did I just say sexy? I meant "not sexy". The problem with the pants was that they were made of cotton rather than any spandex that holds you know what in place...well this one just let it all shake around and I couldn't stop staring at his "just below mid-section"! He threw himself all over the stage, shaking and singing lyrics like "we don't want to kill you, we just want to sell you". It was quite enjoyable! As the second band started and we recovered from the first, Dawn, Nicole and I decided that it was time for "Dance Dance Revolution" at Gameworks across the street. Yeah, I wasn't very good but those two ladies kicked ass! Annd, my lovely Brother Steve (after quite a few drinks) started talking smack as they met us over there...yeah he sucks at Dance Dance Revolution. :) Pics of the evening
