Shiny Happy Person (who also walks like a duck)

Ello!

It's been a few weeks since I wrote last, time flies by! To start, everyone should know that I've been jumping rope for a whole two days now and my calves are so sore. No joke. So, if you see a crazy white girl on Sunset Boulevard, walking around like an old duck, say hello, because that's me!

I can't believe that today is the last portion of the commercial workshop I'm in at the Actor's Comedy Studio. Total bummer. Last week we did "Shiny Happy People," which covers commercials that feature characters that people want to be like. For example, we'd all like to drive a Mercedes, right? People in the Benz commercials would be considered "shiny happy people." I did alright. My favorite exercise was a bank commercial, where I got to play a homeowner who is in the middle of paining and stops to share how low her mortgage is thanks to the wonderful bank. The wonderful bank-- ha! That's why it's called acting. At any rate, I'm a seasoned pro at painting, because not only did I work in the paint department at Lowe's one summer, but I also painted just about every room in my parent's house. Been training hard for that commercial exercise and I didn't even know it. Lol.

Next week, I'm headed out of town for a bit of a vacation. All of you agents and big time movie producers can reach me on my cell ;)
