I love America for the accessibility of watching fantastic movies.
I think Indie movies are stepping up to quality film making beyond studio
based movies.  Watching blockbusters or 50 million dollar movies or famous
actors doesn't automatically deliver quality content anymore in my opinion.
The best movies and best soundtrack so far - - Coco Before Chanel (intelligent chick flick),
An Education and Pirate Radio. I love them all.  Their stories are tight, shot cinematically
specific including art direction and costumes, and their music, music music is wonderful.
And go see City of Lost Children (Dvd) if you haven't already.  
My friend directed Assassination of Richard Nixon, not a happy movie, FYI,
but fabulous dialogue and the wake up call on the atrophy of the human spirit.

I also saw the Ravonettes and noticed they played in Hong Kong before. Dude,
they're a great band in the indie dept.  My favorite song is the Christmas Song.

One of my friends had a wedding reception on halloween, so that minimized my
opportunity to dress up for that particular occasion.  I saw the Alive not dead pictures
of some of my friends' costumes. You guys are so imaginative.

I sadly only have one picture of my state of normalcy on hallow's eve with my John Paul and
with one of my talented artist friends.  If you wish to see more of his work, let me know!
hugs and kisses to all.

Hi all,

Despite the horrendous disasters in the Phillipines and Indonesia, etc., I was the typical human that was saddened by the news, but went on with my life.  I love to reward myself for my efforts and actions.  You never know if you're the next disaster statistic.

Over the weekend, I went to a U2/MUSE concertt in another state, N.C.   Flew red eye and slept all day at the hotel, then flew out the next morning @ 6am.  The show itself was a struggle because all the taxis were taken due to the concert.  When we left after the 1st encore performance, we decided to eat at the nearby restaurant.  When we left, there was a traffic lockdown and people were swarming everywhere looking for taxis. OMG, we had to chase after those taxis. Kind of amusing if it wasn't so cold due to my state of undress.- - wore a strapless cotton dress . . . .=)

I have pictures of the awesome concert and a few of my "office" at work for the Jay Roach proj.
Yes, that is a faux Ram for the shoot, which starts in a week!
hugs and kisses to all! Stay safe during the typhoon season please.

I'm happy and lucky.
I've been working and keeping busy since early August, as locations assistant.

1st I worked on a reshoot for Edge of Darkness - - - mel gibson film.  Didn't see him but met him b4
his DUI and he was fun to talk to.

2nd I am working on Dinner for Schmucks for a few months! Comedy, of course based on a famous french film about bringing perceived underachievers for a group dinner to mock them.  Director Jay Roach and Steve Carell as the lead.  I loved STeve Carell in Get Smart.

3rd I worked on this short thriller film in January 2009, ck it out when you have time.  Directed by
Bobby Glickert.  I worked with him on Fast and Furious 4.

I was able to go on a tiny vacation to Austin, Tx before working on my 2nd project.
So I'm attaching some pics from my trip who haven't seen it or been there.  And a
random shot of Russell Wong.
It was hot hot hot! I went swing dancing, ate french food (Chez Nous), ate ribs and
sweated around historical bldgs and temples.
Here you go.
Thanks for reading.
hugs and kisses to all.

 
 WE WORK!
  It's a splendid feeling when you have no "luggage" to worry about or to report to.  I have complete freedom to do as I please, which enables me to learn about various personalities and my own limitations that I want to exceed.

  I worked two projects 1. a chris daugtry music video 2. a chiquita banana commercial in middle CA from the company The Famous Group (which explains the sign I was holding)
 And some of you might ask, who is Chris Daughtry? He was one of the finalists of an American Idol season. I didn't take pics of the music video because you're not supposed to do that on a job.
 I only take pictures when celebrities aren't involved in the feature or project.
 So attached you will find the chiquita banana's backside which isn't his best side.

 I had a busy month or so helping my best friend with his events while I was location managering my projs I was hired for.  The most fun I had was when one of my gal pals went to san francisco for her anniversary with her husband.  Coincidentally, one of my friends I was having lunch with was going to drive to SF.  So once she told me, I asked to carpool with him and I was in SF the same day I decided to go !  LIfe brings adventures every minute if you want to accept that privilege and not inconvenient to others! Then I bought my flight ticket home 2 days later. Now that's too spontaneous, because it can cost you!
 Fun times, I stayed at the Hilton with my friends, I ate at my favorite steak restaurant- - House of Prime Rib, then was able to see 2 of my friends from san jose and finished it off with an abundance of crab louie salad at the Fisherman's Wharf.  San Francisco is mostly beneficial for food lovers and food lovers only!  Embrace your taste buds today. Hugs and kisses to all.
 
PICTURE OF THE KIDS WAS RANDOM FROM MY FILMING LOCATION. THE 6 WK year old chihuahua and kids were too cute, had to photograph them.

Hello AnD,

I'm back in LA and just received the warmest welcome from my director Jen Thym from Rockginger.
The webisode trailer has been finished.  Even though we had a limited time schedule and a skeleton crew, we were able to film this webisode  last winter on the RED camera. Please ck it out when you can.

The dedicated and talented crew and hardworking cast made this all possible for us, not to mention the tremendously self taught and self motivated director, Mrs. Jen Thym.

Thank you for watching.  Enjoy.
