Reflection and Thanks

First of all, Happy Veterans Day and a big thank you to all who have served and are serving. I know how blessed I am to be following this dream and I know that those who protect my freedoms are part of why I am so lucky. I went to school with one of our fallen heros, Adam Snyder. He was killed in Iraq in 2007. I didn't know Adam very well but I have friends that were close with him. He wanted to be an actor and planned on pursuing his dream once he finished serving his five years, which would have been this past summer. You can read more about Adam and the sacrifice he made here.

Yesterday's audition was...good, I guess? It is hard to tell with commercial auditions. They see such a range of people and you just never know where you fall within that range on how they want to sell their product. The callbacks are at the end of next week, so we'll know more then. It is usually best to go in and then just forget about it because you just never know. That is so much easier said than done though.

Class was great - a lot of solid work was put up. We didn't get a chance to put up our scene because time ran out. But we both got a new scene to work on in addition to finishing up this one so that excites me. I love having double works, especially when the rest of my acting life is a little slow. Makes me feel even more motivated.

Tonight I get to go to a SAG screening of Broken Embraces, which is followed by a Q&A with Penelope Cruz. One of perks of being a SAG member that I try to take advantage of as much as possible.

My sister, Kelsey, is headed to New York City today! I am so jealous! She is going to an advertising conference with a group from school and will be there until Sunday. To all of my NY friends: Be on the lookout for a beautiful Gordon Girl! I should have told her to go to the Renaissance Diner for me. And Angelo's Pizza. Yummmm.

Ok, running behind this morning so I must skedaddle...adios!
