Hello again!

Long time, no blog!

These past few weeks I've been traveling the East coast, visiting with family and friends, and getting away from the hustle and bustle of the acting world for a bit.

Some of the things I got to experience, in no particular order:  two Broadway shows, hanging out with the New Year's Eve ball, 9/11 memorial, eating freshly steamed crabs in Baltimore, visiting a quaint town in Maryland, hanging out with my nieces, seeing old friends, diving in the Florida Keys, eating lobster that we caught, eating fish that we caught, swimming with iguanas, lots of naps, sweltering heat in all our destinations, planes, trains and automobiles, walking down memory lanes in NYC, lots of quality time with family, lots of laughter, lots of love.

And now...it's back to the grind!

I cut my hair before I left and shot new headshots while in NY.  Will be getting some opinions from the reps this week and hope to have the new pictures in rotation soon.  As a little preview, here is one of the pics from the shoot:
Ooh la la, short hair!

Also will be starting Level 401 of Improv at UCB this week!  I graduated 301 back in May but since I was going to be traveling most of July, I had to wait to start up on the next class.  But I've been involved in a few practice groups in the meantime so I don't feel too rusty!  And I'm excited to be taking the class with my buddy John.  He and I were cast in a short film together years ago in NY and maintained a friendship ever since.  We took Sketch Writing at UCB together last summer so I know this final level should be lots of fun!

  1. Sounds like a much needed break! Where were you swimming with IGUANAS, though? Craziness!

    The next time you pass through Baltimore, give J and I a shout-out. We'd love to see you for dinner!

  2. It was! We got to visit both of our families, which was great! Iguanas: the house we were staying at in the Keys had an empty lot next to it and all of these iguanas hung out there. We were all hanging out in the pool one afternoon when a little one suddenly jumped in and jumped on the raft that was next to my face! There was much screaming and ballyhooing and we were finally able to get it out of there. It was a brave little iguana. Me? Not as brave.

    And that would be great! We were in Bmore for the shortest amount of time this trip but when we are there a little longer, I'll for sure shout-out! It'd be great to see you two!

  3. Gah! That iguana story is a little terrifying! I don't do reptiles near my face! And yes, definitely let us know if you guys have time next time :)
