weekend crazies!

A busy weekend!

Friday shooting, Saturday roadtrippin' to Huntsvegas to see "The Secret Garden," Sunday shooting

my buddy greg and i 

nathan and elyce! they are bunches of fun to travel with

cemetery shoot with the demon sisters. lots of fun but the wind was a huge tech issue with sound... looks like we will end up having to re-record just sound later

just a neat pic 

keli is a pretty cool chick but her character was quite mean to mine 

Sam Houston State University's Theatre Dept performance of "The Secret Garden" It was great to see college buddies rocking it in this show! (i didn't take this pic, i stole it off of facebook...oops)

just a glimpse of our road trip fun... nathan plays harmonica and drives, elyce works on project, i read nathan's comics, and greg reads comics, helps elyce with her project, and plays cameraman/radio DJ ;)

RANDOM thoughts: just started working on my first ever screenplay! YAY!!! i had a few ideas for a film for a while now and finally i decided to talk to my friend greg about writing it together and *cue the scary music* co-DIRECTING it too! wooooooahhh! scary but i am thrilled! i really really really want to direct a film! so far we seem to be a great creative team so i think the process is going to be a lot of fun! can't wait to get to the finished product... of course that can take... well forever. we'll see. 

wanna know what its about? hehehe i can't really tell you or i would have to kill you, but i will say it fits perfectly in the type of movies that i LOVE! its a DARK DARK Comedy that involves the Mafia/Mob... 

these are pretty much my top favorite movies... i love braveheart...mean girls... anchorman... and many others... 

anyways i better get to bed. hope everyone's weekend was great! have a blessed week! enjoy your MANIC MONDAY!  :)

God Bless, ROCK OUT, & Cheers!

eventful at least

hello all!

so....i got a crash course on what it feels like to be a puppet.

 

yesterday. working out with my buddy greg. almost passed out. had horrible abdominal pain. went to ER. found out it was an ovarian cyst that ruptured. awesome. had to get an ultrasound. no big deal right? right. nope. wrong. internal ultrasound also because apparently you gotta get all up in someone's biz to see their ovaries correctly. oh joy. quite the hit. however, i'm thinking the highlight of the entire event though was when the hooker, i mean DOCTOR, doctor, decided that the ringing phone that was SEVERAL inches out of her reach was important enough to reach over and answer with her "free-hand" even though she was holding a giant, sword-like instrument in my.... *cough*... yeah try that thought on for size... ::reach reach reach:: i was thinking "BY THE GREAT BEARD OF ZEUS this is PAINFUL!" however i'll be fine. thankfully Greg and Samantha were there to help and took really good care of me!!! they are no short of awesome! 

i have a new respect and empathy for Elmo. eep.

other than THAT adventure the only other things going on this week were a few auditions (some that went well others that were so so) and a bit of shooting for the film i'm working on called "Hunters" its an action packed sci-fi film about 3 demon hunters. One who approaches it from a religious stand point, one who uses science, and another who uses pagan and witch craft. my character is the witch craft chick! she's pretty hardcore. i'm looking forward to doing my first serious hand to hand fight scene!! yay! 

 setting up a shot

 

Greg (my buddy) is a camera man

 

(left to right) Nathan my good friend who is playing the scientist character, myself playing the gothic witch craft girl, and Kevin playing the religious character, and we are the "HUNTERS" (cue the scary music!)...

well enough rambling for now!!!

ROCK OUT, God Bless!! and Cheers!

hello there

well hello there! and how do you do?

no one really says that anymore do they? "how do you do?" hmm here i am blogging. this uh, bloggin' business isn't too difficult is it? i mean, i am used to doing everything with one click here and there and being done. i'm a true american with the attention span and patience of a mere rock. see rocks have no attention span or patience... wait.. oh.. epic fail. thats wasn't really funny was it? blasted!!! but yes, i have little patience. has anyone noticed that recently when paying with debit cards you are now required to answer a bajillion questions just to friggin pay for your gum or late night snikers bar that you don't need since you jogged an extra 2 mins on the treadmill for....??? okay, what i mean to say is that... well it just goes like this

cashier rings in your item and tells you the total pretending not to judge you for the king size snickers bar and the fact that you are wearing jersey men's shorts and an army button up from the 60's... i mean... dead sexy right? (yes it is confirmed that i am strange... moving on... nothing to see here....).

::you slide your card::

"debit or credit?"  

::selects 'debit'::

"do you know your pin number?"   

::brow furrows thinks "well i wouldn't friggin try if i didn't" selects 'yes':: 

"pin number?"  

::****::

"would you like cash back?"  

::thinks yes but i don't have any. selects 'no'::

"your mother's maiden name?"  

::reese::

"your favorite card game?"

::weighs options in head between  spades and poker while people start to pile up in line behind  you and stomach growls for snikers... selects "spades!"::

"biggest fear?"  

::spiders, failure, the woman behind me in line who is about to drop kick my "a" from here to New Mexico if i do not FRIGGIN FINISH THIS!::

"is this total correct $____?"  

::selects yes::

"have you ever been cheated on?"  

::smiles confidently and selects 'no'::

"we're sorry your information is incorrect please try again."   

::WT..............!!!!!::

:) i think i shall have fun with this bloggin' business... right now i'm living in ATX and currently unemployed "formally," but busy working on films and auditioning my little heart out. i have had some interesting ups and downs since graduating college about a year ago now. and believe me i will tell many funny, wild, shocking, and incriminating stories as time goes on... and i can promise to throw in a few boring blogs so that you can soak in just a little more adequate nap time! (i'm thoughtful). so stick around and y'all will hear about me flashing a preacher, threatening some gangstas' lives that i would "cap them,"  the evilness of a fraud filmmaker i want to kick in the shins, the guy that still owes me a lot money, dancing on a bar, jumping off a bridge, getting out of speeding tickets 101, attempted stunt driving, times i should have had my ace kicked, funny people i have met, all the stupid things i have said (and will continue to say) at the perfectly WRONG time, absolute rambling, great facts and stories about my family and friends, off the wall pirate cursing... and a whole lot more... 

very much LOVE, God Bless, Rock Out, and CHEERS!
