Friday

So what's the big deal about it being Friday? Just another day! But the weather, that's fantastic, but I'm working at the shop so I'll just think of how nice it will be when I'm not working, but then I can worry about NOT working! Sheesh, does it never end? Oh yea, it will, and after reading the news online, I think it may happen sooner than we think....

So I understand that on the day of MJ's funeral, when the world was obsessed with the "occasion" the pope declared the need for a one world governing body...how come that is not on the mainstream press? Does anyone see the significance of this? Am I misreading something?

Seems the adoption of the Euro was pointing to one currency, then there is one government, then one church and then???? Am I over simplifying?


OK, business at hand, Sat & Sunday I will finish (I think) filming for "The Discarded", an independent film I got involved with over a year ago. I get to play the role of a sick, evil step-mother, a la Hansel & Gretel. I am pretty much evil incarnate. The role does not bother me from a moral standpoint because she is evil, and gets her just rewards. So often the bad guy becomes a hero of sorts these days, but not her! The footage to date looks great, but there have been issues along the way that delayed it's completion, so here's hoping! If you've looked at my reel, there is scene from The Discarded, when I am telling my "hubby", "we have to do something", & believe me it's not very nice!

As an actor, one of our jobs is to create the character & history, come up with a back story so to speak. I decided why my character is like she is & then went a bit further to see how her past impacted her current actions. Someone has died in the film & I "decided" my character helped the process along. Concerned that this might not be true to the directors intent, I thought I'd better ask how the other person had died so my acting did not conflict with the message. Turns out I was right, although those words were never spoken! So, imagination, as well as the plot as laid out led me to believe what was in fact in the writer/director's mind all along! Good job!

Ok, enough for now, xray stands are calling!
