Temperatures in LA continue to plummit as I try and figure out how to make the most of my last 3 weeks in this city before London town. True, I have some holiday mixers/fundraisers lined up, where my social energies will be spent. True, I'll be shooting a music video, and about 5 episodes of "Flicka" but there's always more isn't there.......or am I just on crack.

To be honest, whatever you do in this town it never feels like enough because there's always some dude next to you in coffee bean talking to dude number 2 about how despite being a series regular on nbc's hottest new show and the author of a screenplay being optioned to universal and on a mission to save kids in africa with angelina and brad, he still could be doing MORE for his career?!

are you kididng me, people?

hollywood- you've turned a stiff-upper-lip-brit into a female, woody allen neurotic.

and what a great comedic character i can develop with that.

(through suffering comes revelation.)

Flicka

I created my own web character with the help of David Peck and all those helpful folks at Live Universe.

Her name is Flicka. She is NOT a horse.

She's a British fish-out-of-water in L.A.

Our preview webcam scenarios can be found at www.livevideo.com/Flicka.

The REAL sketch comedy is still to come.

This is going to be fun.

Too pale & too much make-up. Sorry mother. It's up anyway ;).

Thesy Surface in Los Angeles

What the f*&k??? How could it turn so freezing in so little time?

It was literally 85 degrees a week ago and now its in the 40s (well its nighttime of course) but seriously I have become such a Californian wuss, that such dramatic changes in temperature truly affect my nervous system. But, I promise this won't turn into a blog about me whining about the weather. It has been very good to me this year, so far, and I might as well view the colder temp as a "test period" before I hit the cold, damp streets of London in 3 weeks time.

London! LONDON! Do you realize I have not been back in 2 YEARS? Feels like an eternity. What will I do?

I saw The Departed last night and then, later that night, I dreamt that Jack Nicholson was torturing me. No therapeutic explanation needed for that one. Just a basic understanding that movies obviously penetrate my subconscious dramatically. Or that Jack Nicholson is just plain scary. It's the eyebrows, man, those eyebrows.......

My First Ever Blog

Hey.

I'm sure that's how everyone starts their blogs, right?

Or maybe it's- "let me introduce myself, my name is......., I'm from........, my dream is to........."

I could just skip all the introductions and get to the point.

Self-promotion feels cheesy but its necessary staple in this town. I spent nearly my entire day today promoting this Holiday Fundraiser my boyfriend and I are having at his house next Saturday. It's for the band Shakedown Lulu White and since I get to be in it and he's directing and producing it, I figure we need as many asses there as possible to pay the 10 buck entrance and just give the whole project some visibility.

Of course there are a few complications on the way- my friend Dennis Kwan, for example, is having his birthday bash on the very same night (Happy Bday Dennis!)- and then there's the issue that from the 30th of November to the 3rd of December, I will be in a permanent state of intoxication due to these plans:

November, 30th, All-Ivy Alumni Mixer @ The Standard 8 pm till whenever.
Friday, 1st, ICM Party with Hrishi & then Lindsey and Michelle's Bday Party.
Friday, 2nd, Holiday Fundraiser at the mansion 6 pm till 4 am!!!!
Friday, 3rd, The Actor's Network Holiday Mixer, 7 am till midnight.

Watch for me in the alcohol poisoning section of Mount Sinai's Emergency Room on Monay morning, calling my doctor George Clooney!? Cause I'm looney.
