Buses & Better

Bus Party = Fun

4am on a bus party = lots of friends so drunk they are crying or so drunk they are vomiting = suprisingly not me.

I have an audition for a sci-fi movie tomorrow. Sweet. I get to use my REAL accent. Why? Because according to stuff I see on Sci-Fi channel, a great deal of the outer galactic alien population speaks upper class British. The trouble is the words. There are lots of them and they don't make sense. Once again a reason to be British- treat it like Shakespeare!

In all honesty I am too tired to be any more interesting than the above right now. My man is in India and I miss him (yes, we got back together, which I han't mentioned on this) and today was so busy I'm ready to collapse.....but not before learning those Shakespearean words, of course.

Party on a Bus



Thank you Lisa for doing something interesting fro your birthday!

Tonight, I am privileged to be joining a group of friends on a double decker bus with a disco ball, karoeke and "optional" dancing poles.

Bar on the bus? Of course.

Yes, never have I been so happy to kiss away 30 bucks as tonight.

And after yesterday's so-so party of Hollywood wannabes, I'm sure this is GOLDEN.

Now, now, Thesy, stop with the great expectations....I shall report back, my daaaaahhhhlings.

Oh, Bummer. But Life Goes On.



Too good to be true, right? Well I won't get into the logistics but our prize money is not coming to us and looks like we have a legal case. See apparently the votes, as displayed by Vuze online, are not really the votes that count in the competition!? There's a whole secret word of votes that really counts and 8.5 is basically a totally meaningless statistic, good for getting people's hopes up and tricking them into "winner" mode. Angry, moi?

ITVF! Boo to you!

Within all this craziness and meetings with lawyer friends and phone conversations etc. there is a silver lining. It's called let the anger fuel your next project. And I already have a few in development. One a short film of Flicka, where she starts off in England and we basically see her life before she wins the competition. The other, a new webseries idea, where Jeff Van Hoy and I are the Canadian presidents of the resurrecting Hanson Fan Club. (Remember "Mmmm...Bop"?) I was told by my ex and Flicka producing partner that this is not a funny concept, which makes me want to do it even more......;)

I joined Kabbalah last week and not to tread on all you cynics' toes but it was not to meet Madonna.

Jewish mysticism is a lot more amazing than I ever thought it would be and the images of Light and Dark and Reality vs. The Higher Realm are basically concepts that have been locked up inside of me, dying to come out. Part of it is extremely scientific as well but of course that's not the main incentive. Forgive me if I sound cheesy but I know these teachings can help me become a better person and look at my life as something I have more control over and can attract the positive energies to.

As Kabbalist Jamie Greene said, you come to Kabbalah when you are at a point in your life where you want something changed. Whatever that may be its important that you have that DESIRE to change, he said.

And believe me, DESIRE is not hard for this girl to have!
