Location, Location.

First off, I would like to complain about this blog thing not having a decent shade of pink in it's font color choices. Cause this is the best they've got. And it sucks. Moving on.

I've changed my story idea for my short and it entails a new location. And the location I REALLY REALLY want has some issues. For the story that I want to do, I would need to be able to shoot in Deno's Wonder Wheel Park in Coney Island. However, it is closed and won't be open until April. My shoot is scheduled for March. So. To set it simply around Coney Island will mean a sacrifice in my original story. I am hoping that perhaps the Wonder Wheel area is open, its just the rides that arent. Gotta find that out. Then I thought, what about Rye Playland?! Closed too. Until May.

So, I have reverted back to where I had originally set the story, in the Bronx Zoo. I've written to the media relations person at the zoo, so I'll cross my fingers and you pray for me. I don't know how they handle these situations, so I made sure to make my letter sound super professional, meaning I used alot of big words and offered money :P ok, maybe not the second part, but I really hope they let me. Cause doing it anywhere else won't allow much freedom.

I have the day off tomorrow, yay!, and I most certainly will convince myself that I should do some Wii Fit. I NEED to lose weight. That picture of me at the beach- totally innacurate right now. I've gained 15 pounds! And admitting that here to the world is the first step I've gotta take to getting back in shape. Now that you all know, I gotta get rid of it, right??? Especially before I go Spring Breaking anywhere!


** Special shoutout to Abby who I think is the only person who reads my blog right now. Thanks Abby!! :) **

Film Fears

So. Today was my first production class. My crew is already awesome cause I'm working with two people I know. However, we have to shoot black and white and no sound. I'm not too bummed about that, but I did want to do dialogue. Anywayz, here's the kicker, which I know, duh, I should have seen coming. But...., we have to edit the old way. Meaning, no computer!!! I'm so scared. I'm so used to iMovie and I am terrified that I'm going to cut something wrong and the entire movie is ruined. Oh the pressure.

I know that by the next few weeks I'll be fine. And I know that I'm going to love this way of editing. But right this very second, I'm just really nervous. So other than that, class went well, and then I learned how much I'm going to have to shell out for film and processing. Oh fate, why. I am super, ultra, broke, (partly because I don't have a job) and I know I'll find the money somehow, but this means no super sizing at Mc Donalds for the next few months. :( And probably eating Cup of Noodles on a regular basis. Hmmmm...... That doesn't bother me so much. I LLOOOVVEE Cup of Noodles.

I know what my project is going to be about, and of course I will not share that here. But when it is complete, I will certainly post it for you guys to check out. Oh yeah, and another one of my loves: NO FEAR SHAKESPEARE!!!! I'm reading Macbeth and I actually know what's going on!!!! I'm really happy about that. Not so much enjoying the story tho. These guys are pretty dumb. Except King Duncan, so far, he's pretty cool.

I'll try to blog as much as I can during the shooting process, I think it'll be intresting for me to be able to look back at what we went through. And probably interesting for you guys to see what its like to shoot a short film. Anyway, my stomach is reminding me it's time to chow down.


Love, Peace, and Chicken Grease !

Philadelphia! The city of our founding fathers and no nightlife!

Aloha!

So I thought I'd share some of my Philly photos with you and for those of you who have seen them already, I'm going to share something unknown about each photo. First, I'll explain why I was in Philly, cause it's not exactly the ideal vacation destination in the winter.

My bf Kane goes to this college theater festival called ACTF. A year ago I would have been thrilled, but I've lost my faith in theater (as an actress) which I'll also talk about another day, so as of now, I'm sticking to film. Anyway, so I agreed to go to this thing where you do workshops, see shows, and basically network. Our first day there, we had so much fun sightseeing, we decided to nix the workshops and just pay to go see shows. We ended up seeing one show, and exploring Philadelphia for the whole trip, which was FUN!! We did an abandoned prison tour, comic book shopping, record hunting, vintage clothes thrifting, and saw where Betsy Ross did her thing, among other stuff.





C-R-E-E-P-Y......and I LOVED it!!! This tour was sooooo my thing. I love old buildings and abandonded ones are a ++! I learned alot about Eastern State Penetentiray which was super cool. If you're into this stuff, google this place. We were allowed to walk to the second level which is where I took this pic. Earlier in the tour, we were even allowed to go in some of the cells! You can't tell from this pic, but it was FFRREEEZZIINNNGG!!! Me and Kane's hands were purple after the tour! We were so busy taking tons of pictures, I don't think we realized our hands were taking the toll. But they gave us hot choclate halfway through, so that def hepled. I know what you're wondering, did I see any ghosts?.......Yes! I saw a picture of a "ghost" that was supposedly "captured" on film there, but uh,... no. Not in person.


My face is smiling, but my butt is screaming I'm cold!! Either my jeans were too thin or that stone was that cold, but it stung! That's homegurrrl Betsy's house in the back.

We had to take this picture 4 times, meaning he made that face four times. And my camera is slow. So there's Kane, a few feet from the Liberty Bell, pretending to steal it's money. Plus whatever other tourists were watching us.


This was super random. We were walking back to the hotel when we saw this closed up store with "You Are Beautiful" on the window. There was no indication what kind of store it used to be, but we do know that they accepted credit cards. Note the bag of comics in my hand.


I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE bowling!! I had so much fun nearly beating Nando. Sadly, this bowling alley was cool but service sucked. Their hours said they were to close at 12am, but because it was "slow", they were going to close early. Say what???? They let us play one game of pool and bowling, but we couldn't order food and only got to order one round of drinks. Boo. Anywho, this picture captured my first strike of the game! Note my perfect form.


Smelliest sandwich EVER! It was a roast beef concoction that Kane ordered. As he put it, which is completely accurate, it smelled like farts in a jar. So on the money. I was not feeling good when we sat down to eat at the Reading Terminal Market, and this did not help.


ALL in all, it was an unlikely, great trip. I will admit I had my doubts that Philly would have been fun at all. I planned to look forward to the mall and that was going to be it. Despite the frigid weather, I had a blast exploring the city of no night life with Kane.

But, it would have been awesome if I saw Garfield and Sherry from Parking Wars! :D

My first bloggy blog!!!!!

WoOoOoOo hOoOoOoO!!! Come along for the ride! It's my first blog! I am really excited to do this, albeit being like, 100 years late. But yay! Now you guys will know lots of useless crap about me!

So. Um. I guess this is the part where I tell you about my day. Ok, so I woke up, um, played animal crossing, which rocked!!, uh........ I ate McDonalds, and then decided to create a blog. Phew. Busy day. Yea, yeah- boring. I'll get better.

So what's new with me? I recently became an Avon Rep! I will be selling makeup, skincare, fragrances, and all the other goodies Avon is so famous for. I quit my job at Old Navy cause it kinda sucked, which I will possibly divulge into in another blog. Avon is the easiest way for me to make extra money for stupid stuff like a metrocard and food, cause ya'll know how much I can eat. And how much eating is a dear hobby of mine. So Avon will NOT be paying for the dunks I wish I had or that Juicy bag that's oh so cute. This Avon business is strictly to survive aka eating.

I just came back from Philadelphia last week which was both fun and boring! Wow, how can a city manage to be both you ask? Well I'll tell you, Philadelphia is the city of no night life. GASP! Say it ain't so!! Yeah, after midnight, it was like a ghost town. So my craving for random food after midnight was fufilled by a WaWa. Their bars, bowling allys (sp? too lazy to check), and pool places were done and over with at the stroke of midnight. Lame. After sightseeing all day, there was no where to go out at 1 am, which is how we do it here in NYC. But all and all it was pretty cool. I'll post some pics and further discuss the partying we did at Independance Hall. It was hardcore man. George and Abe were there too.

So, my sisters came just came for our weekly sleepover where they drive me nuts until they fall asleep. Last time they were over, my dog ate a glow stick one of them left around. Not fun.
