I'm the girl stuck in traffic

The ART:
I did some background acting work for 3-4 weeks. I learned a lot and had fun too. Of course, I found books that describe and outline a career or SAG voucher expedition a la background acting. I also created a booklet that will help be organize bookings, auditions, submissions, etc.

I also got new headshots. Check me out at me, me, me, me.

I am writing an article for KC Stage, a performance art magazine in Kansas, Missouri Metropolitan Area. It's due in two days. Oh, I should do something boring. Yeah. No, it's exciting. I just need to organize it better.

And I have a new schedule for exercising and doing (sprint distance) triathlons.

The LAW:
Last weekend I was kind of sick. One of my friends called to laugh at me if I was at work. "No you're hanging out with me today," I yelled. We saw a guy hanging out venice beach and a sign laid next to him as he slept on the ground. The sign exclaimed, "friends don't let friends get jobs." Message from a prophet?

I'm thinking of holding up at venice beach too. maybe get a bowl, some artwork from some 2-weeks to being an artist course, and a sign taped to my bowl that reads "make your own change." I'm thinking a big rainbow colored umberella, a lounge chair, and books to read. My friend thinks it's a good idea, but then he started adding legal services to it and making me talk to people, real money, and well, he ruined a perfectly good idea.

Then this weekend, I got yelled at for working my temp legal job (it pays more than minimum wage) by friends and family. One of my girlfriends called me 5 times within 30 minutes and yelled at me to get my ass out of the office on Friday. I was in the office until 8 pm and the folks we were meeting were already drunk. Then my mom fuses at me today about being in the office on a Saturday and a Sunday. "Surely there can't be that much work to do," she says in her outside voice. "Sue me," I think.

Then one of my aunts ask me about "waiting" for the bar results. I'm living my life; I'm not waiting; I have two law licenses and people who will hire me for more than minimum hourly wages; I'm not waiting; I'm sitting in traffic (minimum of 20 minutes to pass the intersection of LaCienega and Rodeo); I'm not waiting. Twenty minutes (I have a good sense when it passes) later the same person tells me her daughter wants to be an actress, what a waste of education she says. I ask what subject her daughter's B.A. is in. Business and economic she says. I tell her it's not a waste, acting is a business and her degree will come in handy. Besides my cousin works at Banana Repubic, can we say "discount"?

Everybody just sue me.

Thanks. Best wishes with your ambitions. Do you have a blog or my space? I am doing stuff. I was recently casted in a sketch comedy. So much fun. I am writing sketches. Also I am going to do a stand-up comedy routine by January (open mic night).

It feels like I'm learning to walk (again) -- I want to be running.

Talk to you soon, Kito
