Christina Is Fun!

I booked another acting gig and I am *very* excited for this one! Back story on it. . .

I had auditioned to play Ophelia for a modern film adaptation of Hamlet. Thinking I had a strong chance of booking the role I ended up not getting cast (but the director wanted to assure me that he though I had an excellent audition and would really like to work with me on future projects.) I usually don't get disappointed when I don't book a role but. . .I couldn't deny that I had my heart set on this one. C'est la vie.

Earlier this week I get a text message from the director telling me he has information on Hamlet I might be interested in. As you can tell by my title, the director's vision was to have Rosencrantz and Guildenstern be women. His Rosencrantz dropped out the project and he offered me the role!!

Filming has already started and I will be filming next week and in April. For now. . .I've got some lines to learn!!

Here's a teaser. . . :p

Information

Unhappiness in relationships, according to Dr. Gary Chapman, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don't understand our partner's requirements, or even our own. We all have a "love tank" that needs to be filled in order for us to express love to others, but there are different means by which our tank can be filled, and there are different ways that we can express love to others.

Take the quiz

I am neither Democrat or Republican. I just take what's presented to me and I go with the choice that feels the best. Past elections I have put in votes that I wasn't sure about but I made a choice regardless.

Tomorrow is different for me. Tomorrow I am voting for Obama. And I have no regrets.

I am also voting No on Prop. 8. There is no reason to vote Yes. None.

So, I saw on udontknowi's lj about googling halloween and the year you were born and finding the best picture of costumes back in that year.

Well, (and I *surprisingly* didn't know this) the movie Halloween came out in 1978 so I was bombarded with pictures of Michael Meyers and posters of the film. But. . .I did find this costume picture from the year I was brought into this world. . .

Apparently, costumes in 1978 sucked.

I don't know how I feel about this. . .

So. . .summer school started today and I was excited to be getting back to work and making money again. Not to mention summer school is so relaxed and easy that you still feel like you're on vacation. But things aren't so peachy this time around. My case student, who was considered to be in Kindergarten while in private school, is considered Pre-K in public school. What does this mean? It means that he's only in school 2 hrs. a day during the summer. 2 hrs. a day?!?! Uh. . .not only is that a waste of time but it's a significant difference in my paycheck. I'm not the only one unhappy about this - his parents aren't thrilled either (they were told he'd be in school for 4.5 hrs. a day for the summer and that's also written into his IEP. . .which is the law.) I mentioned this to my company and I'm hoping we can find a solution to this pretty large problem. . .

Not cool.

But this is cool (even though it's not my news). Raf's movie "Copperhead" was featured on The Soup!!! Joel McHale (who usually makes fun of everything) said he enjoyed "Copperhead"!! Now *that* is cool!

Starting next weekend my show "Tarantino Tales. . .Slices of a Masterpiece" will run for the month of July.
