5/26/11 Leah Yorkston

Today is Leah's, a fellow actor, birthday celebration. We met at Sky High! for some trampoline fun. I had never heard of it but it was super fun. A giant warehouse full of trampolines. Including a place to jump off the walls. I had a great time and think I shall have to bring Jason and Ethan here...

I am thankful for my fun evening at Sky High!

I am thankful for my callback.

5/24/11 So Quiet

I love newly paved roads. They are so smooth. They just redid the part of the highway that goes from 205 to 14 in Washington. It sure makes that section nice to drive. I always get excited about newly paved sections of road. I think others find me weird but it really is very nice.

I am thankful for newly paved roads. So nice.

5/23/11 Party Hearty

Tonight was the party for all the people who had been involved in shows at A.R.T this season. Jason had worked on "Superior Doughnuts" so we went tonight and mingled with some great actors and fellow people in the biz. I had a lovely time seeing people I knew, meeting new ones, and eating food. Who wouldn't like eating free, delicious food? It was a good night all around.

I am thankful for being able to attend the season party tonight for A.R.T.

5/22/11 You never know

I did not feel prepared for my Acting on Film class tonight at all. I hadn't memorized my lines yet and hadn't had much of a chance to even look over the script. I didn't want to go but I am in 2 out of 3 scenes and I had people depending on me being there. So I went. I ended up having a super great class. I felt like I did really well and was able to get into character and remember my lines more than I thought I would. I think having my costumes really helped me. It was nice to be able to feel good about my work especially after going into it not really feeling that great about the suspected outcome.

I am thankful for my work tonight in class.

5/21/11 That was fast!

I had an audition today that I felt really good about. Immediately after I sang I was asked to come to callbacks this coming week. Hooray! It is always nice to have such a fast response.

I am thankful for being called back.

5/20/11 Flash Mob

Today I had the fantastic opportunity of performing in a Flash Mob. I have always wanted to do one since I saw the first one on You Tube several years ago. For those of you who are not familiar, a Flash Mob is a group of people that blend in to an event as normal participators. They have all learned choreography and at some random point a person will start dancing. Slowly but surely more and more people join in until there is a big dance group performing in the middle of a train station, in the mall, at a company meeting, etc. It is much fun.

Today Channel 12 was having a company meeting at a McMenamins to look at what they had produced over the last year and to announce the upcoming line-up for fall. In the middle of a video they were showing there were "technical problems" as it was trying to be fixed "Walking on Sunshine" started playing over the speakers and one of the waiters started dancing. Then he went over and tried to get someone from the audience to join. She refused to get up and then finally she joined in and magically she knew the choreography. Then more waiters joined in and then the rest of us came in from different entrances and surrounded the room in a fun dance. I think they really enjoyed it. I know all the participants had a super fun time. My dear friend Erin Shannon choreographed the dance and she did a great job. What a fun day!

I am thankful to have been able to participate in the Flash Mob today.
