It’s Thursday and I’m Too Tired to Think of a Good Title.

February26

The Oscars were fantastic!!! And so was the party. :)

As usual, I took lots of notes. But, as the subject of this blog warns you, I’m too tired! I’ll just say that I got 19 categories correct–woo-hoo! And then I’ll post a few pics:

No, nevermind. I somehow managed to save them in a different folder than I had intended, so who knows where they are? And I don’t wanna upload them again!

Next time, I promise. :)

I had a voiceover audition for Target.com earlier this week, and have a film audition this Sunday–woo-hoo! Still working on getting to Baz Luhrmann…I have a couple very tine–very tiny–ways that may help. :) I’ll keep you updated.

Lana Veenker, a Portland-based casting director (TWILIGHT, INTO THE WILD, CORALINE) posted this blog today:

Acting and Modeling Scams

Which led to THIS from the FTC.

It’s always good to be wary. Though most of you probably already know this stuff, consider it a friendly reminder. :)

Okay…time to forage for dinner and get caught up on LOST–one of this season’s best shows! (Aside from PUSHING DAISIES, which is now pushing up daisies because no one was watching it! Don’t get me started on that.)

I miss you, Piemaker.

Cannon Fodder is my blog about my Calling and the twists and turns on the road to making it into a full-fledged, full-time, bill-paying career! Occasionally, I’ll veer off-subject, but that’s what you get when you read my stream-of-conscious thoughts. ;)

A bit about me:

I know you’re dying to know my life story, so here ’tis : I grew up an Air Force Brat, living and travelling across the world. Though the scenery changed often, my dreams of being a singer and actress never did. You may have been lucky enough to catch me on my very first National Tour – - my family knew I was destined for stardom when I sang to strangers from my bathroom stall at every rest stop between California and Georgia. It was every bit as magical as you imagine. ;)

At the age of 12, I stepped out of the stall to become one of the first members of the Children’s Opera Group in its fledgling seasons with the Orlando Opera Company. I feel so privileged to have also been in productions in England, Belgium, Germany, India, and several U.S. States. These days, I work primarily in film, TV, web, and voiceovers with the help of my agents. Once I’m a Name, I’ll conquer Broadway as well as the film world!

Living a largely nomadic lifestyle throughout my career, I’ve enthusiastically met the challenges of breaking into new markets and production communities wherever I go. Just consider me Bob Dylan’s complete unknown rolling stone. (For now.) Other interests include afternoon naps, travel, dreaming, history, crazy socks, reading, sheepies, writing, swingin’ on stars, time traveling, the rain, and collecting as much useless information as I can in order to win every game of trivia. You can catch me, on rare occasions, re-creating the magic of my first tour – - cities and dates to be announced!

I promise this will be on the cover of PEOPLE when I win my first Oscar.
