P-A-C-K-I-N-G

The last 12 hours have begun. Tomorrow at 8 AM the movers will stand infront of my door and there's still so much shit that has to find it's way into boxes. The kitchen is the fucking worst - and I didn't even have gas - imagine that! But yea, it's going to be fine. Just music on, and working on...

Quizz Puzzle

So, the car I bought is not actually the car I drive, because the car I own is in the garage, while the car I have been driving for the last week, which I thought was mine, because it was handed over to me by the dealer, has been lended to me today by the dealership, till they're getting the car back I thought I was already driving. Confusing right?
Well, believe me I'm confused as well. I don't know anymore if I bought the wrong car, they sold me the wrong car or they gave me the wrong car, but one of those options is apparently right.
Facts are: The car I drive is not actually mine.
Never mind I like it. I'm getting mine on wednesday, till then I have YOGA CAR, but that's a whole different story. Oh LA.

Packing

After we have successfully proven that Marina, Kelsey and I combined are not good in packing my stuff I realized that I'm pretty much on my own, and my stuff seems to multiply by the minute.
Sooo much stuff.
Now when we "tried" to pack, Marina and Kels both managed to break my wine glasses which resuluted in the conclusion that we should drink my wine while I still have glasses, which ended in a lot of Rent songs, which were sung really loudly. My girls are wonderful. By the way, later that day, Mikaela broke another one of my wine glasses, I'm really running out of them. But let's stick to my mothers motto: "What you don't have, you don't have to move" Very true.

THE MASTER PLAN.

I pretty much have a plan. I think that's what that title is trying to say.
But I'm here to let you know something else. I bought a car. It happened last Friday. I dressed like this:

because, I had seen the car online, and I was pretty sure that NOONE would ever sell me that car, not in a million years, so I dressed up, put on heels and went down to Santa Ana. The car was a babe. If you like cars, you'd love this one. It's a 2001 Ford Mustang GT Convertible - It's a fucking babe. I hardly make seductive comments about anything, I've been doing nothing but making exactly those for the last couple of days about my car. Pictures soon. Her beauty needs to be captured in Pictures.
Lots of love.

Blue Balls

So, the Blue Balls has started. Hmmmmmmmmm.... That's about what I can say. I miss it.

Highheels

Okay, attention please, this might be a one of a million thing: I'm going to complain about High Heels. After running around in flats for the last two months, I grabbed my highest shoes today and walked around ALL DAY. Now, I thought that wouldn't be too bad of an idea, since I am used to running around in freaking high heels, but apparently it was. My ass hurts as if I have been working out for a week straight, it's really bizzar. But yea.
I guess that's it.
Good night.

Learning by doing

Be nice to your actors.
If you have stand-ins, be nice to them as well - their job sucks.
Be as organized as possible.
If director or DP, your fustration is nothing the actors should have to deal with.
If you're a producer, talk as little as possible.
If you're a DP, rolling the camera without letting the actors know is sometimes worth pure gold.
Get a good crew, it will be worth the world.
Nothing's perfect, get over it.
There's nothing you can't try.

- I had a 9 hour shoot today. While I was on set for 12 hours, I learned some things. Great things if you ask me. I like being a DP. With some training, I think I could actually be really good. Who knows, life is guiding me.
Enjoy life, it's the only one you've got.

If you believe in Life and the Universe

Just got back from the meeting with Ernest.
Facing the fact that Trent is SAG-AFTRA, I'll be doing a lot of paper work haha, or more Ernest will (YEY to having a Producer!), but everything seems to be moving rather fast now, we might still be able to make the Festival season 2013, which would be amazing. I know great people, the universe is right. July seems to have redeemed itself.
And then there's always music....

My own new identity.

So. I'm moving into a new apartment, I need a new car and a job, preferably HBO, that is my life right now. I'm getting antsy sitting on my ass, it's not good for me. And still I'm doing a lot.
But yea, it kind of feels like I'm getting a new identity. Interesting ey, isn't it. And I can be who ever I want, so that sounds kind of fun. I figured out what and who I want to be, now the only thing that needs to work is someone who says: Yes, I like this, we'll help you with that. Waiting for job replies is very, very not fun. But it'll work. yey! Music helps, so here you go:

I know this is far away, but I am really and truly excited for this (every girl deserves a break from looking for a car).

Finally!

Finally, someone is not scared of airing something like this. This is amazing. Thank you very much.

The joys of adulthood

So, getting into a car accident is not so much fun. Remember my little piece of shit car? Like the one I hated, but at the same time loved so deeply, because it was mine and all his weird tics and things what it did belonged to it and it to me? It's dead. I'm still waiting for it to declared dead, but it's pretty much done.
Good thing I'm in an amazing garage, they handled everything with the insurances and now all we're waiting for is for someone to claim liability. Nice one. At the moment I'm driving a rental. A VW, it's nice, really nice, with like leather seats and working gas and shit, but I still miss my little silver thingy. I know, I'm weird. But yea. I'll miss you my beloved car.

Ahhh! Resume!!!

Ok, Ernest canceled the meeting, time for me to write my resume. You'd think that should be easy, you'd think I'd look good on paper, and I would totally agree, but then again - who good do I really look when applying for an HBO internship? I really want that motherfucker, really really bad. This would be brilliant, I mean everything! Just listen to the sound of it: "I'm interning at HBO" ahh, wonderful. But yea, fucking resume. Whatever, I'll do it. Because i can and because I'm wonderful.
At least I have music guiding me through this insanity...

Busy Bee

Getting ready for a busy day of work. First meeting with Ernest to talk about "Dressed in Black", then we're heading down to Santa Monica for another Flash Mob and later on drinks with some Fringe People. It's what I need. Then Monday Mara's in town, so I'll show her around Hollywood and in the evening we'll go to NoHo to an Open Mic night. Tuesday will then be productive again, I have the whole reserved to talk to Kels about the Web-Series and the short which will start shooting end of July. This is good, it should be, it needs to be. Very nice.
xoxo

Good things to come.

I'm moving, it's decided. A month from now, the wonderful place I have called my home for the last now 2 years, will find a new owner and I will move into something new. A pretty, small, light flooded (!), hard wood floored (!) apartment, not far from where I am now. With Kali. It seems good. Really good. I'm even getting the bigger room, because she wants change. It's wonderful, the kitchen is beautiful! I don't even know what to say. Figuring out how to move would be one thing. haha
It's gonna be good. Very, very good. I'm liking this, a lot. YEY!
Have a wonderful day.
<3
PS: You wouldn't believe how excited I am to finally be able to cook!!!

Finding Marina.

Yesterday night I drove up to Santa Clarita to finally find Marina again, she was somewhat missing since she started dating Matt and I had enough haha so driving up to Santa Clarita last night to cook dinner (yes I cooked dinner) made perfect sense to me. I also saw Alex yesterday. That woman is amazing! She told me something big is coming for me, and it's going to be good. Haha, I'll take it. Now at the moment I'm looking up clean rooms on the Internet to motivate me cleaning my apartment haha, but that's how it works, I think I got the twisted version of Only Child Syndrome "I want what you have", since it works wonders when it comes to clean pretty apartments, but no one I know really has one, so the internet has to do it's part. I should at least live pretty the last month I'm living alone, right? thought so.
I think that was my update.
Live well, live great.
xoxo

Oh 4th of July

This was wonderful, and I don't even know what to say! I think Mikaela summerised the whole thing pretty good:

Flash Mob, tanning on the beach with a ridiculous amount of people, and BBQ with the Davis family, what do you need more? Nothing really. It was great. Next week I'm going to look at the room Roland left behind and then I might move in with Kali YEY
Nice day, wonderful day, amazing.

First 4th

For the first time ever I'll be in the states for the 4th of July. EVER! So, what to do? First of all I'll get up at 6 in the morning to leave at 7 for Huntington. Beach sounds good for me. Why so early? That's still a secret, but you'll know... I promise. Means it's almost bedtime for me.
Ahhh, good day. Thursday I start meeting with people again, Ben Martin, Ernest, all of them, get some things going, that's how you do it. On the 14th Mara is coming into town for a couple of days, my piece of NY YEY!
My to do list is growing an I definitely fell in love with Cat and Fiddle. Sooo many english people. Soooo many of them, it's amazing.
Have a good night, and I'll be back after independence day.
Love

Beauty is everywhere

Advantages.

Sometimes it's a good thing when the past knocks on your door...

Today at 9 AM I got an E-Mail invitation to the pre-screening of Oliver Stones Savages. My last summer at NYFA in New York apparently got me more advantages then I thought it would. 

It IS an Oliver Stone movie and you do go "What?!" when it comes to it's end - believe me you do. I sat in a 250 person theatre and everyone did it haha. I'm not going to review the thing now. If you like Oliver Stone, you'll love this -  And Aaron Johnson's in it. The first time ever all three girls of us agreed on the same man - but damn he was hot. 

We'll let it be for now.

NoHo

Looking at apartments in NoHo makes me happy. I was up there yesterday, and it's just like pretty and I'm liking it and it's good. It really is, so, my plan is to move up there. Away from the Hollywood crazyness, but closer to the studios. And there are some amazing places... Well, it makes me happy:

Back on track.

After this entry, I'm gonna get out of bed and get my life in order. Holidays are good, but there's a time where you have to start again, and that has come now. I'll start with cleaning my apartment and getting my bills settled. It's a good start.
The last week was amazing. My mother was here and we went up to Santa Barbara and it was pretty. So calm. Then Friday night we had our first kind of reunion since school ended, Saturday i went to a masquerade ball and then yesterday I think we hit the peek: Getting up at 9, having brunch at an English Pub, watching the game Spain vs. Italy (I think there were about 5 spanish fans there and everyone else was for Italy, which made my position kind of hard haha, especially since Annie was routing for Italy as well...), then we headed up to NoHo and celebrated Canada Day till deep into the night. It was great. I know lovely and wonderful people, I really do.
So, I think that was it.
Lot's of love.
<3

PS: You have to watch this: Lovely work by Mikaela and Michael. <3
