Death at Sea

I regret to inform you William Shark-speare died.... turns out the instructions the guy at Petco gave me were wrong. And an innocent fish suffered. But never fear, they gave me a new one and the proper way to care for him. I have a good feeling about William Shark-speare the second.


I came to a startling realization today: I am not going to want my friends or family to see the films I am in if I become an actress.....

Sometimes you cannot avoid certain types of characters or plots. And if I get hired to play a murderer or an object of one's affection, it will be awkward to have people I know watch me play these roles. I will have to do them anyway though, once you say no to a director, word gets around and that would be the end of my career.... It's a tough industry, but it is what I want to do. Meaning, I have to face these realities and deal with them.

Here's the catch though, sometimes those roles are your big break or your Oscar winners. Take for instance Titanic. Kate Winslet had to pose nude for Leo...but that was her big break, and look at her now....(there was also that racy scene in the steamy car...)
OR
Meryl Streep in Spophie's Choice. Amazing film, but heart-wrenching. Family and friends of mine will see me up on the screen, not the character. Even if it does win me an ocsar....I don't want my close friends and parents watch me have a love affair, sacrifice my child to the Nazi's and then kill myself.
However, sadly, it doesn't mean I won't do it. If I find a Sophie's Choice, I will pounce on it. That movie MADE Meryl Streep.

All in all, I will be vary grateful if I can find work as a successful working actress, and even go as far as winning an Oscar. BUT, again, don't be offended if I advise you not to see my films. If you really must, I will not stop you. But I will do my very best to, at lease, forewarn you of the nature of my character and of the film.

I'm pretty sure there is a girl puking outside...thaaaat's lovely...not.

On that note, I will change the subject and bit you adieu.
Long day of classes ahead. 7:30-8:15 and 12-4:15..... at least I don't work again until Saturday. And a week from tomorrow we leave for Vegas! Woo-hoo!

Until we meet again,

Bon Appetit!

Basically, don't be offended if I tell you not to see one of my movies, it is for your own good.
