You make me want to la la

That title has no significance to anything, I just listened to the song earlier today and now I can't get it out of my head.

Ok, I'm going to try to remember the past two weeks...but we'll see if I can remember everything. Last Friday I worked my first day as an extra on Samantha Who. I'll let y'all know when that episode airs, because I think I'm going to be seen pretty well in one scene. It was at CBS Radford - very cool to see real lots!! It's like a small village at studios...they even had their own Starbucks. I saw the three leads (yes, Christina Applegate was obviously one of them). The day was very long...at the end of the day I had worked 12 hours (but by the time I went to bed I had been awake for a solid 22 hours). But I got a great paycheck - over time, double time, and a meal bump! I met some fun people too, and heard from three different people about Cut Above Casting. Which is the top calling service. I will return to this topic.

I got work for Monday working on Dirty Sexy Money. It was on location in downtown at the city hall - beautiful architecture! But I was so dead that day, that I was happy when they let us go early. Again, met some cool people and the food was really good!

Ok, back to the calling service. Basically, Central Casting is the top extra casting company...but it's so crazy hard to get work because they're SO big. A calling service does the work for you (for a monthly fee). And Cut Above is one of the best because they're very selective about who they accept (they review your picture beforehand), so they're client ratio works to the actors benefit. At the orientation they told us that they turn about 40% away, so I was happy to be accepted. They are also very well known for getting everyone their vouchers in the shortest amount of time. Holla! I joined on Wednesday and I immediately got booked to work on Greek (yay, I'm going to love working on my favorite shows) on yesterday!

We ended up filming on location in Pasadena (which scared me at first, but super easy to get too and so beautiful!) at Cal Tech. OMG, the campus is amazing. So many trees, beautiful buildings, tons of fountains, and little park areas and areas that look like little forest trails.

And now I will leave you with my reel! I also have a new unedited clip from the pilot I did in Maine. I'll post it once I upload it onto YouTube.
