LA Adventures

My friend Jamie reminded me to update my blog. With everything that has been happening I forgot to document my life.

So let's see...what have I been up to?

I've been moving into my new apartment with a friend of mine from college. It's a lovely little 2 bedroom apartment with a lot of room for the 2 of us girls. The apartment building is a small one and the neighbors are extremely friendly. We have many, many squirrels running around all the time. The best part is the location: when I take out the trash I get an amazing view of Hollywood Hills. When I drive down the 101 I get a gorgeous view of city lights. I'm close by two freeways and only 15 minutes away from Hollywood. Ventura Blvd (which is the big street with lots of shops, restaurants and everything else) is only one street away.

The downside of moving to LA? The infamous traffic. It's a given to stay away from freeways from 3-8pm (rush hour) and from 7-10am (morning rush hour) but sometimes out of nowhere there will be extremely heavy traffic at 11am or 12pm. 511 is now my go-to call when I get in my car (for you non SoCal'ers 511 is a traffic hotline).

I've only been here a week and I'm just getting settled in, but now I feel this longing to really explore LA. There are just so many different places and cultures here. It's endlessly fascinating.

Acting has been slow. I've talked to several of my acting girlfriends who are of the same type with different reps and they seem to be experiencing the same thing. So though we're in the midst of pilot season, I guess there isn't much demand for high school/college students right now in casting. Disney and Nick have cast their pilots already and other shows tend to want older or younger actors (think families) rather than college students.

Speaking of Nick, this promo has been airing on Nickelodeon

I think that's all I have. Love you all dearly
