October 12, 2009

Today's 12 of 12 is brought to you by clouds and the threat of rain. We Southern Californians crave rain, and today was the first real taste of it in months (nearly a year). It only teased us, though. However, I'm hearing that we're in for two solid days of "real" rain!

Two themes revealed themselves today: first, I seem to send out a FedEx package on the 12th of every month, and, second, I seem to get auditions on the 12th! I had a busy day on this Columbus Day, and those two items were just part of the adventure.

For more about the 12 of 12 project, take a look at Chad Darnell's site!

And the day begins with.... what else??

(I made this myself!)

A glance outside my home/office window reveals a cool, cloudy, New England-y day. I'm a happy girl!

Spent way too much time this morning plowing my way through health insurance applications (trying to find insurance that won't break me every month and yet still give me coverage when I need it).

Oh, dear people of the United States, let the President do his job -- he's trying to make this better!!

12 of 12 theme #1: I seem to have to prep packages to drop at FedEx on the 12th of the month.

Apparently, the dogs can't believe that I'm actually *leaving* for the day.....

Had a craving for a hot dog (hadn't eaten yet today), so I stopped into Wienerschnitzel for a mustard dog on a pretzel bun. Yum.

Headed across the way to the Warner Brothers lot for an audition for "The Forgotten."

If you look back at other 12 of 12's of mine, you'll notice a theme -- I seem to have auditions on the 12th of the month.

Hmmmmm...... How do I make *every* day the 12th?

This is me being stealth -- I was pretending I was texting (down to the laughter at "reading" a text -- oh, yeah, I'm a good actress :) ).

Notice the thumb at the bottom of the picture....

Coulda used one of these to take me back and forth to my car!

Here's the walk into "Warner Village" -- almost at the audition!

(Had a good read -- and FMW is a great office!)

This was a big, beautiful, dark cloud over the hills behind Warner Brothers. Just gorgeous (and it actually sprinkled a little bit on me as I walked back to my car!)

I was not at my 12 of 12 best today -- I kept forgetting to document my activities. From what I've detailed here, it seems that I had lunch and watched the clouds. But I did more -- really, I did!

Besides what you've seen here, I: met a client to deliver a demo reel, went to three different banks, dropped off the FedEx package, got coffee, met and worked with a client at her house, went to an audition (oh, yeah, I *did* document that one!), went grocery shopping, walked the dogs, and went to my sign language (ASL) class.

I'll try to do better next month!
