Band
So I want to start a band...I'm a singer/songwriter and looking to hook up with other musicians from all different influences.
My personal influences are Dylan, Traveling Wilburys, Louie Prima, Beatles (like any musician is not influenced by the Beatles), nirvana, modern lovers, queen, talking heads...the list goes on and on. Basically anything with smart or fun lyrics and a good melody.
So if...

Folgers instant weirdness
Got a call from a girl I used to casually date a while ago. She is moving out of the state and I can't say I was sad to see her go, there is always a reason why you stop dating people, otherwise you'd be married to em, I suppose.
She asked me if I still had the can of folgers instant...

Hey,
I have a new friend! All right! I don't know if anyone will ever read anything I write but I'll try it for a little while and see what happens.

Hey! I just read your post in the E.I. group and wanted to say hi. I will be out of town all of Feb and a bit of March (doing a movie in Charlotte, NC) myself, but there's a little group of us here on SG who are working film pros, if you want a few eople to meet for while you're here. Some of them are in my friends list, if you're curious...
I have heard in the past about actor housing. I'll ask around when I have a chance and post to you if I get any info...
Gimme a shout, happy travels, and good luck with your auditions!

dude, I pass on to you this advice I got from my grandfather:
"Success is a planned accident"
he also expressed it as
"You make your own luck"
May these words serve you....well....better than they've served me.

I'm getting ready to go to LA next month. I'll be there anywhere from 2 weeks to 3 months. Going out for pilot season (which is when most of the new Television pilots for the next season are filmed.)
I'm very excited but also feeling very stressed, it's hard to be in a profession where, even if you excell in your craft it doesn't matter. It's all about getting the right opportunity.
I heard someone say that Luck is the meeting of opportunity and being ready for that opportunity. I feel like I'm ready for it now. Now I'm just working my ass off so that it will "just come along."
And if anyone is reading this:
Hello, how are you?

I just woke up to see the news report that "Actor John Ritter Dead." !
I looked at it for a minute, trying to figure out who it could be, it couldn't be THE John Ritter, from 3's Company fame. But it was.
Once it sank in, I heard myself saying "Oh my god!"
Weird, you don't think that someone who was a sitcom actor,...

I just had a battle with a cockroach the size of a mouse!
I've lived in New York City for a while now and I've seen giant roaches, but I have never seen a roach this big before, or this stealthy.
I hate bugs, I'm like the cartoon lady who jumps up on the chair and screams...

Just like all of you other east coast type people, I have been in the dark (or without electricity) for the past 27 hours, they just turned it on. I do believe my block was the last one turned on in all of Manhattan...
Hope everyone survived...

koleeta:
did you go to any barbeques? or ice cream socials?
koleeta:
actually I was kinda worried at first and then I was jealous of all the fun you new yorkers were having. 
Well, I auditioned for Law and Order today...It was a lot of fun...although thinking about it now, it would have been much more fun if I yelled out "Dick Wolf!" afterwards.
How is it that we send troops into Iraq, but we don't send troops into Liberia where they really need us and want us?
It's one of the only places in the world where they US is looked upon a good and just big brother of a country, the people up till now have loved the US. They have been begging us to come and...

Well, you of course have to realize that Liberia has no resources we could possibly want, and as such the current presidency doesn't care what happens.
I'll say that personally, this is one place where I think intervention would be a good thing, both for Liberia and the way the US is looked at by some countries. But I will also say that our military is strained to the limit at the moment, given that we have troops in Iraq still fighting a war that Bush said we won months ago, troops in Afghanistan, Kosovo, and basically everywhere else we've sent troops since the Clinton administration.
How can we sit back and watch the people of Liberia get killed and not do anything about it? We're about to find out, unfortunately. I assume it will take a lot of guilt and denial.
Edit: The preceding is not meant to justify the actions of the administration, simply to outline them. I don't believe they can be justified.

I have been on a movie freakathon the last week...here's what I've seen (with my ratings)
1. T-3 (eh) Not that great. T-2 a lot better. I liked the sci-fi elements of the story, but the direction was weak and it seemed to parody T2 more than create it's own story.
2. Pirates of the Carribean (Very Good) Johnny Depp makes the movie with his...

YAY for movies!!!!
OK My cousins made me see Legally Blonde 2 and I can't believe they actually MADE that pile of crap! have you seen the first one? it wasn't that bad. I mean the first 30 minutes I thought my head was going to explode from the sheer ditziness of everyone and the "totally"s but after that it actually had some plot and grew on me like Clueless..
but this one was SOOOOO dumb!
And I loved Charlie's Angels...people who say it was horrible try to expect too much of it, but it was a good fun girls-kick-ass movie.
going to see Pirates tomorrow night..woohoo!

Finally got my band together. 4 piece, Singer, Guitar, Keyboards and Drums. Going to start doing covers and work in original stuff before too long.
There, that is the most boring description of a rock band ever.
