new video "Intuition" is finally up on the internet. I found it on Yahoo . I had a small
acting part in it and it was a great experience. So far, though neither me or my friends have
had a chance to tape it so we could look for me. My relatives did say they got a glimpse of
me in a "Making of the Video" on TV.
After that I got a lead role in a horror film short titled "Seldom Seen" via Group101films.com. It was
directed by Vartan Nazarian, and will be submitted to the Monsterfest on AMC-TV . I play a homeless women
who gets mad at some office workers who refuse to help me out. I put a curse on them with horrible results.
It was fun to spend the day dressed up all grubby and dirty.
I have seen soooooo many movies .... theres so many goood films out there right now ! Of course, like everyone
and their brother I was in line opening weekend for "The Matrix Reloaded". Anything with
Keanu Reeves
- he is my absolute
favorite ! I saw it at the gorgeous Mann Chinese Theatre. I also loved "Bruce Almighty" with Jim Carrey
. And "The In Laws" with
Michael Douglas
.
Another great movie I recommend is "Bend It Like Beckham" .
I finally got to see "This is Spinal Tap". They showed it at the Egyptian Theater and I made
a point to volunteer that day so I could see it. I saw it for the first time ever a few weeks
after seeing "A Mighty Wind" . Both those movies are hysteric comic masterpieces !
The local Borders Bookstore was having a big sale, so I just had to go shopping. It was buy three paperbacks
and get one free. "Shoot Out" by Peter Guber and Peter Bart just came out in paperback, so I got that.
I also got "The Secret Life of Bees" by Sue Monk Kid, "The Nanny Diaries" by Emma McLauhlin and
"Bel Canto" by Ann Patchett.
I have been working on updating my website pages. The Cool Movies pages are totally redone. I joined
a bunch of movie webrings. If you get a chance, surf around.
Now I am working on adding an entire section of my Poetry. I have written poetry/lyrics ever since
I was 10 years old (yikes ! thats a long time). And I am working on putting them up on my website.
They aren't finshed yet so I don't want to provide a link right now. I hope to have them done in time
for the next newsletter update.
Take care and God Bless !

I am also trying to catch up on my reading. I just finished Michael J. Fox's autobiography "Lucky Man" , which is a very
informative and inspiring biography. I am currently reading "The Summons" by John Grisham.
