Coming to a Very Small Screen Near You!

Things are moving so fast! Day before yesterday, the Girl From Texas got herself a part in a student film being done at USC. It was just one scene, but it sounds like it was a good one. She said she looked good on camera, which was something she's been worried about, since sometimes the lens isn't all that kind to her. And, best of all, everyone was nice, and it was fun. I've seen a couple of stills from the shoot. Can't wait to see the actual footage. She knows she needs to do tons of these - plus some indys - before she can seriously attract any representation. She's off to a good start.

And then last night, she moved into her new apartment! It's in an "iffy" neighborhood, across the street from MacArthur Park. There's some online propaganda about how this neighborhood is beginning to undergo rebirth and gentrification. Lord, I hope that's for real! She spent the night on the floor of her new place and is excited as hell about getting moving on this next phase of her life. It's a most humble start. After all, any good artist (or should I spell that "artiste?") has to make sacrifices. Right?

Me? I'm settling into it, too. My stomach doesn't churn every time the words "Los Angeles" pop in and out of my brain. I will consider it a very good thing when the words "Los Angeles" stop popping in and out of my brain entirely.
