Revamped Commercial and My Beloved Padres

So I'm leaving an audition yesterday morning and my mother calls to say there's a rumor that the baseball-themed BoA commercial I was in last year is airing once again, but this time the commercial ends with a close-up of my face. While I am stoked to hear this, I don't want to get too excited till I actually see it.

So I go home, and within 5 minutes of me turning the Yankee game on FOX (in that horrific 14 run inning), there indeed is my face all takin up the screen and I AM MAKING A DUMB DUMB FACE. Oh well, I am still very happy and even happier about the checks to follow (it would be nice to pay rent on time for once!) In other sports news, my Padres are kicking major culo right now, in spite of every broadcaster saying that we would be one of the worst teams this year. This is shaping up to be an awesome season and I hope to make it home to San Diego sometime this summer so I can catch a game at beautiful Petco. I am by no means a fair weather fan, my mood is closely related to the day's final score, so if you ever meet me and find me to be not much fun at all, I recommend checking ESPN :)

So that's awesome. And today I auditioned for 2 plays that I equally want to be in, as they both seem to be run by nice, competent people and both plays are extremely well-written...something I have found to not be the norm around these parts. Although it appears I have a streak going of not getting into plays I want to get into :(

But things are still going well! Look for my face during baseball TV breaks and on MTV in that music video, which they tell me will start airing in the next few weeks. Hooraw for these things!

Teaser Trailer for Maconheiro (Awesome Movie I was in)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVTgEkpnPX4

This movie shoot was so much fun mainly because I got my first on-screen death (spoiler!!...?) and got to act with a wonderful gal named Monica and a delicious Brazilian man as well.

This was shot back in November and is the legend of the Maconheiro (tongue firmly and awesomely in cheek). My favorite line is ..."and then smokes the weed out of it!" My indignation is stellar. Oddly enough, I'm not in a lot of things where I speak and you can also see me so this is hopefully the start of a talkie and see-ie career in the pictures. I'm weird.

Also that is my whisper at the end. I think the intent was to be creepy but it just makes me annoyed at myself more than anything.

If you haven't noticed, I can't wait to see this entire movie...and I'm sure you can't either.

In other news you probably didn't know you needed to know, the music video is slated to premiere at the end of this month--look for pantslessness to ensue on your local music television network. If you are too lazy to troll MTV (unlike me), check in with this blawgg and twill be posted here the instant it goes live. I'm weird and have no life.

In casting news, I'm gonna be in a play about a true story of an MIT student who committed suicide by setting-oneself-on-fire-ness. Basically, a heartwarming situational comedy. It's called "T.A.B." and is actually wonderfully written, and as one of only 2 white people in the show, I have to represent!!! TAB stands for Trendy Asian Bitch, and as one who has had more lovely Asian friends than I would dare to count (looking in your direction Thu and Leane), I'm excited to explore the bitchy side of Asians. I lied, I have known one true TAB in my whole life--but she no longer haunts my dreams as our boyfriends stopped being roommates. (Burn!) And even though rehearsals haven't even started yet, my inner pimp needs some stretching. So yes, "T.A.B." is part of the Downtown Urban Theatre Festival (http://www.downtownurban.net/) and is performing ONE NIGHT ONLY on May 13th at 8:30pm.
