Just a small town girl, livin' in a lonely world

I just thought of another great use for my blog!

I will use it every time I want to call my mom and be negative about something in Los Angeles. Then you all can hear about it and she can go about her day unaware that I am angered!

Although, she may read this....

Anyway having said that, today's topic is: TAPE

At the post offices in Los Angeles, YOU have to pay for the tape THEY use in order to make sure the package you are sending is securely shut.

Next topic: THE BANK

At the Bank of America in Los Angeles, they cannot give you money in exchange for your loose change. Instead you must take it to a coinstar machine halfway across your area code which then proceeds to keep 9 cents for every dollar you have inserted in the machine.

Not to mention the ridiculously high over draft fee of $35.00 which seems to be taken out of your bank account (sometimes twice in one day) at complete random, even when there is money in the account...

Moral of today's story. I miss Iowa State Bank and The Fairfield Post Office. No one will ever understand my needs quite like you do.

I found the light in the tunnel at the end

I haven't posted in a long time. I got accused of being too self absorbed by having created this blog and it threw me for a while, but I'm back and I think it's important for me to write about my life out here.

I landed my first real movie job out here today. I had an audition last week for a film called "Locked Up." No it's not a spin off of "Knocked Up." It's actually a serious film about 5 women in prison and what they deal with on a daily basis. It has the potential to be incredibly raw and gritty with a message in there somewhere...

I'll get paid SAG wages and recieve SAG credit (whatever that means) even though I'm not SAG.

Besides going on about 1-3 auditions a week and having not landed any of them until now (yet, only recieving positive feedback) I've been doing background work. I never gave an update on what shows I've worked on so here it is:

Maybe someone will see me someday!

Movie: Mrs. Washington Goes to Smith
TV: True Blood
Movie: Operating Instructions
Movie: Warrior
TV: CSI Las Vegas
Movie: Family Wedding
Movie: The Roommate
Movie: Get Him To The Greek
Print: University of Pheonix
TV: Greek
TV: Criminal Minds
Internet: Hammertime Dance

Life is great out here. The weather is always nice, the people are nice, I've met some truly incredible friends whom I love dearly and Ben and Pumpkin don't think it's half shabby either.

=)

Much love,
Sara
