New Headshots!

So as I am on my way up ever so slightly. What with a new agent and that I thought it only best to get me self snapped again. Get some variety I was thinking to myself. My present headshots are a bit dull really and I'm very limited with them to be honest. Plus I'm smiling and that's a big NO NO! So yeah Saturday I went down to the Blakemore photography studio and got me self snapped away for the morning. Fun! I don't have copies of the photographs yet but will do soon. So I will let you all have a mooch at them some time soon.

Boogie Nights 2010

Well that came around quickly. Too quickly infact. So yeah . . . Tonight Boogie Nights re-hearsals start. I am quite excited as we have a new director and loads of new members apparently. So it should be really good to get back. Plus I'm really looking forward to getting back on the Grand Theatres stage! :-) Whoop! Missed it! Oh and no doubt there will be some crazy antics through out re-hearsalas as there always is. Chamapgne and the like! haha! :-) I will let you know dates and that if you fancy coming along to watch. It would be great to see you all there! :-)

I won! I won! I Only Bloomin Won!

So I jumped into my Dad's car this morning to go to work when I heard on the radio "Only 5 minutes left to get your answers in?" when I asked Dad what the competition was for he told me it was to win Two tickets to the local Wolves game this weekend. Wolves V Stoke. I am not a maspeh football follower but I do like to get the low down. Plus it is a favourite past time as a kid for me. Off to the match every week with my Dad. So, I thought I would give it a go. But deep down I knew that the winner had probably already been chosen what with only 5 minutes to spare. But how wrong was I!?! I had a phone call back within minutes and I was live on the radio claiming my prize. Well Shocked! Shocked indeed! Wonderful though. I'm quite excited to go along. Me and the Fiancee will be going along to support our team this Sunday Wahey! Give us a win then lads! :-)

So a big thank you to the Wolf radio station 107.7. I will let you know how we get on after the weekend.

It Was Bank Holiday And I was Gone For Like ... Ever!

Sorry guys. I am fully aware that I had just dissapreared off the face of the earth over bank holiday. I was quite busy those few days. Many apolagies sent out if you were waiting for me to post and I let you down. Super sorry.

I have one thing to say to you all right now.

"I hope you had a really great easter folks!!!"

Hope you didn't eat too many of these bad boys (above) infact, tell a lie. I HOPE YOU DID! because. . .  isn't that what you do at easter. You eat! Loads and loads hahah! seriously, I hope you had a gooden!

Any way . . .  If you look above, this is what I have been busy doing this bank holiday. That's right I have been working with Urban Voice limited on a Project for Walsall Council called Map My Journey. It's all about people using services that the NHS provide and telling us their opinion on them. It was a really good couple of days actually. I had a good time with them. Took a while to get set up and then to pack down to but all worth it. It was quite good to hear people opinions on different services that are available eg: Stop Smoking, Weight loss, Excercise etc.

We set it up in such a way that we filmed the public in a "Diary room", We recorded their voices in "Sat Nav" style and we took photographs of them with signs they had created with their own artwork. Along with filling in questionaires and of the like. With all this different information and different styles a website is being created to share these opinions. That will hopefully be up and running soon, so I will pass that address on as soon as it's live.

Check out Urban Voice Limited here: www.urbanvoice.co.uk

Another great thing about the last few days is I absaloutley pigged out on flap jack! Oh lordy, far too much of the stuff. Apparently meant to be healthy for you. But, can't be, not when you eat a whole slab of the stuff! hahah!

Anybody Fancy Purchasing A Pair For Me?

Any body up for it? Now listen. They really aren't too expensive. Oh no I'm just joking but seriosuly I just had to mention these bad boys in my post today. Check them out! How cool are they? Now I know they arent going to be to everyones liking. That's cool but you cannot deny the amazingness of them can you? Seriosuly? Well Now I have shared my love for these polka dot pants I must ask ones opinion.

Shall I purchase these lovlies or not? Let me know guys. I'm stuck

I love them toooooooo!

Pointless post? Meh!

My Dog

Me and Blue boy, our Weimarana

Bizarre topic to be speaking about, I know. But seriously my dog is great. I have decided to dedicate this post to him as I have spent the majority of the morning calming him down at the vets. As he appears to have a bit of a tendancy for eating things, you could imagine our worry when he fell ill last week. Our first thought "Oh my word he has eaten a corn on the cob again!" You see, to help you understand that last sentance. 6 months ago he had to have an operation to remove a corn on the cob from his bowell.It's true I'm not lying. It would appear that behind our back our dog tucked in to a KFC variety box and failed to digest or even chew the corn side order. It was a real worry as goodness knows how long it had been jammed in there and what it was doing to him. But one day he became so ill that an emergency op had to be performed and to our suprse "SWEET BLOOMIN CORN!" Shock shock. But now he is all better apart from a minor bowell infection. That's the cause of the vet trip this morning. Much to my relief. So swallow something un-swallowable he did not. Joy! Some antibiotics will do the trick.

Isn't it strange how quickly you form a bond with your pet. No matter what animal it is. If it is in your owner ship and your care then you just fall in love with it. I could not imagine my life without Blue now. Home would not be home without him living in it.

- When I go home after work I love to hear him bounding down the strais, skidding on the laminate floor and smashing into the front door. All that just so he can see me.

- I love how during the night he snuggles up in between us and does anything just to be near us. Even knowing that our ankles are by him, makes him happy.

- He sits and he waits for his food like a true gentlman. You can see him dribbling as he sits there and wait for the command. "It's yours" Goodness, the second he heres those words he bounds face first into his food bowl.

He is just a gentle giant is our Blue Boy and whether it sounds funny or not "I love him!"

Oh and yes Blue does wear a hoodie when he is cold. Keeps him warm (And trendy) of course :-)

Just Refreshing Myself

I was studying my book case last night and wondering what to read, when I stumbled acorss the answer. I thought it was only sense and reason to pull out a certain book that needed to be refreshed in my mind. That was non other than the legend himself "Mr Stanislavski's" book entitled "An Actor Prepares." It wont hurt me to read through this book again and move on to the final two. I think it only appropriate to im-bed them in my brains to be honest. So this is what I am undergoing at the moment. I am under going the Stanislavski theory and trying to get my head around it the best I can. But the 2nd time you read something you gain a much better understanding of its meaning and importance.

Great books by the way.

Also tonight I am off celebrating, once again. But I'm not just celebrating the gaining of an agent I am also celebrating my Engagement Anniversary to my lovely fiancee Mr V. I cannot wait to be honest. I have been looking forward to our celebrations all day. I just know it is going to be a lovely night. I love going out for food with him and just staring into his eyes across the table. He has really lovely eyes you know, big blue ones. :-) Love a love a you!

HAPPY 1 YEAR ENGAGEMENT ANNIVERSARY!!!

 

It's Official And I Am So Excited!

Wam Bam and thank you my Mam. I now have an Agent and I will be honest I could not be any happier. I am over the moon. All the time and money spent on CV's, photographs and postage finally paid off. I spent most the day down in London, finalising a few things. So let's just say " The world is my oyster" and " I will not let the grass grow underneath my feet." Big smiles on my face right now and they wont seem to go away! But  ... Seriously, I'm thrilled.

After the grusome journey home, that took wayyyy longer than expected we had a little celebration and popped the cork off a bottle of champagne!

More news on the above to come. I just have a lot to sort out myself at the moment. So still stuff to finalise and get done.
