| | hello there.
hope this finds you all very well. first off, i'm
apologizing once again for my lack of communication with you guys.
there just hasn't been much to update you on. but more importantly, i
can't even begin to tell you how much my heart goes out to all the
victims of hurricane katrina in the gulf coast. for some reason i
haven't been able to manage to tear myself from the tv--- as if
watching the constant stream of coverage will somehow help make it all
better. not to sound like a broken record, but i recommend visiting http://www.redcross.org and making any kind of donation. seriously.
eek. there's no way to make a smooth transition on to something much "fluffier".....so i'm jumping in head first. 
record:
yes, i'm still recording. i had to take a break for "american dreamz"
and just got back in the studio this week. so far, i have 12 songs
recorded. my goal is record around 20 so that i have my pick of the
best. here's hoping that actually happens. right now i'm most excited
about the music i was lucky enough to write with someone i idolize
(lori mckenna). if you haven't checked out her music....PLEASE GO TO
ITUNES and do yourself a HUGE favor. everything from "bittertown" is
exceptional and the song "beautiful man" from "the kitchen tapes" is
beyond breathtaking. anyway, i flew to boston to write with her in may
and was such a nervous geeky fan! she's amazing, her music is amazing,
and i feel lucky to have a little piece of that on my record.
films-
"american
dreamz" wrapped about 2 weeks ago. it was probably one of the best
experiences i've ever had making a movie. i loved everyone--cast and
crew--and again feel lucky to have been a part of something so cleverly
crafted. i also found out that i have a hard time not laughing on
camera at some of the other actors. it got pretty bad lol. anyway,
before i really had a chance to relax and enjoy a bit of time off, i
hopped on to another project. i started richard kelly's new movie
"southland tales" last week and while i've been slightly confused at
the whole thing, i've been enjoying playing a slightly crazy character
again. can't wait for you guys to see both films!
etc---
thanks for watching "entourage". it was a fun run.
a little odd to essentially be portraying a fictionalized version of
myself...but hey, why not??? and stop going on and on about my hair.
it's not like i did it. take it up with the hair and makeup people.
geeez. can't a girl who's trying to grow her hair out catch a break??
and ps: yes, i now have long blond hair. it was initially for "american
dreamz" and now for "southland tales". it's kinda cool, kinda annoying.
favorites:
tv--
you
should know that tivo is my life. i guess most reality shows suck me
in. right now, i'm really in to the real world austin and (eeek) laguna
beach. however, i'm completely obsessed with "the comeback". yah, yah,
yah, i'm in the minority but she's just genius. and i can't even talk
about the "six feet under" finale. the most moving piece of tv maybe
ever......
anyway....i'll come back on soon to fill you in on new happenings. thanks guys.
xoxo,
mm |
