I tried out, passed the test and got on the show. The test is only 20 questions long and pretty easy. I recommend this to anyone. Free money is awesome!

It’s not all glamor and romance but it works out just fine ;)

It totally landed in my lap but I got my first extra waiver on the new Woody Allen movie! I answered a random ad on Craig’s List of all places, that actually turned out to be legit, and got a waiver because I looked “rock and roll”. Two more and I can join SAG! I was also thinking about going the AFTRA route, but it seems that I need an agent to get roles large enough to make me eligible for SAG after that first year. I’m going to give it the summer to get my other two vouchers and then re-evaluate ;).

So in an effort to be less jealous, I took several different approaches. I think it depends how you go about doing this. The times that I convinced myself to be less jealous through not CARING as much, I think had a negative result. The times I worked hard to be rational and trusting, I think were much more positive. I found myself doing both, but in the end I do feel a little bit less passionate about my relationship—hopefully, in a more liveable likeable way. I don’t know. I have sensed a change in myself and I am still completely in love with my fiance (marrying him in a month!) and still absolutely certain that I was meant to be with him. But there has been a shift. I have accepted that we don’t just exist in our own little world of two. I can’t expect him to want that, and I don’t know if my lifestyle would allow it anyway—“it” being that ability to sort of give into jealousy, worry about it, apologize for actions of my own etc. I feel more secure but less connected if that makes sense. I think it’s better in the long run.

I still have to put a few extensions in for styling purposes, but my hair is officially long and luscious! I personally love having long hair! It makes me feel more feminine. I dig it.

Over the weekend. It was fun and seemed easy enough. We’ll see if I measure up—haha. Honestly though, having spent the subway ride home talking to this other guy who also took the test, I was a little freaked out by the type of people that are attracted to goals like this. He seemed frighteningly focused on whether he passed or not and which answers he missed and “quantifying his intelligence” as he put it. I’m starting to reconsider how important this should have been to me (although it wasn’t really that important to begin with). Stll, maybe I shouldn’t have bothered . . .
p.s. I PASSED. Ha ha. They sent me a card and so far it has at least made for an interesting conversation piece. That’s about it though. It really helps nip that “blonde bartender” stereotype in the bud though.

LOTS of prep work makes it a pretty tough thing to do at home regularly, but i guess if you’re really into sushi it would be a skill to know. I had a great time, learned a bunch of different types of sushi to make and how to prepare the ingredients. FUN. My class was a bunch of really weird people though with a penchant for boring weird small talk. Over the two hours or so that the class lasted, I must have explained “so how did you find out about this?” about five times. It was a little strange. Still, it was fun.

I had no choice but to learn because the only car that was available for me to take to work was a stick. It took me an hour to drive twenty miles the first time because I stalled so much. Some people even had to pull over a give me a push to get me started. It was so embarrassing! First gear is the hardest—once you get that, you’re set. I learned in a REALLY old clunker too so it was tricky—if you learn in a newer car, it’s much easier. Finding reverse can also be a problem, but it’s not that bad once you get the hang of it. After you’re good, it’s like driving a space ship! You’re totally in control and can burn all the other cars on the road :).

Well, I’m a bartender, so it was tough for me. It really made me realize how much of my life centers around drinking. I basically didn’t go out for a week. I didn’t feel much different physically, but I was proud of myself for the will power it took.

I had to wake up mad early to get to the bull, which was only in the city for two days for this Health Fair thing, but I finally made it. It was glorious. I totally got thrown off! Best time ever and much harder than I thought it’d be!

My husband’s old t shirts are now super hot original one of a kind made to fit just me shirts! I’m proud of myself! :)

Well, it was rough :). I misread the recipe and switched the egg whites for egg yolks. It 2was interesting to say the least :). I’d try again though—I kind of have to since I bought cute little individual souffle cups for this specific reason! Plus it only half counts since I made it wrong—it was decent though, flavor wise. Consistently was just not right. I made an AWESOME chocolate sauce to go with it though. OH MAN. it was awesome

Nothing’s more awesome than fresh baked bread! I made bangin chili to go with it too—the bread could have used more salt and I was seriously worried at pretty much every step of the way because I didn’t think it was going to rise right, but I think it worked out well :). My man was psyched at least—I’m like a goddamn Betty Crocker.

ha ha. obviously :)

I have to stop and take pics. Some are available for viewing in the blog section of www.runrunriot.com. Yeah!

I got wasted. No I didn’t hallucinate. Make sure you get the real stuff and no the novelty stuff. I got mine in a Czech strip club (well, most bars in Prague seem to have naked women dancing in them so I don’t know if it was a strip club or not). Really good and worth the trip to an AWESOME city.

I am in the process of convincing my husband to apply for Italian citizenship through his mother and then finnagle my own way into becoming a dual citizen as well. Probably going to get really complicated, but oh well. Easy travel, work options abroad, health care, and FUN make it worth it.
