Curious? Not at all. Really.

There seems to be construction of an interior cabin scene underway. I'm still sleuthhounding the set.

Okay. I will admit to some curiosity as to what is going on OUT THERE, and I did put down my brew and crack the door to get a glimpse. Had a conversation, as well, with one of the grip staff and here's what I garnered.

This is a tale of an unfortunate soul who has been born without a heart. At least, that's what she perceives. Said main character has also been written as an amnesiac, so this should prove interesting. Who knows how many lit bulbs she has in the box.

The Moved, and the Not Improved

A quilt, mind you. We should all instead draw deep breaths from the Earth and buffer up for the outdoors!

Well! In addition to all that has been going on at the lot, this virtual archive has been moved. Welcome to the new and more efficient blog space.

Gentle readers, the situation has not improved. Construction and shooting continues on the set for the 'other' production. My agent says that it is all within the confines of my contract, although I don't remember being paid to be put on the shelf. Have I been optioned? Heaven forbid they cast me in this wretched piece, sans trees and natural surroundings.

Horror of Horrors We Have Been Backlotted

Look Ma, New Hands: Some painted face is being prepared for the main set - and it looks like they are of human extraction.

I have been busy on the phone with my agent because of what has been transpiring here as of late. It seems my promo spots - and my dressing room - have been bumped to a back set due to "budgetary constraints" and "creative differences." Someone else has become king - or queen - of the canopy and they're going to hear it from me.

AND there is so much construction going on at the main set that I've resigned myself almost full time to my dressing room. What’s more, some poor soul is having new hands cast - can you believe it? To think that any puppet with human fingers could compete with my model branches. Stay tuned, dear readers.

First Promo spot for Seedlings Completed

This is yours truly in the dressing room before I had the union in house to ensure wallpapering was completed.

I think it's easy to assume that actors have a glamorous life. That is not always the case. When you're working under hot lights which are in fact very unlike the noon day sun, and having your make up touched every hour, which is nothing at all like a dust storm, then you really have to take a look and say, 'Is this really worth it?' And of course it is. The gratification of performing and what it gives to the audience makes it worth it.
