No, I’m not having a baby.
Okay, well maybe my career baby. I’M HAVING MY CAREER BABY.
Let me explain.
I was realizing while talking to Dani on the phone two days ago that in exactly 6 months time, I will be a resident of Los Angeles. It hit me then how rapidly time is moving and that… yes… holy SHIT, I’m doing this!! I’m moving to LA!!
Here are some things I want to accomplish in the next 6 months:
~Have at least four months of Silverlake rent in the bank (I am almost half way to that goal already, wutuuup?!).
~Schedule meetings with potential theatrical agents (perhaps fly down a month before I move for meetings?).
~Have a job lined up in Silverlake/Echo Park area (or a job that I can do remotely).
~Record an album with my brother.
~Have the ultimate Portland summer filled with food carts, Forest Park hikes, SE Portland esplanade runs, The Big Float, binge on Voodoo Doughnuts and Lonesome’s Pizza, and just like… have the city of Portland barf all over my face. Perhaps I’ll even throw the Naked Bike Ride in there. I want to OD on Portland before I leave.
Also–true to Britt and Dani fashion these days–I am posting my weekly post a day late again. DEAL WITH IT.
…Exactly.
(Also, can I say on a side note how much I LOVE the show Girls?! Lena Dunham is a genius and I want to hang out with her. Lena, please contact me so we can be friends and make sweet sweet art love together. Thank you.)
Anywhoo. This is what has been keeping me busy the past seven days:
My Week:
As you may recall from my last post, last Monday was my last official day at my day job until after the film wraps (so… five weeks from now). This is the first time I have taken a hiatus like this and I sure hope I will have a job to return to afterwards…!! LEAP OF FAITH LEAP OF FAITH. !!
But umm.. helloooo dear Britt… you are now transitioning into a new way of life. How awesome is that? At this point in my life, about 50% of my income is from acting or other creative work. Holy crap I have come a looonnng way! And I am going to continue in this direction, damn it. I hope this good fortune continues (and if my dear friend Susan Miller is right, it WILL). I am equal parts excited and scared at all times these days.
In my time away from the office this week, I prepped for Birds of Neptune, stayed up late, slept in, ate well, rehearsed extensively for Crumbs, shattered my iPhone screen, couch-surfed, had a couple emotional meltdowns (I’m a Pisces, don’tworryaboutit), had my parents visit from out-of-town (we had a lovely time), saw a Hey Marseilles show (LOVE those boys), and tried to get my head on straight. It was awesome.
Speaking of Crumbs and my amazingly talented friends Amir Shirazi and Avial Shira, the workshop of the musical sold out for both performances this weekend! Thanks to my wonderful friend Max Maller, we have some photo documentation of this event!
That last shot is of Amir, isn’t he sexy?! Seriously. Stop it, Amir (but don’t).
And finally… as everyone scrambled to get the last pieces of the puzzle fitted in time for shooting day one of Birds of Neptune, I got my Rachel hair:
…And I am officially in Birds of Neptune land.
OMG BLUE HAIR!!
OMG 6 MONTHS TIL LA!!
OMG I LOVE YOU GUYS!!
For real,
