At my audition yesterday I had to prepare a fake sandwich for my fake son using fake food. I truly left it all in the room, folks. Then I looked behind me and noticed the wall of the casting office was painted a very bright blue, actually the exact same shade of blue as my shirt- my despised blue button-down shirt that I wear to most of my “mom” calls.

I Must Have Done Something Good
Yesterday, the only work related thing I did was to try to say the word “Abarth” in a sexy way. I was recording a voiceover audition for a demo Fiat Abarth spot that would air in the southeastern quadrant of Transylvania, which I hear is lovely this time of year.

Luckily I had to...

At one point I was standing in line at Home Depot about to buy an expensive roll of burlap weed-blocker that I was hoping to sew into a duvet cover.
