Edgar alerted me to this posting of the fancier color version of my commercial, thanks Edgar! I’ve been totally swamped by things this week, and my stress level is so high I accidentally posted a “poop twitter”, that I promptly removed shortly thereafter 🙂

Suffice it to say, I’m relieved that the strike is over, although how good it is for the writers remains to be seen. I, for one, see it as somewhat of a dubious deal as far as residuals for online content go, but who knows, I glaze over at percentages and all the technical jargon (which is great for accounting :O). I’m a “someone blog it in simple terms for me so I can be outraged” kind of girl. Interestingly, by their new definition a WGA-qualifying webisode has a budget of 15k a minute, so “The Guild” is so safe from that it’s hilarious 🙂 People who are doing webisodes for that budget, please contact me for acting or writing work, I’m available for that price! 🙂

This week will be swamped with Guild stuff, as well as my role in Zaboo/Sandeep’s webisode, and prepping for a sketch show benefit at The Empty Stage, my improv theatre that’s closing. Anyone in town is invited to come! 🙂

Also, Lisa Shearin, author of Magic Lost Trouble Found (The book I pretty much gushed all over last month), alerted me to fantastic pre-reviews of her sequel, Armed and Magical. Check out the link to it on her great blog, a lovely place to go for writer inspiration. Her email inspired me to prepare a post on all the pre-order stuff I have in my Amazon cart, the books I’m drooling to get my hands on, mostly sequels to great series. When I love it, I have to shove it in the cart or I’ll forget to read it the first day it comes out! Now, if I could only figure out a way to sell all the already-read books in my garage being eaten by crickets…
