Busy...busier...busiest

Well I've come to the quick realization that a daily blog is not always going to be do-able.

Mainly because the days since my last blog have had "whirlwind" written all over them.

So, just a slight amendment to my resolution (not breaking it, just tweaking it), is that I will write as often as I can barring lifes little or big surprises as is the case this time.

Life's most recent surprise was nothing short of great though.

On the last day of my son's 2-week winter break I decided to finally get his headshot and resume out to a few LA agents to see if we could interest someone in representing him in the crazy world of modeling / acting.

I had been formed on many occassions that this was the first and probably the easiest step, the next, the waiting would be the hardest.

Absolutely none of the agencies I submitted to had the time or inclination to send back anything in a SASE, so I really had to reconcile with the fact that after a few weeks or a month of hearing nothing it was probably going to have to be considered a "thanks but no thanks" response, so imagine my surprise when three short days later (Monday) I got a call that an agency wanted him to come in for an on camera audition that Thursday for possible Talent representation.

The whirlwind was on...they wanted him to have a monologue memorized, so the first step was finding one, which luckily we did the next day at a Barnes and Noble.

It constantly amazes me to watch me son do what he does when it comes to the acting, he's seven but he picked out by himself and memorized the one he liked doing the best...simply amazing.

By Thursday he had it down to a tee and to top it off he was cool as a cucumber. I don't really remember being seven but I 'm pretty sure I wasn't as "unafraid" of public speaking as he is.

Needless to say Thursday was here before you know it and we got to LA a couple hours before our scheduled time and just chilled as he read the book the "Spiderwick Chronicles" to me.

Having only the experience of his free-lance agency to go off of, I was pleasently surprised by the office of the agency we were at now. It was very professional looking and had a receptionist and everything.

It also appeared to be running smoothly, something I never saw happening at my son's freelance agency.

My son was given a commercial side, which he also memorized on the spot - I do not know how he does that :) and before we knew it he was back with the agent and doing his thing.

When they came out she told me he was "awesome" and that she would be in contact with me on Monday. I can only assume at this point that means she is going to want to rep him.

If that is the case it would mean no more background work, just primary roles. The other good thing is that she might also be interested in repping him for print work, which she hadn't previously mentioned on the phone.

Anyway fingers crossed for Monday.

This writers strike needs to stop now, all my shows are fast coming to their last episodes :(

I feel for the writers, I do and I think their complaints are beyond legitimate. It's just so sad to think no more shows for a while.

The last episode of "Grey's Anatomy was good and heartwrenching like always - poor Bailey, maybe she should just marry the chief at least he understands her life. I love Bailey's husband though he's a good man. Meredith...what can I say she is just never going to figure out Derek and he is never going to figure out her. I feel pretty disappointed about the whole Izzy and George thing - I mean they had such a wonderful relationship and now they have zilch. I don't really care about the whole Dr. Hahn and Dr. McSteamy thing, I guess I'm just not buying it.
Meredith's sister is growing on me - I love that she ate the eggs regardless of her allergy, but I do not want her taking Izzy's place with George. Izzy and George need to figure it out and get that elusive factor and chemistry they had back! And poor Christina with out Dr. Burke she really has no story line to speak of.

My other highly anticipated show return was "One Tree Hill" and it was really very enjoyable.

I feel for Nathan and Haley more than I ever have and the new addition of their son Jaime is a welcome one, he's a cute and very smart kid and I love all his relationships with the various characters.

I can understand Peyton trying to start a label from Tree Hill a little bit, but Brooke running her agency from Tree Hill seems to suspend the realm of belief for me. Successful or not the epi center of Fashion is New York and Los Angeles....big cities, not tiny Tree Hill.

I actually like Luke and Lindsey together and feel sorry for her already because she is obviously just being viewed as a stumbling block in Luke's path back to Peyton ( a relationship I never understood, thought he was perfect for Brooke).

Mouth needs to seriously get some cool back he looks way, way geeky - he was way more cool in high school.

I like Luke and Skillz as coaches taking over Whitey's legacy. Haley as a teacher makes perfect sense. I was glad when she took the power back, the wimpy Haley was in no way reminiscent to me of the strong Haley we left four years back.

I think that "One Tree Hill" writers have done an exceptional job of breathing fresh air into a show that needed it to keep the fans watching.

Monday starts my writing class again...Yes!!!

Now it's time to start my weekend. Hubby is home both days this time so it should be a lot of fun hanging out with him and our dear son.

Later,
