Tony and I went on an impromptu rainy day date last night and finally caught a screening of "Joy," which I'd been dying to see. I loved it. Both of us got a little verklempt at the story of the "American Dream," and left feeling really lucky that we were both raised by parents who told us we could be anything we wanted when we grew up. As we kick off 2016 and I re-focus on how to succeed in the industry I've chosen, this was the right movie to see at the right time and, for me, was as inspiring as it was entertaining. Chasing a career in Hollywood is kind of like being the drunk girl riding the mechanical bull at Saddle Ranch; no matter how many times she gets thrown off, she still hobbles back on for more. (Not that I'm speaking from experience or anything...) According to Albert Einstein, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results; and yet, everybody in this town wakes up every day thinking, maybe this audition will be different. This screenplay will be different. This blog will be different. So, I liked watching a movie about a girl who was chasing a dream and not a man, and would not give up. I strongly suggest you play hooky from work and go see it. But, if you can't do that and are still looking for distractions, here are the other things making me happy this hump day... HAPPY WEDNESDAY! It's closer to Friday than not!View Article

My holiday dreams of living in sweatpants, showering minimally and reading (and boozing) non-stop came true! While Tony was off shredding the mountains of Tahoe, I was shredding the bag of books I hauled up to northern California with me while making a permanent dent on my parents' La-Z-Boy. IT WAS HEAVEN. I finally finished last month's Book Club pick, "Fates and Furies," which was epic and gorgeous and sosososo good. (If you haven't read it yet, get on it.) Here's everything else I devoured over the holidays...View Article
