....Daft Punk
Aerodynamic. Digital Love, and of course my fav HARDER BETTER FASTER...
ridiculously talented and inspiring are they not?
Not blogging much cause i'm so over blogging! Aren't you all? Just a bit? I mean everything and everyone are blogging, tweeting, facebooking, my spacing ....for the love of god, can we please mellow out for a minute? I know I have to stay with the times, be current and all of that but it is just insane how digital we are. I get it, I do, but even for me just this one little thing I do feels too self indulgent as it is, let alone the 20 other social sites I could be posting on? I love that I live in this time of technological wonder, however, I am old school at heart. What do I love? Real conversation, a love note or a mix CD made for me :)
I love getting real letters from fans, and I love writing them back! I am a dying breed I think, but I will not give up hope that real human contact, letters and conversations can and will happen!!
Here's to real life, love and all the rest...oh and here's to Daft Punk too...

Pictures. of. Life. Experiences.
16 August 2010
crossed off "seeing the Mississippi with my own eyes" from the list of things to do in life today.
came across some cool graffiti in the process. Only this one day off...so it's a pretty cool thing to say I did....

Baton Rouge
05 August 2010
What a crazy month! Helped kick start the second season of LUX and then just mad busy running around...Flew out of LAX Tuesday to get to my next set in Baton Rouge Louisiana!! so amazing to come to the south...it's so cool. Incredibly hot, I've never experienced heat like this, not even in the summers in Tokyo...it's 104 in the shade! Heavy hot air, but I don't mind it. Then out of no where yesterday the craziest storm came right up behind us! It was a mad dash to get gear cast and crew to shelter and we sat in the middle of the storm for over and hour until it was safe to get into cars!!! It was amazing...scary, and fun. The only thing grounded to duck under was the pick-nick table area which was open on all sides...wind and rain comin in, thunder and CRAZY lightning...weird clouds too. It was insane.
It's still storming but we're in studio today so we can keep shooting around the weather...
take care Y'all....

An amazing event

I have to say thank-you very much to the Matt Leinart Foundation for hosting such an incredible event in Los Angeles the other day. It was great to be invited to participate and donate to such a wonderful cause. Take a look at the link to see what a few of us had to say, and visit the Matt Leinart Foundation website to learn more about this wonderful charity!

Just fun stuff!
27 June 2010
So much fun stuff going on! Work is amazing, and summer is great. Spent all of Saturday boating which is by far one of the best ways to spend a day ever....going out again next week, and the away for the long weekend. Living by the ocean-- a boat is a must. I wish I was in one place long enough to actually get one...soon I hope.
Jazz fest going on right now, and tons of other stuff. World cup has the whole city in party mode so what more could I ask for! I start filming my next show in just over a week, so I am fitting in as many activities as I can until then....
love to y'all...xoxox

Clumsy
26 May 2010
song of the moment....OUR LADY PEACE
CLUMSY
Throw away the radio
Suitcase...Keeps you awake
Hide the telephone, the telephone
Telephone in case...You realize that
Sometimes your just not OK
You level out, level out, level out
It's not alright now...You need to understand
There's nothing strange out this
You need to know your friends...You need to know that
I'll be waving my hand
Watching you drown, watching you scream, quiet or loud
And maybe you should sleep
And maybe you just need...A friend
As clumsy as you've been there's no one laughing
You will be safe in here, you will be safe in here
Throw away this very old...shoe lace
Tripped you again
Try to shrug it off, shrug it off, shrug it off
Sow the skin now
You need to understand...there's nothing fake about this
You need to let me in...watching you and
I'll be waving my hand
Watching you drown, watching you scream, no one's around
And maybe you should sleep
And maybe you just need...A friend
As clumsy has you've been, there's no one laughing
You will be safe in here, you will be safe in...
I'll be wavin my hand...Watching you drown
Watching you scream...Quiet or loud
And maybe you should sleep
And maybe you just need...A friend
As clumsy as you've been, there's no one laughing
You will be safe in here, you will be safe in here
Back to work....
FACEBOOK REMINDER
10 May 2010
Hi friends...Ok ,so I just noticed that again some of my friends and family are writing on a facebook wall that is not me!! They are wonderful fan pages that someone has made for me (thank-you) but I personally have no connection or ability to write any of you back on these sites...it's NOT ME! So please don't take it personally if I'm not writing you back -but I can't! And anyway I'm not into social network sites, so you have to get in touch with me the old school way- okay!!
Love you all...xox

On my feet
27 April 2010
I have a very talented group of friends over at Native Shoes. Amazing style, fit and comfort. They are all I will have ON MY FEET this summer.
Thanks to my friends over there for hooking me up with samples...I love my new kicks.
Here is a photo of my feet in my living room, sporting my two new colors of the "miller" style. Baby blue and black.

Down time=Slow cooking
26 April 2010
I am enjoying some "down time" while auditioning and planning new projects..It just "happens" to be play off season and yes, the Canucks won, yet again, and are now going to the second round...bye bye LA....besides watching every game, I am obsessed with Slow Cooking. I got it for Christmas and it is amazing. Today I got up early to put together "maple bacon corn chowder". OMG it smells so good, and it is all from scratch...even the maple bacon was slow cooked (in the oven) before adding it all together in the pot. I am so proud of myself!! Cooking is VERY new to me, but I am really enjoying it!!
While that deliciousness slow cooks -I am off to the dog park, car wash, gym then home to eat this amazing chowder! And tonight, I am getting crazy and making "maple bacon chocolate chip cookies" yes, you heard right, and I can't wait to try them. Salty and sweet...I have to take the first batch over to my brothers place, now that I told everyone I'm making them, I have to follow thru...doing this all now before I get too busy again...

Had some good times in Toronto despite the freezing weather....
One of my best friends owns the beautiful Jonathan+Olivia Boutique in Toronto so on my one and only day off, I spent the day shopping a hanging out with her at her store. I took the street cars and subway all around...it was so fun. I love adventures in new cities. Public transit is pretty fun most of the time. It can be funky but that's what I love about it. I get stopped alot from people wanting to talk about shows I've done and what I'm working on, and that's always neat.
Anyway, Jackie and I had such a fun time and it made my time in Toronto so much better! I work so much that I forget to get out and actually see the city I'm in! So thanks Jackie and staff for a great time...!!!

love to all xoxox

Just a reminder that I do not have any social networking sites. I know there are a couple great fan pages out there that are legit (thank you!) but it's been brought to my attention that a few more Facebook pages have popped up. I have no access to these and am not posting anything on them or any other social site, Twitter, MySpace etc.
Thanks everyone...!
