Selfish

I can not believe I neglected to mention Haiti and the horrible devastation they are going through. Mother Earth is very powerful. We must remember this. My heart goes out to all of those that have to suffer, and I am so happy that so many are choosing to help, either by donation, or by being there in person.
It is incredible the amount of funds that have come in through mobile donations. Verizon wireless is donating dollar for dollar all donations that come in from VZW customers. Texting "Haiti" to 90999 will donate 10 dollars to the Red Cross for the relief fund. Other companies are also accepting donations- here is how you can donate to them:
Text: "Yele" to 501501 to donate 5 dollars on behalf of the Yele Foundation, the leading contributor to rebuilding Haiti. This is founded by Wyclef Jean.
"Haiti" to 20222 to donate 10 dollars to the Clinton Foundation for Haiti Relief.
"Haiti" to 85944 to donate on behalf of the International Medical Corporation.
"Haiti" to 25383 to donate 5 dollars on behalf of International Rescue Committee.

Some good news? In less than 3 days, more than 300,000 Vzw customers have donated more than 3 million. As of 11am today, Verizon Wireless has reported that the sum of all donations by mobile total 9 million, which is by far the 'largest day in the history of Mobile giving'.

Thank you to all the people that have donated and sacrificed for the ones in need. I am sure they appreciate it more than you can imagine.

Big week

It's a big week for a lot of people- like the whole Tonight show debacle...


Have you been keeping tabs on this? I haven't really, but it seems as soon as I log online Conan, Kimmel and Leno are being pushed in my face. Luckily for me, it's entertaining. Unluckily for Conan, it's annoying, disrespectful and probably pretty unexpected/unbelievable. I really feel for entertainers. It's so rough, and putting years and years into a show and then being treated like a low rated show is pretty ridiculous. :/

Here are some links if you want to read anything about it....

If not....here is my week.

I have a photo shoot for a health and wellness magazine/website this Sunday. I get to do a small blurb that will be featured on the site too-- I'll provide links when it is out :)

Tuesday I am working with the Phoenix comic con on some videos - yay!

I may be shooting with the amazing Pierre Price Monday or Wednesday and will be filming part 2 of a mockumentary in there somewhere as well. Add to that driving to Burbank for an 8 hour master comedy class with the immensely talented Jason Alexander, and then packing for my 3 week vacation and that's my week.

I will be EXHAUSTED!!!

Good!! I STILL have been sick. This makes 5 days of waking up with a super sore throat. I was up coughing most of the night which is annoying to say the least!

On another note-- I saw an AWESOME movie last night--- Pirates of the Great Salt Lake. This is a must watch. Grab some beer and get ready to laugh. http://www.piratesofthegreatsaltlake.com/

Have fun!

I'll post pics as soon as I get them.



Also, a great big thank you to Rapid Ice photography for the winter pics!

New postings

I was suposed to go to Burbank this week....which I am sad to report didn't happen.  I very rarely get sick, but it seems I have come down with something aweful.  I woke up yesterday with an aching back, headache and sore throat.  I had a hot breakfast- delicious!- and started feeling a bit better. 
My breakfast was wonderful, and I had been craving it for weeks.  I got an egg white, cheddar, broccoli and diced ham omlete with fresh fruit and a low fat blueberry muffin.  I was in heaven!

I figured this morning I would be on my way, and able to attend 1 of the 2 workshops.  Unfortunately, at 2 am I was doubled over in pain.  The stomach issue that I had been so happy to have been rid of the past 6 months seemed to have returned, and it was not a welcome come back.  Hopefully it is just because my immune system is down.  Ive been in bed all day with a sore throat and cough.  I am very fortunate to have tomorrow free from any and all obligations.  I will be writing more when I feel better.  Thank you all for your well wishes.  :)
You make me smile.
