Yesterday , the 1st day in the last 7 that I have felt good, I had a photoshoot. I got to go hiking, clim huge rocks and look over the desert. It was so beautiful.
When I got home I caught the tail end of the Grammy's. I had heard that (My favorite!) Michael C. Hall had won best actor for Dexter, so I was more than excited to watch the end of the broadcast to hopefully catch a glimpse of him and his adorable wife Jennifer Carpenter.
In other award news....
Holy Shit-- she sure is beautiful...and I love the dress......but WOW
yup.
On another note-
Photoshoot went well yesterday, I should be followup to Pen Addiction Wednesday and I will be in L.A. Friday.
Ill be posting new pictures soon so stay tuned honey bunnies!
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'.
You can also go online to www.verizonfoundation.org/haiti 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.

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....
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!
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.
We're almost a week through 2010...pretty insane. I have a busy couple of weeks in the near future. On the 11th I am leaving for some workshops in Burbank. I get to work with 2 casting directors (score!), and then have some video work for Cavalry Arms. The "Access Zero" music video is in post-production as we speak and should be out in the next few weeks as well. On the 23rd I get to attend a 7 hour master class with Jason Alexander. We'll see if I come out with some improved comedy techniques.
I almost forgot!!!! My web page is up! http://www.victoriapaege.com/

Happy New Year my friends!! I want to start off with a little video I found today- this is awesome-
I hope that plays for you.
As we approach the new year, I want to reflect upon all the wonderful things that happened this year. I will not make a list of worldly things (the discovering of a new planet, the untimely deaths of many loved actors/producers/icons etc), but rather, reflect upon some wonderful things in my own life. This is probably more beneficial for me than you, but- hey-- you're reading it too :)
This year, above everything, I am grateful for all of my new friends. It is amazing the opportunities that I got a chance to live, but my new and old friends stay number 1. You are all so important in my life and I am so happy to have all of you around. I am most fortunate for you and I thank you for letting me into your lives.
Next, I got to work on my first television show (My Boys- episode 3.9), my first televison movie (Maneater- Lifetime), walk the red carpet (Wolverine Premier in Tempe), work on my first feature film (Piranha 3d) and got posted on the Fangoria and Gorezone websites. Through all of those projects, I met and worked along with amazing actors, directors and FX crew. I couldn't have ever imagined the great things that 2009 held in store for me.
I now belong to an acting studio in Burbank and get to work hands on with casting directors, have my official website under construction, am working with the Phoenix comicon, a new production company, and was in another music video- this time for the band Access Zero.
Phew! busy year!!! I can NOT wait to get moving on 2010! I want to FAR exceed my accomplishments of 2009-- I am JUST getting started.
What were the most important parts of 2009 for you? What stands out the most, and what is the most exciting thing to be ending??
I have learned a lot about myself this year as well, especially what needs to be done in order to get the most out of life. We all have something that we are more passionate about than anything. Talking to a friend on Christmas,we were reflecting on our loved ones lost and what we love most about being here on earth. He said, "Do you know what the definition of 'passion' is? It is what you are willing to endure for what you want most strongly. A strong driving force " For me, loving every minute of life is what I am most passionate about, living for now, not being afraid of what MIGHT happen, taking chances, is what I live for. I am not saying I do this easily, or even every day. I do as much as I am able to though. I threw the word "try" from my vocabulary a while ago. Trying, is not doing, therefor there is no use in the word. I may as well say, I thought about it....but just "didn't."
One of my favorite new people took the jump. Stopped being afraid and just did. He is now living and doing everything that he ever thought possible, and WAY more. If we refuse to believe that things will go our way, then we are making that so. The thing that we all must remember, is that you can never go wrong by doing. If you are waiting for the "right moment," it will never come. Honestly, if everyone thought that way, life would probably be a much more difficult place. It isn't up to me to change your mind, I am just saying what I believe.
I hope that 2010 and many many years after are all very wonderful and full of love, life and happiness for all of you.

With Christmas right around the corner I want to take some time to let you all know how much you are appreciated. I appreciate you taking an interest in what I have to say, looking at the pictures I post, watching the videos I embed, and even leaving me comments telling me what you think.
It means a lot and I thank you all for being here with me and for me during my crazy, fun, fantastic shenanigans. I will be doing a lot of traveling, as I am sure most of you will, also over the next month. I have family to visit, workshops to attend, and even some photoshoots and filming to do (weeee!).
I am going to start working more closely with the Phoenix Comicon (http://www.phoenixcomicon.com/) and making some more videos for you to watch. I will be highlighting guests, vendors and may even have some fun polls for you to participate in. As always, I will keep you up to date :)
If I don't post before----
