Soooo...I'm in Hawaii. Sorry I haven't posted. Back on Monday!

I just deleted 800 emails out of my inbox. It feels very good.

I took part in the 48 Hour Film Project this weekend. What a crazy fun experience. Unfortunately I won't be able to see the fruits of everyone's labors until much later: I'm totally booked the evening of the screening. Boo. I will see it eventually, though. I'm not going to let my team forget! Ha.

Sleepy. I meant to be asleep two hours ago. Dagnabbit.

is it time to tear my hair out yet?

So, I just got a call that someone saw my Cub spot. On the Food Network. Hrm. I REALLY hope that it was one of those local spots that get aired LOCALLY on the LOCAL cable channels or I will be ill. If that is not the case I will have been violated in one of the worst ways by being paid a non-union rate for something that is being aired outside of the local market.

Now, without getting too up in arms yet, the most likely scenario is that it is just a local commercial (even though the term local seems to encompass St. Louis, MO, as well.) I'll put in a call to my agent and see if that's something I should be concerned about, but in all reality I have no control, and that's the non-fun of being non-union. You have no leverage. You're a dime a dozen and if you raise a stink there are 500 more people who look just like you who'll work for less. Those 500 shrink to 250 by the time you hit 30, and then around 35 your competition may have slimmed to just 50. But in the meantime you get to wait it out in actor purgatory, hoping someone will throw enough money your way to buy you out.

I'm rarely this candid on this blog. No one wants to dooce themselves. But apparently that little bit of ire wanted out.
