Hey, Internet!
Originally uploaded by AdiaMichelle

I love having an SLR and a tripod and a couple really awesome lenses. When I get a request for a photo for my new teaching job, I can set up an impromptu session and snap away. Granted, the photos don't come out as well as if someone was actually behind the camera, but they're pretty darn good for self-portraits.

Hey, internet: will you do me a favor and head on over to my Flickr page and let me know which one you like best? I'm leaning toward the one I posted here, but more eyes are always helpful.

Thanks, all five of you!

So, some good stuff happening.

The Good Stuff That's Happening:

1. Finally got to visit my sister at her new pad upstate. It's beautiful. She has exquisite decorating taste. And I feel my bowels clench when I think that she pays half what I do for at least four times the space. Ah, c'est la vie, non?

2. There is, at least, the possibility of plans, things that might happen in a Future Time. If they don't happen, I have no idea What Comes Next, but for now, there is the possibility of plans.

3. Some things that I've done in the past (some of them a long time ago), are popping up on the web. Most notably, FADE is on Amazon.com ready for your clicking fingers to purchase it. If you'd like to see the film, it will only cost you $10 of your hard-earned dollars! Check it out, kidlings. Also, I have a small cameo in a music video by a duo called Happy Ending. I run past a fence!

4. Due to FADE being on Amazon.com, I have another imdb.com entry. Guess it's time to put a picture and resume on there, huh?

Working

I was halfway through an awesome blog yesterday. I was writing it on my phone. My phone rang. I lost the entry. I decided not to post one.

I'm writing late today because it's Friday and I have to get up at 4:45 on Friday mornings to go do work study (if I haven't mentioned that before). So, just know that Friday entries may be late or non-existent. Mmmkay?

I am voraciously looking for employment. I ask everyone I know if they know of anything, and I've been at the Actor's Work Program offices almost every day this week. I know that good things will come of all this energy I'm expending, but it's sometimes difficult to remember that when my bank account is hemorrhaging all over the place and I don't have a needle or thread to sew up the wound, or even any of those cloth wads the nurse uses to soak up the extra...

Um.

Yeah.

That metaphor is out of control.

Anyway. I'm looking, but having to be patient, and possibly take less than the ideal. I don't mind making less money as long as I don't hate my life while I'm there. That's not too much to ask, is it?

So if you're reading this and you have an awesome job for me? Drop me a line and I'll send you my fabulous, new, totally renovated resume!

Adia Makes Her Small-Screen Debut!

The episode of Life On Mars that I worked on will be airing TOMORROW. You can play Try to Spot Adia!

(If I don't make it into the episode, at least I'm in the previews. Go watch the Life On Mars promo on ABC! They're the little tiny videos in the player on the right. Thanks for the tip, Stephanie!)

Hey Crest! Hire me!

New shots of me on the tail-end of this photo set. I'm considering using one or two of them as a current headshot. Lemme know here or there which ones you like, please?


*The date is for November 1st so this blog stays up top long enough for YOU to weigh in on the fo-toze.

Still No Internet

Oh, kidlings. I fear that my "free" internet is gone! I hope that this glitch is temporary, but downtime has never lasted two days before. It's usually just a few hours, and then everything is back to normal. Having to wait until I get to the yoga studio or typing on my phone is terribly inconvenient, and I can't post photos. Boooooooo. This stinks.

*********

Currently reading a book called There's No Place Like Here. It's the author's fifth novel. Another of her novels, P.S., I Love You, was made into a feature film. She's the co-creator of "Samantha Who" on ABC. She's 27. *sigh* Happy for her, but *sigh*.

Today I'll be photographed for The (Red) Campaign. I feel honored to be a part of such a great concept. It's a win-win idea, and according to The 7 Habits..., win-win is the way to live. Hopefully I'll be able to get a copy so you all can see!

Step Pyramid at Sakkara (Saqqara)

I'm all a-twitter. Bonnie Gillespie commented on my blog. I feel like I've been visited by Yoda. Not meaning that she's green and tiny and talks backwards, but that I'm the padawan and she's the Jedi Master.

Catered at Ellis Island last night. Hoo boy. Not fun. Not fun at all. I think the people who've worked that location before have had unpleasant experiences, and they bring those memories with them, and so everyone's expecting a bad night and that's what they get. Not to mention that some personalities (not naming names to protect myself) are high-stress anyway, and they set everyone off on the wrong foot, i.e. the cranky, yelling foot; even people who I've never seen yell. It was the most unpleasant job I've worked thus far.

Not to end on that note, here's my Cub commercial, up on the interwebs!
