HELLLOOOO EVERYONE!

So, everything is pretty much awesome.
Fun time

So the owner of the AmericInn is in town. We're doing a big renovation to all the rooms. New carpet, beds, furniture, tvs, paint, pictures. Awesome. Although he's kind of a cocky dick... ;)
He's got the "I own 4 hotels, so I'm better than everyone and I want everything done my way and so you're doing it wrong." attitude. Oh well.

Saturday we went to GamGam's to see Jessica and Johnny! He's so cute. And full of energy! Ugh. But then again, so am I. We were pretty evenly matched. We hung out all night. I took him to Mounds Park and got some pictures.







He is fluent in Italian. And English. His name is Giovanni in Italian. And ジョンさん in Japanese. :P
And he's in TaeKwonDo. We faught. It's tough to fight someone who is a third your size... he kept punching up. Not cool.

Theresa and I sang Let It Be on the Piano. That was fun. She's super cool, too. I gotta drive up there someday.

I guess Jessica is having her wedding in Italy in a few years and we're all invited. I'm super excited! Italy! Woo!

I found out yesterday that I have an audition for an agent in the cities on Wednesday. I'm gonna memorize a couple monologues for it. I'll use the one I used at ITS, and probably this one:

I've seen a lot. I mean, not like that, not, I mean ... (takes a breath) For instance, I've seen that you're maybe one of, I don't know, three people in the world that likes pizza-flavored chips. You're also the only person I've ever seen that spends more time on the roof of her house than in her actual house. And what are you doing? You're reading. Books. You know, not "US Weekly or "Seventeen", or, you know... but you're reading substantial books. You also do this, uh, ... (scratches head, chuckles) You do this thing where, it's like an OCD thing, but it's not. It's, um ... Whenever you're leaving your room, you grab the doorknob, you turn it and you're getting ready to leave but you don't, you stop and you back up and you turn to the mirror and you stare at yourself. But it's not like a, you know, "I'm so hot" kind of stare. You know, it's more like ... "Who am I, really?" And to ask yourself that, I mean, that's so cool. So you look out the window all the time like I do, only you're looking at the world, you know? Tryin' to figure it out, trying to understand the world. Trying to figure out why it's not in order like your books. (long pause) I'm only looking at you.

It's from the Shia LaBeouf movie: Disturbia.
Can't wait to see what happens. The Agent I will be auditioning for has been in the business for 25 years and has had lots of celebrities as her client. So if anything, I can at least get some good advice from her.

Brady and I bought our plane tickets for LA. We're gonna fly out June 9-13. We got a package deal that comes with the tickets, a hotel room, and a car. Costing a total of $1109.14. So split between us. About $558. Not too bad. I'm gonna try and get discounts on the hotel room.
Quick note, whenever you're going to stay in a hotel/motel, ask for the Corporate rate. At my hotel, the corporate rate is about $20 cheaper than the standard rate.
I'm gonna try to do that with the car rental, too.
Yes, you have to be 25 to rent the car, but if you're not, you can pay $25 extra per day for the car. So that's what we'll end up doing.
We plan on looking for jobs and apartments. I'm gonna meet up with some agents and what not. And then we plan to do the move early July. Can't wait! I even now have a grill to bring! Score.

Alright, well I'm going to get ready for work. Yay, work.
I work hard! Put in 87 hours on my last paycheck. w00t.

See ya!
