My mom emailed me after I wrote an entry about finding a lot of talent under the streets of New York, within the subway system’s many train stations. She noted that the MSG Network was hosting a talent competition, trying to find the city’s most talented Subway musicians. As they put it on their website: “Five Boroughs, 16 Musicians, One […]
Most of our anniversary was spent apart, it being a work day. Pete was able to record this 12seconds.tv clip, unfortunately I couldn’t hear the audio at work, but I got the loving point. We met at The Hummus Place a little after 7:00 (Pete found me reading a printout of the second draft of “PSW,” his space adventure novel). […]
This is me and Michael Kostroff, who is an actor/singer with many credits under his belt (both on stage and screen).

Today was really fun. Didn’t have temp job to drain my brain of creative force. I had two auditions in the same audition location (right at the Equity office on 46th Street) for two different companies – one in New York, the other in Florida. Got my hair out of its curlers (looking very much like my mom looks when […]
Season 2, Episode 2 of “How to Look Good Naked” on the Lifetime Channel is special – it’s not any woman, but my friend Grae who gets surprised by Carson and asked to do a Tango. Now, everyone who knows Grae was puzzled by the fact that she wanted to be on this show, seeing as how she’s such a […]
