Just thought I’d post a link to an ooooold blogspot page which I wrote between Feb, 2003 and Jan, 2004 on the subject of theatrical releases I saw. I laugh at the hyperbole and vitriolic language I use on the less-than-good movies I saw. Enjoy! sierrasmoviereviews.blogspot.com/ and here’s another blog I did on things I recommended at the time (movies, […]
In Times Square, right above Toys ‘R Us, is a huge, faded, beat up billboard for Rush Limbaugh’s television show. I found its appearance to the public quite fitting. Plus, I’m very much relieved that his face wasn’t blown up and plastered for all of the tourists to see – that might have turned them off to spend their money […]
I live now in Washington Heights, near Fort Tryon in the upper Manhattan island area. It’s informally called Little Dominican Republic (the Tony-award-winning musical “In the Heights” is based on this area of the island). I feel like a white girl, but know that there are a lot of other artists who choose this area to make their home. The […]
sierrarein.com/sierra/audio/mp3s/sreinvocaldemo.mp3 Experimenting with a vocal demo – comment away! I want to know about bad notes, redundancy, and length. I put this together with audio previously recorded from other projects. Eventually, I want to go into a studio and really RECORD a vocal demo – but I need something in the meantime to send to people as a suggestion of […]
Quote from E.B. White I’ve noticed several times on the billboards within the subway trains: “There are roughly three New Yorks. There is, first, the New York of the man or woman who was born there, who takes the city for granted and accepts its size, its turbulence as natural and inevitable. Second, there is the New York of the […]
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). However, he stresses that he is not any more talented than anyone else – he attributes his career to the psychology he applies to his auditioning process. Yesterday, I went to a free seminar he held at Actor’s Equity […]
An interesting new law in New York is quite suddenly apparent now: food chains, restaurants, even coffee houses are now required by law to include the calorie content of all menu items. My hubby and I first came to this realization when we went to TGI Friday’s for a splurge dinner very early on in our residence here. We suddenly […]
