So, it has been almost 2.5 months since I update the site. I wish I could update this thing using my brain, since I think about updating it all the time, but I literally have just been so busy that the idea of sitting down at the computer to type even more stuff just paralyzes me.

I’ll just have to go through the past few months in brief. I have been doing pretty with the twitter updates, but I just have to basically treat this like I do my ifanboy.com article--make a schedule and do something at least once a week.

the travels
I was all over the place and I have a few shots from the trip up on Flickr. I was in London, Paris, Rome and Northern Tuscany (near the small town of Fivizzano, actually), then I spent a few days in New York and San Francisco before ending up white water rafting on the American River for the weekend.

(that’s me in front)

Then I was home for a few days, then, all of sudden, I was at Comic-Con (pictures here from iFanboy.com), which was fun until I get sick, then I was out of commission for the first part of this week and now, finally, I am back in LA with precious little traveling to do for August, then I am back in New York for a few days, in two separate trips (one for work, the other for a wedding).

It has been a busy summer.

It’s been a good summer, to be sure and I am really, really grateful that I had a chance to go see Europe again (for the first time since 2001, when I sent out some incredibly long emails to everyone chronicling my wanderings...I have them and plan to package them up here), but I am glad to be back home. I was concerned about missing auditions, but after talking to a few folks I have not been missing anything, in fact, most of the acting work I have had this year has been related to my work at Symantec! I am actually flying up to the Bay Area to do an interview in this new character I have been working on (long story, but it’s kind of fun), as well as have some other meetings, but it’s just ironic. I am lucky, I mean, I am technically getting paid to act, so I shouldn’t be complaining, I just want to get out there. Thankfully, doing a workshop with a casting director who does a lot of independent films next weekend, and I should be able to get some good advice from here. It’s just slow, is all, but every day that passes, more and more people arrive to take the place of all the actors that have left, and they are all ready to leap on upcoming work. Ugh...I just don’t want to get passed over, that’s my biggest fear.

Anyway, my iFanboy article is due on Wednesdays, I will try to make this due on Fridays, no matter how short it gets. I am going to post this now--work beckons--but let’s see if I can get more than 12 updates this year. This is kind of ridiculous!!
