Julie and Julia

Had I fantastic day with my mom today! I visited my parents for the weekend and spent all day with my mother. I haven't been able to visit because of my work sched so it was nice to finally spend some time with her. We saw "Julie and Julia" which was really good! It's a really feel good movie, makes you want to get up and do something (hence me writing my blog).
I'm having a harsh reality of my life right now. It's very expensive to be an actor apparently. A weekend class costs $400!! What actor has that kind of money lying around?! I sure as hell don't! Not to mention I've been told I have to keep up with the trends, make sure my hair is freshly cut every 3 months and that means going to an actual nice salon... no more super cuts for me.
So, with classes, fashion and printing photos and whatnot, we're looking at an average of $600/mo! They were not kidding when they call us "starving artists".
I need to find a way to at least cut that down to $400/mo and I'll be able to pull it off. I just need to save every penny I make... oh the glamorous life of an actress. The only thing now is that I have to get a clue about what I'm doing.
On the bright side, I finished my first draft of my screenplay! YAY! I'm so excited about writing the second draft! It went from a fluffy romantic comedy to a sort of drama comedy... we'll see where it goes! I hope to someday have it made. Stay tuned!
