It’s been a big week in potential, but don’t know if any of it will pay off or not. I have had an interview with an acting manager, a commercial agent, and had a voice over audition for one of the biggest VO agents in Los Angeles and she complimented my work on the audition. I’m pretty sure it was sincere too because she does not come off as a warm person.
Of course I hope that all three come through for me, but just one or two would be nice.

The job front is still looking bleak however. I can’t understand what in the world would keep me from getting hired at any restaurant. I have had many interviews that seemed to go well, but I never hear from them again. It’s kind of been shaking my confidence lately in the food service industry. I mean, I would much rather make a living in acting/voice over, but the possibility of that happening right away is probably really slim. So all I can do at this point is keep on trying. It’s just really, really frustrating.
I’m slowly starting to learn how to get around in LA. It’s a bit of a different world out here when it comes to driving. You either are going 80 miles an hour on the freeway or you are barely moving at all. Drivers don’t seem as aggressive and rude out here as they did back in Dallas though. I’m glad, because if they were like that, there would probably be a lot more wrecks out here.
A few days ago Kristin and I went to check out Chinatown. It’s only about 10 miles from here so we figured it would be a cheap day out. It was really interesting walking around down there. Almost like visiting a foreign country… almost. We had food in a place where very few people who were not Asian were eating. It was good, but still pretty typical Chinese food I had most of my life.
There were all kinds of stores and markets that had little things we might have liked for the house. But since I don’t have a job right now, we can’t warrant spending any money on anything we don’t actually need. It sucks, and I feel down about it, but not much else I can do.

Tomorrow is Saturday, so I can’t really look for restaurant jobs again until Monday (They only interview weekdays from 2-4) So I’m kinda stuck until then. UNLESS someone calls with some good news about something I’ve interviewed or auditioned with in the past week.
