The World In Which We Once Lived

Hello, dear readers!

Today is Tuesday... I got home from LA last night around nine.
It was my second trip there in less than a week.
Tomorrow I am making my third.


I have been in the midst of auditioning for a feature film called "Broken." I'm auditioning for Emma, who is basically me, which is weird and awesome at the same time.
Anyhoo, my first audition for it was last Thursday, my callback was Monday, and my second (I think final; I'm pretty sure it's down to me and one other girl) callback will be Thursday.

Fun, fun. (:


While driving home last night, I finished Douglas Coupland's "The Gum Theif." It was brilliant. So, so good. I highly recommend it to you!! Great Summer read.


I spent a few hours - three, I think - at Barnes & Noble today. That was lovely. (: I got some tea, picked out a new book ("Room," by Emma Donaghue), and looked at giant photography books.
As I was looking at these photography books, I realized something about myself. I literally want to do everything.

Just to name a few, I want to:

• be a deep-sea photographer,
• learn how to sail,
• open a used bookstore/coffeehouse,
• open a vegetarian restaurant,
• travel all over Europe,
• become fluent in at least one other language,
• start at least three charities,
• win an Academy Award,
• star in popular film and television projects,
• write a memoir, a few novels, and a series,
• write/produce/perform multiple folk-pop albums,
• headline a world tour,
• open a restaurant with my dad...

the list goes on and on...



Well, enough of that.
Seriously, I want to live in a bookstore. It's so lovely.

Also, I believe I am still in the running for a new performance-based reality show entitled "Majors & Minors," however, I signed a contract and cannot say anything more than that.


I don't really know what else to talk about..
I had a bunch of really cool thoughts, but, of course, they left me.


I am working on a bunch of new songs and stories... "California" (song), "Magnolia" (song), "Jaybird" (song), "The World In Which We Once Lived" (song), "Pen Pals" (song), "Sheet Forts" (song), "Sophie" (story), "Two Birds" (story), "Kids" (story), and "Pretty Little Mind" (story), just to name a few.


I am really excited about all of these projects I'm in the running for, and ones I will be auditioning for soon.


If there's something you'd like me to talk about, just let me know!

Jay
