Gratitude again
Mar. 20th, 2022 07:41 pmJust some random ones since I haven't done this for a while.
- Doris is taking a few days off in July. (Basically because her staff wants some time off). We booked a trip to Lake Geneva, WI. We went there like 18 years ago. It's nothing fancy but there should be plenty of hiking - heck, maybe we canoe or do a boat tour. It has a cute downtown, and the Airbnb we booked is adorable. Just a 3 night trip which, sadly, constitutes a *long* vacation by our paltry standards!! But we really need some sort of getaway.
- My favorite actor from Spartacus, Antonio Te Maioha, landed a very good gig! He was in 2 episodes that aired this week of a New Zealand soap opera, Shortland Street. Why do I think this is a "very good" gig? (I mean come on, it's a *soap opera*). Well, he played a character who was very well spoken-of by the others and he even got a love interest. He almost never gets a love interest and often plays "bad guy of the week" and on top of that he often ends up dead. And as always, if you're an actor and someone is paying you to act, it's all good. Plus it's his most recent gig since Cowboy Bebop. (Where he played...bad guy of the week who gets killed). Funny note - Shortland Street has been on since 1993 and has over 7,000 episodes. Antonio was also in 3 episodes back in 2007 - playing a totally different character! I wonder if anyone other than his mother and I know that.
- Got some nice Cameos from Sachin. He thanked me for a prompt and said it was a good one
- Been volunteering with Postcards to Swing States. Did it last week and will do again this week
- Helping my housekeeper find a low cost way to get her cats neutered.
