Happy 4th of July! It's official...I'm sick! I've been using zinc, echinacea, garlic, airborne...you name it...trying to stop it, but its here. Complete w/ crazy headache, sore throat and deep cough. I can't even remember the last time I felt like this. Maybe the lasts few months are catching up with me? I don't know. I wouldn't mind it so much if I just felt bad...but my voice is totally jacked up because of my sore throat...I sound like a less breathy version of Darth Vader.

Also, there are two events going on tonight, both of which I would really like to attend...which is amazing since I rarely ever leave the house. Some of my fellow actors from Actorsite are going to a picnic at the CBS Radford studios. It sounds like fun and I always love excuses to visit the CBS lot. One day I'll be going for auditions...not just picnics :). My good friend and great actor/writer, Michael Garvey also invited me to a small party that he's throwing. I met Michael last August at the Abbie Hoffman theater festival in Chicago. It's a really cool festival that's basically 48 hours of continuous theater and Michael and I were both performing there. We met backstage and I mentioned that I was planning to move to LA soon...I gave him my email and a few months later he wrote me saying he was going to Germany for a few months and asked me if I wanted to stay at his place and take care of his cats for him. It worked out really great! I had a free place to stay for my first month and a half in LA (that was only 2 blks from the ocean!) and I had to return to Chicago around the time Michael was due back. I am always humbled when I can see how God provides for me.

Ok, its 1pm and time for a nap. Hopefully I'll wake up to an amazing recovery.
