OK, I'm STILL sick, but I refuse to stay in bed all day again today. I took my temperature (thanks to my friend SF bringing me a thermometer this morning :), it was normal! This is good...I feel crappy, but my temp is normal. I decide to make some moves. I went to the post office and finally got my Commercial casting director mailing out. I must have mailed at least 100 postcards, so I feel like I got a little something done. Next, I was off to get my photo reproduced. I decided to try Paper Chase this time as I wasn't thrilled with the job Isgo did on my last photo order. The people at Paper Chase were great! I highly recommend them based on their customer service alone! I took my picture in on a CD which Sofia, one of the awesome employees, opened so I could see how the pic looked on her computer. Much to my dismay, I noticed a dark mark on my face that was not visible on my laptop. I asked her if she saw it...she said it wasn't a big deal but if it really bothered me that they could lighten it. Now, I am pretty savvy with photo shop, and I know it will take ME all of 30 seconds to fix this problem...and i know they will want to charge me like 30 bucks to fix it, so I ask Sofia if she has an extra Cd b/c I have my laptop in my car and I could fix it there. I think she understood my "I'm a poor person" dilemma... she was like, "why don't you have a seat and fix it right here". What!? How awesome is that! If all goes well, they have earned a very loyal customer.After spending an hour in PaperChase, my sickness is beginning to catch up with me, and it was apparent that I needed to get back to bed. As I was driving home I got a call from my friend Darren, who I know from USC (South Carolina). We ran into each other last week in Hollywood...small world! He told that he's going to Uganda for a film that he's working on. They're researching this rebel warrior "gang" made up of young boys. It's really interesting stuff, I'd actually read about them a long time ago on the BBC. He's also working crew for a play in August which stars Al Pacino! Way to go Darren! I love to see people really going for their dreams...really trying to make it happen!
