:~: General :~:

I'm toward the end of my spring break with little more than nothing accomplished that I wanted to get done this week, but that's the story of my life, isn't it? 

I still have 3 days left to finish the treatment for the manga proposal I've been slaving over for forever now, pick out a scene to reherse for acting class, post about 5-6 new items on eBay and etsy, update my website so that it doesn't continually look like it's a page holder, and get a metric ton of stuff sewed and cleared off my sewing table.

:~: Etsy & Cafepress :~:

AmericanGeiko is going to be going through some changes in the next month or so.  Expect a stronger promotional front, some new photos, and the addition of new test items to the line-up.

Currently, the old standards of egl accessories, hair fascinators, handmade jewelry, and diy clothing currently abound.

Cafepress is up, and will undergo a makeover at some point in time in the future, with humorous attire for the "Chef" in us all.

*DING! DING!*

The money my school owes me finally came in, so I just bought a Genius 8x6 tablet.  (Yeah, I know everybody is hot for Wacom, but frankly, I just want something that works.)

:~: Costuming/Fashion :~:

Other than general alterations/pieces for my "AmericanGeiko" line on Etsy, I am currently not working on any costuming projects at this time due to my work/school schedule.

I *am* however finishing up a plushie that will have a lot people going, "Squee!" with joy when they get to see it.

I have finished my tunic-gown that was part of my collaboration with Valerhon of Brightblood.net. 

:~: Acting/Modeling :~:

This past week was basically "Hell Week" for me in between school and gigs. 

Sunday night was the Flogging Molly concert/promotion for their new album, "Float".  I hadn't seen mosh pitting of that nature since middle school.  0.0  The concert rocked!  I totally can't wait till they come back into town.

After getting to bed at 2am, I had be on set a 9am for "12 Rounds", the new WWE flick featuring John Cena.  It was a small group of us, so things were nice and I go to see old friends from other sets, leave early, and eat crew food. *w00t!*

Tuesday I had class all day, but I was off in the evening.

Wednesday I had an audition for an Oshner commercial, and then a Bailey's Irish Creme & Guinness promotion at night.

Thursday was class all day again, with my acting mid-term sandwiched in there.  (Yes, I had mid-terms last week on top of all of this. LOL)

Friday I was one of probably 300 extras on the set of Final Destination 4 in 3D.  They were filming in the now defunct New Orleans Centre which is a great place for this type of movie since it really hasn't been dealt with since Katrina.  (There were still dead potted plants everywhere.)

Saturday I had a corporate stagehand gig at the Convention Center setting up the Prudential Real Estate Award's Show. 

Sunday was a corporate gig for a medical company at the Ritz-Carlton.

Monday I took off though I could've done another day on FD4 in 3D.

Tuesday I went to do Blue Man Group at the New Orleans Arena.

Wednesday I was back at the Convention Center to take down the Prudential Show.

Today I sleep in and recovered from basically working a week and half straight.

And now it sounds like I might be taking an extra's gig on Monday for the film, "The Open Road" with Justin Timberlake.
