Dear blogosphere - what a long time it has been!

There is much to say, and most of it is exciting.

On the 15th of January I signed with my agent, and have been to a few castings here and there in the past few months, and depressingly, only worked on one set (Mad Dogs 4).

Above is a picture of the gorgeous black Camaro we used on set. My role was only as an extra, and I had to sit in my car in a staged traffic jam from 7am until 6:30pm for two days straight. It was very, very boring, and the first day I needed the bathroom so badly that the small waterbottles that they handed out to us started to look very enticing. On the second day I was more prepared, armed with my laptop, series, books and plenty of food and water. Much, MUCH more enjoyable. The man in the suit on the right was one of the main characters. There were four men, and they all wore latex masks with faces on the back and front of their heads. Very cool. The interesting thing about being on a professional set was that I had no idea what they were supposed to be doing... We were all so out of touch with the bigger picture of the scene that all of us extras just sat in our cars and relaxed (and got paid for it!). All in all it was a good experience, and I enjoyed it. Now hopefully I can get some more similar jobs!

I resigned from Butler's Pizza a  month or two ago - which was very sad for me. I had some of the best times of my life working for them, and I enjoyed meeting and establishing friendships with all of the guys I worked with. I will miss them dearly. I did, however, start working for Col 'Cacchio pizzeria in Belvedere Road, Claremont. They're a wonderful Italian restaurant with branches all over South Africa, and the one in Belvedere Square is one of only two branches that do deliveries. Naturally with my people skills and experience in deliveries, I fit in very well and I am enjoying it immensely, sampling the different pizzas shift to shift.

Josh, my cousin, came to stay with us for a week after having shot the argus cycle tour on the weekend before (he's a photographer, not a sniper). Last year when he came down, I was at college and my brother entertained him, and I didn't get to see him at all. This year, however, I was free, and my brother had university. One phrase describes the week. "Turn me over, I'm done!". We partied hard for 4 days straight, going out every night and meeting the most incredible people. Unfortunately his iPhone was stolen on Long St. on monday night, which put a damper on the mood, but he was soon back to his usual self when we found out it was insured.

One more piece of exciting news - I applied for an internship at a PR, Marketing and Brand Growth company - something that's completely out of my comfort zone but it is definitely something I can see myself getting into. Needless to say, I'm excited to see the outcome.

That's all for now
Stay classy, blogosphere.
