This is my imitation of one particular Alien seen, usually in the closing credits of the original "Star Trek," if you've seen it, you know the one... It always cracked me up!

I may have been the first to post any info on this...

I knew this was in the works years ago, but I'm not bragging, the proof is in all the recent hits searches about this has brought to my site when the News broke.

"Star Trek: The Original Series," beams down Sept. 16, beginning with the episode "Balance of Terror." It will rock in Vivid Color and brand new stuff in CGI, that'll make you scream, "Han shot first" or something similar.

Katie Couric sheds 20 pounds in a doctored publicity photo using the same technology.

The Star Trek prequel to be helmed by "Lost," auteur J.J. Abrams, chronicling the early adventures of Spock and Kirk is being prepped for a 2008 release no longer co-starring Tom Cruise.

I actually thought he had already died, but Glenn Ford was great! Remember, he was Superman's Dad!

But to ease the pain...

Femtroopers!

I watched "Maniac!" on IFC with a friend tonight and it still freaks me out! That's a scary film!

ABC Science Online: Physics proves horror movies get it wrong!

Party poopers!

I got a call from a friend who does the "Burning Man" thing still after all this time of getting hot, sticky, stinky and dirty, so I asked him if he was going to see Nic Cage in the new "Wicker Man" (?) and he hadn't even seen or heard of the original...

Speaking of remakes... "Capote" has already been remade, this time with "Big Stars" as Sandra Bullock plays Capote's friend Harper Lee, Sigourney Weaver, Isabella Rossellini, Peter Bogdanovich, Hope Davis, and Toby Jones as Capote.

I don't know if this is true, I heard there is yet another Capote film coming out dealing with the same time period, but this one is CGI with singing and dancing animals playing all the characters.

I sat watching Spike Lee's "When the Levees Broke" and I've never been so angry watching a film before. I watched it wet with sweat and the A/C was on, I was so pissed off. I was ashamed to be an American.

If you don't want your week ruined, best not see this documentary!

Brad Pitt and Ms. Jolie are in New Orleans helping rebuild with Brad's cool "Green" housing designs, but I know that he and Clooney have some sort of Casino plans using cheap land after the dams busted and destroyed peoples homes and lives.

Peter Jackson, "The Lord of the Rings'" director is going to shoot a remake of one of my favorite movies, "The Dambusters."

It's a true and amazing story about the pilots that had to drop special bombs a few feet in front of dams to get them to burst, and get their planes out of the way of the blast. Very few of the planes, or the crews on the mission survived.

I got an e-mail from my friend Jodi about me talking about the Tiki Drive-In and she's been there and says it's "Great!" Her man, Eric runs a cool Mobile Drive-In that I know I'm going to go to!

Maybe I can convince him to show one of my films!

Huell Howser did a special about Drive-In movies at the Mission Tiki Drive-in Theatre, in Montclair, CA that I enjoyed!

I want to go to the Mission Tiki Drive-in Theatre now, really bad.

I can't wait to see this...

The Host trailer!

I am so excited to see this film! Bong Joon-Ho is now one of my favorite directors after seeing his, "Memories of Murder" which I've thought about every day since seeing it.

This would be the perfect Drive-In Movie to see!

I want to go see a film with a bunch of friends all crammed in a big station wagon or a trunk of a huge car. As soon as I make some friends, that's what I'll do!

I was sitting in my reading room (bathroom) perusing the latest issue of Backstage West when I came across this awesome ad:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am so there!

Not to audition, but to see the cattle call of performers "Dressed Appropriately" for the role!!!

You telling me you don't wanna see that?

I guess it's all part of Disney's Star Wars Weekends where the "Stars" (Mark Hamill) get to meet, interact and connect with the public.

The best thing is, the Debbie Reynolds Studios is real close to me and about 20 feet from an all nude strip club! You know some Jedis will will be partaking in a lil' cantina sequence and lapdances in full costume.

You know I believe in Ghosts, right?

Sometimes people see what they call "Orbs," little balls of light that many think are souls floating around.

Remember the guy that died in his apartment next to mine? Today they cleaned out his place. All his belongings were carried out to the dumpster because he has no family or friends to take all the stuff.

I found a cool piece of exercise equipment of his that I would like standing next to the trash. It is a tall collection of metal tubing that you can do chin ups and stuff on without fear of it tipping over.

I want it!

However, I believe some part of us embeds itself in our surroundings and possessions like the needle that cuts the groove in a record, or lingers like the smell of burnt toast, or the odor of Fresno on your clothes years after you were there.

I'm afraid that some part of his spirit will haunt me in my apartment.

I could have haunted exercise equipment!

Walking down an alleyway behind the 3rd Street Promenade I came across a lil' theatre that would be perfect for my Santa Monica area Acting Workshop!

I plan to break the week up with a Santa Monica night, a Burbank night, a Hollywood night, a West Hollywood night, and maybe a South Central night.

One of my students called to mentioned the idea of hosting the Workshops in homes, like parties... Like Tupperware Parties or Murder Mysteries...

That's an idea!

Checkout some of these fun synths!

I love the sound of synthetic sound... huh?

For some of my Acting Workshop films I'm using theremin sounds mixed with sampled natural sounds. Like the sound of me coughing behind the camera due to my illness.

And these...

look so cool!

And Theremins rock!!!

I built some when I was a kid and so badly want to build the RCA Tube replica when I can get around to it.

But my time is so precious, I spend time just trying to figure out how to waste it.

I met the "Head Alien" of a race of brilliant and sexually seductive space people, who told me some very interesting things about you...

It seems there is another world just like ours but in a dimension that shares the same space as this one, but they get better seating in restaurants.

They are very nice and very smart even though they look like their heads are huge, it's really their bodies that are big, the heads are actually the size of a clenched fist... but the fist of a big transvestite.

They know everything!

Well, they act like they know everything.

Still, they live in a time line that is one day ahead of ours and they use that information to get the good spots in street parking and know when the city tickets for sweeping.

They are able to travel into our dimension in saucer-like crafts, yet these vehicles are on wheels, but they are environmentally conscious, so these UFOs are powered by steam.

They are not to be feared and only want to learn from us. They can be engaged in light small talk and be aware, they love racist humor.

I've been going with some friends and looking at houses...

I think I've found where I want to live!

Look at that VIEW!!!

Housing prices are out of my league at this point, but I was watching the News while I was in the Hospital and they said the market is horrible for home sales right now.

Homes have been sitting unsold while owners refuse to lower their prices thinking things will change.

The TV said in Burbank alone over 1000 homes are sitting with no bids.

It's hard not to think we may be in for a Depression, with people worried about gas prices, War, Paramount firing Tom Cruise... Times are changing!

I need my hillbilly highrise!

I felt I was being watched...

Overhead, intense eyes, cold thought patterns weaved strategies on how to either possess my mind and body and take over the World, or how to pounce on me!

Click the photo to see this alien-like creature with Mickey Mouse ears and demonic eyes that stalked me as I left the hospital. Hours earlier it stared at me through the windows of my room, with it's pale heartshaped face pressed against the glass. It watched me undress. It downloaded my thoughts. It learned nothing about me, because I filled my thoughts with the image of a brick wall.

I walked to the car and it followed me through the branches never losing sight of me. I believe it felt something for me. Was it worried for me? Was this the form my angel took? Was this the form a demon took? Was this the form roadkill took before it becomes pavement pancakes?

How sad is it that your humble narrator is back in the Hospital again?

I think it's tragic!

After my EKG and other numerous tests, the Doctor said I was very healthy and had the body of a 60 year old. When I told her my true age, she rushed me into Intensive Care!

Everyone kept asking me if I was a "Smoker?" And acted like I was lying when I told them, No!

I have to start making more money! Living without Health Insurance when a tongue depressor costs $100, is not easy.

If suddenly you come back to this page and it's not being updated...

...It was good knowing you!

Never one to waste a good photo...

Thanks to Steve for creating this new podcast logo!

Terrifying stories of alien sexual encounters with young girls that you won't believe!

If you, or some young girl you know has had a sexual encounter with an alien, please contact me!

Jerry Lentz's Area 69 podcast!

Photo of Alien seen after Burbank, CA UFO sighting last week!

Horrifying as it is, it's somehow sweet looking, giving abductees a safe feeling during the examination of the sexual and reproductive organs.

I think he would be my friend!

He looks trustworthy and kind to me.

I bet he would make me and my bike fly over Burbank if he felt it was important.

I just know if he asked you to remove your panties, you would do it without worry.

There was some News coverage of the event, but I got some email about the UFO:

"Dear Jerry, Here is my girlfriend's drawing of the UFO over Burbank that I too, saw that night! I am standing to the right of you in the picture and my girlfriend is standing in front of you when you took the photo of it flying over Coral Cafe. What a cool night that was, Jake."

I feel like I'm trapped in the Twilight Zone!

Halfway through eating my full size chocolate Rod Serling sculpture and I think the sugar is getting to me.

Ran into Rob Zombie last night. He and Sherry were getting ready for his tour and we were eating chocolate chip ice cream. I asked about his "Halloween" movie and his sleep schedule. He is a very busy artist!

I was exhausted and thinking only of my Acting Workshop that I'm doing today and he's a guy that makes things happen. I should have asked him about his diet, because he is super thin now. I'm guessing he Fasts.

Came home yawning and discovered an old man who was nice to me when I moved in died three weeks ago. I also learned that his body wasn't discovered for those three weeks!

His apartment is right across from mine and I had smelled his decomposing body last week as I was walking by, thinking it was some odd ethnic cooking going on, or bad weed being smoked.

The hot young girl that lived below him found maggots behind her curtains and in the carpet as his body fluids drained through the floor of his place and into the walls of hers. I found her freaked out and hauling off all her clothes in trash bags to the dumpster.

When the maintenance guys opened the door the odor was so bad they nearly died. I think it is so sad that no one noticed him gone. No friends. No family.

I wonder if his spirit knows that he is dead yet? Does he walk by? Is he in the room with me now? Is he reading this over my shoulder as I type? Is he happy, or scared? Is he safe?

I crawled into bed and pulled the sheets over my head as the sound of Police radio calls and static bled through my walls and crept into my dreams.

Standing outside of a place where a few years ago, I witnessed one of the greatest UFO sightings I've ever had and bonded with a complete stranger who has been my friend since, I was one of many witnesses tonight of a cigar shaped object that slid across the sky silently.

Click on the picture for a Close-Up of the silver cigar shaped vehicle that moved without sound and had people and cars frozen in place on the street and sidewalks!

I wish I had a telephoto lens, but thank God I now always carry my camera with me! I only wish I had put it on video instead, however I was so stunned by the image of this machine and the way it moved, I was dumbfounded.

So completely fogged in the brain, I was, that I had macaroni and cheese and chicken noodle soup, like I was some 80 year old man!

I hope, if you haven't already witnessed a UFO in your life, that you someday soon do, because it changes they way you feel about the Universe and all it's possibilities.

It make me feel so small and insignificant and that my problems are meaningless and it humbles me and it makes me think I am less than an ant or possibly just food waiting to be harvested by the vanguard of a superior race of beings from a hungry and warlike world...

Maybe they just want to fatten me up?

"To Serve Man" it's a COOKBOOK!!!

When I was a kid this is the look I wished to have when I grew up!

I wanted to be mysterious!

A Master of the Dark Arts!

Mesmeric!

However, standing in the narrow alleyway in the middle of the night taking pictures as people pass by, I wonder if it was an empty wish.

Should I have put more effort in detailing and fleshing out what I could have been?

I should have put more effort in figuring out how to have adventure and better math skills. I should have traveled more. Learned Spanish. Typing.

I feel my life would have been easier, instead of worrying about making more money, if I could just have been born wealthy.

I always believed that if you worked at a job you loved, that it wouldn't really be work, it would feel like free money, but what happens when what you love to do and are passionate about, makes no money?

What if all your skills are useless to employers?

What if no one wants the drugs you're pushing?

What if no one wants to hear about the dream you had last night?

What if no one tells you they love you?

What if that great big, dumb cowboy crap of yours don't appeal to nobody except every jockey on 42nd Street? That's faggot stuff! You wanna call it by its name? That's strictly for fags!

...John Wayne! You wanna tell me he's a fag? I like the way I look. It makes me feel good. It does. And women like me, god-dammit. Hell, only one thing I've ever been good for is lovin'. Women go crazy for me. That's a really true fact.

I am one of those guys you see sitting all alone in a cafe thinking to himself and making notes in a spiral bound tablet about goals that rarely come to fruition.

Some of the ideas I come up with after drinking massive amounts of ice tea are pure genius and could alter life as we know it, but they seldom lead to me having sex with beautiful women.

On paper I've created a way I could make very close to 2 million a year, but I need to figure out how to make that 2 Million Dollars instead!

Was up in the hills over Burbank watching the lights and dreaming of my future.

Nothing clears my head more than getting up above and looking down on sleepy homes, tiny ant sized cars, colorful lights, the flicker of distant Police car Red strobes, airport tower beacons, helicopter searchlights, mercury vapor lamps along darken streets...

Layers of mist separate me and the distant mountains like frost on glass, the gauze of stockings hanging on the nightstand lampshade, my memories of simpler times.

Driving by warm homes at night, windows aglow with the television or computer screens, the activity of happy families inside, I wonder what they do for a living that brought them to have these houses.

I make up stories in my head for answers.

Did the widow down the street meet the divorced retired aerospace engineer at her yardsale and start a romance while her kids were away at college?

Did world of porn pay for this beautiful house?

Did the people that fell asleep and died in this house while a car was left running in the garage haunt the family that lives there now, but never knew the homes history even though their real estate agent and neighbors do?

Driving at night when most sane people are asleep between clean cool 1000 thread count sheets and the streets are empty makes one feel there are limitless possibilities and a million stories waiting to be discovered.

Maybe someone will discover me and my story.

Tonight I was very funny!

I wish you could see the crowd all falling over and slapping their knees and spilling their booze. Trust me it was like the Deaf Comedy Jam!

Whaa?

I drank a really strong Cosmopolitan that was for medicinal purposes, but did nothing for my health. I haven't drank in a while, I think the last time was when I was drunk.

I think it was May 5th...?

After the show and entertaining so many people, I needed to go to Ralph's and pick up some more NyQuil, but while I was there I cruised the liquor aisle and thought about all the pretty bottles of hooch. I was all Nic Cage in, "Leaving Las Vegas" drinking myself to death.

But I thought to myself... "Why deprive so many people of my genius and personality?"

Wouldn't I be hurting them?

Wouldn't you even miss me?

Huh?

This is Aaron and Rayluk seconds before he hauled off and punched me!

I don't understand why people are so against getting their photo taken?

After a long day walking with the Workshop around Whitley Heights and shooting my actors out in the sun and air, I was bushed and ready to hangout with a cold ice tea at CPK. I didn't even eat any pizza!

I met the most beautiful Magician I have EVER seen! You know I love magic and have many magical friends, but today I met the coolest and prettiest one! She has the most amazing eyes!

Misty Lee!

I got all nervous talking to her... I don't know why? I sensed her power was very strong!

I also met my friend Marja's fiance Eric! He is really cool and funny, we laughed and giggled like idiots talking about how the translation of some subtitles in films get messed up to hilarious results.

I thought they were getting married soon, but found out their engagement is for "EIGHT YEARS!" Whaaa?

That was longer than my marriage!

I don't think people should get married anymore. There are so many examples of couples staying together longer without it.

Why do Gays want it so bad? Aren't they having enough troubles?

I have a friend that works for a HUGE Corporation and she said they have healthcare for same sex partners, but if a couple of "breeders" lived together as partners, they wouldn't get the same benefits.

Dang! I think I'm gonna have to do a "Bosom Buddies" with a dude for me to get insurance...

I just read an e-mail from a friend concerned about my health after my aborted month-long Fast.

Seems he knows someone who also recently became ill doing it. I use to be able to go without food and be okay. I don't feel normal. I guess as we get older, starving ourselves doesn't get any easier.

I was watching Conan and he had a funny one, "In the Year 2000" that went something like, "Nicole Richie will be prescribed diet pills, pills shaped like an index finger."

I told my friend, David how the Doctor said I should be Hospitalized, but that I didn't have insurance. I added that someday I hope to be able to afford my health.

Being that he lives overseas and probably has access to Socialized Medicine, he responded, "God Bless America!"

I bet Suicide Bombers get better Healthcare!

Just watched the scariest Tee Vee show ever!

Sure the news of terror and crap is scary, but one of my favorite shows is "Most Haunted" and this last one really got me! Granted, I watched it in the dark, in an already evil and haunted location... My apartment!

Still, as goofy as the show can be, there were truly scary moments for me; like when they are in an old clock tower and one of the guys asks the spirit to try and stop the clock and as soon as he asks, it stops!

I love seeing Yvette Fielding cry and scream, which she does in EVERY episode! She's so cute, too! I have to know something... Why do I get turned on when she gets so scared? In last weeks episode, she goes down into some haunted castle basement all alone with her infared nightvision camera and freaks out and starts crying and I get all aroused...

Why is that?

I can't turn away from the horror the show brings out in me!

Then, Derek gets a man all up inside him... Not THAT way, come on! I mean he gets possessed!

The show ROCKS! I don't care what you say...

Ghosts are real!

I just watched the DVD, "Sherlock Holmes: The Voice of Terror" today and found it very similar to what is going on in the News.

The first thing that was odd was that Universal attempts to modernize (well, back in 1942 anyway) Holmes by having him work with the British government who is helpless in dealing with a series of radio broadcasts that predict terrorist destruction.

The film is based on "His Last Bow," I've read it and didn't even recognize it here. This was Hollywood aiding the war effort, using Sherlock Holmes as propaganda against Nazis.

Basil Rathbone's sits listening to the radio as the "Voice of Terror" makes his statements much like the Al Queda videotapes. There is a scene where Holmes and Watson go to the waterfront and a saloon that looks so noirish and cool. I watched this on my laptop as the TV has Anderson Cooper in London uncovering the terrorists.

The terrorists in the film derail a train filled with passengers.

The saboteur on the radio terrorize everyone about a Nazi invasion of the British Isles, so the British Intelligence's Inner Council calls in Sherlock Holmes to help.

Today terrorists have to use the internet and video to get their messages out, because Clear Channel owns almost every radio station, in fact we have to get our news the same way because Clear Channel stations can't break format for any local emergency warnings. Less is more, doesn't have room for local news when 10 songs in a row is more important than your safety.

Holmes, in this film has BBC Radio, we have Myspace/Fox News.

I love these films, and have watched a DVD a day from this series, they are as far removed from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's original stories as they can be, but I dig them. The lighting and cinematography are great. Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce are just wonderful.

I wish Bush would call in Sherlock Holmes to help.

Got out of the Iron Lung today...

I visited with a friend who has just moved here to Los Angeles.

She lives in a really cool and expensive complex with numerous famous and wealthy people. Women who look hot and walk around in their bikinis as though they were street wear. I saw this!

We hung out at the Sherman Oaks Galleria, ate at the upscale El Torito and I listened to her tell me how she finds LA Men "so easy."

Maybe it was men are "too easy."

I can't remember, if the talk is not about me, I'm not listening.

I feel like crap...

However, Art doesn't wait to be created and I must create while the creating is good!

I picked up a few books relating to Day Hikes around Los Angeles and Walking Tours that will give fantastic backgrounds in my Workshop Films. I have located a few that I want to explore in the next few days.

I just watched Adrien Brody and Keira Knightley in "The Jacket" and I thought it was a pretty interesting film. I feel just like Brody's character in that film.

Then I watched a few more Sherlock Holmes DVDs.

Ended the day seeing "Home Movies" about how some people live and love their unique homes.

I realize, I created nothing today, but phlegm.

I had to be admitted to the Emergency Room this morning!

It appears that I either have pneumonia or my Fast was a bad idea this month...

I think the waiting in the hospital allowed me the opportunity to catch other, more deadly diseases.


I would write more, but I'm out of breath.

Natalie Portman is pretty hot, I have to admit!

I use to just think she was cute, but in a heated discussion that made all important work stop for a few of us that involved, "Who is hotter: Jessica Simpson or Jessica Alba?" the subject of Portman come up.

I loved her in "Garden State" and I love that movie, but I never found her hot until a girl in this weekend's Workshop sent me this pic of her with the pseudo Louise Brooks doo.

I love Louise Brooks!

I love this look!

Okay, enough of that!

It has come to my attention that these last few posts have been dull and short... That's true. I have been very busy and I'm trying to do good with the Acting Workshops.

Sorry!

Also, many have complained about my frequent mention of NyQuil.

Sorry!

Let me just say this; I was driving yesterday and I was on it (NyQuil, shhh!) and I know that's wrong, but it was suppose to be a quick drive to pick up more DV Tapes from Fry's.

Okay, let me back up.

During the Heatwave I purchased this HUGE windshield reflector that is two flexible loops of silver material that you twist to fold up and an elastic band holds it together when to store it away. I usually just set it in the passenger seat because no one is ever in the car with me.

Because I'm alone!

Because I have no friends!

Because I'm a loser!

Is that what you want to hear?

Anyway, I'm holding a big ass ice tea between my legs because the drink holder won't hold the Jack in the Box large drinks. I'm turning left through a very busy and dangerous intersection where 7 roads converge and no one in their right mind feels safe going through it, suddenly the elastic band slips off the windshield sun shade thing and it POPS OPEN with a bang!!!

I thought I had been hit and the airbag had gone off!

In terror I had squeezed my legs together and the ice tea shot all over my lap.

I hit the brakes and the car riding my ass in the turn lays on it's horn and my car stalls because I guess I popped the clutch or something and I roll to the curb soaking wet.

I didn't go to Fry's, I turned back and went home, but later after I changed my clothes and calmed down, did go to Fry's and when I opened my wallet to pay everything was soaked.

The Indian woman that was ringing me up looked at me funny as I handed her soggy cash. Like it was all sweaty money or something.

Single Ladies? You too can have this exciting man in your life!

I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but it is kind of funny...

This weekend's Acting Workshop group members consists of 12 people who are all...

Ready?

Hold your horses!

...Waiters, Servers and Waitresses! Yay!!!

Every single one of them.

I think it's great, because so are all my friends.

Just hope after the class is over they all leave me nice tips.

When you Fast, you miss out on beautiful treats like this strawberry cheesecake at Coral Cafe!

Dang, it sure does look good, but I've never had cheesecake before. I've been to the Cheesecake Factory, but never got to the desert.

Not sure if I'm gonna make it through this whole month fasting on liquids. Liquids like NyQuil... Soups and water...

I did something that may not be that big a deal to you, but did pop a cherry in this household; I brewed my own tea!

I have a friend that complains all the time about me eating out. He really lays into me on the price eating establishments put on ice tea. There's a place we both like that charge you to refill the ice tea and that just burns him to the core.

At Ralph's I found a coffee make for only $6 so I bought it to make tea. I don't drink coffee so it won't have that coffee taste that one sometimes gets sharing a coffee maker with a tea drinker.

I hate to admit I'm sick again, so I won't. I will say that my thinking is not straight. I haven't put my washer and dryer in my place so I thought I would try a new 24 hour Laundromat down the street that looks incredibly cool inside.

I did just one load to see if I liked it and that there were no freaky people hanging out.

It was good. I even enjoyed my time there.

I did it again with my next load the next night. I brought the new Wired Magazine to read and after popping the wet panties and socks into the dryer, headed over to the McDonald's drive thru to get a big ice tea to go.

Came home and watched the History Channel's UFO Files that I had Moxied, then drank some NyQuil and hit the bed. I woke up thinking something was missing after taking a shower and realized I had left my clothes at the Laundromat.

I am too embarrassed to go get them now. I don't want anyone putting a face to those nasty drawls!

I'll just buy new clothes.

Damn that NyQuil!

Operating a DV camera while on NyQuil is not like driving heavy equipment, however it can be as fun!

I'm not saying I'm sick again, but I have a cough and I'm congested. I believe it started a few weeks ago when I was eating Indian food and something sharp like a toothpick got lodged in my throat. I couldn't get it out and it hurt!

I think that started something.

But any excuse to pop open a bottle of NyQuil...

The Fasting is taking effect!

That and the NyQuil I took for a cough.

Wow! What dreams I'm having!

Can I take a month of this? I don't know...

Today was a busy one. I am no longer renting the theatre space for the Workshop, because I want to get people outside and on the streets. I had to clean my stuff out of the prop room and it was sad as another group came in to rent. They were a Church Group!

There are not enough churches I guess, They have to rent theaters now! Performance is performance!

Later, I fielded calls coming in from actors wanting to take my offer of $50 for every actor they sign up to take my class. I asked one lady if she was going to take the class first, so she'd know what I was all about before she sold her friends on it and she said, "Ahh, Why?"

I didn't know if she just wanted the money and was going to sell to anyone and didn't care what I did, or she figured I was a quality guy with a quality workshop and needed no more evidence that what I had given her?

I met another woman who was an assistant Casting Director who liked the Workshop we did last week and she wants to try her hand at signing up actors for the $50 a head... She believes this will be easy money for her as the results they get are far greater than the price, and she knows lots of people.

We sat in Baja Fresh on La Cienega Blvd and I watched her eat a burrito, I watched her chew it, I watched her bite into the crisp chips, I watched her swallow it... Oh My Gawd, I was so hungry!

I had an Ice Tea...

She told me she thinks she's gonna make a lot of money from me, then I paid for her food.

The money thing began to weigh on me. I know I'm providing a great service and as the sole staff member, the money is not wasting on anything but providing for the actor, the class and video, but I started thinking I want to do a Free Workshop, too! Maybe pick the best of each class and do it!

It's so funny, the classes are so much fun for me that time just flies by and it really is like a happy drug doing it. It really is a game that we are playing. No stress. Lot's of laughs. Meeting new people.

...And watching them eat while I'm Fasting...

This is brutal!

I'm very excited that today is the 1st and not just because I had to pay rent...

Today is the beginning of my New Month-long Fast!

Yes, It's Water, Cayenne Pepper, Maple Syrup and Lemon Juice everyday for the month of August!

Yay!!!

Be prepared to see my face all broken out in sores.

Be prepared to see me walking slowly, all weak-like.

Be prepared to see me lose body mass.

Be prepared to see me talking to God.

I don't really know why I do it anymore, but it does give me a weird high with amazing dreams.

Also, friends come out of the woodworks to offer to buy me food when I do this. It's not so much they want to keep my from starving myself, it's more that they want to see me fail my goal, because it makes them feel better.

A friend that knows I can't go 20 minutes without applying my Cherry Flavored Chapstick picked up various tubes of food flavored and aromatic lipbalm.

The scent of cookie dough on my lips will be good for me this month!
