Watching a voices.com webinar right now. It's actually useful. While I've done more than a year of VO training, I haven't aggressively gone after jobs since training. Too shy about self-marketing. But if I'm going to get a job I can do regardless of my disability, I'm going to have to get over that. It's nice to get a little walkthrough on their site.
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Now tagless for your comfort.
William Peterson had Executive Producer credit from the beginning of CSI. That said, I'm not looking at the salary list. I'll have a 'sode.
I have both kids at the dentist. So glad about the parents-in-the-waiting room policy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm not guaranteed to have a job next year if they cut the budget.
Nobody's guaranteed a job. But the risk to reward in acting is pretty damned high, and if you average out the incomes (and the health benefits) they start to look more like normal people. Nobody's doing the flip side of that chart where the acting income is $0--and that's for people you know. Think of all the actors you've never heard of who can't get health benefits.
That's a really lucky few.
I do get the RAEG at the bankrupt ones, though. Come on, people. Be wise with your money, and live within your means. Nic Cage and Scottie Pippen should not be hard up for money. That's just ludicrous. Not if I can make ends meet.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Very true. The extremes are kind of nuts, and many people who've hit it big have lived the proverbial starving actor lifestyle, some of them more than once.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
One of my friends invented the term "porkflopper" for all the dudes who are walking around Brooklyn wearing porkpie hats, shorts, and flip-flops.
BTW, Brooklyn, thanks ever so much for sending all the porkfloppers to New Orleans last month for Tales of the Cocktail- here's hoping your resident hipster douchbags are back home up north.
New Orleans has enough hipsters as it is, having them temporarily imported made for craziness!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
The Winchesters do *nothing* for me.
Me either, erika.
and I am like unto a limpet clinging to the slimy rock that is my point
I just wanted to see that again.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Heh. I have a friend who won a best margarita competition at Tales of the Cocktail. She's no hipster, though.

Does her name begin with an A? Because I helped out a tequila tasting that she created a cocktail for! I like her blog, too... (if we are talking about the same person)
