How to live as an actor in Hollywood while working in the dot-com world (the David Chiu remix)

Wake up at 7am after going to bed at 2am because you needed to watch “The Rundown” before returning it to Blockbuster in the morning.

Feed Simon while half awake then climb back into bed.

Wake up at 8am because Simon is clawing the baby gate and needs to use the restroom.

Get ready for work really quickly and forget to take your vitamins - again.

Grab a bottled tea and two Atkins candy bars for breakfast.

While crawling on the freeway to work, realize that the Atkins candy bar only has 140 calories and is not a sufficient meal for a 2500 calorie diet.

Don’t listen to the radio on the drive to work in order to practice focusing on emotions and imagination for acting.

Once you arrive at the parking garage, take your 100k mile ‘93 Ford Taurus to get the rear breaks replaced and wonder how much longer your car will last.

Stay in the office for the weekly catered lunch and have half of a chicken salad, egg salad, and tuna salad gourmet sandwich but don’t eat any of the bread because you’re trying to do the low-carb diet again.

Spend the day working on HTML/JSP code while listening to “Don’t Disturb This Groove” and a bunch of other 80’s and 90’s soft rock tunes 100 times in hopes to stay “emotionally sensitive” and “connected” for acting class.

Lip sync and groove to every song with your headphones on and music turned up - not caring if your co-workers think you’re wierd.

Realize that your co-workers think you’re wierd but don’t care and kinda like it.

Remind yourself that you need to get your proofsheets to your commercial agent and also need to check with your theatrical agent to see if they have made a decision on what photos to use.

Remember that you had a great idea for a unique TV show and do internet research on how to pitch a show to a network.

Receive and read an email from your commercial agent on how to be a good client and worry that you will get dumped from your agency since you have not booked a job in two years and have been on fewer auditions.

Realize that you forgot to call your acting partner about rehearsal and that you have to perform in class tomorrow.

Have the strong desire to go to the gym since it’s been over a week since you’ve last been there, but realize you’re too busy and need to help clean the house with your wife.

Pickup this month’s issue of Men’s Fitness for motivation and inspiration in the gym.

Get too hungry and blow your low-carb diet by eating a Burrito Ultimo w/ sour cream, no rice - from Baja Fresh.

Eventually go to sleep sometime around 2-3am after writing this entry and trying to digitize video for your website.

Crashing…

My lack of sleep is catching up with me. The only reason I am awake is because Simon needed to go outside. I still have a lot I need to do but it will have to wait till tomorrow…

Well it started out as a good day…

Today Heather and I woke up at 6am to take our corgis Lulu and Simon for a hike at Runyon Canyon. Simon did a pretty good job keeping up with us as we hiked up the hill but after a little while we thought it would probably be better if I carried him. What we quickly discovered is that Simon is the ultimate people magnet. Almost every single person we passed would emit the sound “OH!” as they walked over to pet Simon. “That’s the cutest puppy I have ever seen. How old is he?” was the popular question of the day. Unfortunately this made Lulu quite jealous since she is used to being the center of attention.

After leaving the park we were really hungry so we headed to one of our favorite Mexican restaurants - Poquito Mas. It was actually only 10:30am when we arrived but luckily they were open. Heather had a chicken burrito and I had the chef special - a roasted pasilla pepper with cheese on chicken with mango salsa. MMMMMmmmmm!!

(now the bad part…)

On our way home we decided to stop by Petco to get a few pet supplies. After buying what we needed we walked to the car and proceeded to put Lulu and Simon in the backseat. STUPIDLY, I placed my wallet ON TOP of the car. I remember thinking to myself, “I shouldn’t put my wallet here, but I will remember to get it.”‘

Well I didn’t.

I didn’t realize my wallet was missing until after we arrived at home and were taking our things into the house. When I started to look for my wallet I got a flashback of me, placing my wallet on top of the car. I quickly told Heather and jumped back in the car and headed back to Petco. On the way I scanned the road for my wallet. There was a very slight possibility that maybe my wallet didn’t fall off the car until a little while after we were driving. NOTHING. Then I arrived at Petco and searched the parking lot. NOTHING. Then I went inside the store and asked the cashiers. NOTHING. That’s when I started to panic.

I jumped back in my car and rushed home. I started to think of everything I needed to do to protect myself. Then I started to think of the horrible possibility that some kid or some bad person would find my wallet and think they had struck gold. My wallet had all the usual things - credit cards, drivers license, blockbuster card, insurance cards, and my SOCIAL SECURITY CARD.

DAMN!

How stupid am I to have my social security card in my wallet. Now anybody could use my wallet and all it’s info to wreak havoc on my life by committing identity fraud. Or maybe they would just max out all my credit cards. Now I was starting to feel sick.

When I got home Heather already had ideas of what I should do: cancel all my credit cards and call the credit bureaus. So I did. Then I started searching google for other suggestions. In my search I found this list:


1. File a report with the police immediately. Get a copy in case your bank, Credit Card Company or insurance company needs proof of the crime.

2. Cancel each credit and charge card. Get new cards with new account numbers.

Call the fraud departments of the major credit reporting agencies:

Equifax (800) 525-6285
www.equifax.com

Experian (888) 397-3742
www.experian.com

Trans Union (800) 680-7289
www.transunion.com

3. Ask them to put a “fraud alert” on your account and add a “victim’s statement” to your file requesting that creditors contact you before opening new accounts in your name.

4. Ask the credit bureaus for copies of your credit reports. Review your reports carefully to make sure no additional fraudulent accounts have been opened in your mane or unauthorized changes make to your existing accounts. In a few months, order new copies of your reports to verify your corrections and changes, and to make sure no new fraudulent activity has occurred.

5. Report the loss to your bank if your wallet or purse contained bank account information, including account numbers, ATM cards or checks. Cancel checking and savings accounts and open new ones. Stop payments on outstanding checks.

6. Get a new ATM card, account number and Personal Identification Number (PIN) or password.

7. Contact the Social Security Administration (fraud line): (800) 269-0271

8. Report your missing driver’s license to the department of motor vehicles. If your state uses your Social Security number as your driver’s license number, ask to substitute another number.

9. Change the locks on your home and car if your keys were taken. Don’t give an identity thief access to even more personal property and information.


Well it started out as a good day…

Radioactive cat, puppy boot camp…

Today I picked up our cat Oliver from radiation treatment of hyperthyroidism. Oliver is doing fine. The “operation” is actually just a shot of radioactive material to shrink the tumor in his thyroid. Only problem is that Oliver and his “waste” will now be radioactive till March 12th. That’s right. We have a radioactive cat. This means we have to limit our direct exposure to him. We were told that if we were to hold Oliver to our chest for 24 hours it would be equivalent to a chest x-ray. Nothing that will kill you or even harm you - in the short term, but a lot of radiation exposure could cause cancer…

Our puppy has been detained in puppy boot camp for an extra week. He hasn’t perfected his commands yet. The other day I went to visit him and take him for a walk. I even tried some of the commands such as “sit”, “down” and “heel”. He’s pretty good, except he’s super hyper and easily distracted. Hopefully he will get to come home soon.
