New Headshots and Asundry Items

Hello -

Remember me? My name is Madalyn and this is my blog. I used to write here off and on - well usually more off than on and I am sorry to say that I really haven't been blogging for quite a while so maybe you have forgotten me. I hope that you haven't totally given up on me. Well I am here and I want to really get down to some serious blogging.

I just got new headshots done. I am so happy with them. They were done by Michelle Hannay here in New York. She was wonderful to work with and a really had fun at the shoot.
If anyone is interested in her contact information shoot me an e-mail and I would be glad to pass it on.

So now that I have new pictures I have been busy updating all of the actor casting web pages that I am a part of, as well as every agent, manager, and casting director I have ever met.

Also, just finished revamping my web page - I know finally. It has been ages since I have had the time and access to a computer that I can upload the editing software on. Even today it was still a bit of a hassle since the computer I am working on is a bit slow and the software crashed on it about 5 times before I eventually got the first page re done, the photos uploaded, my "What's New" page done and my new "Ask me a question" page formatted. I am so hoping that I can get an internet connection out to my apartment either this month or next month. That would solve a whole ton of issues.

Oh, speaking of my apartment. I haven't had hot water in my apartment now for close to 2 months. I am becoming a master at boiling water and filling plastic bottles to take a shower. Fortunately I can wash my hair in my kitchen sink. Now I must say that part of the fault is mine. What with acting gigs and my part time job I just haven't been at home that much. Though the times that I have made it a point to be home at my landlords request no one has come. Of course no one told me that the plumber wasn't coming afterwords or came and found out that he needed some part or whatever. I just sat (well read, worked on my computer and played with my cat) all day and still no hot water.

Well, this month I only paid half of my rent telling my landlord that he would get the rest of it when I had hot water. Well, that seems to have gotten some action. My landlord showed up at my door last night claiming that he thought it had been fixed. After of course checking my shower and bathroom and kitchen sinks he found out that indeed there is no hot water to be found unless I am boiling it on the stove. Sooo the upshot of this whole thing is the plumber is coming tomorrow. So I will be home a-waiting.

Other than that as I said I have been sending out my new headshots. I have a couple of auditions lined up that I have gotten as a result of those.
