So, did I tell you my life’s ambition?
My memory isn’t the best, but if I remember correctly – its on my “About Page”.
I want to be a well known and respected female director. I can see it now: expensive cars, glamorous clothes, exploring the world on my endless bank account, establishing a colony on the moon and naming it “Gee-Gee’s World” and we’ll have low crime and happy times and endless cheese! [figured I'd throw that in there since I am dreaming and all....]…I actually don’t care for cheese either…hmm
But seriously, that’s what I want to do and so i start my quest toward it…
There’s a movie filming down here for a few days – Duplicity. (Starring Julia Roberts) I went to the casting call for that. Man! Was it ever cold! I was freezing! Shin was there (of course
) and wearing a jacket and complaining! Dudette, I didn’t even have a jacket…well I did, in my car…20 feet away…but thats not the point! So yea, they’re supposed to be filming in Mid May, so they’ll email us round that time to say whether we’ve been selected or not….to be an extra. I don’t really care about being in a movie, I just really want to get on the set!
And today I found out about another film coming down shooting here – “Way of the Dolphin”, sequel to “Eye of the Dolphin” – I’m trying to get on that one too. And um, note to casting people, how dat “Bahamian” dark skined gal talkin in dat trailer ain’t Bahamian!! Thats’s frickin British! [check back later for my rant about "Bahamian" dialect in American Movies] I mean, watch it – just watch it and listen to her 3 second monologue! THAT AIN”T HOW WE DOES TALK ON DA REGULAR!
So anyway, back to proper speaking typing…I’m here hoping for the best for me and Shin.
Keep your fingers crossed – and hands clasp in begging-filled prayers.

Oh the galmourous lives we live…not.
Yeah, but seriously, what is up with them and giving Bahamian’s these British and Jamaican accents? *Tsk tsk*
I’m really hopping their filiming in July and not May. And while we’re at it, let’s keep hope alive that we end up doing both, shall we?

Them people need to get with the program man – Bahamian dialect is *different*
And yes, I shall hopes with all my might.
