right back into it

At Rest

I returned from Houston exhausted. The deep well of my movement knowledge was drained to the last drop. I was itching from my neck to my ankles with some kind of stress rash. (Or was it something from the room I’d been cooped up in for a month?) Either way, it wasn’t pretty, or comfortable. I crash landed back to work on Monday, where all the fears and frustrations I’d been experiencing were slowly becoming apparent to the others around me…

Then, my rhomboid muscle flared up again. I was tired to the core last night when I fell into bed.

But, I awoke this morning after a long, deep sleep to find that my skin felt better and I felt ‘perky’.

I returned to my Wednesday night ‘girls’ this evening and fell right back in sync with them. I taught from my heart and felt refreshed and lovely afterward.

Good things came out of my time away…
I was challenged and the work I was doing was not easy. I am a little stronger. I am humbled. And I am more in love with everything familiar.

california, i’m coming home!

map of caAfter 5 full weeks away, one fabulous one in Mexico and 4 long ones in Texas, I shall be returning to my home tomorrow! I can hardly sleep for excitement…

I am most looking forward to seeing R & Marceau, sleeping in my own comfy bed, driving in my own car, waking up in my own room and just simply getting back into the swing of things.

Thank you to Emily, Nolan, & Ernesto for making me feel so welcome and showing me the sights, sounds and eating habits of Houston.

When I first arrived in Houston I received a call from my long lost agents. I sincerely thought I’d been dropped after the last conversation I had with the office (um, over 6 months ago). I had given up on them and figured I woudl just look for a new one when I decided to allow my actress self to come out of hiding and brave the streets of LA once more…And just when I had been toying with the idea of getting myself into an acting class again (after 3.5 years), this little window of opportunity creeks open, blows the artist wind past my cheeks and stirs the passion from it’s deep, dark slumber.

Now, let’s not get hasty. I said she’s stirring. I didn’t say she was fully awake just yet.

If I decide to try this whole actor thing again, it’s gonna be for me. For my joy and my curiosity. I can’t do it for ‘you’ anymore, ’cause I figured out that that won’t work.

After all, didn’t I fall in love with it ’cause it used to be fun!?

And speaking of fun…[URL=http://www.dustinpearlman.com/dropbox/CanonF1.mov]click here to watch[/url] the spec commercial R co-wrote, directed and shot in one afternoon using one camera, 2 guys, 2 actresses and fading light. Um, hello!
(turn the volume up, it hasn’t been mixed yet. this is a working version)

down to single digits!

Of course I have managed to mostly photograph things I find curious or strange, instead of photographing cool things, like my excursion to the Natural Science Museum. (Which rocked).

Giddy’up.
