Yale Trip and a wedding

Was working all day on my final exhibit piece! My Parsons Senior Exhibit opens soon, and I'm so happy to finally be done with my last school assignment. I love how my quilt came out, and it's in such a nice spot in the gallery, if you walk by the school it's right there in the window!



Later: Went to Ajna Bar (formerly Buddha Bar) with GaRam, his sis, and cousin. Just got home- it was so good! Apparently the winner of Top Chef cooks there- literally some of the best food I've ever tasted. Wore super comfy heels! Gosh, so much fun tonight... bleghh! It's so nice to be around nice people, having fun, without any worries.

New Headshots here. Thanks so much to my friend Doua!

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

Graduation was great...


(tim keller from redeemer)
Once, a traveler came to a British village at the foot of a mountain. He had his mind set on climbing it even though the villager's told him it was too high and he wasn't prepared. Overconfidently, he went anyway, one morning, without the right equipment, rations, etc. He wasn't even a third of the way up, till he had to turn back, admit defeat, and come back down the mountain. At the foot of the mountain, an old woman told him,
"if you'd gone up the way you're coming down, you would've come down the way you went up".

Going to have pizza and then go to Madison Square Garden for my graduation, with daddy!

Update: "The Bridge" won Best Short Narrative at the Athens International Film Festival!

Sitting here right now with my dad and cat, at my apartment. Watching 'If I Can Dream' on hulu- i can't believe someone just got kicked off! I've been addicted to this webseries since I saw my old co-star Liberty Ross on it! and Alex Lambert lol.

"So, this is my life. And I want you to know that I am both happy and sad and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be." -Charlie from "Perks of Being a Wallflower"

"The Bridge" that I costarred in, will be showing at the Beijing International Film Festival next month!

Also, the trailer for my most recent film "15 Till Midnight" is here: http://horrorblips.dailyradar.com/video/15-till-midnight-official-first-teaser-trailer/

I saw the most strange, creative, well-directed film tonight called "The Immaculate Conception of Little Dizzle" at the Tribeca Film Festival with GaRam and some other friends from school- I don't want to give it away- but I genuinely think David Russo is one of the most genius directors I've ever seen, and I want someday to be in a movie of the caliber he makes. This was seriously the most original story, and the nicest film visually I've seen in a long time.
On a more general note, this week has been really relaxing and therapeutic. I love spending time on me again. Graduation's this friday. Can't wait to see my dad in two days.

School is finally almost over.. Graduation is May 20 & 21, my dad is coming to NY soon. And the Parsons CD final exhibit (click for more info) is approaching. Classes and working are over. Time to explore and travel and have fun.
GaRam's exhibit was this week, and today he had a piece at ICFF which was really fun. Some woman offered him a job! So proud.
The summer is so close...

Lately, my life has been filled with about-to-graduate activities. But I was able to squeeze some time out to see "Tosca" at Met Opera with my old friend Katha on wednesday, (see below)
and my friend Wayne's play "Laughing in the Wind" tonight. I was unable to see all of either, but they were both still excellent.

love me or leave me alone

I'm sitting here with booty cuddled up next to me, thinking about how i had five auditions in the past five days, one for a guest spot on an hbo show, and my check for that us army commercial finally came in- how could one not feel perfectly content at this moment?
I want so much to be able to one day, earn enough $ to live across the street in one of the East Village townhouses... have a dog... a nice family... and be able to be super creative in every way...
