I'm sorry, All!!!!

To one and all of our loved ones.
You know it's gotten bad when DANIEL is the first one to write in over a month.
I just need to make a public apology for the last month or AND for the next three or four months. Please be patient with me and know that it is NOT personal in ANY way if I do not reply to any e-mails or enquiries or updates as to my whereabouts or yours.
I DO love and miss you all... CONSTANTLY!!!!!
The explanation is this - I am now a full time Graduate Acting Student at Brooklyn College (an hour and a half or more from home by train - underground) and I have also kept my FULL-TIME job AND I am desperately trying to maintain a marriage whilst doing all of this.
My Schedule is Monday to Thursday (9-5/6) at school in AMAZING classes - I'm LOVING it!!!! Then a couple of those nights I'll put in a few hours of work after school. Then Friday to Sunday (9:30 - 6/9) I'm at work - which I'm also loving... preparing this convention attendance in LA - very exciting!!!! THEN in the extra 8 hours I MIGHT have in each day I'm trying to fit in sleep and eating and school work and seeing Daniel for more than 10 minutes!!!!!
Much to my saddness, this leaves very little time to check e-mails, talk on my phone or see friends.
I am sorry!!!! I love you ALL and soon, this busy time will be over!!!!!
Misses and kisses.... and wish me luck.
Love, Taliesen.

Daniel Here

OK, OK, so I never write on this thing. I apologise.....Sorry I'm in America so I Apologize!!!

So after weeks of Taliesen Bugging me I finally have a minute to write about my recent trip to LA. I was over there for a week with work shooting the US portion of the UK reality show 'X-Factor' which for those who don't know is the equivalent of Australian/American Idol. It was supposed to be intense work from when I arrived to when I left however as fortune would have it the first 3 days were spent On the Strip (Sunset Strip), By the Hotels roof Pool or Venice Beach, drinking of course. Terribly hard work. With all of these activities going on I must admit that I didn't take that many photo's however the weired thing about LA was that there really wasn't much to take pictures of. But anyway here is me in the hills, Venice beach and Santa Monica Boulevard. Venice Beach
Santa Monica Boulevard


So after a tumultuous beginning to my trip the work began and the first port of call was the Hollywood sign. That's right, yours truly got up a personal with one of the most iconic symbols in the world and one that represents my future goals. I was much closer than this picture makes it look.
The next 2 days were very intense with work (seriously this time) but I did manage to get a pi of me on set with Sharron Osbourne, who I might add is one of the coolest women that I have ever met. Unfortunately I didn't really meet Ozzy, I just kinda bumped into him to which he responded with a classic Ozzy grumble....Very cool still.
So it was all very exciting and I shall leave you with a small montage of images from the trip and I will TRY to write more often. CeeYa.

The New Life!!!!

WOW!!! Oh my god... SOOOOOOO BUSY!!!!!!!!!!!
So, I'm a Grad Student now!!! It hasn't really sunk in that I'm actually working towards another DEGREE!!! I just thought the other day that in two years I'm actually going to be graduating from College again... this time with a fancy robe thing... A MASTERS DEGREE!!! Huh!!! I'm just so surprised that I auditioned for all these schools but I never actually thought about it as going back to school and getting a Masters Degree... it's kind of exciting...
So, the last three weeks... God... Feels like MONTHS!!!! The school and the program are both FABULOUS!!!! There are ten of us in the Graduate Acting program, 5 women and 5 men, and they are ALL really great people. I am so happy... they are a really supportive, posative and hard-working group. I know that I am going to grow so much from this two years and become SUCH a better performer... and person!!!!
The first two weeks have been really emotional for me, actually, because the beginning of course is all about breaking old, unhelpful habits... both in acting and in ourselves... I mean, BREATHING, for crying out loud!!! And of course, all of our bad habits are based in some emotional base, you know... I mean, if they didn't serve us somehow, usually a coping mechanism or security in some way, we wouldn't hold onto them, right??? So, anyway, for ME the past few weeks have been an eye-opening emotional FLOOD!!! AWESOME!!! I am learning so much!!!!!
Daniel has had an amazing week in LA, also, but he'll write about that when he gets back...
As always, love to you all...
Missing everyone!!!!
Taliesen.
