Browsing in My Pictures & Movies

This is my attempt to embed the “higher quality” version of one of my videos. I’d do the full 720, but it doesn’t fit this page, so I’m resizing width to 400.

Director of Spaced (best Brit sitcom evar), Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz.

Comic-Con was a blast, but the Con partying (X-Sanguin pics below) coupled with partying in London and Amsterdam, added to the jet lag and I am seriously exhausted. Tuesday night my actor-director lab in L.A. with Judy Weston starts so I better shape up and start getting some sleep and decent food in me.

 

Guy just tagged me in this pic on Facebook. I’ll throw it up here. This is from last Friday when we all went to see Dark Knight, though technically I wasn’t a DivX employee by this date, hehe. divxdesignjuly182008.jpgSeeing the movie at the Cinerama Dome was pretty awesomesauce. I can’t wait to see it again. I wanted to see it here in London, but it doesn’t open in the U.K. until July 24th. Doh!I’m having a blast here in England. Time to get ready to do some shopping in Soho. TTYL OMFG K THX BAI 

These pics are going on Facebook/MySpace. Oh yeah.

Dark Knight and dinner in L.A. with the DivX Design team tomorrow. Then off to London and then Amsterdam, followed by catching the tail end of Comic-Con. So I may go incommunicado for awhile.

Peace.

In case you didn’t know, I posted a brief update in the news section of the ./shutdown site to let everyone know we are still on for Season 2 of the web series. Unfortunately we’re running into technical difficulties on the site. We’ve hired a group of awesome guys (fans of the show, actually) to completely overhaul the site. Once it is complete we will have a full community for you to take part in as you follow our characters through the second year of storyline. Stay tuned!

Your robot-loving comrade,

These were taken on Kidian’s camera. Many thanks to him for making me a folder of them on my computer before he went back to Japan. Since he’s going to be deployed all over for the next year, I uploaded them for him. They’re available on my MySpace:

You gotta be logged in to see them, I believe.

Enjoy!

I start out off stage and enter from the right. The yellow subtitles mark the sisters, the green subtitles mark Frederick and the purple text marks Mabel (me).

Probably best known for being featured in the animated film An American Tail, the song Poor Wandering One was written by Gilbert and Sullivan for the opera, The Pirates of Penzance which premiered in New York City in 1879.

This was my one and only performance as Mabel in the 1998 production by the Huntington Beach Academy for the Performing Arts. It was a morning performance, which is why I am sometimes really reaching to hit the high notes.

Nonetheless, I’d say my voice was at its prime at this age (I was 16 years old). The note I hit at about 4:45 is probably the highest note I’ve ever managed to reach onstage while still sounding good.

I had just turned 14. I’m not sure if this was taped in August or September, but I think this was the first day of musical theater class where they asked us to perform our audition song again.

I ran out of breath at the end because my heart was pumping so hard from nervousness. I got much better during these years. I will later upload a performance at the end of junior year of high school. You’ll see much improvement.
