Long Delay and Still Insipid

Forgive me Father. It's been a month since my last
blog entry...
Thanksgiving was spent in Richmond, VA in the pleasant company of milady's father, brother, sister, and assorted family members. The drive down was not too bad, considering we travelled on Wednesday. We hit a major traffic halt just south of D.C., adding an hour to the journey, but it really could've been worse. I hadn't been to Richmond in a couple of years, and the last time was quick in/quick out with a show, so Jo gave me the "this is her life" tour of all her old haunts.
Lots of snow shoveling recently, but I can get it done in not much time. Just the driveway and front walk, since there's no sidewalk on our side of the street. Oh, and chopping thru the huge pile at the end of the driveway that's left by the city snowplows. Thanks guys!
My print agents have been sending me on a lot of go-sees, for which I am grateful. One thing stands out: At most of these calls I am the only blond. There are some guys who have light brown hair, but I am consistently the single blondest male in the room. I may be the only one in the city...except for that guy on Queer Eye.
I've blitzed the agencies with my Commercial Voice Over Demo, and I'm just sitting down to do the follow-up calls. I wonder if I sound blond, too...
I did my annual walk-around-and-get-gift-ideas-but-don't-buy-anything-yet trip the other day, covered a good portion of downtown in the morning and midtown later in the day. And actually got some gift ideas.
Recently got a few residual checks from Days Of Our Lives. For all I know, I may be a very well known face in certain 'foreign markets'.
Tonight is the agency's holiday party, where we mingle and schmooze and meet those other people who are represented by the same agents and think that they're really too close to my type and maybe they should be dropped from the roster so that the agents can concentrate on me. Oughta be fun.
