Artistic Nonsense

I'm an artist who writes nonsense..... Or is that just part of being an artist....

Just for the Halibut

So... I realize that my blog is mostly dead, and has been for a while. One might say that it's been moving in and out of limbo. Blog limbo. Anyway, the poor thing was calling out dejectedly, and I finally mustered enough pity to answer it's call.
Hence, this post.
Which I suppose I must use to write something interesting... I'd hate to be accused of pointless blogging.
So... I just finished reading a most interesting book titled, "voice-over voice-actor", by Yuri Lowenthal and Tara Platt. I must say it's a most interesting read! Normally, any and all instructional books are left unfinished, half-read or picked through, but only rarely do I read this kind of book from cover to cover. It is very informative, and has renewed my enthusiasm for acting. It is so easy to get discouraged when trying(or dreaming about trying) to get into an acting career, but this book really brings the process down to a level an amateur can understand. It's so funny too! There were many surprising and quirky statement, jokes, and anecdotes laced throughout the book. I found myself laughing so often that those around me must have thought I was reading a comedy. It's a good read for actors, and those who just like watching behind-the-scenes special features on DVD's... This book details, "What it's like behind the mic".

Completely off subject; I've developed a taste for fish: a food I used to have a strong aversion to. And to what do I owe this new found palatability? Why, to a delectable fish called, Rocky. Rocky Fish. Yum.
