A big hello to everyone!
I am at an interesting point in my life where big changes seem to be afoot... life has been overwhelming me with choices and directions and I feel very much like "the path diverged and I took the one less travelled" . I'm not referring to one thing in particular but rather all elements of my crazy life seem to at a crossroad. So sorry dear friends that I have not been around but just like anyone else Life happens.....
I am getting more and more interested in producing because that seems to be the key in telling stories that are worthwhile and that I feel passionate about. Instead of bemoaning the fact that there is only crap out there, I make the choice in my own small way to contribute to the good, or at least I try with all my heart.
I know that Hoshi has gone MIA recently but I don't think that the writers quite know what to do with her character.
In the last couple of episodes Hoshi finally gets to do her job rather than being a glorified secretary " Captain, Mr. Degra on line two."...... I thought that with the turn of events something that would be interesting is that if Hoshi's role on the ship as linguist extended to hacker or code breaker. We saw evidence of that in the simulation episode with Degra. The CIA or FBI often recruit the smartest kids at MIT or Ivy league schools to work for them. If Hoshi were at Harvard I'm sure she would be picked up as a prodigy.
I must say though that with the light schedule of late I have lots of time to work on my projects which I am so thankful for!!!!! So don't be too mad at the producers and writers.... good is coming out of it!
Whether the show is going to be picked up or not is a big question mark, my feeling is that their are pros and cons to both outcomes.
This is one of the many crossroads that I find myself at. But I am a big believer in destiny and my higher power looking after me, so I don't worry... I know that everything will pass as it should. I am not trying to be faux zen, I truly believe this and know that because I trust my intuition implicitly that I will make the right choices. It is very difficult for many people in my profession because it is so easy to get caught up in people's judgments and criticisms. To take everything so personally "do they want me? do they like me?"
At my best I am unaffected by this outside noise, I know my life's joy is to tell stories and inspire in any way that I can- no one can touch that... no one can criticize that.... everything else that may come into discussion is irrelevant to me, just as I cannot control it and don't want to. It's just another side to being in the spotlight, it's inevitable...... but has nothing to do with the real me.
I thank you all for tuning in and sharing that hour with us once a week. We all work very hard at Paramount and I think that I can speak for us all when I say- You, the audience are the most important aspect- as long as you are entertained in some shape or form- we get to feel that we have accomplished something of worth... that is priceless in a world that of late seems to make very little sense and reflectively our lives seems to make little sense.
Okay enough heaviness now, half of you are probably dozing off in front off your glowing screens....
The site is being transferred to HTML and a lot of the issues will be fixed as well as the site being updated.
As for my hiatus, I'll be a London girl for a few months doing a play with my boyfriend who you all know is Tom Hardy.
We are trying to do a convention to raise money for this production and would love to read a few scenes out of the play which is a wonderful new work written by Brett Leanord- a talented new writer and new friend.
I am excited to work with Tom, he is one of the best and most interesting actors I have seen in a long while. Besides that I am absolutely crazy about him!
Congrats to him as well, he recently won the Evening Standard Award for Best Newcomer and was nominated for an Olivier Award!
My best to all of you and thank you for the wonderful support!
