saturday!
so today i took a theatre dance class but my calves were really sore from ballet yesterday morning.
for breakfast we had our usual steel cut outs with a banana and a flourless english muffin.
for late lunch/dinner we're having more organic white corn with sauteed kale & red onion in olive oil & some quinoa! nothing too big of a change, these are pretty stable staples over the past few days,but i thought i would update anyway. and tony is currently also slicing up some of our fresh organic pineapple we got (half price this week) at whole foods.
in other news! last night i went on an audition for a USC film and got the part! it's a short film so it shoots tomorrow night from 5pm to 10pm and tony is going to be in it too! i can't wait to work on it, i think it will be a lot of fun. I'm playing a rich spoiled teenage brat & tony is playing the boy that i sneak into my bedroom while my babysitter is studying.
i went over to the samuel french bookstore the other day (on sunset blvd.--there are only FOUR in the world, one in NY, one in London, and two in Los Angeles) so it's a really really cool bookstore full of all industry related books on film, tv, theater, acting, and all that stuff. it's definitely going to be my new hang out. while i was there i bought a great book called "true and false" which is written by a very popular playwright of our time, david mamet. it's a book about acting but it's very general so it covers a lot of different topics. (one of the topics is how actors today lovvve to stay in school and never go out into the real world...)
so after we eat we are going to head down the street and do an open mic!

hello thursday!
today we woke up and had steel cut outs with a flourless english muffin & honey for breakfast.
for lunch we had a red pepper and mushroom wrap with a sweet potatoe.
annnd....because TONY had to go to work and we took too long at whole foods, we didnt have time to make dinner. but we will be making another big granola thing & we both had rice dream mint pies & bananas. (with almond butter & agave nectar sweetener..)
not the healthiest of days.. and i havent exercised yet today.. but yesterday was a really good exercise day because i ran and i took a dance class. tonight i might go take a tap class at 930 because tony is putting a lot of pressure on me that im doing nothing with my life which is NOT the case. can you tell im writing this blog all by myself?! im so angry at him because he claims that i do nothing which isnt true. i missed my open mic tonight because we were running late & i sort of made it sound like it was his fault and he frrrreeeakkked out. even though it sort of was his fault. but anyhow, im reading a really great new book that is apart of the NYU acting curriculum called 'true and false' by david mamet. i also need to spend time memorizing a monologue for acting class.

KALE KALE KALE!
Today we made Sauteed kale with onions and mushrooms and it was delicious. For those of you who are like..what is kale?? Kale is a leafy vegetable. It has the same consistency as spinach, but it's a little heartier & looks like it has more 'veins.' It was a great addition to the mushrooms & onions we normally enjoy alone in a wrap. I suspect we'll be making more Kale again soon. Plus, it's super healthy. Kale is one of the super foods that people hear about & read about in magazines but you never really go out and make it because your mom never made it for you when you were littles probably. like spinach & broccoli. we all know what thats about. but kale is special. just in the produce section and supperrr easy to deal with.
THEN! We made another super amazing baked granola snack. We juiced some oranges & a white nectarine, mixed it with almond butter (made by earth balance...its lightly sweetened with agave nectar), some honey & a bunch of oats from the bins at whole foods. and! a bag of whole foods trail mix that has different nuts, raisins and a little chocolate. (not vegan, but a little bit is okay..)
This got us to thinking and talking about how crazy it is that everyone doesn't just make their own granola bars! We eat tons of granola bars every day and they have tons of ingredients and preservatives we dont know about AND they cost a lot! and when you make it yourself, you get to control everything about it and decide exactly how you want it. and it's really soft & just tastes fresh like a fresh pie. mmmm.. Once you start eating the healthy versions of all your favorite stuff, it's crazy how quickly you'll get addicted to it. We literally eat our granola snack and treat it like it is an amazing pie or a dairy queen blizzard. With no need to feel guilty!!! Plus, it gives you a noticable amount of energy. You literally feel as though you are fueling your body, because you are. your giving yourself what you want. and i cant tell you how many times i read something about one of the new staples in our diet (tons of vegetables, kale, oats, quinoa) about how it cures and prevents cancer & just fights disease like crazy.
but you know what else fights disease like crazy?? LAUGHTER!! which is why we are happy to be comedians & to spread the love every way that we can. (the cheesy police are off today wink wink.)
and in our comedy news--today we auditioned for a pilot presentation for comedy central. it's a remake of a 70s game show called 'the better sex.' except in this version you compete against your ex. of course we pretended we were broken up and just hit it out of the ballpark. super exciting gig. we got to fight and make everyone laugh which is exactly what we're good at.
we also did our spots at our comedy club tonight. :) :)
goodnight for now..might take a walk through west hollywood & watch the gays walk their dogs. best neighborhood !
