The LAST week of our teens..!!!

How crazy!!! Today is the last day of this DECADE of our lives!!!!! We've had a lovely last week and have already kicked off the birthday celebrations!

-- Han --

On Wednesday I had a real acting gig and it felt pretty amazing! I was working on a short film that someone I knew at Chapman was directing and it was a really cool project! We were filming on location at a summer camp waaayy up in the hills in Malibu - the drive was actually slightly terrifying, but the view was fantastic! I was playing the role of camp counsellor to the lead girl, played by Ally, a total sweetheart! We really clicked and hanging out/getting to know each other made the day super fun, the hours flew by!

The film consisted of five scenes, and I was in three - which meant a lovely mix of down time and on screen time. The cameras, audio, and lighting were all really professional - as were the crew - so it really felt like a legitimate job (even though I wasn't getting paid) and I'm hoping the footage is good enough to use for my reel! It was truly a great day; I learned a lot, had fun, and remembered what I'm out here to do and how much I love acting.

Thursday, Friday, and yesterday were all really nice chill days for me. I ran a ton of errands, took myself out for coffees and book-club-of-one, submitted for auditions, hung with Brittany by the pool, planned our birthday extravaganza(s) aaaand I may have watched a couple (okay, several) hours of Sherlock - the new best show EVER! Cumberbatch is sooo dreamy!!

On Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Monday I was recalled for the same show - 'Transparent' and it was so much fun! Wednesday and Thursday we were filming at Paramount Studios so it was nice and close and the set was indoors in the air conditioning thank goodness! Friday was outside and it was suuuuper hot but it only ended up being a four hour day which was awesome. A great perk to working so many days on the same show was that I also had the chance to chat with a lot of the cast and crew which was so cool! A definite highlight was talking to Melora Hardin who played Jan on The Office!! So freakin amazing! She was really nice and so funny - the scene was her showing me and another guy around her house and she was improvising the most hilarious stuff! Ahhh I loved it. And to make it all even cooler, yesterday when I was on set she remembered me and gave me a huge smile and waved and said hi! How lovely! :) 

Yesterday was my last day on the show and it was a long one! We were filming a funeral scene outside in the sun for 13 hours.. Whatta day! Luckily there was some shade and a slight breeze so it wasn't as bad as the days when we've had to sit in a stadium in the sun for ages! I also had a fun time because I was paired with a fake husband and fake child (who was 9! How old did they think I was?! Haha) so I got to play pretend with them for the day. When we were finally wrapped I was so excited to go home and veg out and do nothing!

-- Han & Luce --

The weekend absolutely sped by and was HEAPS of fun! Saturday was our day of celebrations with mum and Q. They came into LA, picked us up, and took us to a matinee of We Will Rock You - a suuuper fun musical based around Queen songs! It was hilarious and the performances were incredible, such a talented group of actors! We've missed live theatre so much!! 

After the show we wandered around and had drinks while we waited for our dinner reservation.

7:00 finally came around and we went to Patina to have the most AMAZING degustation dinner imaginable! Ahhh it was 6 courses of HEAVEN! SO decadent, finishing with a to-die-for peanut butter tart. Yum!!

After dinner we came back to our place and Mum and Q came up to give us some little goodie bags, (featuring some delicious snacks, baking treats, and portable phone chargers!) amazing!

On Sunday we slept in and then Luce had an audition. Han waited at a coffee shop on the way while Luce headed to the address in LA.... By LA, they apparently actually meant COMPTON!!! Gaahh! (For those who don't know, that's one of the scariest areas in LA - which is saying something..!) 

While Han sipped her cappucino Italiano and read her book in a lovely cafe Downtown, Luce locked the doors, chucked a U-ey, and bailed on the audition - waayy too sketchy to get involved with that project! 

We made a birthday-related reservation on our way home and made ourselves a yummy dinner before heading out again to go to Mosaic for church.

Today we swapped roles from last week's routine so Luce was hanging out at home while Han was on set - it was exactly what we both needed!

-- Han --

Today I was working on a movie that must remain untitled if I want to share the pictures (which I do cuz they're adorable!) and there were only five extras! Nice! We were dressed up in the cutest preppy, private school outfits and felt like a kick butt remix of Breakfast Club asking to happen.

I was also channeling my inner Serena Van Der Woodsen (from Gossip Girl) and Wishing I was Fleur Delacour (Harry Potter) haha so fun!

It was a super easy day and I got along great with the girls - we were wrapped before we knew it! I made it home before 5:00, woo!!

-- Luce --

I must've been pretty exhausted from working so much because today I slept until 12:30!! Crazy! It's been a cruisey day for me - lounging around watching Sherlock till Han got home.. Then on to new adventures..!

-- Han & Luce --

After Han got home today we only had a little while at home before we went out to an Australians in Film event Han heard about from the Aussie Consul-General. It was a screening at Raleigh Studios in Hollywood of 6 short films created by Aussies. A couple of them were really good! It was great to sit in a room full of people who were all laughing at the same, uniquely and undeniably Australian jokes. There was a lovely little mixer afterwards where we met some great people and got invited to another fun event Thursday night! We said our goodbyes and headed back to the gate we came in through aaaaaand.. It was shut! Whaaa?!! Errrmm... Okay.. We had no idea what to do! We went inside to find another exit, knocked on the security office thing, looked around for a button to push - nothing. After about 10 minutes of priiiime goon squad antics, Luce had the killer observation that there was probably an us-sized gap below the gate. True to form, it was Han that tested out the observation and, lucky for her, Luce was right!

Luce shimmied under as well and we were off! HA! Hilarious.. 

Our last night as teenagers, might as well do something slightly absurd! We went out to a cafe nearby for dessert, a sort of last hoorah, and shared an amazing piece of apple pie and a wonderful almond/plum cake! YUM!

Bed by 10:30 on our Wild Weekend ;)

It's been a big weekend! And not in a late-night-out-on-the-town kind of way either! 

The major accomplishment on Friday was the mammoth effort of compiling/posting our 1 year anniversary blog entry (even though it says it was posted on Thursday, shhh). 

Saturday, though, was a MASSIVE day! We started it off right with a delicious brekky out at a place we've never been to called EAT. It was SO yummy, and if we hadn't made a pact with ourselves not to eat at the same restaurants before trying new ones (excluding Cactus, our Mexican fave, of course) we'd be back there asap! We each ordered the specialty French toast, Luce's had vanilla/caramel sauce, coconut, and pineapple, and Han's had raspberries and Nutella!

Next on the agenda was Han's first of THREE auditions for the day! Woah! It was for a paid (gasp!) theatre show that seems really great! Han's role was a rich airhead who'd been cut off from the family's finances, so fun! Binge watching Gossip Girl definitely paid off for that one!

After that we had an audition together that our agent got us for the same role in a pilot tv show. It was the world's least stressful audition! We only had two lines to say and the people in the room auditioning us were super chill, so it was fun! We also ran into a friend of Han's from Chapman on the way out which was a crazy/cool moment! 

After that we set our sights on finding cliche jobs outside of the entertainment industry. Yes, you guessed it: waitressing. We hit up Outback Steakhouse (hopefully the Aussie accents will do the trick!) and Olive Garden for job applications, so we'll update later this week with our progress!

We had a little time at home before Han went out for her last audition and Luce went to do some voiceover work on the webseries.

-- Han --

This last audition was a reeeaally strange one! It was for a theatre production, so I looked up the theatre ahead of time aaaand the Yelp reviews were a bit alarming..! I decided to go check it out for myself anyway, and I ended up having an odd but definitely not bad experience. There were about 20 people of all different looks and ages there, and once it appeared that everyone had arrived, the director started talking to us. He was this super nice, long winded, somewhat funny southern guy who seemed to have great, if ambitious, intentions for his show. The best part was when an actor walked in late, while his back was turned to sign in, the director mouthed "play along" to the rest of us before saying, in full voice, "in answer to your question, yes, the entire second act will be performed completely in the nude." HA! We all did our best not to laugh and the guy who was late IMMEDIATELY put down his pen, turned around, and walked out! Hilarious. (The director stopped him before he actually left, ensuring him that no nudity was required).

The audition itself consisted of an improv argument with another person about parking in LA, reacting to "something coming towards you" in any way we wanted while twinkley music played, and having one of 5 simultaneous conversations about nothing while everyone was also on stage. Weird. But quite fun! I ended up getting offered a role in the play, but I'm still deciding whether or not it'll be a smart use of my time - I'll let you know!

-- Luce --

I got to set for the webseries and the first thing I found out was that there were photos online from last week when I was shooting my scene!! Yay! The girl who took them was so so lovely and she sent me a link straight away! Here are a couple of the best ones..!

After having a nice chat with Cate, the photographer, I talked to one of the writers/actors and it turned out that instead of having me do a voiceover for the rest of my role (which includes being the morning announcements girl at school) they actually want to film me doing it! Woo, more screen time for me! So it I wasn't actually needed there yesterday and I'll be filming the rest on location at a school in mid July which gives me something to look forward to!! I headed home, excited to eat some yummy food and watch some trashy tv with Han, a crazy Saturday night (haha)!

-- Han & Luce --

Today was another full, fun day at Universal Studios with Mum and Q! Our morning was a little rocky - we slept through our alarms until 15 minutes before mum and Q picked us up, the brekky place we wanted to go to was shut, and the Despicable Me ride broke down just as we got to the front of the line BUT we handled all that with a laugh and afterwards things totally turned around for a perfect day! We rode all the rides, did the backlot tour, ate good food, and caught up on everything that's been going on in each other's lives. We also got waaayy more soaked than we'd intended to on the Jurassic Park ride!

Mum and Q had to head back kinda early to feed the doggies so we called it a day around 3:00 and what a great day it was! We're just hanging out for the rest of the night, maybe going over to see Bri and Brit, and probably (hopefully) having another early night! Han's got a 6am call time tomorrow, so it'll have to be an early night if she doesn't want to be a zombie! 

Ups and Downs

Man, what an exhausting few days! Such an emotional roller coaster - high highs, low lows, and crazy in-betweens as well.

Friday was Friday the 13th, so we were pretty shocked when we made it through that day unscathed! We made the mistake of saying so out loud, though, and the universe threw us plenty of bad luck the next day to make up for it. Friday was a chill day though; Han was on the set of Major Crimes and had a super easy day of background work, and Luce had an audition for a webseries that went really, really well!

Saturday was our roller coaster day. Luce woke up early to go for a second audition (at 8:00am) at the same place she auditioned at last week! It was a fairly cruisey audition and seemed to go well, and luckily, with our packed schedule for the day, it was nice and quick! 

When Luce got home we only had about 40 minutes before we had to head over to Chambers' for a last minute rehearsal! The rehearsal was great and we all left to head over to the Lounge for the show, pumped up and ready to go! The bummer was that between leaving Chambers' place and arriving at the Lounge Theatre, we got a $68 parking ticket and then got hit by another car!! What?!! Friday the 13th a day late, are you kidding me?!! We went into the theatre completely frazzled and frustrated, but turned things around and actually felt like the show was the best it's ever been! We left afterwards to head out to Mum and Q's for the afternoon because Brendan was visiting! We were only 5 minutes into the drive out to Corona, though, when we got a call to turn back around and come back to the Lounge. We don't want to write too much about it on the blog, but in short, just after the show, Sullivan found out that a close family member of hers had passed away. We spent the afternoon doing everything we could to comfort Sully and be there for her. Our hearts were breaking for her and we're hoping and praying that she's doing better now that she's in Michigan with her family. 

We still managed to make it out to Mum and Q's much later that night and we got to catch up with Brendie for a little bit! So lovely! We also further abandoned the diet, true to style when we visit, and had a delicious (late) dinner. It was the longest day and we were so relieved to go to sleep and let go of the stress and sadness and excitement and worry and everything else that was going on.

Sunday came so soon! In the morning Mum made us waffles and we got to wish Qee a happy Father's Day in person, what a bonus!! We headed out pretty early to make it back in time for the show (with a quick stop for boba on the way). Our very last performance of GGGG was a total success, we're gonna miss all those clowns! It's been such a fun experience with so many truly incredible and talented people, we were so lucky to be involved! 

After the show we went through the car wash and finally got the Subi cleeeeaan! YAY! Then headed home for a few hours (with a stop at Ralph's. It took us about 20 minutes to decide on our last baked-goods masterpiece) before the FINAL GoT night!!! 

We were greeted at the door by a helmet-and-cloak/blanket-clad Mike (the watcher on the wall), ready for the last episode of the season!! 

We had dinner and waited for Eddie, who's watched all 3 and 9/10 seasons of the show in two weeks to catch up for the finale!!! 

When Eddie arrived we brought out our (Lucy's) masterpiece of a cake!

The pic doesn't even come CLOSE to doing it justice!! It's French Vanilla cake dyed purple (in honor of the purple wedding that happened in episode 2 of the season) with raspberry and vanilla icing in the middle and golden sprinkles on top! Amazing!! 

The episode itself was SO satisfying, WOW! It was action packed and easily one of the most epic episodes of the entire show, we were blown away! It was the perfect end to our GoT night tradition, we're going to miss the show so much! Already going through withdrawal...!

Today was the ultimate rest and recovery day and it was absolutely perfect. We slept in, did some cleaning, finished Orange is the New Black, started sorting out the car dramas, and Luce cooked up an amazing dinner. It was exactly what we needed after our crazy busy weekend!

Too Busy to Blog!!

This week has been INSANE! We've been SO busy, the time since the last blog had absolutely flown by!! We've found the most awesome balance between work and play - although truly, work is play as well, we're so lucky!

On Monday Luce had rehearsal for GGGG (which went really well! Yay!) and Han went to the Samuel French bookstore to read some plays. Afterwards we went to a little Mexican place for the most amaaazingg fish and shrimp tacos - another Bri and Brit recommendation, they're the best - then headed over to Sullivan's place for an epic marathon of the Bachelorette!! 3 episodes, 5 hours, 4 Sprinkles cupcakes, and 1 mammoth bowl of popcorn later, we were all caught up and decided to call it a night. Such a lovely evening! We couldn't believe it's taken this long to realize that Sully watches the Bachelor too! Definitely becoming a regular thing.

On Tuesday we went out for brekky at Crave with our Aussie friend Natalie, who we met at our Beauty and the Geek callback, and a couple of her other friends. It was so lovely to see her again before she leaves for the next year! Hopefully we'll all catch up again when she comes back! 

Han had rehearsal for the show at 1:30 (another successful one, woo) and then we both had rehearsal at 7:00 to rehearse, wait for it........ The Penguin Dance!!! Ha! A remixed version got added into the show and we were pretty stoked about it!!

On Wednesday we both got booked on the same background job on a new show called Recovery Road which was great! The downside: 6:30am call time! Eeeeek! We left the house at 5:45 and made it to set juuuust in time! It ended up being a really chill day and we were there so long that we made it into double overtime, yeah babyyy!

Thursday was actually a pretty exciting day! We each had cool stuff going on during the day and then we reconvened for chia seed pudding and a double-feature movie night in!

-- Luce --

In the morning I had an audition for a play that's going to be in a theatre festival coming up! It was a really low-key and friendly audition atmosphere and I think it went quite well! I had a fun time and even chatted with the director afterwards about my life and my family, etc. so lovely! After that I went home and hung out and had a very chill rest of my day!

-- Han --

On Thursday I was booked for my first commercial ever! Yay! I had to be on set at 6:30am in Long Beach which is about an hour away, so it was a veeeerrry early morning! I got there no worries and headed in to hair and makeup which was super fun and made me feel pretty spesh!

Next up was wardrobe - which was a teeny tiny, white American Apparel swimsuit! I was a mix of excited and terrified by that, but decided to embrace the intense, 80's cut and do my best to rock it haha.

There were about 20 girls in the commercial and they were all such sweethearts! The commercial itself was a sort of Bay Watch meets Chariots of Fire thing, which meant we spent the whole day running (seriously running, not jogging, like, sprinting. Wow!) on the beach!! It was so, so fun and a great workout too! 

While we were still on break for lunch, a couple of the gals and I went and did a little photo shoot in the beach. We got some really cute pics too!

We were wrapped soon after lunch and I was exhausted! The promise of Lucy's chia seed pudding was about all that got me home! It was definitely one of those awesome "this is my job?!" days, I felt very, very lucky - and I got to keep the swimsuit! 

On Friday morning we had check up appointments at the doctor's, which went off without a hitch untiiiiil Han had to get blood drawn...

-- Han -- 

I went down to the lab and the nurse had me sit down. She fussed around for a minute then stuck the needle in while I sang a song in my head to try to distract myself. On the fourth little vial of blood I was feeling pretty over it - I'm not afraid of getting blood drawn, I just find it suuuuper uncomfortable. Anyway, just as I was starting to feel a little light headed, she pulled out the needle and was done! I rested my head back against the chair and -- next thing I know my eyes are shut, I feel like I can't move my body at all, and I have no idea where I am! I open my eyes, still having zero motor control over my body, and absolutely freak out. In what I can only describe as sheer panic, I started hysterically sobbing and gasping for breath - super embarrassing. The nurse calls over the loudspeaker "emergency personnel to the lab! Emergency personnel to the lab" and 10 or 12 people come rushing in to see me completely outta control. So. Embarrassing. Ha! I'd started to pull myself together and regain control of my arms and legs when they asked if I wanted them to get Lucy. Luce strolls in, no rush whatsoever, and says with the worst bedside manner you can imagine "are you crying?" I sniffled out a "yeah" and laughed, no chance I'll ever become a diva with Luce around! Hahah I pulled myself together and was allowed to go soon thereafter, but I was pretty shaken up! I've seriously never been more disoriented or confused in my life, very unexpected for a Friday morning in NoHo!

-- Han & Luce --

Han's fainting episode meant we were a little late to rehearsal, oops, but when we got there the whole cast of GGGG was finally back together! Woo!! It was our last run through of the show before the first performance on Saturday (yesterday!) and it was so fun to see all the changes in people's scenes and catch up with the gang.

After rehearsal we went to the Grove with Sullivan for dinner (Indian food, yum!) and a movie. We saw The Fault in Our Stars and it was sooo beautifully done! We laughed, we cried - although not as much as the row of hysterically sobbing, attention-seeking middle school girls in the row in front of us! Wow! Haha the movie was so wonderful though that it barely even distracted us; it was such a satisfying adaptation of the book and honestly just perfect in every way. We went for Sprinkles round 2 this week, incredible as always, then called it a night early in preparation for the HUGE Saturday we had planned!

On Saturday morning Luce was up bright and early for an audition at 8:00!

-- Luce --

Wowww Saturday was a huge day for me! I had an audition at 8 for a short film so I was up nice and early so I could make it on time! The audition was really quick and I was done by 8:15!! I stopped by Ralphs on the way home and bought some berries to make delicious smoothies for brekkie and then Han and I hung out for a bit and headed out to the show!! Woo!

-- Han & Luce --

Next on the agenda was Greasy Grimey Gopher Guts! We got to the theatre at 11:00 for a couple last minute brush ups before the performance at 12:00! The show went really well! No stuff ups at all - including in the penguin dance which, with our modifications, was actually quite challenging! Mum came with her friend Robin (who helped us move in to our apartment in Feb!) and Robin's daughter Melissa who's our age, so sweet of them to come! We went out to lunch nearby afterwards and had some seriously yummy Greek food!

Luce had to run off to another audition at 2:00 and Han was catering for an event for Bronzed Aussie at the Australian Consul-General's house in Brentwood, la dee!!

-- Luce --

My audition was for a part in a student film and after having an incredibly difficult time finding a place to park, I made it there and auditioned! The guy that was casting it was so friendly and made it a funny and memorable experience! After the audition was over, I headed home and had a glorious nap! I was completely out of it - so exhausted!! I woke up just in time to leave and pick Han up from her catering job!

-- Han --

The Consul-General's house was SO beautiful and, even though I was late, I ended up being the first one to arrive! It was a pretty low stress job - setting up tables, putting out glasses, stocking the ice buckets with drinks, taking food around on trays. Samantha from Bronzed Aussie was there for a little while too and her friend Laura who I'd met before was my partner in crime for the whole event and she's such a sweetheart! It was a short event, just from 3:30-7:00, so it was over before I knew it! I had a lovely chat with Karen, the Consul General, got tipped in Aussie money because they didn't have anything else, grabbed a couple leftover pies, and headed out to the car where Luce was waiting for me. Success!

-- Han & Luce --

We had a couple hours at home before Sullivan came over to get ready for a big night out in LA!! Woo! We had SO much fun!!! We met Chad at Lure in Hollywood, skipped the line (so cool!), and went inside..

It's SUCH a cool club! He had a table so we chatted and met some lovely people before heading out onto the dance floor! 

We danced the night away and headed to an after party in the Hollywood hills with Chad and his friends!

The house was beautiful and everyone there seemed great but we didn't stay long and decided to call it a night. We got an Uber home, with a stop by a 7/11 for Ben & Jerry's and a cookie, and after sitting on the floor making a mess and eating ice cream, we all fell into bed. What a wonderful first night out as a great little trio!! It couldn't have gone better!

Today the three of us woke up late and made a glorious run to our new local Mexican place, Cactus, for breakfast burritos and Mexican coffee - yum! We spent the rest of the day watching the 2nd season of Orange is the New Black (so addictive) until Sully had to go. 

We ran a couple errands and before we new it, it was GoT night time!! We had amazing turkey burgers, caught up on each other's lives since last time, and watched a satisfyingly epic episode of Game of Thrones! Only one week left, SO crazy!! We spent a surprisingly long time afterwards playing a charades-like game on Eddie's iPhone. The absolute highlight was the Facial Expressions deck, including "constipated" and "silly" to which Lucy guessed mentally retarded after Mike's non-verbal clue, hahaha never a dull moment at GoT night!!

It's been such a action-packed week in the most amazing way, we're totally high on life right now and looking forward to more adventures over the next few days!

Back in touch with nature.. (and reality)

We were back in the US! It was certainly bittersweet - we were feeling motivated and ready to be back and make stuff happen but, at the same time, we would've gone back to Europe in a heartbeat. We took a couple days to recover from the trip (and do piles and piles of laundry) then headed back to the apartment from Mum and Q's. We stopped at Chapman on the way to see a few of Han's friends in the show Machinal and they did SUCH a great job!! Afterwards we grabbed boba with JT and Tosh (who Luce finally got to meet!) and then called it a night. We were finally home! It felt amazing to be back in our lovely apartment :)

On Monday we woke up early and decided to go to the park for a walk and to start writing something to turn into a web series or play. We were still on a high from the holiday, so it really didn't faze us that we had a maaajor struggle finding/getting to/parking at Griffith Park haha. But we got there in the end! We made progress writing, called and emailed a few people, and enjoyed the sunshine.

On Tuesday we went and updated our photos at Central Casting to refresh ourselves in their system. The process took waaayyy longer than expected BUT, on the plus side, we ran into Nick Lee who Han had become friends with on Revenge! It was great catching up with him and it turns out he and his roommate are huge Game of Thrones fans, so we lined up a GoT watching party for the next episode.

That night was the lunar eclipse which was kind of exciting. We went over to see JT's new apartment then went together to a great spot on Mulholland Drive to watch it from.

We had a really great chat, filled him in on all our shenanigans from Austria, and heard what he's been up to here. The eclipse itself was beautiful and it's always lovely hanging out with JT.

On Wednesday Han signed back up with Extras Management and went for a hike/read her book at Wilacre Park and Luce did background on the set of Pretty Little Liars!! We both had great, productive days AND we came home to a really sweet thank you present from Izzy for having her over spring break!

Slightly embarrassingly, all we have to say about yesterday is: Orange is the New Black is SUCH A GOOD SHOW! Also, strawberry, banana, spinach smoothies are delicious!

Today we went for a long hike together at Wilacre park. We were a little bummed not to get booked by Extras the last couple days, but with Easter things are really slow, so we figured we'd make the most of it! The walk was lovely absolutely lovely and we're feeling all inspired to get out and exercise whenever we're not working!

(Luce was feeling particularly in touch with nature haha)

We're going to Mosaic tonight for the Good Friday service, then Han has a date with a really nice guy she met on Wednesday - they're going to a UCB improv comedy show and coffee afterwards, exciting! Luce is going to a party that a friend from her CSI background gig is hosting and Han might join later, so it looks like it's going to be a great night! Yay!

Cruisin' for a Burnin'

These last few days have been so, so cruisey. We've gone to the park, walked to Ralph's, gotten boba, become absolutely hooked of House of Cards, Han's cleaned the apartment and worked out, and Luce has cooked/baked some delicious food! Also, Luce's come down with a pretty bad cold so we figured that was a sign to go easy on ourselves! We haven't entirely known what to do with all this down-time but it's been a really lovely break - especially because the next few weeks are going to be extremely busy (in the most fun way possible, so no complaints!). We've run some errands too and worked on various lines and ideas for scenes and plays going on. We also submitted ourselves today for an audition so we'll see if we get asked in! The coolest piece of news is that, we found out yesterday, we're officially going to be performing in the HOLLYWOOD FRINGE FESTIVAL in June!!! Ahhh SO EXCITING!!!!! We're sure the time until then will fly by too!

The other highlights of the week have been:

1) A wonderful girls' night on Tuesday with Sullivan! She came over and we chatted, ate cookies, and watched an adorable chick flick :)

2) Yesterday the weather was AMAZING so we went to the beach! 

We laid out, read our books, and dipped our toes in the freezing cold ocean! On the way back, we opted for the scenic route and it was such a stunning drive! Winding through mountains and cute little shops and homes, so sweet! And the view was incredible!!

When we got home, though, we realized that - true Hannah and Lucy style - we'd both been fried to a crisp at the beach!!!

Hahahah it was pretty freakin hilarious, we couldn't believe it! Classic. We're doing better today though and now we've just got a head start on that LA tan! 

Today's shaping up to be another quiet, errands day. We're planning on going to see the LACC one act plays tonight, which should be a blast! We've been called in to help out at Chambers' bootcamp tomorrow, so we're finishing the week strong and we'll be all rested up and ready to go for this jam-packed month ahead! 

Another Opening, Another Show!

The shows this weekend went SO WELL!!! YAAAAYYY!! We couldn't be happier; all four shows sold out, we did our very best each time in our roles, we bonded heaps more with the amazing cast, and our wonderful friends and family came and supported us! Perfect!

Mum and Q came to our first show on Saturday and gave us each a beautiful bouquet of flowers (which are now on our table in a drink bottle and a travel mug, the best we could come up with far vases haha).

Before we knew it, we were shouting out "Great green gobs of greasy grimey gopher guts, and I forgot my spoooon!" And the first show was done! We'd officially made our professional, Hollywood debut!!! We had about half an hour off before the next show, so the gang all ran to subway for lunch and we were back at it! The second audience was even more responsive than the first! It also included JT who came and watched the show, so sweet! We finished the day feeling proud, content, and excited for Sunday! 

We went home, exhausted, and flopped on the couch to FINISH True Blood. Like, the whole show. 6 seasons. Hahaha we couldn't believe we'd watched so much but we're already looking forward to the 7th and final season! 

Sunday, yesterday, we woke up extra early to allow for daylight savings time AND the LA Marathon (which was between our apartment and the theatre). We have ourselves an hour extra to get to the show - and it's a good thing we did!!! We spent 45 minutes trying to battle our way around the marathon, getting a liiiittle nervous, until we finally made it onto Santa Monica Blvd with a straight shot to the theatre! We had our fingers crossed for a parking spot and we got lucky - we actually parked in the same spot as the day before, in front of the same car. We made it EXACTLY on time, down to the minute!! So crazy. We ran inside, warmed up, and we were good to go! The first show of the day went really well on the actors' side of things (we thought) but even though it was a full house, the audience was dead! You could've heard a pin drop! The second and final audience made up for it though, they were roaring with laughter!!! It was SUCH a great last show (well, last for now! We're performing at another venue in June!!!) and we all had an absolute blast!

We went home for a bit after the show then headed to our friend Sullivan's apartment for a little cast party! It was great fun and her place is beautiful! We spent a while in the hottub and then went to the home theatre they have in their building and watched Forgetting Sarah Marshall. We also ate SO MUCH amazing snack food, chatted non-stop, and laughed a ton. It was a wonderful way to celebrate the incredibly successful weekend of shows!
