12 of 12 for Sept08
I think I've found a great way to continue doing 12 of 12s (because I was thinking about being done). TwitPic + iPhone = cutting out about three of the most inefficient steps in the 12 of 12 process. (That'd be taking too many photos and weeding down to the right 12, cropping and thumbnailing the 12, and remembering the clever captions for those 12 long after I've taken way too many dang photos anyway.)
So, awesome! Lemmeknow if this works for y'all. ;) I'm feelin' pretty brilliant and definitely more eager to continue the 12 of 12 now that I've saved myself a bunch o' hours! New to 12 of 12? Visit Chad Darnell for all the info.
1:11pm: I am the girl of a hundred lists! Confirming tomorrow's Obama spec ad auditions first. Then on to showcase business and sending gifts to proofers.
3:13pm: Taking my daily dose of Perfect Food Super Green Formula. I love this stuff. It's especially great with cold leftovers. Yum!
4:27pm: Countersigning a Cricket Feet Showcase writer's release. Submission deadline in a half-hour! :)
6:01pm: On our walk. Our next door neighbor's succulents always make me think of Courtney and Renee, two friends from totally different times in my life who always remind me of one another.
6:13pm: Headed north of Montana to look at houses again. Our ritual! Real estate shopping! :)
6:24pm: Pretty house on 11th and Alta. Hummingbirds divebombing all over the place. I so love where we live!
6:34pm: Still on Alta. LOVE the glasswork in this door! Stunning! And their front yard is made for sipping cocktails and reading scripts! It's like a back yard with a patio and loads of grassy goodness.
6:46pm: Fresh cement and a recent walk-thru by a puppy dog outside 601 15th St. (which is a stunning compound with a gorgeous water garden in front). Hee! So cute, those puppy prints!
7:02pm: 616 19th St. It's not for sale, but maybe if we asked nicely. ;) Just met a real estate agent walking her dog. This area is pricey! But sooo pretty! She was on caravan through one of the houses we were looking at and recalled it to be $3.9M or $4.2M. Signs up EVERYWHERE for open houses Sunday. EVERYWHERE.
7:17pm: Keith's next car. Ittybitty!! My next car, however, will be a big 'un. ;) Hoping the FX-45 goes hybrid soon. :)
8:05pm: Home after an incredible two-hour walk ready to dive into a scrumptious Subway salad and then the longest shower of my life. Ahhhh... (And yes, it was a long shower and I actually "ahhhhhhh"ed several times during it. Now for a bit more work and then it's bedtime. Long day tomorrow. Very exciting!)
Thanks, Chad, for another wonderful 12 of 12 experience. :) Kiss, kiss!

$3.9 - $4.2M? I couldn't even afford to split the rent on the pool house with Kato... lol Glad you figured a way to keep going. I always look forward to seeing your entry each month.

Nice pics! I don't really get the whole twitter thing (guess I just don't feel the need to let the world know what I'm doing every moment of my day) but this was cool! :)

Wow, those are some expensive houses. Really good idea using the iPhone and Twitpic too :)

The photo quality sure is better with the iPhone, if you're thinking of sticking with it! And that sounds like an awesome day to me!

To Hibe: Yeah, we're probably looking another block below that one. ;) It's amazing the difference in price a BLOCK makes in Santa Monica. Still, always fun to dream.
Thanks for enjoying (and saying so!) my entries. I'm glad I found a way to keep it up too! Sooo much easier now and definitely still fun. Yay!
To Beth: Thanks! :) I'm not sure I get Twitter to the max either, but it's really great for promoting columns, progress on the book, and casting notices (things that loads of people want to know about--and by keeping the Twitter stream "open" and cross-posted on MySpace, even more than the hundred something who "follow" on Twitter formally get to keep up). So, yeah, I put my personal updates in there too, but it's really a promotional tool for the things I have out there that actors want to consume and keep up with. ;)
Glad the format worked for 12 of 12, for ya! ;) Yay!
To Pete: Right? Very expensive! But so pretty. :)
I'm thrilled with the iPhone/Twitpic combo on 12 of 12. Really awesome and easy. Yay! Thanks for the feedback!
To Helen: Is the quality actually better on the iPhone? Wow! It shouldn't be (based on the numbers)! But that's pretty cool if that's how it's looking to you. :) Yay!
It was an awesome day. Thank you! :) Hope yours was too. As always, thanks for visiting! :)
