so, apparently my new blog rate is 1 blog per every 11 months…oooopsies.
the good news is that this past year has been insanely busy.
in terms of what’s new…check out my updated bio.
Clearly incapable of blogging for myself, I did, however manage to bang out a couple of blogs for the First Weekend Club TIFF 2011 coverage. I think blogging for those guys, made me realize…it’s actually kinda easy and fun. Just like getting all up on a horse or bike, or whatever.
So now, I will direct you there.
go see some movies at TIFF! you may need to rush…but it will be worth it. I promise.
xo, liebs

Random Cuddling!
I love the FALL!
IT’S MY FAVORITE SEASON!!!
I really have no idea who i will be cuddling in the rain with…but for now…my stuffed animals and I will be spooning it up as the glorious summer comes to a screeching halt and I regret ever moving to Vancouver.
But the summer was a good one!
Dear Diary:
-I did my first ever Voice Over Commercial for Tbooth Mobile! I love Voice Over! It’s so fun and you don’t even have to look nice to do it.
- Worked with Robert “T-Bag” Knepper and Julia Benson (http://twitter.com/Julia_Benson) on a film for the Syfy Channel at the end of July called “Earth’s Final Hours”. The wrap party was enjoyable. Me and Julia cut a rug!
-Im finishing up the first 6 episodes of a Canadian series right now. I play germaphobe/yoga instructor Tami Erickson on APTN’s Health Nutz.
-I attempted a 30 day yoga challenge to get in yoga shape to play Tami Erickson. Yoga is hard ass shit. I kinda didn’t really do 30 days.
And now I will leave you with my favorite video for the month of September. You’re welcome.

Meet your new best friends, Teenee & Queenee!
These lil vids were created by one of my besties and fellow Canadian actresses, Rukiya Bernard.
We drove to California together and one day in Santa Monica she turned on her camera and these characters emerged. She cut the footage into these two awesome vids and rest, as they say, is youtube history.
We want to do a reality show. Teenee trying to get a husband and Queenee following her around with her new mini-me baby. (Teenee hates other peoples babies. It gives her low self esteem).
Whaddya think? Are Teenee & Queenee future television and/or internet stars? They should SO have their own show, right?
Here are the videos. You’re welcome.

well, what can i say.
i have been a naughty, naughty little blogger.
havent’ written anything for a long ass time.
one of friends reminded me yesterday that “sharing is caring”.
I’m just not sure anyone entirely cares what I’ve been up to the past month and a half…(not to be all dramatic) …but here is a quick recap for those of you that do.
-went to Cache Creek, BC and filmed “Afghan Luke and the Burgundy of Hash” (which was the most amazing time I’ve had on set…ever. I can’t post any pics though cuz Im in my wardrobe for all of them and we wanna keep it all secret and shit).
-taught an Acting Workshop in my home town (Duncan BC) with one of my home town besties and fellow actresses, Erica Carroll. The kids were really good. Not that I’m surprised…Vancouver Island kids are uber awesome! Cory Monteith, Chelan Simmons…who else? lots of people i’m forgetting…Let me know who I’m forgetting!
- went to NYC to see some amazing shows! Glee at Radio City being one of them. Promises, Promises also being one of them; starring Kristin Chenoweth and Sean Hayes. Seeing Kristin made my little musical theatre heart swell up with glee! haha. get it? And seeing one of my besties at Radio City was pretty damned exciting as well.
- presented a couple of Leo Awards (BC TV and Film Awards) last weekend! Was such a fancy weekend – I loved it. The pilot I did last year, Wolf Canyon won all 5 award it was up for! Go Team!
annnddd most importantly:
Year of the Carnivore is Opening in theatres across Canada one week today!
okay. now you’re totally caught up. Do you feel better? I do. sort of.
till next year,
