2012. Really? Happy New Year. Thanks for being here.
I’d been considering taking down this site as it seems a bit off the mark in terms of my vision for it. While it’s kind of funny being the go-to site for all things Animal Sweaters, it isn’t exactly driving traffic to my music or acting sites. But then I thought, at least people are dropping in. Worse would be to have provided 8 years of content that nobody ever visits. So I’m embracing the trend (scroll to the bottom for the latest animal sweaters link). But dammit, when I start doing live shows this Spring, I better see some animal sweaters on you people! That or I Love NY t-shirts. I suppose what you wear will depend upon the weather at the time. I can’t guarantee that Emma Thompson will be at my shows. I can’t guarantee she won’t be, either. It’s a free country.
Quick update on things. Finally getting the album back to near completion after recovering from my hard drive calamity. The goal is to have everything ready for mastering by the end of February, which would mean an early spring release date. I’m ready to get this thing out there. I’ve enjoyed making it, but I look forward to getting out of the studio and performing and seeing people face to face (or face to face to face if you’re wearing an animal sweater).
Not much has been happening on the acting front. I’ve been getting in front of people when I can and had some good (though one disastrous) auditions and call-backs. I’m having fun at them now, which is something I never thought I’d say. I’ve been considering relocating to LA since I’m thinking more about movies and TV, lately. That’s a major move after 19 years in the Apple, but I’m thinking that a change like that would probably be good for me. Plus I’d be closer to my sister. It depends on how things go here for the next few months.
I’m in week 7 of the P90x workout regimen. Gotta say, it lives up to the hype. I’m having a great time doing it. It’s nice being able to workout at home and avoid the germ infested gym (and I’m not just talking about the meatheads there). Week 7 is basically half way (It’s 90 days) through and I’m still having fun doing it, so that says a lot about how it keeps you engaged (to use a marketing buzz word). By the end of my 90 days, I should be able to join the X-Men or play the Batman in the latest in the series (assuming Christian Bale has grown tired of doing it). I’ve been practicing my gravelly voice for when I wear the Bat costume. “Any one got a Ricola? I’m Batman.”
Big things for 2012. Big things.
Oh, and here’s a link to some (surprisingly tasteful) animal sweaters: CLICK HERE. Just do me a favor and visit my Facebook page, too. I do for you, you do for me…
See you in the streets,
Nathe
A move to LA might be just the thing, and I know Lisa would love you being closer so you two can visit more often. I also think you would make a great Batman.
Thanks, Aunt Lana. I wouldn’t miss the coldness of these NYC winters, that’s for sure. We’ll see what happens in this next year. If I can’t play Batman, at least I could play a villain. Though Heath Ledger would be a very hard act to follow.
