I’ve got to learn to get my voice. Yes, I have a voice, I’m not talking literally here, or maybe I am. When I saw the poster markup, my gut told me it didn’t do it. For me it doesn’t. The PR poster for ‘Dollhouse,’ just doesn’t cut it. It resembles Faith in a coma from ‘Buffy’, or Tru on a mortician’s slab in ‘Tru Calling’. As much as Joss has championed it, I really hate it. I’m usually ‘go-with-the-flow’ gal but this is where I have to find my voice whatever that voice is going to be.
I don’t mind the extra work producing involves; truthfully I love it. Being on the cusp of breaking back more television to television is important to me. The ‘remote free tv’ campaign is long overdue. When you look at the time spent on commercials, it’s just ridiculous. Yes, you can make good quality television (depending on how you define that) in any time slot, but lately it seems that it’s more about the commercial and the same commercial repeated over and over. I’ll stop my diatribe, for now anyway.
With the prequel, it’s taken all of my spare time I thought I’d have before we started shooting. Actually, AJ takes all of my spare time, which isn’t a bad thing. I wish I were around him more. Just when it seems like we can spend time together, I’m called to the set. Anything worth having is worth working for and as much trouble as juggling schedules can be, I find myself so much happier these days. Being around him I’ve found I keep this goofy grin on my face I hadn’t noticed before.
Late happy birthday, Tomo; sorry I wasn’t around to hassle you, but I’m sure the boys had fun with ya. What is this one? 52? Damn you look good for your age.
I can’t believe MH and J are getting married in what a week? Damn!

Our 10th studio album, Monster, was released on the 22nd of August, and if also available at Itunes and all of the other music downloading sites. If you are one of those filthy music downloaders, then I know you clearly don't love me... I mean our band enough to purchase the CD.
Also every monday from 7:30-10:00 pm on radioBERLIN broadcasts its international Hit Parade! And we have already managed to conquered the No. 5 spot on the Listener Charts with “Labyrinth”!
In other news, I've wondered from my beloved home in Germany, across the English channel and am currnetly visiting Rhian in Bath. It's quite a lovely place, I'm quite liking it here. If you had asked me on any other given day, I probably would have made a smart arsed remark and assumed that I would loath it.
I'm not sure how long I'll stay here, my son has been ringing up asking when Daddy's coming home to see him. Poor kid, he's not used to me being away unless it's because of a tour. And speaking of tours, in November Crap, Flux and myself will be going on tour throughout Germany, Austria and Switzerland!
Hopefuly we can add some more countires to that list soon. I will keep you posted on it. But for now, they are the places to try and catch our shows, in which we will be performing songs off our new CD - we'd surely be mad if we didn't.
And before you leave my really crappy blog, check out our new clip to Labyrinth!

One thing about visiting LA, the ‘bosses’ have easier access. I’ve read the outline for the next episode, ‘Because You Left,’ it made me want to start filming. I really love the direction of this season, even if our new characters Caesar and Ilanna are mysterious, and probably lethal, to all of us. Being on hiatus is wonderful, I have to keep reminding myself, I’m just not a person who likes to just sit around, I have to be doing something. Josh and I have had some interesting encounters with the Paparazzi. That’s just not what he needs right now, in the midst of trying to decide if his marriage is really close. Casts and crews are like family and ours isn’t any exception, we are all very close. Men and women can be close friends. Matt and I are like brother and sister. Yet people on the street see us as the characters we play. The other day, an older woman yelled at Josh for taking Kate away from Jack. I always find that amusing. Josh was a gentleman as always. I can tell things are wearing away on him.
I should go home and visit, this is the time of the year where you can feel fall. Summer is such a short time in Canada, feeling the heat in LA is still surreal to me. Internally it’s time for the seasons to change. I have to confess, I don’t miss the hard winters or the jobs I had. Then I tend not to stay in one place or job for very long. I guess that’s why acting appeals to me right now. Soon I’ll be on the road doing PR for my first movie.
This year, I’m thinking of having a big Canadian Thanksgiving at my house. I remember the fun I had visiting Viggo, so I should return the favor, not just towards him but to those near and dear to me. One perk, I get two Thanksgivings. Speaking of Vig, he was so sweet to remember by birthday, even if it was a belated one. Yes, I am really 29.
If anyone is wondering around LA with nothing to do, I’m on my own through this holiday, Josh is filming, Matthew is off traveling and things are tense with salary negotiations. Matt and my solidarity have rubbed off on everyone else in the cast demanding higher salaries, and rightfully so. My name is on the outline for the next episode so that’s a good thing, right?
