 I was playing in those big metal spider web looking monkey bars and somebody pulled my leg. Because of that, I had a chip in my tooth which I quickly got repaired, but that was many, many years ago. So now when I smile or talk, there's a little bit of a corner that's darker than the rest of my teeth. It doesn't really bother me that much on a day-to-day basis, but it's kind of like when I used to have crooked teeth that the more I looked at it, the more I just wanted to fix it because I look at my face a lot for self-tape auditions and I actually used to have pretty crooked teeth. And so I got Invisalign to straighten them out and now they're pretty straight, but I have this corner, so I wanna fix it. I also used to wear glasses, which was really annoying for when I was on to set for many, many hours, like my eyes would just get dried out. And so I also had eye surgery. And if I wasn't an acting, I for sure would not have done either of these things, but because I am an actor and I feel like straight teeth are more commercial right now. And in my experience, then teeth that are crooked. So that's one of the reasons why I got that. And then for my glasses, it's just so much easier to put on fake glasses than to have to wear glasses. So what I'm trying to say is that I would have saved a lot of money if I didn't do this, but at the same time, I am so happy that I did. And then my eye surgery, I mean, obviously you can't see anything different in my eyes. Having my eyes done was actually the most magical thing I've ever experienced because I went into the surgery that I was terrified for, but it ended up being absolutely fine. 15, 20 minutes, I opened my eyes and I can already see better, but also I need to keep my eyes closed. So then I slept, but after I woke up, like just looking around and knowing that I'm not wearing glasses and being able to see, like that's incredible. Specifically what I got done for my teeth was in Vaseline. And then for my eyes was a smile, which is a smaller cut because I think before for lasik surgery, they used to do a large seat. And now for smile, they just do a very, very small cut with the laser machine. Like they just suction cut my eye and then the surgeon finished it off. Like it was insane. But anyways, I just wanted to share that both huge purchases, but like I am so happy. Like some people want boob jobs. I wanted in Vaseline and my eyes to be able to see. And now I'm going to go get this thing fixed. Hopefully it'll look really good. The dentist said it's supposed to match the color of my teeth. Let's do a lunchtime scene instead of trying to do my scene way at night. So let's see what's behind door number eight. Ted Lasso Christmas episode. I actually haven't watched the show, I know. And it's been recommended to me so much and the comedy sounds like comedy that I would like. Maybe it's a good thing that I haven't seen Ted Lasso because if I butcher the scene, it's fine. And I don't have anybody to copy because Jason Sudeikis is really funny. And I just found a scene from Ted Lasso where he's talking about Hallmark movies. And he's like, oh, but they're good. But they're actually really bad, but they're good. I think that would be a nice little monologue, short, sweet monologue that I can do right now during my lunch break. And it'll be cute and funny and I can try it a few different ways. 15 minute timer. I'm going to prepare for the self-tape practice and then we will film it. And I have a couple of fun options that I'm going to try. One of them is going to be deadpan. I'm going to try deadpan again and try in my hopes of getting better at deadpan. And it's somebody who, I have my notes here. It's somebody who is talking to their dumb boss and they don't want their boss to know anything about them or have a conversation with them because they're annoying. They're like, I'm just here to make money, leave me alone, leave me alone. That's my objective to just get this person to get that out of my face. And then the other one, I am super excited because I have a new sister-in-law. I just met her, it's Christmas time and watching Christmas movies is my favorite thing. So I'm trying to convince her to also love Christmas movies because I want somebody to watch them with. So let's do a couple takes of that. Has there ever been a monologue that's more true than this one that perfectly describes home at Christmas movies? Cause they are really good when they're off. Like you just see all the Christmassy stuff and Santa Claus's and gifts and cookies and glitter. Let's do the deadpan one first. Take one. Take two. I'm stumbling a little bit cause I'm not quite memorized, but like I'm almost there. So it feels like I'm almost, okay. Let's do take three. Okay, that one felt fun. What can I do? I think I just really need to hate who I'm talking to a little bit more. Not wanting to expose, but also being honest. Okay, take four. Take five. Okay, I think that last one was good. Okay, I want to do one where I just like really, really hate this person, but also deadpan. Okay, I think I've done enough of that kind. I think I did like six. So now let's do the, she's so happy, her new sister-in-law and she just wants to watch homework movies. Like how could have you never heard of homework movies? Take one of this other version. She falls in love with her hot child. Take three. I just realized from my other takes I was saying Santa not Santa Claus. Was I saying Santa Claus? I don't know. But now I need to restart this one. They're good with the sound off. Okay, so I want to get that last line. That last line is getting me a little bit. Like they're good with the sound off. And I was explaining why I personally like them with the sound off too. Cause it's just like a winter wonderland on TV while you're doing something else. Okay, I've done enough takes and I need to go to my dentist appointment soon. So I will show you my two favorite takes after I show you my after of my teeth. This is the before that little corner. Can you notice it now that I pointed it out? I don't know why, but I thought there was going to be no anesthesia involved and I'm very uncomfortable to talk. They said it would be like this for another hour or two, but it looks great. It'll look even better in a couple of days, but I just literally don't want to talk. This is uncomfortable. Like all of this and even part of my nose is just numb. Hallmark Christmas movies are films that feature women from the big city. They fall in love with their childhood crush and the guy usually owns a Christmas tree farm or sometimes he's Santa or a prince. They suck, but they're great, but they mostly suck, but they're kind of great. They're good with the sound off.
