Trade : Childbearing for a Meeting with ICM?

So whattaya do when your only link to a by-the-thread agency meeting with ICM suddenly decides he doesn't want you to be an actor... but rather pack a bag, take a vessel of highly accelerated liquid estrogen hormones, and bear his children  on a desert island somewhere?

Ingest copious amounts of chocolate while wallowing [with or without Merlot] in a bubble bath, that's what.

Damn men and their sudden desire to Tribble-bear offspring!

[Note: If you don't know what a Tribble is... a) you're potentially too young to be reading this, though b) Wiki-Google it anyway.]

My representation situation is sickly-interesting / voyer-fascinating / soap-compelling / sleep-depriving and simply peachy all at the same time.  Fabulous Manager is, as she perpetually is, absolutely fabulous.  I've gone in for a few large-ish agency meetings this past week, clicked with one of them -- but for the most part, still looking for that agent Dude or team I want to... make like a Klingon with, you know?

[...!  And praytell what, Ashley, are with all the sci-fi references today?  You simply must excuse me, dear reader... I've had an accidentally absurd amount of coffee this afternoon, and am -- quite mentally -- a pogo stick.  Obviously, as you can see with the pancaking of my penned point of view...]

Regardless.  Two exciting things amidst all the insanity:  had lunch over the weekend with former ICM guy from Sundance '07, who is the quintessential "power agent" -- and it looks like we might just fire up a relationship, pending a conference call with Fabulous Manager ... and, as fate would have it AS I'm writing this mental bauble-strand of consciousness ... the aforementioned wants-a-herd-of-children-off-the-coast-of-Capetown connection just called, and requested to have dinner.

Now, if I can only convince him to ease me past the doors of ICM instead of musing of rainforests and reproduction...

Always interesting what one of these weeks will bring...

Ready to put her W. Morris-scaling catsuit back on, Ashley Avis

So... the rain-forest did not win out? ;-)

Heh heeh... the rainforest was circumvented at all costs, David.
