Well I am on [a break from the show], so yesterday was pretty easy. My dogs-Taffy and Shadow, who are Cocker Spaniels, and Indy, who's a Basenji- woke me up around eight o'clock because they wanted to go to the bathroom.

After I sent the dogs out, I made myself breakfast and a cup of tea. I usually have like, Pop Tarts or cereal and a grapefruit. Then I grabbed the paper. I always read all of the front page first to see what's happening, then I flip throught the entertainment section.

After breakfast, I picked out the clothes I was gonna wear for the three auditions I had that day, took a shower and put some gel through my hair.

Before I left the house, I played with my dogs for about 1/2 an hour or 45 minutes. I usually get them all hyper so that they are dead for the day. Oh, and I always listen to music in the mornings. If I don't have music on, I will go right back to bed. Yesterday I listened to Crash Test Dummies and Weezer .

I left my house at 11:15 for my 12 o'clock VJ audition for MTV. I listened to Depeche Mode on the way. They're my favorite band. At the audition, I introduced a video and a commercial and did a dummy interview with John Mellencamp.

I got home from the audition at about 1:40, ate a frozen Tombstone pepperoni pizza for lunch, then went to an AT&T* commercial audition, where I had to be a grunge rocker. When the audition ended, I went straight to my next audition in Hollywood for a TV show.

I got home about 3:30, played with my dogs, then I started working on my garage. I'm converting it into a Photography darkroom and studio.

For dinner, my girlfriend, Monica**, and I went to a restaurant called Stanley's, where I had cajun chicken pasta. After dinner we met my mom, Irene at a shoe store, because I wanted her help in getting my sister, Natalie a pair of shoes for her birthday.

After we got the shoes, we went to Starbuck's for coffee and then ran into Tower Records and picked up the Counting Crows album.

After we walked home, I worked on the garage until about 12:30 and then had some Ores and milk- I always have cookies and milk at night- and watched MTV.
