This coming new year is shaping up to be my time to get more involved with the creative pursuit drama, film and voice work on radio. A couple weeks ago I was invited to audition my voice for some voice over internet work. I didn’t know if I’d hear back from the woman, however I just got this email tonight. Pretty cool. Hope all is well for you all in this holiday season. You may have heard about a large earthquake here in New Zealand. I’m all right as are friends. All my best. "Hi Donavin Sorry for delay in getting back to you.

My ricky bobby costume was a year old but never worn.... out of date entertainment items don't work well for costumes. The scotts showed up in the same costume from last year... see 2006 photos. Overall a party to remember.... read more

I'm only making this entry because I heard the funniest thing on the equivalent of your 10pm news. New Zealand news tries hard enough to make itself purposeful, let’s be honest there is just so little news worthy events they’ll do almost anything to fill in 30minutes. Well tonight they hit new low (high) of pointlessness.
