I admit it.  I've been weary of giving in to the blackberry, iphone phenomenon.  In some cases, I just have bad luck with phones. I dropped one cell in a salad, then had no cash for a new one, then used a friends free one that he so sweetly gave me but then threw it out in an alley recycle trash can on accident.  (You ever have that fear like you're throwing a bottle away with your phone and keys in the same hand and it all drops in? Yeah.  Good times. Literally I tipped the can over and then crawled into it to try and retrieve it, however, it didn't work.  Go figure it was covered in homeless piss).  

Anyway, I got a blackberry curve and I kinda love it.  Like kinda love checking email and sending texts. The coolest part is having a camera that actually takes decent pictures. I shot some last week while filming a commercial.  It was with a director that does the American Express Tina Fey, Ellen spots to name a few.  He was amazing.  So calm, so good, so spot on with direction.  It reminds me that people that are great at what they do don't have to be dicks.  They have nothing to prove.

Here are a few shots from my fancy 'dressing and piss free' phone.  We'll see if the commercial makes air. It's never a given till you actually see it.  

Not bad picture quality for a phone, right?

Awesome.. thanks for sharing a bit of the 'biz' with minions of "JesusFav" :) Very cool! It is also fantastic to hear how jazzed you are about your job. BTW, cell phones +pockets = a good thing! :)

I just bought my son the blackberry curve and he LOVES it. It takes great pics, like yours. Thanks for sharing those on-the-job candids.

I have terrible luck with cell phones too. I am forever dropping them so they look scarred and chipped. And one time my cell phone was in my pocket when I had to use the restroom. As I stood up, the phone slipped out of my pocket and fell right into the commode. Before flushing. Ewwwww. Pure win.

Neat photos! Yes, the optical quality is pretty good (granted, my basis for comparison is my Treo 650 which was an old model when I bought it 2 1/2 years ago).

Congrats on booking the commercial! Looking forward to seeing if it airs.

Just dropping in to let you know that you've outlasted Nickerson. He hung up his blogger's hat, and signed off. Granted...I think he did that once before and then came back. But I just thought you should know.

Keep it up! :-D

Hi Annie!

Your hair looks magnifique. I hope all is well. Did Stef tell you I'm taking classes at UCB? I'm channeling more Tiedeck talent. Hope to see you soon.

Thanks guys!

Craig, yes, I know he stopped blogging. I hope to share even a quarter of all those awesome stories he did.

Erin! I heard about UCB-NY. I hear your first show was awesome! Congrats. I'm sure you heard my Dad had T-giving in D-town. HA!

I, too, am part of the crackberry addicts group. Hello, my name is Cryssyer, and I am addicted to my Blackberry Curve :) I have to have it for work, but I do so much more with it. Bonus - I don't have to pay for it! W00T! The pics are great, too. I didn't recognize you :) Enjoy your phone/camera/lifeline...lol.

umm...so,. just after i hear ...'you are 16, going on 17' ...section of Sound of Music"...an H&R Block commercial interrupts the war-torn sorrow. honestly, no idea what was said in the spot because i was screaming like a little biatch Annie!Annie!

though probably not the first time a man has screamed that...er....anyhoo...i was excited.

Saw the commercial in S.C. the other day. Had to rewind and check it again. Thought it was you.
