HERE ARE SOME PROFESSIONAL SHOTS OF GLOBAL GREEN OSCAR PARTY

Lately, I have been busy getting Defcon 2012 printed in the right format. I am also having to decide if I go overseas or stick around. It's a time for some change, and I want to do some documentaries.

I'm feeling a big antsy. Restless really. Right after the premiere and Oscar party, I had a massive falling out with a couple of girlfriends. One friend, I can see why I blew up at her and broke off. That had been brewing for a year, and I was tired of her hounding me on what I should and shouldn't eat or drink. I'm a red meat and beer drinking kind of girl, and she's really into the New Age health movement. We clash on too many levels. I also felt tension while around her, on guard, and my mind filled up too much with her presence. And, everything had to be on her terms, what movies we would see, what restaurants, etc. She always lent her rather blunt and outdated fashion opinions. She lived in a world full of fashion and food rules, and saw herself as an aristocrat, thus somehow better than the rest of humankind.

Sister, I have a bit of news for you. You and I are simply two members of the human race, a small part of six billion people!

My conclusion, is that in order to stay productive and creative, maybe I have to be tougher on toxic people. I think maybe that's what just happened. Maybe I was like a horse kicking, and kicking at toxic people.

I always encourage creative people to be very careful on who and what they spend their time with. The kind of people you hang out with is critical, and the wrong kind can fill up you head too much with trivial things, or distract you. If you have a great idea on a creative level, do what it takes to keep that creative idea, and bring it to realization!

Anyways, just some thoughts.

I WENT TO THIS EVENT A FEW DAYS AGO - MORE INFO.

On green living: First of all, I live in my version of a reasonably responsible lifestyle, although I don't take it to extremes. I think that the little steps add up a great deal.

For an instance since childhood, I have always turned off any light I am not using. I was taught to do that by my parents. Next, although I drive 10 or 12 cyl. sports cars a lot, and a truck that hauls my horse trailers - I do park in one spot and do a lot of walking while doing chores in town. I don't mind walking a half mile or more, and it's good for your weight. It bugs me when my friends climb back into their cars and drive to a parking lot just across the wide street.

Also, having your own organic garden is a big move toward green. I grow a lot my own veggies, and teach my friends and neighbors how to grow. We make our own soil form composting table scraps. I avoid toxins such as industrial bug sprays. You can buy a bag of lady bugs, and that usually does the trick!

I don't go as far as to go vegan, and I will advocate the right to eat meat. But let's go back to free range organic grass fed meat. I eat meat because I run 3 to 4 miles, swim a quarter mile on certain days, and surf and other sports on the other days. I need to have the right fuels for my body, and will eat like my ancestors. I'm talking about the ones that lived here before Europeans landed on this bit of land.

I'm a big advocate of the slow food movement, and sustainable farming. I love farming, and grew up on one. But I detest the big industrial farms that had replaced family farms back in the 1980's. Industrial farming is suspect to me, and it's a big environmental mistake. Anyone remember FarmAid and how rock stars advocated small family farms?

Around the house and yard, and at work, there are lot's of little steps I do to consider the bigger picture and the world. But I don't like too many new laws. A better answer is education, and lowering of the birth rate via freeing women of the social pressure to have kids.

It's ok to be childless. We already have too many people, almost 7 billion people. In fact, I'd love to show that it's cool to choose not to have kids. We need to be supportive of our friends and family that do choose not to have kids.

And here's my biggest thing to say about going greener. We need to develop technologies that work, and I believe we can. The engineering is out there, and the minds of smart engineers are ready to innovate. What is needed is the incentive to go ahead a design green cars, planes and industrial complexes. We need to find a way to make green profitable so that companies can afford to pay for retooling and R & D. Research and engineering isn't cheap!

We need to give very low interest rates and very low taxes to those companies, farms and affluent individuals that innovate for green.

All that said, here is an interesting video from the event I went to, where I simply had fun. I was more into the rock and roll, but yes, there's some green things we can do. Just thought I'd say something about it, so that it isn't just party animal banter.

Here are my photos of this very fun event last night.

This week has been a lot, and very fast paced, and full of Hollywood parties for me. Also full of last ditch effort attempts at repairing a few tracks on a movie. I'm pushy and a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to sound, because of all that rock music I did years ago.

Well, here's the deal. I raised hell to get that set of tracks right on the movie, had top dog Hollywood editors nearly in tears, ready to give up - and my pal Mike and I put on the heat. Finish the damned tracks, so we can deliver the damned movie!

Guess what? On the day before the premiere of Defcon 2012, the print was delivered to the theater. The day BEFORE. Not the WEEK before.

Geeeeeze.

I had butterflies in my stomach right up and until that movie was on the big screen and well past the credits. I sighed a good loud one, once I heard some improved sound. Not perfect, but you can get the story.

The premiere went well, and the after party was a blast. And then Josie, a real sweetheart from Spain, invited us to the Global Green pre-party for the Oscars. Just a matter of hours ago, I was there, on the VIP floor, having yet another great time.

I met some cool people, and flirted with some rock names we oldies remember on KLOS. That's right, hard rock. I'm a rocker, so I alway love a rocker. I stood right there, stage edge, inches from those legends that I air guitared to for ages. Those I had followed over the fret board hearing KLOS on the radio at 14 years old ...

I even had my epic prat fall - sober - at the roped off entrance to the VIP area. I'm good at that kind of thing! Totally am, and I admit it. It's life.

Here are some links to the nature of the Events. I'll post more as they come along. Enjoy these red carpet vids and have a great day!

HERE ARE SOME PHOTOS OF THE PREMIERE OF DEFCON 2012

Defcon 2012 had it's premiere last night, and it was a total blast. I live two hours south of LA, and so I rented a limo and brought my San Diego friends up to the screening. It was a kind of reunion too. Some people I hadn't seen for some time. We drank bubbly and chatted as we rode to the Culver Plaza Theater, across the street from the Fox and Sony lot.

We used a Starbucks as a staging area, and met up with my crew and cast. We shuttled them in bunches to the theater. Brian, my co-producer didn't listen to me and hopped in the limo with his pals and took off. He never listens.

The sound on the movie I had to fix at the very last minute. It was a very close call too, having the film delivered to the theater only a day before the screening. That's why I have been so nervous and kinda' spaced out - all that stress and deadlines!

I was nervous until the movie was on the screen and sounding good. Whew!

It was great. And then we all gathered at an after party at the Green Door in Hollywood. My pals, crew, cast and random people got out of our limos and got right in without standing in line! VIP all the way. Feels pretty good too.

In the club, we had a great time! Danced, talked and I actually wheeled and dealed, and made two project deals.

Well, here's some pictures of one interesting night:
