Wouldn’t there be more organs available if people had to specify non-donor status, rather than the current system? Save more lives.

Had an awesome conversation with a check-out clerk at COSTCO today. Sign language is my favorite language. So wonderfully expressive!

Dear Vets - Thank you for getting up when your body needed days of sleep, staying vigilant, hustling, leaving family and comforts.

This morning while lifting weights I recited the stories I'll perform for my Wisconsin performance in Feb.

I hunt for rainbows. Does anyone know why the colors of the double rainbow flow in reverse order to those of the primary rainbow?
No problem is so big that it cannot be solved by a miracle.

My 25 Sec. Scary Scream - Diane Matson’s October Newsletter

The Scream: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UkzJbva0-k

I nearly deafened the sound man’s assistant in the feature “Ray of Darkness.” (I did warn him to start with his sound off.)

I used my scream to audition for the Crazy Lady in the comedic Seattle International Film Festival promo. The director told me when he played it in his office, heads popped up like gophers. Promo: http://www.dianematson.com/reel.html

You can also hear my scream in The Suffering game.


In May and June I toured Germany - Berlin, Munich, Dresden, Rothenburg, Fussen, Baden-Baden, a dip into Austria and enjoyed the “once every decade,” six hour Passion Play that’s been performed in Oberammergau since 1633. We averaged 4-6 castles, churches, museums and sights each day.
The major sight-seeing started on Day 4. BLOG: http://dianematsonactress.blogspot.com/2010/06/germany-trip-blog-day-4-5-26-10_28.html
Each blog entry took me over 4 hours to complete and includes a few photos.

There are actually two versions of my scream. Which do you prefer?
Version 1 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gF5_KDx7B8
Version 2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UkzJbva0-k

Thanks for Reading!
