Today I stood in for Benjamin Sinclair and Patrick Yeoman on Episode 119 (“There Is No Superman”) for the television series Mercy.

Today I played a penthouse cocktail party guest for a commercial titled “Lovely” for a Coty Playboy fragrance.

Today I played a wardrobe assistant on Episode 421 of the television series 30 Rock.

Check another thing off the to-do list: I have a new blog!

I’ve officially released my general semantics blog titled “Off the Map.” It can be found at the following address:

http://benhauck.com/offthemap

You can also access it via the “GS Blog” box at the right.

This blog is special in that it will have a companion Feature regularly running in ETC: A Review of General Semantics, the journal for general semantics. To subscribe to ETC, become a member of the Institute of General Semantics. You can do so by clicking here.

The blog will feature my current ideas and understandings about general semantics. I regularly have a flow of ideas, so the content should be updated fairly regularly but I have no set schedule for writing in the blog. My best guess is that I’ll have a new entry every few weeks, though it may be more or less depending on my interest and time. Currenty I have 3 entries already posted.

I hope you’ll check it out. You can also subscribe to it via RSS. The design is pretty stylish. It’s a typography-centered blog that also includes some slick animation. It’s just about what I was looking for in a theme for this blog.

Tonight I attended the wrap party for Season 3 of the television series Gossip Girl.

Today I played a Grand Central pedestrian and stood in for Matthew Settle in Episode 322 (“Untitled”) of the television series Gossip Girl.

Yesterday into early this morning I played a beefeater, a club goer, and even a bouncer in addition to standing in for Episode 418 (“London Calling”) of the television series Ugly Betty. The beefeater bit should be fun.

Today I played a waiter in just one take of Episode 613 (“Press”) of the television series Rescue Me.
