It’s been a busy week. We did the reading on Monday. I was literally writing an ending as the actors showed up at our place to read through it. But it was fun and I got great feedback about what to add and what worked. So thank you to everyone who came. I felt very embraced and now feel like I can just go forward with what I want to do, create, act. Plus the Victory Café was a great venue for anyone who is looking for a space. It was upstairs and because I didn’t have the bar open upstairs it was free. People could just go downstairs and get drinks.
I didn’t get the commercial in Buenos Aires. But I did get my rewrite done and submitted to Summerworks by the Thursday deadline. I feel really motivated and excited about it. Yeah!!! Wes and I also put ourselves on tape for a film. It’s an adaptation of the play we did where we met and this all started. It was that feeling of “I don’t know how we’re going to get all of this done” but somehow it all worked out. I seem to function well under a certain amount of chaos. It gets me out of my head.
Precious visiting her home and taking care of things
I’m going back to Los Angeles this week for a couple of days. My good friend Nicole is having a wedding party. It will also give me the chance to go to Nadia my favorite bikini waxer. I know it’s the winter but when I feel groomed I feel good. This probably goes into the category of way too much information. But hey that’s just how I roll.
I had an audition for the Bay. You had to be over 5’6” to audition so that should have been my clue. I literally had to do a “fashion walk” with a genuine smile, good posture, and confidence. That was the direction. Sounds easy right. Okay I want whoever is reading this to stand up and walk around the apartment like a “model” and try to do it without feeling like a complete “a—hole”. It’s hard. Plus I was wearing a dress that had static cling to my tights. Not only that I had to bring Jack who was running around the casting waiting room like a monkey. I’m not doing that anymore. If it sounds like a waste of my time, it probably is and my life is too short. I’m not going to go. So there. The only drawback to that is where will I get my droll anecdotes? I’m sure I’ll figure it out.
