Precious Chong's Blog January 26th/2007Two of our goldfish have died. That’s the last time I name a pet after my son Jack. Lesson learned. I cleaned out the bowl and I guess the shock was too much for them. I’m in better spirits than last week. I’ve started writing. I’m in the middle of it. I’m doing a reading of it this Monday and I’m not quite sure how I’m going to pull it off. It’s at 8pm on Monday the 29th of Jan at the Victory Café (Bloor/Bathurst area in Toronto) if anyone is curious. I have an audition today for a Candace Bushnell pilot called Lipstick Jungle. And yes I have to cry. I’ll finish this after the audition to give the full rundown. I’ve had lots of commercial auditions and some callbacks. One of them was shooting in Buenos Aires and boy did I want to go to Buenos Aires. Doesn’t look like it’s going to happen. Precious Chong and her Audition Hi, I’m back. No I didn’t cry at the audition. But I felt better about it. Maybe it’s denial, but I felt more relaxed and had more fun. I needed to have asked for a moment before the last scene, but f-it. It’s done. I’m beginning to feel like maybe my relationship with acting is becoming like a bad boyfriend. Like I’m addicted to the rejection just like with a bad boyfriend you get addicted to the “will or won’t he call, show up, be nice”…I’m totally exaggerating. I don’t have bad boyfriends like that. Because I’m married. Ha! Precious Chong and her fans Oh, this is weird. Someone at my joe job told me they read my blog. “I’m sorry about that audition”. Okay. Why is this weird? Well it made me realize that these somewhat narcissistic ramblings are actually being read by people, strangers, acquaintances. Will this make me change how or what I write about? Like the second season of a reality show. Will I start to clean up my act, get a little glossy, lie? I’ll try not to. But what if my “persona” in life requires me to somehow humiliate myself? That it’s part of my schtick., something to think about, people, something to think about. Precious Chong and her son Jack So here I am. It’s Friday night and it’s just Jack and I. He’s had his dinner (meatballs that I get at Ikea. He’s nuts about them, go figure) and is now watching Treehouse while I finish this. It’s snowing outside so it feels nice and cozy. I feel happy. Oh and I have another callback for a Canadian Tire commercial on Sunday. It shoots in Buenos Aires. So for now, adios.
