Follow-up


for some of the Tuesday Musings

I went to the audition. Whether I would do was touch-and-go there for a while, and being with the cast at Wednesday night's rehearsal didn't help my confidence any. I was positively spastic all day Thursday, mentally running in circles waving both hands in the air and screaming, "Aaaaah!" Luckily, I had nothing I had to do during the day and so had nothing I could really mess up. And then there wasn't even any reading at the audition; I spent 90 minutes on the road for 15 minutes of trying to hide in a corner to physically warm up and mentally chill out, and three minutes in the room doing my 1.5-minute memorized speech. Auggh. Well, call-backs are Saturday. I don't know if that's just for when they really can't decide between people for certain parts, or if they pull the best two or three in for every part. Either way I doubt that it'll concern me. With any luck the director for The Odyssey, who is the director for The Comedy of Errors, will decide she needs an extra female body "of a certain age" in some scene or another and cast my saggy fanny in some wee part, or at least as a walk-on. And if she doesn't, I know I can always build sets. Guess I'll have a clue by tomorrow night or Sunday.

One wee small victory: I finally Googled hard enough to find the name of the one-act play I performed as a sophomore in college. I hadn't been able to find it until yesterday morning. I could not for the life of me remember the name of the particular one-act, just that it was part of a number of two-person one-acts that came as a set, and thankfully the name of one of the others in the set. But it got put on the CV Thursday morning right before I printed it, so I actually had both college performances to list.

"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you enjoy the play?" My Valentine's Day evening was quite wonderful despite my wasting most of it on the audition. Hubs and I caught Chocolat, which I had never seen before, on HDNet. He also bought me red tulips, a bottle of champagne, and a gorgeous chocolate-brown leather jacket, which is what my anniversary gift was originally, but that one didn't fit. It's butter-soft, and very warm to boot (the jacket, not the champagne, silly.) We're going out for a nice dinner Saturday night, too. Unless this acting nonsense somehow interferes. *snort*

My trial contacts have come in, so I'm starting on a week trial with them today. The doctor bumped up my distance strength on both sides, bless. But she's right, it does make seeing close-up harder, even with a bifocal lens in my bad eye. I don't care; reading specs can be had at the Dollar store, but driving assistance not so much. Still no new glasses, dammit. And no ring, but it's at least two weeks too early for it, anyway. That doesn't keep me from wanting it, though.
