I spent a lot of today just...well, doing nothing, really. I got a call from some family friends, which sounded urgent; it turned out to be that they only wanted to drop off some dinner they'd made for my sister and myself. Thoughtful, but we DO seem to be surviving okay... lol ( Read more... )

Well, the audition went okay, I think. I'm not really the best judge of myself, so I'm just gonna wait and see if I get a callback or not. Tamara and Hannah were also there, so obviously Rob's statement about being alone was slightly misrepresented. lol. Beyond that, I watched Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, and I'm going to attempt to start ( Read more... )

I spent a fair amount of time (well, for me) just drilling lines today; and as confident as I am that I know the overall gist of my monologues, I keep stumbling over the same parts. :-/ Hopefully I'll be secure enough in them by tomorrow afternoon. I know them mostly, but my tongue apparently doesn't (and my brain from time to time, which just ( Read more... )

My sister had some friends over today; fortunately there was enough leftover ingredients from the tacos we had at lunch to have burritos for dinner. lol. I spent quite a bit of time learning lines, which is good; I haven't quite gotten through Autolycus's speech yet (thanks to the long and odd list of trinkets he prattles off), but I'm about 80% ( Read more... )

I'm slightly worried about how much of this monologue my brain is retaining; especially since there's another one I have to learn by Saturday. lol. *sighs* It's actually coming along fairly well, although I seem to keep stumbling at the same points and using the same incorrect words. Very curious. Anyhow, now that I know how to pronounce " ( Read more... )

Well, I've made some progress learning my monologues, although not nearly as much as I would have liked. I think I may be too far ingrained into my "holiday mode" already... lol. *sighs* Meanwhile, I did manage to learn almost a good half of the St Crispin's Day speech from Henry V, but haven't reached the good bits of it yet. lol. The ( Read more... )

So today started off fairly...well, I think I slept through most of the "day" part and am currently on something resembling Dracula's sleep/wake cycle. lol. But my sister and I finally put up the Christmas tree in the lounge, albeit with some interior redecoration of furniture (and some time spent wondering if we need more tinsel; and untangling ( Read more... )

Learning monologues is hard. Fortunately, I've got highlighted printouts to look at. :-P I hope QSE gets back to me soon about an audition time...

Today was fairly uneventful; we took the dog for a walk--that was about it. lol. Oh, and we watched some Family Guy episodes on DVD that my sister had bought the other day. Funny stuff.

Went around the shops today looking for potential Christmas cards and gifts; didn't really find either, so I went to the library and waited for my sister to finish work. I picked up a trade of DC's Earth 2 Huntress (back in the pre-Crisis days where she was the daughter of Batman and Catwoman), a volume of a manga called Basilisk (which was turned ( Read more... )

So the folks headed off to Japan today; they'll be back in a few weeks. Naturally, they're still getting business phonecalls. lol. *sighs* Meanwhile, I started learning my monologues, but after a year's worth of study, the progress is very slow. I also took the dog for an extended walk in the afternoon, which he appreciated. I really need to ( Read more... )
