Luckily

I am feeling much better today. Nothing like puking out everything inside of your body to make you reevaluate what you eat. Though I think it was a 24 hour flu thing and not poisoning. But I didn't get a fever so who knows. At least I got out of work for two days. Need the money but probably need the days off as well. I was getting run down.

I think this past Saturday was my best performance to date of the show, I felt comfortable and was kind of happy that I didn't have anyone in the audience. Well technically my friend Rob was there but I did not know until after, thank you Rob. I think I heard the other actors saying there were some problems in their scenes but there was nothing crazy going on while I was onstage. The situation with the burlesque dancers is just too bizarre. We clearly all hate each other and they seem to have no concept of how loud their music is. They have a teeny tiny theatre and their music blares so loud you can hear it on our stage. It's just ridiculous. Maybe they are trying to distract their own audience from the horribleness that is their show by making them deaf. It's really just ridiculous. I wish we had more performances in a weekend though, because it would be so much nicer to have more time to hang out with the cast. If I choose to audition for their next show, Julius Caesar and get cast then that show will be running 3 nights a week for 3 weeks, which is pretty awesome. (At the Powerhouse Theatre). We shall see.

My friend Lovelle Liquigan who is in the cast with me has her own theater company which I actually was unaware of but is so awesome and I hope she and her friends develop some work soon because she has fantastic vision and style and wants to do some really different new work which i think is fantastic. I'd love to work with them more. She sent me a few pages of an adaptation she is writing and it looks really great and I am super excited for her.

On monday I went up to Santa Barbara with Ty, Leigh, Brennan, Jessie, and Josh to speak to the BFA Junior class about our experiences in Los Angeles since we graduated. I didn't think I would have anything of great importance to contribute but actually it ended up being a really great reminder of what we have accomplished and learned in a short amount of time. I think we all contributed really great things and opinions about how to handle not only the transition from school to working but also how to navigate our careers and such. The class was really lovely and receptive and I think we all had a splendid time. It was also really great to see my one true love Zach Appelman who was in town from Yale and spend a lovely day with him and fellow Yale student Shannon Sullivan. We spent the rest of the day eating at Giovanni's in Isla Vista and I did get some Freebirds because I hadn't had any in a year. Though I am really hoping that isnt what made me sick. It can't be right? I would have felt sick way sooner.

Sage Parker Lang, who teaches the class we went up to speak to actually got me an audition with her friend Sharon Lawrence who is creating a pilot for a series of webisodes about college journalists. I am reading for them on Monday, should be a great experience regardless of the outcome. I guess she saw my website that is linked on Sage's and she emailed me with the sides.

The most bizarre thing ever, this lovely girl from the junior class told me she had seen my website and that from my headshots she thought i would be super tall and was totally weirded out when she saw my midget ass walk into the classroom. How weird is that? No one has ever thought I looked tall in any capacity so I guess that's pretty funny.

Ok I'm gonna go lay around some more. How great were the Tonys on Sunday? I just love NPH. and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the cast of HAIR. But what is Rock of Ages? It looks weird and I can't get on board with anything involving Constantine Maroulis. Though anything that makes Bret Michaels get beheaded by a giant piece of set is well worth it.

For real i go now. I can hear my brother torturing my dog.
