Well Shit

Today was weird. I had two auditions one at 11 am and the other aroud 2 45 pm and I had planned to just mill around downtown and run lines for the next audition in between. You'd think that it'd be a relatively easy day but it was exhausting.

On the way to the first audition I got rear-ended on the freeway while sitting in traffic so I had to deal with all of that mess. Poor kid who hit me was so upset. Luckily there is very little damage to my car so I'm not really worried about it. It did make me about 30 minutes late to my audition though, so I had Sheila call and warn the casting directors, but they didn't even seem to notice thank goodness. First was the audition for IHOP commercial. It was fine. Easy. Sat there and reacted to someone getting knocked over. It's amazing how many people they see for a 15 second spot that literally requires turning your head and perhaps smiling. It is so counterproductive.

Then I grabbed a quick bite to eat and went and sat in front of the studios in Culver City and waited for my audition time. Kind of boring but there was a nice breeze and I went over my copy before the audition. Was pretty cool to meet Sharon Lawrence, she is just beautiful and so nice and sweet and she gave me fantastic feedback and I think I have a good/fair shot. I am glad I got the chance to audition because it was fun and I felt really good about it after. Even though I was super nerve wracked beforehand. As always, whatever happens happens. I have let it go.

I'm so drained. It was a rollercoastery day. Butterscotch is very sick. I think this is his last week on earth. I'm very sad about it. Trying to stay positive and celebrate his life.

  2. Just Jeff, my computer wouldn't let me post a profile. I lost my family dog in December and read this article shortly after. Really enjoyed it.
