Dumb things I have done

I am very introspective today. Perhaps because it is Sunday. I love Sunday. Great day to sleep in, read and catch up on laundry. I started thinking of dumb things I have done and not just at auditions, either.

I remember once when this woman cut me off in traffic, I yelled at her. And her kid said, "mommie, why is that woman yelling at you"? I guess I could have restrained myself. But she did cut me off and 2 other drivers in her big GMC piece of shit SUV. Oh well.

I had a pretty good audition going on for a TV promo and I let my nerves get the better of me. You know when you get all excited and you start talking and talking and you don't stop and listen to the directives that the casting director is giving you. Yikes! Afterwards, I was in the car and I kept thinking of that scene in "American Beauty" when Annette Bening slaps herself in the face and says, "shut up, shut up".

I guess if we don't make mistakes, we don't learn from them. Mistakes teach us to learn and to grow.

Well, onto bigger and better things. I am going to see my friend, Herbie in 'An Afternoon with Pablo Picasso". I remember interviewing him last June when he spoke of this project. And he looks like Picasso too! Good reviews that were received as well.

I believe another crazy week is in store and I am trying to conserve my energy level. It is difficult with cleaning, cooking, shopping, laundry and going to see a play. I have two new acting books to read and am enjoying, "The Power of the Actor" by Ivana Chubbuck.

Reading and writing and laundry and cooking. Yikes, I'm tired already.
