Mumble mumble.

Another brief, bulleted update, from the bollocks to the brilliant:

* I am faced with a very tough decision: To make a little over $3,000 dollars in six weeks or stay right where I am and audition to try and make the same amount only as an actor. (Insert brain fart here)
 What do I do??

* Rachel Yamagata=Amazing.

*I still need to book something. PLEASE GOD LET ME BOOK A FRIGGIN SHOW ALREADY!!!!

*I'll be heading home for a week to watch my puppy and three cats. Good times shall occur. Expect drunk dials. :)

*I'm reading the Princess Bride and absolutely loving it. I saw the movie but I never read the book and it is certainly well worth it. You should read it if you haven't. And you should also suggest books that I should read. Thanks!

*Feeling silly with no time to burn the energy. Gotta get to the gym, I think.

*I like veggies. Mmm mm. But I also like Chipotle. A lot.

*For God's sake I will watch Rachel Getting Married just let me do it on my own terms! Pickle Dust! (That means JESUS! SHUT UP ALREADY!)

That's all for now. 

Peace love and burritos.

Live Long and Prosper

One thing for me that has remained the same: I constantly want to be creating art. I hear weird introduction monologues to short films I want to make. I want to find new plays that I haven't read to pick up a new monologue. I want to paint the street lamp in Central Park or take a photo of how beautiful the light is that streams through the clouds on a rainy day. Lately, in a more overwhelming way than ever, I have found the need to do these things, and to be quite honest, the more lazy I feel as I stand at the tickets position at my job, smiling falsely as I direct patrons to the restrooms. I am so restless. And I'm not doing anything to help myself but complain about how I'm not doing anything. It has to change before I end up in a mental institution. I need to get back on track with doing what I know I need to be doing: 
ART.

A Lucky Dime

In the parking lot of a grocery store, I found a dime facing heads up. 
Now, don't get me wrong, usually I don't tend to be extremely superstitious. Except in circumstances where basic things happen, like throwing salt over your shoulder when it spills or saying "bread and butter" when splitting a pole. But the heads up coins never really phased me. 
Until I found this dime.

My dad said, "It's a dime! It will bring you 10 times more luck!" so I picked it up for the hell of it. 
That day, I went golfing and tied my father. I have never been able to drive the ball as well as I did that morning. My lucky dime seemed to be doing the trick.

I made my bus on time, even though traffic was backed up for miles.

I didn't have one single issue in Flamingo Court once I arrived back in the city.

I don't have the swine flu.

I have a list of 6 auditions for the next 2 weeks.

I get paid to go home and watch my dog.

I have money left over in the bank after paying rent AND my student loan!

I am actually thinking with a more positive outlook than I have in a LONG time. From now on, if I see a coin lying on the hard asphalt facing heads up, I'm grabbing it.
Maybe next time it will be a quarter!
