I had originally planned on updating this weekly, but soon realized that sometimes, I just don’t have anything interesting going on.  Like, this past week was all applications, applications, applications, etc etc ad nauseum.

But today some really cool things happened.  First, I got a reply from these people, essentially casting me.  I’m not sure what the series is going to be about, or what I’m going to do, but if it’s TLC and it’s a crime series, I wager I’ll be selling kids drugs or something.  Excellent!  It’s on TLC for Chrissakes!  I could be on TLC.

I could be on national television.  That kicks ass.

And while I was perusing Craigslist I found an ad for a consortium of dancer/actor folks who were holding workshops for some future performance.  It’s all modern dance kinda stuff, and they were looking for “beginning dancers and actors who move” and I said, well, despite the fact that I sit at the computer all day lately, I am an actor who can move!  So I e-mailed them and expressed interest.  That’s Sunday afternoon.

So my schedule so far is:

Tomorrow — Go to Buffy rehearsal.  Have fun, something I’ve desperately needed all week.
Later, go see a play at Reed College with my friend Maarvi, who may or may not give me rice.  I hope she does.  I love rice.

Sunday — Go to the dancer workshop, get in the “zone,” dance and move around like a jackass, hopefully they’ll like me and invite me to more workshops, because eventually they pay, and I like pay.

Thanksgiving — probably eating peanut butter sandwiches with my brother and sister-in-law.  We’s poor!

The Future — Dec 1st, 2nd, 3rd are the days to shoot the TLC thing.  Again, what.  Crazy.  It’s crazy.

OH!  I almost forgot.  I’ll be playing in a Battle of the Bands contest on December 15th!  December 15th!  I don’t know when I go on (I get 45 minutes for my set) but the whole thing starts at 10pm.  If you are in the Portland area, for the love of god and all things holy, PLEASE COME AND SUPPORT ME.  I would be lying if I said I wasn’t scared out of my mind.  New city, nobody knows me, and I’m playing alone?!  Yipes!  Should be a blast, and I’m just hoping to get some new fans.

So that’s December 15th.  December 18th is the Buffy show, and January is rehearsals for Perfection, and February is the show itself.

The good news? I’m busy.  The bad news?  I’m not getting paid yet!  Argh!
