Do you think GPS Nav devises get confused in Round-abouts. “Recalculating…. recal… re… OH why did you even turn me on!” #
Don’t think last nights audition went so well. Read well for the part of the Linus Sr. but not for the roles I wanted. #
Was released with being told when cast would be notified. So I don’t think I will be offered a role. Want BOOLIE in Daisy more, but still. #
umm.. without being told #
@wcdarling I like di.fm trance channel for the same reasons. in reply to wcdarling #

Never and I mean NEVER talk to me on the phone while you are using the Restroom. I will never talk to you again! #
Last nights audition for Driving Miss Daisy: http://tinyurl.com/9z29aw #
I want one of these: A battery operated TV camera is mounted on a collar, for all my cats. http://www.mr-lee-catcam.de/index.htm #
No hear ’bout voice over, so off to audition for Sabrina Fair. #
Actually just received a call about, actually a dub over of the scenes we shot for The Interview, they don’t need me. #
But on a further note, they want to add a scene for after the credit role with me and one other character. Should be fun. #
OK. NOW I am off for dinner and audition in that order. #

By busy schedule this week: http://tinyurl.com/8cxran #
Off to buy some fruit. #
Enjoying fresh strawberries and a cup of Peach White tea. #
OK, no voice over for “The Interview” which means “Bright Flames” rehearsal tonight. Maybe, and that’s a maybe, for voice over tomorrow night #
Which means possible missing a Gwinnett Gladiator’s hockey game Thursday so I can audition for Driving Miss Daisy if I can’t tomorrow night. #
Those last two tweets were both exactly 140 characters. #
Crap. I may miss an audition because of all this re-arranging. S’pose I should at least email and express interest in auditioning. #
Know the director of Driving Miss Daisy, but not sure who is directing Sabrina Fair. It’s at Kudzu and they like me, so I have an in at both #
Not that having an “in” means getting a role. Just that they know my work. #
On my second cup of Mandarin Orange Green tea. #
Well, I am off to Bright Flames rehearsal. #

First full week of 2009

Today, I mailed off the application with headshot and resume for the Unifieds. Deadline is January 16th. Hopefully I will be accepted again this year. Last years attendance got me auditions at The Alliance, Theatre in the Square, Marcus Jewish Community Center Theatre and with Tyler Perry Studios. This year, I plan to work with Pat Hurley on a couple of monologues in preparation for the Unifieds.

Tonight will be one of two things: Ether voice over for on the short film I did in August (The Interview). And/Or rehearsal for Bright Flames TV. Let’s talk about The Interview. My understanding is that this is nearly complete in post-production. Matt McGahren is hopping to submit this for the Atlanta Film Festival. Deadline is this Friday. I assume the voice over is for my part. I guess the sound is not what they wanted when originally shot. If not tonight, then tomorrow evening.

On the Bright Flames TV front, apparently Robert Howell has found a crew with equipment so we are not dependent on the local community TV studio. The local community studio never could get their act together, so this will be good. Robert wants me (and I assume the rest of the cast) to do a voice over for a trailer. And the new shooting location is at Callanwolde Fine Arts Center. Looks like a very nice place. If The Interview voice over is tonight and early enough, I can make tonight’s Bright Flames rehearsal.

Tomorrow AM is a stress test with the cardiologist to see if I can exercise without killing myself. I have been on medication for high blood pressure now for 6 days. Not fun. I have to drink plenty of fluids so my pressure does not drop too low. It did Saturday night, not enough intake during the day. So light-headednes kept me from going to the Gladiators game that night. Last night I did not sleep very well. Due to fluid intake/output, I believe I am short on Potassium. My back of my legs really ached. Very painful.

Tomorrow PM. Depending on if I do not have to do The Interview voice over tomorrow night, I plan on auditioning for BOOLIE WERTHAN in Driving Miss Daisy at Act1 Theater. BOOLIE is the son of DAISY WERTHAN. But if the voice over is tomorrow night, then I will audition on Thursday night, missing another Gladiators game.

Wednesday PM is an audition for Sabrina Fair at Kudzu Playhouse. I think I would make a good DAVID LARRABEE. DAVID is the younger brother of LINUS LARRABEE JR.

Thursday PM will hopefully be a Gladiators’ game, but that depends on … well, see above.

Friday PM is supposed to be another Bright Flames rehearsal.

So everynight this week is something.

Linus Larrabee-; the father, whose one passion is attending funerals
Margaret-the Larrabee maid/Mother figure to Sabrina
David Larrabee-the younger Larrabee son.
Gretchen-David’s ex-wife
Sabrina Fairchild-, the daughter of their family chauffeur. She is bright, well-educated, and has just returned from five years in Paris, where she has done a brilliant job as an executive in a U.S. government overseas office. She has come home to find out if she is still in love with the younger Larrabee son, David.
Fairchild- the chauffeur who has been dabbling in the stock market and likes his job because it gives him time to read

Just got a call from my audition for Out Town at Lionheart Theatre. Did not get the role I wanted, but the director called anyway. very nice #
OUR TOWN, not Out Town. Out Town is that _other_ play. #
Planning ahead, I want to audition for Sabrina Fair at Kudzu (Jan 6,7) and Driving Miss Daisy at Act1 (Jan6,8). Wit at Onstage Atlanta (???) #
I think I can get back into Pat Hurley’s Advanced Scene at the Alliance in January as well. Will be working monologues with him in any case. #
But if I win the lottery, travel will be first order of business. Somewhere with a hammock and an ocean breeze. #
Yes, Alaska does have an ocean breeze, but I am thinking somewhere more tropical. #
DO’H! Arena Football League suspends the 2009 season. Double DO’H. At least we get our money back for season tickets. #AFL http://is.gd/c0TR. #
So ready to leave work. 23 more minutes to go, then off to a @gwtgladiators game tonight. #
