What I Did: Week Ending 2009-03-22

  • OK. Yes I am alive this week. Forgot to wear green today and have been pinched for it, damn it. Maybe carrying green tea all day will do. #
  • Starting again in the Advanced Scene Study with Pat Hurley at the Alliance tomorrow night. #
  • I enjoyed my Advanced Scene Study class last night. Really missed being in there. Mostly new people. 2 of the 8 have seen me in plays. weird #
  • That last tweet was my 666th update. #
  • @carenwest Thank you. in reply to carenwest #
  • I will have spent $500 in 10 hours of private sessions with Pat Hurley working on monologues for the Atlanta Unifieds. I will rock this year #
  • No, not because I spent the money, but because of the training. Smatter’chu. #
  • Speaking of the Atlanta Unifieds, I have not received confirmation they have received my headshots. They are due tomorrow. Better check that #
  • @joeventures Yea! Thanks. in reply to joeventures #
  • Twitter has its uses. @joeventures unexpectedly confirmed that my headshots were received. I noticed from his tweets he works for ACPA. #
  • Having leftover Ippolitos’ Angel Hair with Alfredo. It needs some garlic.. lots of garlic. Maybe some roasted garlic on some bread. #
  • #rets I sometimes use Twitter as a research capture tool. Tidbits of info that is then captured on my blog. #
  • Three-O Vodka ads are the most annoying ads. I always have to reduce the size of my browser just to cover them up. Will NOT buy the vodka. #
  • Really like Grey Goose Vodka at the moment. Very smooth. #
  • Speaking of which, I am out of Grey Goose. #

  • One Flew Over the Cookoo’s Nest has ended. Lot’s of people telling me how good I am acting as a mentally ill patient. My reply-Who’s acting? #
  • Whoops. Forgot to mention it’s on March 21st. –> Audition slot for the Alliance Theatre Acting Program’s Summer Rep is at 7PM-EST. #

  • @vickybz Yeah. Me too. in reply to vickybz #
  • Refilled lots of tea canisters over the weekend. Almondina Biscotti black tea this morning. #

  • All you websites that resize my browser… I hate you! I will never return. #

  • OK. Back in the office and probably have an hour to wait before I have anything to test. Tea is steeping. #

  • @Kerriana My favorite, when I am not having tea. I add peppermint on cold days. in reply to Kerriana #
  • Nearly 75% of the acting work I have received has been through people I know. Thank You!! #

  • Does bragging about your good karma deeds give you bad karma? What does the number 7 smell like? What do you get when you multiply 6 x 9? 42 #
  • @bigelowtea instead of in reply to bigelowtea #
  • Did you know that the official state fish of Hawaii is called the Humuhumukununukuapua? It means “fish with a pig’s nose”. #facebook thing. #

What I Did: Week Ending 2009-03-01

  • So um, yeah. I need a vacation. Maybe to another planet. I wish my people would come rescue me from this Mostly Harmless place. #soum #
  • Will work for Tea. I am nearly out. #
  • Tues, on my blog, I commented about the Atlanta Unifieds. The official totals: Slots available: 236 with 24 Alternates. 342 people applied. #
  • RT @EddieIzzard: Take a leap. == A friend jumps off a cliff and you are smart enough not to, but because Eddie said it you are … hey wait. #
  • Off to meet the parents for lunch. Almost said “Parental Units”. It’s that some late 80’s terminology. #
  • My Tweak-UI’s Focus follow Mouse is acting up today. I did not realize how much I liked that feature until it misbehaves. #
  • Finished off my second tin of tea today. I need to make a trip to @Teavana and soon. #
  • Although they do allow anybody and their brother write reviews and therefore not to be entirely trusted, there are a few http://is.gd/l0lb #
  • As far as I know, the reviews could have been done by cast. More reason not to believe everything you read. If I comment, I use my real name #
  • OK. So I was a little hard on Theater Review yesterday. People sometimes review the shows out of spite. Lots are “new” people. #
  • RT @atlantasymphony: Welcome to Twitter @alliancetheatre ! <– hazaahh #
  • Supposed to shoot Bright Flames tomorrow AM and the costume people have lost the measurements and therefore no costumes. Project from Hell!! #
  • We are supposed to shoot tomorrow anyway, just to get something in the can. #
  • RT @DocGyver: well your looking at, um reading about ATL’s latest MySQL Certified DBA CMDBA <– Congratulations !! #
  • well off to find dinner then off to the play. Supposed to have a good audience tonight. #

5 Down 10 To Go

First weekend of One Flew Over the Cookoo’s Nest has passed. We had very small audiences to midsized audiences, talkers and laughers (those who do that in excess). We did have lots of great audience feed back as well as people leaving. One person who left who left said they had an autistic son and our play hit too close to home. There were a lot of good comments from audience members. Two more weekends to go.

Outside of the play, I did get accepted to the 2009 Atlanta Unifieds. All hearsay is that there are 250 slots for the 2 days and over 350 people applied. Two people I know did not get accepted and 4 of Pat Hurley’s students at the Alliance did not get accepted. I really wonder what the acceptance criteria was and what the real number of people who applied was.

What I Did: Week Ending 2009-02-22

  • Tired today. Tech rehearsal for “One Flew Over The Cookoo’s Nest” went to 12:15AM-EST. #
  • A friend of mine, Takara Upshaw, got a call back for “A Sunday Afternoon at Loemann’s”. Congrats. So I suppose I can say I am not cast. sigh #
  • Hoping to hear if I got a slot at the Atlanta Unifieds this year. Rumor has it that nearly 500 people applied for 250 slots. I need an agent #
  • Bill Bryson is the best writer. But what I really love is Bill Bryson reading his audiobooks. The Best. #
  • It #
  • What is it? #
  • Well its official. I got a thanks for auditioning, but no thanks email. Takara Upshaw did not get cast ether although she did get a callback #
  • You know, I want to buy applications for my future iPhone without having to go though the app store. #
  • I really miss my Handsping Visor with phone attachment. Best phone I ever had. Sad that that was the late 90’s. #
  • As soon as I walk in the door at work this morning, I get pulled into an argument about how long it takes to drive from Atlanta to Orlando. #
  • “You got to take the 475 around Macon.” “It takes me 6 hours. How in the world does it take you 8 hours.” <sigh> #
  • On to other topics: I was giving a slot at this years Atlanta Unifieds. Number 160. The bad thing is I have my 2 minutes just before lunch. #
  • @the_brian_jones And I was thinking maybe a Blackberry Storm over an iPhone. Calender and Contacts are a must. in reply to the_brian_jones #
  • @the_brian_jones Have you tried Missing Sync? in reply to the_brian_jones #
  • @the_brian_jones Show went OK. Not quite a dozen people. in reply to the_brian_jones #
