Procrastination

Look at the visitor my parents got! He was hanging out in the garage.

I've named him Gizzard. So this is Gizzard, the lizard.

So I've been a bad blogger as of late. I haven't been writing in this as often as I probably should. But on the other hand, not too much has been happening that's really worthy of a post.

I got a job! Woot! I'll be working at Bubba Gump Shrimp Company at Universal Studios City Walk. Tourist spot = lots o' cash! Yay! So the financial front will soon be covered! (Thank God, finally!)

Other than that, been back to hitting the gym (4 months away from the gym = bad idea. I used to be able to lift 45 - 50 lbs. Now I can only lift 25 lbs. So sad!), memorizing Bubba Gump material, quasi-working on this play (that doesn't look like it'll be going anywhere. Timing was off, I guess...*shrugs*), running errands... Yeah... soooo exciting. But nonetheless, happy!

Busy and Exhausted

I'm absolutely not complaining, but I am tired. I'm currently working on a play titled, Letters to a Student Revolutionary as the understudy to one of the lead characters and one of the chorus members. The play is a reaction to the Tiananmen Square Massacre back in 1989. We've only got one more week before I have to be completely off book for two characters and know all of the blocking. I've only been working on this script for maybe a week and a half and I have to learn 25 pages of script with a Chinese accent. So I'm slightly overwhelmed with this. At least I will be getting paid. Granted, it's not much, but it's better than nothing.

On top of that I've been cast in 3 films. One of them happens tomorrow morning, after which I have to go to a 5 hour rehearsal. 

Aside from acting work that doesn't pay, I've been volunteering my time as a teacher's aide. I'm trying to learn as much as I can about teaching acting to middle/high school kids. This is so I can be prepared by the fall if I choose to take that acting teacher job that was offered to me by the non-profit I was working for.  In the meantime, I am still looking for employment that pays.

So I am alive ... maybe a little cranky, but alive.
