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. #

  • Well off to the 1 of the final 5 showing of One Flew Over the Cookoo’s Nest. Tonight is PWYK. #

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. #

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 #
