What I Did On 2009-01-06

  • OK. My misunderstanding. It was a consultation for a heart stress test. I may not have issues because I was on steroids at the time. #
  • Still doing a stress and echo next Wednesday. Cardiologist told me to reduce medication if not off all together. I will reduce and monitor. #
  • Looking at the kittens and cats available for adoption at Furkids.org. I wish I could help them all. #
  • @ActorNation Sorry to hear of any cats being abandoned. I am a cat person through-and-through. Have 5, I do. in reply to ActorNation #
  • Still have not heard if I need to do a voice over tonight or if I am free to go to an audition. Audition tonight means @gwtgladiators thurs. #
  • RT @gwtgladiators: Glads zap the Stingrays 2-1!! Next home game Thursday night vs. South Carolina at 7:05!! #
  • Pat Hurley @ the Alliance Theatre called over the weekend to see if I was ready to return to the Advanced Scene Study class. Need to decide #
  • I do want to return, but I need to see how auditions go this week. Will do private lessons in any case to prepare for the Atlanta Unifieds. #
  • If I get a role in Driving Miss Daisy as Daisy, I mean Hoke, umm Boolie, there is no rehearsals on Wednesday (class night) except tech week. #
  • RT @crazeegeekchick: RT @guykawasaki: Cat Hair Handbags http://ow.ly/2kN ok, that’s creepy – even for me. Hug, pet him, and call him George #

What I Did On 2009-01-05

  • 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. <sigh>

What I Did On 2008-12-16

  • 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. #
