Tuesday

Lying around with an achy stomach and enjoying the breeze coming through the window until it gets too hot to stay in the house.  It's 83 degrees out now.  Thankfully, the headache has subsided; woke up with probable food poisoning, called in sick.  Listening to the radio and trying to memorize this monologue and do something with it.  My audition is pretty late, so I'm hoping I will be well enough to go, it's a 20-40 minute bus ride depending on time of day  For some reason, I can't seem to remember my monologue, they sent out other options, so that's what I'm working on.  I re-read the play on the bus last night, and have it partially memorized.  It's one of my favorite scripts from the past few years, and it's in my age range.  I don't know if I have the performance experience to get cast in this part, but it's good practice to audition, and I get another monologue out of it.  I've been thinking about needing to audition and making up excuses (mostly regarding head shots and needing to update my TPS profile) and this came up and I was able to sign up, so I did.  The general advice out there seems to be to do 5-6 auditions a week.  I'll start with this one and learn from it.

Hopefully, I'll be done being sick by then.  That would be memorable.

Sick

Feeling like I mostly just want to stay in a fetal position today.  Woke up really sick. Thought maybe I was dehydrated, but now I don't know. My head is killing me and I can't even keep water down.  Slowly working through black tea and honey.  Feel awful. Have to leave for class at 5 ish. That's 5 hours away. Maybe I can split an anti-inflammatory in half, I only have the 800 milligram ones, which is too much. (They were for my hand inflammation.) At least it's not hot out and I'm not travelling, that would be worse.

Crawled out of bed at 4:30, chewed half of a motrin, ate a bit of cereal and caught a bus to class. I didn't even do a scene today since my scene partner is out of town. Got home at 11pm. I wish I had that much dedication to my other class, but I don't. Walking south toward the bus stop I could see the moon between the buildings ahead of me, 2nd ave, fairly west.  When I got off of the bus, much further north and east, the moon was to the east of me.  Threw me off, I'll have to look at a map, and see how the streets curve. Odd.
