...catch up on the week...
Sunday - Daisy's really ill. Spoke to my pet psychic friend. Daisy knew we had spoke to her when we got home - she came up to us when we got home to tell us "she's OK, just a little ill at the moment". She has gallbladder and liver probs along with arthritis. We'll see how much we can treat her with medication without her having any pain.
Monday - class with T. Went very well - he liked section 2 of the scene. He said it was a 'brutal' scene. We agreed! He told us that it's all there, just get a little closer to the writer's words. Perform again next Mon. 8664:4.50
Tuesday - Halloween with our friends in Pasadena. Really quiet neighbourhood - owners on their porches sipping mulled wine doling out sweets to the kids. ahhhh. Walked a little way to Milan Ave and ran into THOUSANDS of people. You couldn't move - it was like Oxford street on Christmas eve. Blimey. The people were literally throwing candy at kids (most of who weren't even saying trick or treat) and there was a ton of teens with scary costumes, you know, their teen slasher film heros, really tasteful - get a life kids, you're missing the point of Halloween. Monkey was a fireman and he had a ball!! 11327:5.88
Wednesday - rehearsal at Y's. Chatted about the script for our short. She wants to work the next four weekends before she drops - not sure we'll make it. Munchkin was given a new bike by one of his mates from the park - he LOVES it. Called G, JG's wife about a singing gig in Westminster. Was on the phone for 40 mins discussing song and scene interpretation, acting and singing. She shares a lot of my opinions. Going to have dins with them in a week to meet, greet and plan. 10515:5.46
Thursday - Class with sub., Hollie. Wow, superb! Really different angle on what we're doing. Watched North Country - fantastic. 8330:4.32
Friday - M cooked up a dinner for a member of the Moms' club - I was meals on wheels! My manager finally called me to let me know that all the things I had messaged her to submit me for during the week had been submitted. I can't tell you how deathly quiet work is - it is desperate. I am not working!!!!
Saturday - Wedding at AD CC - checked out the DK setup with K & M. Very smooth. Possibly working with them starting December. Nice.
Sunday - Arrived at a milestone. A bad one. To do with money and bills, if you catch my drift. My god - this town will kill you if you let it. Working on one option to life us out of it. Should work - legal too!
Putting together a business idea to ensure a surefire income stream to supplement the acting income (or lack of it).
Monday - Class with another sub - Marty. Fantastic fresh insight on our work in class. Great advice and direction. Sent a letter to UK. Did you know that to UPS a letter to the UK costs $39!! Holy mother of god! Is it flying first class with champers and warm nuts? NW are idiots, by the way.
Daisy is rallying, I'm happy to report. Still old but she's spritely and happy. She's on medication and medicated food and it seems to be doing the trick. Hoorah.
Scripted some short comedy pieces. Curious George DVD with munchkin. Cool.

Keep smiling people - even though life is trying to rip your head off!!!
