A day in the life

Woke up super early to beat LA traffic and drive to a meeting with a nameless agency. To be honest, I didn't hear the most positive things of said agency from my friends. However, I am one of those people that just has to know for myself, so I went to have the conversation. I am at a point in my career where I'm so frustrated that I think. A bad agency is better than no agency at all. I can always fire them if they are terrible anyway.  I will have a follow up meeting and we will see if that even pans out.

The agent said I was "cute", not drop dead gorgeous, but cute, I can play young and even do some characters like nerd, seductress, ect. But he will probably be sending me out for all the girl next door roles. And that's fine by me!!! If I can make a living at it, I will beat the girl next door horse until it is not only dead, but buried six feet under. I am trying to not be too proud and open my mind to opportunities presented to me.

Also, went to my improv practice group and it was REALLY rough today. I just felt like I got beat up.. We pushed through, but I was confused the whole time. The why. The why. The why. That is where the game lies, not the what.... the what is simply a pattern and is interchangeable. Find the why ASAP and make it overly emphasized. Always error on over-explaining I think is best at this point. Anyway, it was a learning experience. I really tried to follow. Some of my team mates are in a class above me and I think today was the first day it showed. We did more advanced things and I was stumbling to try and catch on. It stretched me though... in a good way. Not as fun as some other groups, but fun none the less.

Then I worked a shift at the restaurant to make that monies. It's easy and flexible, so I am digging it right now. I left the house at 8am and didn't get back until 1030 pm. Changing in my car and grabbing food on the go. Oh, got to catch up with a girlfriend from college on the phone while I was sitting in traffic. All in a day of the life of Me!
