Two more days and I get some laziness in. After I clean my house, which is completely destroyed at this point. I've tracked dirt from both my basement and that warehouse all over the first floor. Piles of unfolded laundry have taken over my living room. Dishes rule my sink, and mail and assorted crap from my car have set up camp on my kitchen table. I do get a bunch of time tomorrow, it's almost like a day off, just a dentist appointment (hate the dentist) and Crucible callbacks tomorrow night. Maybe I should prepare for it but frankly I like winging it as much as I can in auditions.
The last of the weekend shoot went faster than any shoot I've done so far. There were only two shots to get, skeleton crew, so things went incredibly smooth. So smooth, in fact, that I had about six hours off before my next audition. See, Boston's an hour and a half away, so six hours off means I don't go home. Had I known I was going to have that much time off, I might have prepared an exciting day discovering things in Boston I have yet to see, or haven't seen in a while. However, I had no pre-plan for such events, and really didn't have the energy to traipse around town. So I went to breakfast with a few guys from the crew, then went to see Apocalypto. It was...interesting. It certainly wasn't bad. I enjoyed it, but I don't think I'll be hunting out the DVD.
Hit my audition and it went really well. Apparently my Boston accent is convincing. It looked to me like I was hitting points that jived with the director's vision, which is what we all hope for. Who knows, you can never really tell what they're thinking, right? At least I know I smoked that audition.
Cross your fingers for The Crucible.
I missed seeing The Pick of Destiny in the theaters. I nearly wept. I already have the soundtrack and wanted to see it SO BAD. Curse the gods of movie theaters that are still showing Turistas and turning their backs on the greatest rock gods of all time.
Oh, and personally I have nothin against the use of 'y'all.' I've spent some time in the South, and personally love it. It's beautiful, the food kicks ass, and the farther down you go the friendlier people get, until you hit Florida and the displaced New Englanders. I actually use it in conversation once in a while, just to spice things up. But it really didn't seem to fit here. I'm more of a 'dude' guy.
Later, dudes.

I can relate, on most of these points. Of course, I haven't done a theatrical audition in months. My house is a mess, though!
The important thing with "y'all" is to determine whether you're using it as singular or plural. As a life-long PNWer, I don't have a lot of southern cred, but I believe it should be used as a singular pronoun to be proper.
I'm loving the blog. I check it daily now and you are on my blog roll.
Good luck with everything. I have my fingers crossed for all of it!
