People, I am so anxious to hear the decisions of that audition
I spoke of in the last blog entry: http://www.shesofunny.org/2019/04/panic-hope-waiting.html
and I have not been able to put it out of my
mind. I don’t remember feeling like this
before over a role. Anyway, I found out
that they made their decisions this past week and will be making contact with
those they decided to cast this weekend.
I feel so hopeful. It’s the
timing that would be sooooo good. I’m
concerned at how disappointed I will feel if I didn’t get cast. I usually take these things in stride because
I can only control my behavior and performance.
I have no control over who else they saw that may have been more right
for the part or anything else. I just
hope I don’t take it too hard if I’m not cast.
I want this!
That pain in my foot I mentioned last blog is gone. I’m glad about that.
The man who planned to set fire to St. Patrick’s Cathedral and
then travel
off to Italy was an on-line adjunct at Lehman College. Thank goodness, he was only there for one
semester. Lehman is in my neighborhood
and is where I got my BA many years ago.
I’ve also worked there and performed there. It’s very sobering to think such a person was
teaching young college students (giving grades and stuff) and was so near. I’m more used to the more obvious kind of
criminals. I live in a loud
neighborhood. People talk to their
friends about their arrests, parole, and such, and it’s not in a whisper. The recent thing seems to be stealing
electric bikes from delivery men (who barely make a living). So far, that’s mainly happening a train stop
away from me. I don’t know which is scarier.
The weird thing about the attempted arsonist is he got in
trouble with the police in NJ recently for refusing to leave a church and he
even fought with two officers. Yet he
was freely going about his business. I
don’t think that would have been the case if he were brown. I could be wrong, but fighting with officers
is usually a very bad path no matter what shade of skin one has. So I have to
say I am very glad the NYPD got him in time.
I was honored to spend my best friend’s birthday with
him. We mainly
spent it walking on
trails in the part of Van Cortland Park that's in Yonkers.
We always have much to share. So
there was hours of talking. I loved the
day. I had made him a very personalized
multi-page card which captured part of his life journey and caused us much
laughter. We needed it.
Oh people, I hope I have great news when I share again. I need it.
Happy 4/20 everyone.
Love to CGG-M
We all share in your anticipation and hope. What ever the outcome, know that you passed our audition! Love and good luck.
