Rehearsal for DSG 6/17

So tonight I had rehearsal for Dog Sees God. There were only four cast members there including myself. I didn't have to be at rehearsal last night, which was nice. We ran through Fire is Bad twice. It's really difficult in terms of blocking. Our venue: Red Rum at Fort Fringe is a bit crazy. It's got a thrust stage now, which means there are people on three sides of us. We had to do some tweaking to how Patrick and I were sitting. I also had to figure out new bits of blocking so that I was playing the scene to everyone that would be sitting in the audience. I don't want it to be that the audience that is sitting on the right is just staring at the back of my head the whole time. By the time we did the scene a second time it was a heck of a lot better. I got to go home a little earlier than usual. Now I don't have to be back until Wednesday. I now need to focus on memorizing a new monologue for my Synetic audition on the 27th.

Blisters, Sneakers, and Bugs...Oh My!

I got horrible blisters from my Converse shoes yesterday. I don't get people who adore them...yes I broke them in. But they literally ripped my feet apart. So I go to the Pentagon City Mall where I:

A. Went to all the big shoe stores looking for sneakers.
B. Tried on several pairs of brightly colored Nikes
C. Was torn between a pair of black & white Nike Air Dunks and some black, white, and hot pink ones
D. I went with the ones with hot pink.

I also bought a pair of socks and put those brightly colored sneaks on and left Nordstrom's a happy customer! I'm heading home on a very busy blue line to Franconia when about halfway home this wacko of a lady picks up a bug on the floor. She puts this little brown bug...which looks like a tick actually, on a white business card. She was on the phone through this whole entire ordeal. She moved the business card about so the bug stayed on it. Then, she got up at Braddock Road, let the bug fly off, and she got back on until King St. One Word: Weirdo.

So I pretty much begin the process now of breaking in the shoes, while having blisters on both feet. Ouch! My shoes are pimpin' and I'm self promoting Dog Sees God with my baseball tee.

Highlarity!

So I saw this video today and I felt the need to share it. It made me laugh uncontrollably until I cried and then snorted. Nothing that exciting has been going on in my life...except for the fact that I have a blind date tonight...we'll see how it goes.
