Okay, so blogging strikes me as seriously narcissistic today, but that's just fine by me.  'Cause really, I find my life terribly important.

So here's what's going on.  I had an audition today - a pretty nice little role on a new pilot.  Major people behind the show, major CD, major network, etc.  THANK YOU Mr. Manager for getting me a cool audition, hooray!  So I get the sides and yup, I'm crying in an audition again.  So I decide maybe I should get some audition coaching on this since I'm not feeling super-confident, could use another set of eyes, etc.  So yesterday I go see Jim Gleason, who is WONDERFUL and super-helpful and I leave feeling like I know what I'm supposed to do and with the sense that it's not entirely impossible.  YAY!  But it's actually a lot of work and very tiring too.  I pop out to do a little tutoring mid-afternoon, then go out to hang out with some of the COOLEST PEOPLE ON EARTH - friends from IFA at Second City.

Now, these are like the first people I met in LA and they're just as wonderful as I thought.  We sit around and eat pizza and gossip and talk about relationships and acting and improv and have a great time - really a nice way to unwind and not think about the next day's audition. 

Today was the audition, and though I rushed my prep at the top of the scene I got some GREAT feedback from the CD and I'm happy with what I did.  And I ran into a friend at the audition and we're planning a big fun lunch with fun cool women soon.  And then I had an awesome coffee break with another friend, then went to another friend's staged reading (with Marla Gibbs, woo!) in which ANOTHER couple friends were performing, so that was awesome too.

This is not a bad life.
