Julie's Completely Random Stream-of-Consciousness Blog

You know when you get a new toy and you don't know how to do anything with it and you're a little afraid to push all the buttons, but one day you get fed up and you push the button and all your problems are solved?
I just figured out how to turn off the touchpad on my laptop and I'm SO THRILLED. I've been having issues accidentally deleting what I'd written, navigating away from long emails and losing everything I'd done so far, etc. Not fun. NO MORE!
So anyway, today was fun, just a whole odd mix of things. I had an audition for the new show Easy Money in the morning, then spent the ENTIRE afternoon at the mechanic's fixing things on my car. So Friday I find out that my taillight's burnt out, Saturday my check engine light comes on, and since my car hasn't had AC all summer and is due for an inspection next month (which it can't pass with the engine light on), I figured I should take it in. So I did. And they fixed everything, charged me a not-insignificant amount of money, fed me homemade Armenian food, introduced me to some of the canaries (there's 15 in there right now) and generally showed me a pretty darn good time for a day at the mechanic's.  The evening was spent doing support stuff for tutoring (when they say a lesson report takes 15 minutes, they're USUALLY being optimistic), cooking, and goofing off online.
More about the audition - the role was for a spoiled, self-entitled rich girl who's kind of snotty, so that was fun. Required a lot of makeup and hair and some fake nails (partly suggested by the script, partly for my own process) and some prep (yes, I still wasn't word-perfect in the audition darn it - nerves!) but it went well - I had fun, I have no idea if it was too big or too fast or whatever, but I did it and we'll just see. I need more of those auditions! I was really excited to get into this office - I'd recently met the assistant in a workshop and I have no idea whether that played any factor in getting me the audition, but I think my manager worked hard to get me in there too so hey, it all came together! Really pleasant office too - it's in a small house and it really made me realize how much I'd like to have my own little craftsman someday soon - just such a neat feel to the space. And SUPER-nice CD!
Oh! Other things going on lately - my music improv class/group Improperetta is getting REALLY good! Sure we've got a lot to learn still, but people have given us some serious compliments lately, and they've probably been deserved. People have enjoyed it more than seriously mega-professional theater productions in town as well as saying they'd happily pay a decent chunk of money to see us - which is nice to hear when you're FREE. Check out our MySpace page at www.myspace.com/improperetta for show dates!

My pirate name is:
Red Jenny Bonney 
Passion is a big part of your life, which makes sense for a pirate. You can be a little bit unpredictable, but a pirate's life is far from full of certainties, so that fits in pretty well. Arr! Get your own pirate name from piratequiz.com.part of the fidius.org network

So I'm sick. And I don't like it. I woke up sick yesterday and I'm still sick today. I've not heard anything about the commercial I'm on avail for - it shoots this coming weekend so I would've GUESSED I would've heard by now if I'd gotten it, I'll see if I can find out anything else tomorrow. Who knows.
Not a lot to report really. I spent all day today lying around in bed so that doesn't make much news. My new headshots should be ready for me to pick up at ISGO so that'll be fun - mailings and dropoffs galore! Yay!

Okay, so blogging obviously hasn't been on my radar lately.
What has? I've been tutoring (which is going great with a couple exceptions), doing classes at Second City (of course), and doing a few auditions here and there, hooray! It's been a slow summer so it's been nice to have a couple commercial auditions pop up in the last couple weeks. Especially since I have a callback for one today. YAY!
Also, I just found out that a film I'm in, Broken Windows, is going to be premiering at the San Diego Film Festival on September 26th! Hooray!
So my heart's not in the blogging thing, I've got too many distractions and obligations and a cat trying to lie on my hands so I'm going to keep this short. I'll try and get back into the swing of things soon.

Well, GOSH! I'm just tired. I know it's been forever since I've blogged, sorry. I've been running around from one event to another, tutoring, and coughing up a lung - ended up with a touch of bronchitis or similar so I've been taking antibiotics, sleeping, and using an inhaler. Not in that order - the inhaler gets me a little wired, which is why I'm blogging at 2am. I need some rest though so this isn't going to be long.
Music improv - good. Friends - good. BBQ for friend going away on a boat for 5 months - good and sad. Premieres - VERY good. Bronchitis - bad. Auditions - slow, but I have one coming up, so yay! Tutoring - good but hard and a bit stressful. Other film/TV projects in the works - good.
That's it, that's all I've got. I'm going to bed. Hopefully there will be more exciting news next time.

So I'm feeling a wee bit better now, thank you very much. I didn't get as much sleep as I'd have liked last night so I spent a lot of the day exhausted. So I spent a lot of it dozing in bed. But I had the FABULOUS opportunity to help shoot some very funny webisodes this evening, and that was so much fun that I feel a million times better now. I have to wonder sometimes how much of my mood is dependent upon keeping busy, especially with things that I find fulfilling. I suspect it's huge for me. Okay, I KNOW it's huge for me, but I still forget sometimes.
I need to have people over so I force myself to clean my apartment. It's gotten pretty darned messy.
Tomorrow's fun: I get my teeth cleaned and may go see an improv show in the evening. Should leave me some time to work on my tutoring training stuff - gotta be solid by Friday. Eep.

Mom, this is your warning - you will NOT like this post. It's my blog, my personal expression, and I'm not entertaining arguments about language. You won't like the subject matter at all either. Love you, want you to be forewarned if you choose to read it.
FUCK YOU to all you goddamned asshole pet owners out there. You people who let your dogs run free to get hit by a car (wanna know how long she cried? It was LONG. Like 10 seconds of a horrible squeal and screaming in pain - I think maybe she got dragged?) in the middle of the night outside MY apartment. So I (and my fabulous neighbor Chad) ran outside, found her, and took turns running back inside to get stuff. Like a leash to catch her (because she's skittish and wouldn't come near me the past several nights I've seen her outside while walking Teddy) and a cell phone (to call animal control). Even though she's skittish, it was pretty easy to catch her, that broken leg or hip and all. So she cowered in the gutter while strange people talked to her and pet her and wrapped a leash around her neck and waited for animal control to come. Sweet dog, considering how frightened she must have been. If it's just a simple clean break she'll get the vet care she needs and wait for someone to claim her. If you don't figure out she's missing, maybe she'll be adopted, since the shelter just got their numbers back down to manageable levels last week. Of course, if it's a bad break or her back or something, she'll be put to sleep.
Oh, we'd have called you first if you'd had a collar on her. Or a microchip. Or something useful.
Go ahead, put up the "LOST DOG" posters. I'm dying to fill you in.
Asshole.

| I don't suppose anyone knows why I'm suddenly receiving Outdoor Life magazine in the mail??? I mean, it's nice to know that the mule deer uses its vision more than the whitetail, but....?????
