I am a bead of sweat, sitting on my forehead...
Mercury Rising
Another night sitting at my computer in my 69 degree home in Los Angeles. Another helicopter is hovering about so close that I can practically feel the vibrations from rotors turning it's blades. It was pretty danged hot today, and thus, my window is open so that some of the cool night breeze can meander its way into my quarters. The dog next door is barking, as usual. It's sooooooooo annoying, sometimes I wanna grab my TV table and throw it at him, so he'll shut up, but I hold back. I swear, one of these days a freakin burlgar is gonna be crawling around somewhere nearby and the dog will be barking trying to warn me, and I'll never be the wiser, cuz I hate that lil fucker.
Fooled ya
I find it interesting when people misinterpret you...well misinterpret's the wrong word, not exactly the word I want...but it'll have to do for now. Anyway, I was at Samuel French today, helping V look for a serio-comic monologue for his audition coming up this saturday. So there I am, sitting in a chair, looking through some monologue book when this big dude sits next to me, apparently doing the same thing(He has a bunch of monologue books in his hand) and asks me if I'm looking for a monologue too. So I decide, eh, I'm too lazy to explain that I'm only helping my friend out, so I just say yes. And he asks, and I tell him I'm looking for a comedic one, and he says he is too. So he shows me one, apparently it's pretty damn funny cuz he's laughing all loud, and he tells me to read it. Ironically, it's about a guy getting bald and trying out all the bald treatments out there and stuff...and it was in fact funny...just even funnier that I was reading it, I felt like I totally could've been that guy! ha ha ha. Anyway, so he finds his monologue and leaves and so me and V were just jokin around afterward about how it was funny that he probably thought I was an aspiring actor too...man misleading people is pretty fun. I wonder how far I could BS people into thinking I was actually well versed in certain fields...
Blast from the past
I swear, this week, and part of last week, has been all about seeing people I used to hang out with, talked to back in college, and even dated. It's like I was opening old pages from the book of my life and just seeing people again, whom in all honesty, I didn't really see myself running into in the future. Anyway, upon retrospect(Ahh, the value of hindsight), it was really great to see these people again. Some, I probably just saw this one time and probably will not see again for quite some time, others, I believe I could possibly start seeing a lot more of again, but in either case, it was great having the chance to catch up and see how much our lives have changed, or in my case, NOT changed, in the past few years. It's funny, sometimes I think that when I see people I haven't seen for a while, that we'd be completely different people, that there has been so much distance that we'd find it hard to find something to talk about. I found out it was the exact opposite, we had SO MUCH to talk about, and even moreso BECAUSE of the time lapse. And it's cool to know that they really are inquiring about you because they remember things still, like your family, old roomies, etc. Nothing like a moment of reminiscing to make you feel like you're living back in the day, even if for only a brief moment in time...
Summa Summa Summatime...
Two words to describe the weather earlier...AFRICA HOT!!! Man oh man it was hot today...which means spring is drawing to a close and summer is ready to start. Which means, beach time!!! I can't wait. I can't wait for the days when all I'll be blogging about is africa hot weather and people longing to go to the beach but don't go, and planning summer trips to Vegas, Hawaii, camping...etc. Finding that old copy of Wil Smith's Summertime just so you can play it in your car while driving around. Wanting popsicles, or ice-cold lemonade. Waterfights. Man, what an exciting season summer is. It's funny cuz even though I work now...well, now right NOW, but like last year, I was working full-time, but we still had summer vacations and stuff. I think it has been so ingrained into my head from the 17 years of school I went through that no summer is complete w/o some kind of trip.
Thank goodness for...
