I Don't Care What Jim Says...

That is NOT the real Benjamin Franklin. I am 99% sure. (listening to: "Walking in Memphis" by Marc Cohen)

A little taste of one of my new obsessions for you all. For all the hype that The Office gets, it's underrated. Trust me. It's so brilliantly and subtly acted and written, sometimes you forget you're watching a sitcom. Go get it. /rant.

So, my little blogites, what shall we talk about today? It's been so long...

I leave for Orlando in a few days. The yearly business trip isn't to Vegas this year, which is somewhat disappointing. However, there's Disney fun to be had, and if Spike's fervor for all things Mickey is any indication, I should be in for some good times. If anyone has any suggestions for things to do while I'm there, I'm all big-black-mouse-ears.

I'm not involved in a show right now. It's so strange to be without work. This is the first time in over a year that I haven't had anything to do besides CSz, and it's unsettling. I haven't been to any auditions, granted. There hasn't been anything out there auditioning right now that interested me. Maybe that's wrong? As an actor, should I be looking for work even if I'm not into it? Just for the sake of working? Somehow that seems wrong to me, but if it means the difference between working and not working... maybe that's the way to go?

Life is very interesting right now. I feel like I'm on the verge of something very big, but it's clouded over and I can't see it. It may be just a result of me feeling like I'm in the doldrums right now even though things are going as well as I could expect them to, but I don't know... Eli's coming.

END TRANSMISSION...

Things to do in Orlando: go to MGM Grand. Ride the Twilight Zone ride (I think is is something about an elevator or Hotel California). Ride the Rockin' Roller coaster. Go to Universal Studios Islands of Adventures (all Universal Studios has is a cool Mummy Ride) and ride all the roller coasters (the Hulk is my favorite that I have ever in my life been on). Try not to wait in too many lines.

About acting: I firmly believe in only doing things that make your heart happy. But, at the same time it is cool to do projects that you wouldn't necessarily be into, but have something that you haven't done before. Or are in a setting that you aren't comfortable with. Or is with people you don't know. It is always a good lesson to learn what you like by learning what you don't like.

I think.

I was in the same situation a few years back. I wasn't really acting much so I went out for something that I wasn't oo sure about. I got the part and three years later we have a theater company because of it.

I say go out and try a few things that you are unsure of. You will come across some crap, but you will always meet cool new peeps :)
