So, I turned down the role I was offered in My Fair Lady. Now, as long as I can get the money together, I can go see my brother in Michigan.
I really learned my lesson with the callback on Monday. Don't drink and stay up all weekend when you have a final callback on a Monday evening. I fucked up the song royally. And after I did so well at the first callback. Oh, well - there's always next year.
I am disappointed that I didn't get Eliza, yes, especially since I haven't done anything in so long and I had so much fun just doing the scenes at the first callback I went to. But who knows what the summer will bring?
I'm hoping Ms. Jae can come over this evening and help me bleach streaks in my hair so that I can transform into punk rock Missy for the summer. I've settled on blue - I have more of it left than the red, and it's such a beautiful shade.
Chris and I leave for our trip on Friday evening. I'm really excited. I've been highlighting the tour books. If anyone has been to Iceland, Amsterdam, or Copenhagen, now is the time to give suggestions on great things to do. Besides the obvious in Amsterdam.
I really should go do something productive. It was hard to drag my ass out of bed this morning - Tess and I didn't get back from The Lion King at the Hippodrome until about 1am, and then I couldn't get to sleep. I went running around 10 this morning, but it was so damn hot I ended up walking half of it. Also went to the natural foods store in town and was reminded why I don't like going there - the guy there comes off as kind of a dick. A woman walked in with her son, who appeared to be quite well-behaved, and the first thing the guy said was "Watch his hands - there are a lot of glass bottles in here!" Chill, dick.
Oh, for those of you who have seen The Lion King on stage - I have seen it twice: Once in London in ummm 2000 or 2001 and last night in Baltimore. Last night, in the middle of "Be Prepared," some half dressed hyenas came out and the music changed to this bumping dance beat. The lights went all crazy and suddenly we were in a gay hyena nightclub. I did not remember that from the first time I saw it. And that's not the kind of thing you would forget. Anyone else seen it?
