A minor setback...
Well hellfire and balls! I am so pissed right now it isn't even funny. No no, not the standard "Aren't you Irish so pissed means drunk right?" kinda of pissed. No I mean the mad enough to chew iron and spit nails out kinda pissed.
And why you might ask?
Last night at work, while doing an exterior patrol, I stepped on a patch of slush covering ice and cranked my right knee but good! I mean it is fucking painful to say the least!
I know, I know, you are wondering how on Earth I found ice in Vancouver. Well as some of you may know (from the news or from living here) we had a massive (for Vancouver) dump of snow and temperatures down to -16c with the windchill. IE; Normal for Montreal, really abnormal for Vancouver.
Anywho, since my job requires a floor by floor patrol of 19 floors (+2 basements) I am not at work right now, having taken the day off, then getting my regular two days off, to try and heal up before I go back to work on Sunday night.
Well in the end a minor setback is all it is and I shall overcome this rather silly little thing. The kicker is I was just getting proud of myself for getting all this exercise every night... grumble... grumble... grr...
Onwards and upwards.
On the acting front, I auditioned for an indy horror film the other day and I think there is a good chance they may offer me the part. They emailed me the script and now everything is in my agent's hands. It is a fun script, and the character is a fun one too with 3 or 4 good scenes. It is a non-Union gig (thank goodness I am on suspension right now and can work on non-Union gigs) which means there won't be tons of money, but then those who know me well and remember how I got started in this industry (Time of Your Life anyone?) know I don't do it for the cash. It is a nice part of it to be sure, but you gotta love acting otherwise this business will kill you. Hell I even put my money where my mouth is after a fashion and did an indy film in '99 called "Lost and Found" for free. I liked the script, I liked the director and I liked the producer. That also was a very positive experience in my career.
So fingers crossed everyone that they want me for the part :)
