So this summer has been extremely unpredictable.
Life was going very smoothly until two wednesdays ago I destroyed my right ankle
doing a jumping side kick in class. It's not too good when you come down on your foot and it twists sideways and there is a huge crunch. I went from two crutches to one crutch and now walking around the house without a brace
it hurt a lot and it looks like it is going to take two to three weeks to fully heal.
the upside of this minor tragedy is that work has been lesss hectic and physical therapy is pretty pleasant
while everyone else is reading "HP 7 " (blech) i've been reading "the fervent years" by harold clurman. It's about the Group theatre in the 1930s and I have to say it's one of the best books on the American theatre I've ever read. Our young culture as a whole has no clue of what it means to lift oursleves out of the depression out of sheer will. However, At points it is also uplifting. I finished "sanford meisner: on acting" several weeks ago. It was really a reiteration of everything i've learned throughout the years. I'd like to take a class in the last part of his technique. it seems interesting and it could help me to be a better actor.
All I think about is starting this imaginary theatre group in my head. I try to plan it out but it gets nowhere. raising money for such an endeavor is time consuming. for some other reason, there is this idea of joining a branch of the military in order to pay off my loans and i really hope that doesn't have to happen.
This summer kind of sucks. I'm not active in what i really want to do with my life. i might take a leave of absense from Zhang sah in september and audition everywhere for a couple weeks. who knows. anyone that gets anywhere has to always have a plan. plans are good only if you follow through with them i always do. it's just that i have sooooo much money to pay off
Rule #3
Treat your livelihood like it's the greatest love of your life. never let it slip away from you or you'll never see it again
