I guess I should give this thing a proper update. The remainder of my break was nice... good to spend time in FL, though it was extremely limited. I was able to see Tee and Ashley, and duh Anthony. So that was nice. It was so warm, you guys. Like... so warm. I miss the warmth. But where iiiiiis the warmth?
I didn't do much when we got back into the city. Had a couple auditions that, though I wasn't cast, went so extremely well (with one ending up in a callback). And then I decided to be proactive about this year's Oscars and made a giant list of movies and began that adventure. I'm still not done. I know your first response will be to point out that I'm a loser and that it's a sad way to spend my time... but it was so completely fulfilling. I'd forgotten how much I like going to movies alone... but most of all, I'd forgotten how much I just love movies. I really really do. What I recommend the most out of everything I saw is The Reader. It totally took me by surprise, and Kate Winslet is breathtaking. (She is too in Revolutionary Road, along with Leonardo DiCaprio giving maybe the best performance of his career... yet overlooked by the Academy... WHATEVER. The movie I didn't love, but they're completely worth the $12.)
ANYWAY. Aside from that. (Which is hard, because movies and the award season have engulfed my life, and I love it.) Started school again on Wednesday... I'm excited about this semester. I'm not scared yet, though I know that will come. I'm happy about my classes, but this semester more than ever I need to learn to manage my time. My two women's studies classes are going to kill me if I can't learn to do that better. I really want to not slack this semester and really knock it out of the park... because, well, it's my last chance.
Things with Mike are great. I feel like I should keep people updated on that. We're approaching our 2 year anniversary in 3 months. So that's good. And we're heading in the right direction I think. A direction I definitely want to go in.
Auditions for Bare are Sunday. I'm feeling pretty good, especially since I was assured by Bob today that Crossing Brooklyn won't conflict. But I'm going to control my feeling good about it because... well, I've felt good about things before. ;-) lol If anything, I have CB to look forward to, and I can't wait. I'm just going so out of my head not having theater to work on right now. I started an acting/creative journal recently to release the energy. I sound like a hippie.
SPEAKING OF - I have a new blog. (LOL)
http://thegoodkerrie.blogspot.com . It won't replace this. I really haven't developed a purpose for it, actually. But Rose has one and it looked pretty and I want to play. It may not last, I dunno, but I'd like to try and update it every day. This journal is set aside to update on my life and all that - really as a way in keeping in touch with some people. So the other one will be for... other thins? lmao who the hell knows.
Uhh I think that's it? Yeah sure. :-D
