Actor's Express has started up in earnest, and it's a bit nuts over there.
I can't remember if I said this or not, but just in case, the season is opening with Grey Gardens. Ha. Yeah.
My new goal in life is to be half as talented as Jill Hames, the woman who plays Young Big Edie and Old Little Edie. In the read-through/sing-through, I lost my shit everywhere when she went into "Around the World" and "Another Winter In A Summer Town."
Einstein is fine. I'm getting used to the ridiculous schedule. Wake up at four or five, work until ten or eleven or noon, take a nap, wake up, work out, eat dinner, go to the theatre, leave around midnight, immediately go to bed, and then start it all over again. Thank God for weekends.
The interns were supposed to come over last night for a glass of wine and possibly a viewing or the Grey Gardens movie, which I've never seen. Buuuut that didn't happen, so I just drank some by myself and played The Sims. I think I needed a night to relax.
I haven't had an actual conversation with any of the interns except for Paige. And even that was just "hey, how was your day, how was work?" Everything else is just witty banter and jokes. That's fine for a little while, but I'd like to start learning who they are as people now.
... would I look like a freak if I asked them to Meisner with me, do you think?
I don't know how much Meisner they've had. I doubt they sit around and do it for fun like lots of us did back at USM. The difference is glaring and inescapable.
I don't tihnk they've done any Expressive Actor, either. Most of them move like they don't understand how their joints bend.
I do like them. I don't want to sound like I don't. I just wish I really knew them enough to have real conversations. I mean, I'm really lonely over here and fairly miserable, but I can't talk to anyone about it.
I guess I'll get over it eventually.
