everybody's coming, leave your body at the door

[thehefner]

Whether they know it or not, five of the six customers browsing in the store right now are moving their bodies to the beat of Oingo Boingo's "Dead Man's Party."

It's the little things, it really is.

I have to be wary of iTunes... I just bought the whole "Only a Lad" album and am now in danger of just splurging and buying more. Must get friends to burn me CDs! And I must must MUST get the live album, because the little bit I've heard of the live version of the greatest song ever made was just amazing. I speak, of course, of "Little Girls."

In between Hefner Monologues, I'm working on a play or screenplay (we'll see how it goes) based on the events and relationships of my life over the past year or so. And I want there to be a fully orchestrated and choreographed musical number of "Little Girls" at the end. It could be brilliant.

Silver Spring Stage called me back to thank me for coming, sorry we don't need you for callbacks, "but do come back for more auditions and hopefully we'll find the right role for you." Find the right role for me? Fuck you.

To relieve my frustration, I'm gonna see if my local video store has Forbidden Zone.

Eh, let 'em be polite. Yeah, they fucked up auditions, but it doesn't mean they're not genuinely sorry.

It takes at least two data points to draw a line.

I was actually taking issue with the idea that I could be better suited to other roles. It feels kinda like a jab to the ol' ego.

They called you to let you know. They didn't have to. They totally could have just ignored you. That they did and also said they'd like to see you audition in the future is not only polite, but also means they probably would like to use you, just not for this production.

So VERY often a director wants something completely different from the amazing idea the actor wants. You get used to it.

Ok, ok, so I'm being unduly harsh. I'm just bitter over the waste of time that audition was for something that could have been good.

Hell, I could have gone to the gym that day, which would have been tons more productive.

having been to their auditions three times ... i'm still with you...who cares if they called?? It doesn't change the fact that there auditions are HORRIBLY ORGANIZED! I could rant but I don't want to take up space in your journal.

sorry, rage produces typos

"Their" auditions are HORRIBLY ORGANIZED.

That's happened to me before! Only it was more along the lines of we're simply not going to call you back and say nice things.
