Exactly. Exactly a hundred beers. Thank you.

It wasn't until just as I started performing the pantomime exercise for tonight's first class at Studio Theatre today that I realized why I was so fucking nervous for the past few hours. "Oh, right, I'm here to improve on my weaknesses, and with this pantomime in a class on Realism, I'm putting allllll my weaknesses right out there on display! Everything from my ham acting and over the top gestures to how I rush through everything so fast and sloppily. I'm here to improve. Which means I have to go through *this* first, right!"

It was a great class, don't get me wrong. This shall be an excellent class. But holy god, I am going to be SO stressed and on edge. I think it's finally time I do like Bloo's been telling me to do for months and take up Tai Chi. I need to deal with all this bloody stress. Meantime, I have beer.

Speaking of which, I'm still planning on hitting up the Open Mic tomorrow night. Or rather, tonight, at this point. The interesting thing about the "Drunk in Bath" story is whether or not the frenetic, intense, Denis-Leary-like pace and energy will help or hurt the story as I try to get it done in around five minutes.

Garrison Keillor, this will not be, that much is for certain.

unfortunately i will not be able to make it becasue of class but best of luck.


Yeah I'm also very nervous. I've alwasy assumed that I'd make to be a good movie maker/novelist because coming up with stories are all I have ever really been good at. Now that I'm finally putting it to the test it's a little nerveracking.

Hey, no sweat pally. Hell, I'm not sure I even want anybody I know there at all until I get a bit more confident.

Yeah, it's a scary thing. It's freaky scary. But it's what's gotta be done if we don't wanna spend out whole life in a pipe dream.

clearly, the answer is: you should listen to me in all things.

regardless of how it turns out, I'm so happy that you're doing the open mic, and I wish you the best of luck, even though that's supposed to be unlucky where acting is concerned. fie on you, unlucky good luck!

yes. *mwah!*

Pssst.

I was in Tai Chi for a while, but I couldnt keep up with it. I was so depressed that, during mediation, I would burst into tears and couldnt stop sobbing. I just couldnt focus inward without feeling miserable. I'm often still like that, so I tend to try not to focus inward. I'm not nearly as bad as I used to be, of course, but we all feel depressed from time to time. Right now Im working on getting my life in order.. I feel so far behind, like I should be better off than I am now, for being 26 years old. Im still making the same amount of money I made just out of high school, doing the same kind of work. I need to move on.
