Found myself on a blistering hot Saturday

For an Alan Ball project that's supposed to come out on Cinemax sometime in 2013.  I was excited because I am a fan of his work -- Six Feet Under and True Blood, anyone?  I felt it was worth doing the exterior BG work.  I was pleased to get contacted for it, and by 5 am I was checking in just a couple of blocks from the place I was born and grew up.  So it was really cool.  It was a dramatic scene which involved a cool Camaro (in black of course) and screeching of tires, stuntsman running and 'shooting guns' and dodging 'bullets'.  It was pretty awesome!  I found myself running and acting surprised and scared as if I was experiencing it all for the very first time.  Twenty takes, and I was still keeping it fresh.  What helped was having some fun familiar faces to run and act with in BG.  I felt very grateful to be relatively healthy and in shape to run for each and every take.  Some people didn't bother, some claimed they had bad knees and strolled, not even breaking their conversation about something unrelated to what we were doing, but I would just keep it going.  Because this means something to me.  Something more. 

Had an audition earlier in the week, a casting agency saw me on line at a casting site and invited me in.  I made them laugh, and it seems they liked what they saw.  Whether the client actually did is yet to be seen.  I think I nailed it.  Meanwhile, I see them posting for background people.  I haven't heard anything.  Oh well.  Keeping it moving.  I submitted for the BG just in case as it's a good rate. 

Sigh.

Looking for a day job in the meantime as well as continuing to submit for work.  There's a three day gig coming up and I am continuing to submit myself every time I see a casting submission link somewhere about it.  Already three times.  Let's see what happens.  Plus put in for Boardwalk as they're looking for people, and I bide my time and be patient, because I want to get back onto working that one too.  I liked that one a lot, and the clothing and attention to detail was awesome.

I cut my hair to chin length because it's summer.  I hemmed and hawed about it for two months because I was wondering to hold on to the length just in case Boardwalk calls.  Well, if they call, there's hair pieces and if anything, my hair style now is considered very early 1920's anyway.  Have to do something about my eyebrows.  Just got them done over a week ago and they are already fuzzing.  New guy worked on them, as my usual person went and sold the place out and didn't let us know where she was going!  She took most of the staff with her too!  Sheesh!

Well, back to the mines, my friend.
