Checking In

So lately haven't been doing much acting or much of anything that I really want to do.  I have been taking care of my pets, and the home.  Had to give away my large dog and that was very sad for me =(  but I won't get into all the details or I'll end up crying.  Anyway, I ended up going to the private screening of Single Daddies last week and it was a bit better than I had expected (I had very very very low expectations after seeing the preview) but it needs lots of work.  It seemed a bit rushed.  The writer has great ideas and the show has huge potential but it needs the right people, professional people, to work on it.  Specially the editing part.  I did go to an audition last week which was very refreshing for me since I had not done any acting in a while.  I'm sure I won't get the part because it was asking for someone much younger...a teenager, but still.  I have another audition this coming Saturday that I'm really looking forward to.  They asked for a 20's Hispanic reporter.  It's perfect!

I'm gonna start taking acting lessons again very soon.  I finally withdrew the money from my 401k account so once that is done I am officially broke and jobless.  No more partying lol.  But thankfully I have landed some opportunities.  I have joined the promotions business and already have a few lined up with pretty decent pay.  At least enough to pay my bills.  As for UH for Theater, I guess it's safe to say they didn't pick me.  They could have at least had the courtesy to say so and not just leave me hanging but that's that and I need to move on to bigger and better things.   I also had two belly dance performances last week and was on a local tv show and had what I guess you can call an audition to be music video presenter.  It feels good to start being active again =)

Another one of my plans is to sign up for dance lessons.  I'm planning on going tonight for jazz.  I've never taken it so I'm nervous and I am no longer flexible at all!  My bigger plan is to try out for the Rockets Power Dancers.  Auditions are in about two months.  They have prep classes but I want to have some kind of experience before showing up and completely ridiculing myself lol.  I'm pretty sure I won't make it this time around but at least I can have knowledge of how the auditions are and what to expect.  If at the end I decide no to try out again next year than it will still do good on my resume to have some kind of dance background besides belly dance.

Well, that's what is going on right now.  Still working on remodeling the home and been wasting lots of time on Guitar Hero thinking it will help me learn how to play the real drums lol.
