I just got back from my audition
And the only thing I will watch right now is a "Law & Order" rerun on TNT. I am just not that masochistic. I do NOT (with all due respect) understand how any of you can stomach that treacherous cretin on your tube for more than a millisecond. :puke: In fact, with the exception of the debates last year, he has not been on my TV screen for more than 3 seconds total since January 20, 2001.

Give yourself a much-deserved break, folks! You'll thank yourself in the morning. :-)

The audition went well, despite having a sore and scratchy throat. I read for Pozzo in "Waiting For Godot". I'll find out Monday...

TURN THAT DAMN CHIMP OFF! ;-)

3. I knew you rawked! Kewl! ;-)
It went okay considering my cold and all. It's the same director I worked under in "A Christmas Story", so it was laid back. We sat in the green room and read from chairs, lol. Just did 2 pages, mostly chatted. :-)

You rawk for not watching the Chimp! :D

7. Great choice!
Which episode? I love that show. When we were talking about "Godot" tonight, one of the actors mentioned that someone said it was a "play about nothing", to which he remarked it must be just like Seinfeld - the 'show about nothing'. :-)

6. Glad it went well.
So all you gotta do is wait nervously all weekend.

Just got in from our DFA meeting and I'm in too good a mood to turn this on.

10. I am not nervous actually!
I figure with a 3 for 3 record with auditions, I can handle at least one rejection. :-)

Glad your meeting went well, and you are correct in not wanting to spoil your mood!

13. Thanks Muse!
This is just a small production to be tucked in between the current one and the next big one in April... so it's okay whatever happens.

:hug: Thanks for the good wishes. I had some wheat toast with butter and honey for dinner. That made me feel better.

12. I'm reading the New Yorker
Rather than watch that smug asshole. Interesting arrticle about our "pal" Alawi. He sounds almost as much a criminal as Saddam. Or Bush.

Good luck with the audition.

18. I'll drink to that!
Criminy! I couldn't bear to watch, either.

The front page of DU has FIVE SOTU threads posted, not one of them coherent for anyone who didn't watch the horror-freak show. People visiting DU for the first time over the next 24-48 hours will think we're all idiots.

It's a sad day when you have to visit the Lounge for a reality check. :eyes: On the other hand--GOD/DESS BLESS THE LOUNGE LIZARDS!!!!

24. I watched a movie tonight --
And I, too, can't watch that cretin for more than a few seconds (as long as it takes to find the remote to change channels; he makes me ill.

Only 3 years and 11 months to go.

Good luck with the audition, Zomby. I'll bet you knocked 'em dead.

28. Hi VolcanoMom!
Long time no see! :hug:

The movie was a much better choice, I bet. I will watch almost anything, just to study the acting. I can't watch anything normally anymore, lol.

Hope you are well! Thanks for the well-wishes. :loveya:

27. But it's funny!
Without the SOTU my mom wouldn't be saying shit like this..

"Wow, Dick Cheney just adjusted his pants... looked like he was playing with himself!"

or...

"Mom, we're going to write a book containing all the logical reasons why we think Condi Rice is actually a robot."

I said you'd get the role of the Old Man in the Christmas Story when you just claimed you'd get Santa. I have high hopes for this one!!!

what show will it be?

41. Check Rabrrrrrr's post below! #31
If you haven't studied Samuel Beckett yet, go get a copy of this play.

I read for the part of "Pozzo" (pronounced like Bozo), a rather failed capitalist-pig shyster type.

And by the way, I WAS Santa too! His part was offstage as the kids went up the steps and down the slide. I read him with a BOOMING voice. So we were both right! :D

31. Waiting for Godot! Fantastic!!
How did the Christmas Story play go for you?

I hope you get this part! That's exciting that you are getting into theater.

If I had the skill, I would go through Top Gun and replace Tom "I Suck" Cruise with Zomby "I Rock" Woof! Then the movie would be palatable.

35. "A Christmas Story" was a RESOUNDING success!
I even tasted celebrity a week or so later after it closed when a woman recognized me at the bank downtown.... "Hey Bumpuses!" It was a riot. She fawned all over me. I now look down even more on bitchy celebrities who hate signing autographs and all, lol.

If I did "Top Gun", I would dada-ize it even more than I think it already is. :P

while I film you while four women dressed as Vatican guards with uzis and rolls of tar paper and paper mache rats glued to their clothing pour Campbell's soup on you."

"Instead of doing a flyby to celebrate, I thought that I'd fill the missile tubes with toenails and spent motor oil and launch them into Bea Arthur's breviary while she holds a head of lettuce and sits on a statue of Ghandi."

Been there (not in the same way, but close) and done that.

It's quite daunting.

You'll be fine if you are true to yourself.

47. I slept through the speech
I can barely tolerate watcing the idiot on TV and have probably watched him (outside of the debates) for merely a few more seconds than you have. I also have never once refered to him as the "P" word since he stole the presidency back on 12/12/2000.

I am ashamed we have that idiot in our White House. Maybe I'm not with the majority of the folks here in the United States, but I know I'm with the overwhelming majority in the rest of the world.

Good luck with your audition - where are you at these days?

Good luck getting the part, ZW. Pozzo is a pretty amusing character. Anyhoo - I'll admit it, I wathched the chimp last night - it's like a train wreck - I have to slow down and watch the the flames and destruction. It was boring and it repeated the same old lies, but obviously in your wisdom, you knew that and avoided it. Good luck, once again. :hi:
