This is turning into more of a weekly blog than A daily. I apologize for that but things aren't as exciting on a day to day basis as they used to be...maybe they are and I'm just getting used to it.
Anyway, my days have been taken up by work. I will soon be in a financial situation where I can get out of this shitty apartment situation. They said when I came back they needed me out by the end of the month however...this is the end of the month and they haven't confirmed everything...so I'm pretending I forgot.
If they do kick me out before I can raise the money to move I have a couple people who have offered me the kindness of there couch so I'm not insanely worried. I was in a position financially to buy a Parka do go over my coat to keep me warmer than my coat can which is leaps and bounds from where I was a couple weeks ago.
Selling is going really really well. Not a lot more drama at work, just enough to be annoying not enough to report about. The guy that got in my face did try making nice with me. I'll smile and nod, say everything is water under the bridge but I am not forgetting that the guy is a fucking phsyco and would love to see me and my entire team dead just because we are competition.
I got to shake Donald Glover's hand the other day while at work...my life is kind of being consumed by work but I will soon be in a position where I can get on some auditioning websites...maybe order some head shots and get back on the acting track. Maybe I can do something that isn't experimental theatre. The nightmare house was awesome and Jekyl and Hyde would have been great if I got it but I am ready for something with a script.
I love improv as well but improv is not why I love acting.
This was my first Thanksgiving in New York and what a Thanksgiving it was. I went to the grocery store (which was open...wtf?) and got potatoes, and wine and a few other things. I hopped on the train, took the wrong connecting train, got back on the train and finally arrived at my friends Dawn and Amanda's apt.
I made the Mashed taters with lumps just like ma used to make, I carved the turkey and remarked on the irony of the only vegetarian in the room cutting the bird, I ate insane amounts of food...really it was unseemly, drank an equally grotesque amount of wine and vodka and hung out with some of my favorite NYC peeps. Lindsey and Jessica had there own plans and Thanksgiving was kind of a nice reminder that I have been living here, I have built friendships here, I now have people who care about me here that aren't reserved to the Raymond Did It cast.
here are the rest of my holiday plans in case any of you are wondering. I don't want to do anything like a family christmas...I would rather wait till next year to do things that remind me of the traditions I can't have any more.
I also don't want to lose those sales days because they are big and they will probably carry me through the slow season which is the entire month of January and February.
So I think I will only be able to be in IL for a couple days the week before Christmas. The final plan will be figured out and announced once I figure it out.
That's all the news today, I wish I had something more interesting for you. I have five days till I've been here 3 months (not including the two weeks in october I went home) any ideas on something I should do to commemorate?
