What a great family I have! Truly, I mean it. I was planning on going to the library to search for some monologues. That was my big plan for the entire day, to do some research, or R.S. if you will. In my persuit of acting, it's pretty important to do some R.S. in order to have some solid monologues for auditions, and the ones I have aren't that great. So, when I talked to my mother this morning I told her of my plan to do some M.R.S. (monologue research). She was of course very surprised to hear that, since she knows I didn't discover my college's library until the very very tail end of freshman year, and wondered how I would go about finding a monologue and if I would be able to handle being in an actual library. I quickly told her I would just go to the theatre and film section and start pulling out scripts and scanning them for material, probably at random. She came back with a suggestion that I do a little planning before going there and not waste my time randomly looking for monologues. I figured that was a good point. She also mentioned that my brother's friend is coming over tonight who's an actor (and went to the same colleg I did and probably went to the library more that I did) and maybe has some thoughts as well. How much do I love my mom for persuading me (it doesn't take much) to not go to the library. Especially on such a beautiful day as it is today.
Although not particularly of interest, today for lunch I resorted to eating a small yogurt and three rice cakes. While it is less about dieting, it is more about my laziness. Don't worry, though, I washed it down with a couple glasses of the finest Poland Spring bottled water. Living large in NYC is what I'm all about. People think New York City is about going out all the time, clubbing, fine dining, plays, and concerts. I tell you, there is another side of New York, the one that only artists know about. The New York that's filled with no clubbing, cheap deli's, rush and discount tickets, and free concerts while training and persuing your career in the arts. That's the New York I know, and it can be quite fun much of the time (other times it can just plain blow).
