Being An Actor

I am always evaluating what it means to be an actor. This week it meant madness. For the film I am doing with Law from Cinema Set Free I had to sit in a tub full of tea. For, I would say in total, five hours. There are a number of reasons why it was an unusual situation for me.

NUMBER ONE: I don't like baths. I never take them. I HAVE NEVER LIKED baths, even as a small child (i am almost positive this is true, even though I haven't double checked this fact with my mom). I think they are gross because you are wading in your own filth.

NUMBER TWO: I only recently started to like iced tea, which is BASICALLY what I was bathing in.

NUMBER THREE: We were filming in the bathroom of an apartment. Which meant that if we had to pee there was no place to go. I had started the shoot day off with two big cups of coffee and then proceeded to get down to my underwear in a luke warm tub of Lipton's.

That being said. I think this film is going to be so beautiful.

My horoscope today told me to take risks. That I am usually more reserved and worry too much and that good things will come from taking chances.

So today I emailed a man on Jdate. And while that may not be the most daring thing I could have done, it felt quite exhilarating to me.

I will keep you posted on his response. I screened what I wrote with my sister. So I have high hopes. But not too high. Just high enough.

Ya know?
