8/5/2014 3 Comments Audition Mornings I Live ForGood morning!!! These days I always start with an extra kick! I love it! I even took time to "smell the roses" on the way to the subway! 3rd Hair Spray at 9 am and if I'm lucky I'll catch Hamilton after 10! *UPDATE * only 10 none equity union people in front of me! He just start calling people in 3's and 4's! There's only 3 women here for the part of Motor Mouth Maybelle including me! Idk why there isn't many equity people here. Oh Well! I should be in the next batch! **UPDATE ** I did it! I messed up a line but I'm ok with that! They mouthed the words while I sang. They even laughed when I started the song "When You're Good To Mama". Apparently they liked the song and it was a surprise for them. They asked me about a previous show on my resume "Jesus Super Star Gospel" from back in Atlanta. I left feeling at ease. NEXT! ***UPDATE ***
While I was walking (because I was lost again) I saw something in my reflection. A BOOTY! I've never had one before! Grandma used to call,me "square pants "! I mean, this one is real! It poked out from under my shirt. I could see my back pockets. from the side! THANKS STAIRS! Another reason to love NEW YORK! But I tell ya, a girl is tired. Hips don't lie. I'm more tired than Kelly Price on a Tyler Perry soundtrack. I'm in bed and it's now near 9pm. GOOD NIGHT WORLD!

8/4/2014 1 Comment Cloves & CloversYesterday I talked to Gerald at length about my throat issues. So since I have no auditions today, I'm in search of cloves. I'm hoping to that will be my good luck charm. He said that they are antimicrobial and I should hold it inside my mouth or chew it but not to swallow the leaf. Did you know it's a natural remedy for tooth aches? It makes sense since all medicines are derived from natural treatments. Our western medical ways are more about money than actual cures. I need to get a natural remedy book. As soon as my clothes are done washing and I meet with this lady for intake I'm outta here! *Update * My afternoon plans didn't go as I'd hoped. THEY GOT BETTER! I was gonna go back to Manhattan to handle more business but my morning appointment ran long. The guy who did my intake interview was also a performer! We talked for hours. in the midst of the interview we discussed all kinds on places I can go and practice, audition, perform and learn! As it turns out, one of the places has karaoke tonight and is a great place to network! And who has a pass? THIS GIRL! I can now resume my grind, nighttime! Now I've got to find food. smh I talked through lunch and I'm starving. *UPDATE ** I'm headed to The Fat Black PUSSY Cat! ***LAST UPDATE***
I left. The place was a bust. The Blue Note across the street had a line. 5 shops down! I was way to hot and sticky for that. Plus I'm sure there was a cover. I made it back to the shelter in good time. I need to rest for the HAIR SPRAY audition anyway. GOOD NIGHT WORLD! 8/3/2014 1 Comment Sunday Will Be Better?Morning. I do not think I can properly express the way I feel about last night but I'll try. Around midnight everyone was settled down and I guess a new person was given a bed. Not long later all you could here was moaning. At first I wasn't sure what I was hearing because it woke me up. The overnight crew was being exceptionally loud over the radio. Cleaning crew were loudly talking and someone kept slamming a locket or overhead bin (maybe a drunk) and sounded like falling down. The chic kept moaning. Someone asked of she was ok because it was obvious she wasn't sick. (bedroom noises) I couldn't go back to sleep so I put on my headphones and turned on my favorite meditation video on YouTube. I had drifted off for almost an hour when I hear very loud complaining near my door. Some chic left her purse in a common area. She's wailing about it asking for security. She could have just gone up front and spoke to them but no, she wanted in house service. Someone saw her purse get turned in so she went to retrieve it. I roll back over and pull my eye mask back on and try to sleep. I almost drift again but she's back! This time complaining about what was taken. Again, could have been taken care of up front. Someone was messing up the intercom and it was ringing. more noise. This chic is loud as hell about her $40 missing, cards and phone. Nothing anyone in here trying to sleep can help her with. Then she says "I'm just a white woman". I sat up like, Wtf that suppose to mean? Who cares?! At this point I can't keep quiet. I'm saying stuff like we're trying to sleep. Mind you its after 2am now. This went on for a little while longer till they assured her they would do something to help. It's 8:30am and I hear her telling someone "guess what, they found my phone". Why is she so damn loud?! I've missed breakfast, my eyes hurt from such a horrible night of noises then to top it all off the intake counselor set an appointment for 10:30 and she dont even come in on Sunday's and the backup called in! I need out of this dump! *UPDATE * 8/2/2014 2 Comments My SaturdayGood morning! I know, I know I'm late. I got locked out of my room last night. I went to sign for my bed like they said to but they had me write my name down instead and by the time I got out of the shower the key didn't work. they let fixed it but I was annoyed. While I was laying down the blanket I keep dropped over the small floor length Window by the door was being pulled. I'm like "excuses you "! First she jumped above it to soo then she bends down to look under it and I'm looking right in her eyes. I asked "what are you doing and what do you,want "? She says she normally does that to check up on people. I know that's a lie because I don't see other people's drapes being pulled. You see, part of my Braves blanket is stuck under an overhead bin and the other is stuck into the door as I open and close it. This morning I fixed that. I got some tape and put up notebook paper. Ha! Nosey! I have plans for today. aim getting my geek on! It's museum day! I plan on being there for the day. The feet are on Fire but I'm loving every bit of this walk through history and even seeing "us" in it even though. "we" have not been taught that "we" existed, even then. **UPDATE ** This art is AMAZING! Some of it looks like what I did in elementary school but the rest, WOW! Real brush strokes! *UPDATE * I'm sure you will like the butt crack fanny pack pic too. lol *UPDATE * I'm sure you will like the butt crack fanny pack pic too. lol And the Egyptian wing was last! ***Last Updated ***
I made it back just in time for bed check. I've been listening to Legally Blond and Paulettes part all day! As I'm next to sign in a dude whom I couldn't tell was in line or not steps up to sign as well. I stepped back. He motions for me to go ahead. I do. Then he playfully steps back up. I say dude go ahead. but he steps back again. Simultaneously another dude that just signed in asks if I stay here. I said, "what you think". Then I grab the pen and flip through the pages for my name. The (funny) guy tries to see where I'm signing and asks my name. I said "none of your business and close the paper fast because he's remote look over my arm to see. At the same time the guy that was in from of me walks passed me but too close. I had to cuss his old ass out! The duck you touch me for? Yall bout to get fucked up! Get the fuck away from me! I had to hurry to the women's area. Got me on full guard. Good night world. |
