The "ho hum" of auditionless days

The past two days I have been slammed with rain...auditions, not so much.

I know I'm fortunate to go on auditions all the time -- but it raises the question, what do you do when you don't have auditions?

Let me tell you:
-workout
-read scripts for interest
-run errands
-twiddle my thumbs
-write

You can only meet friends for coffee so many times, and in this weather the reality is that snuggling up in bed with a glass of wine and big bowl of soup sounds more amazing than any of the aforementioned busywork.

Even better if my boyfriend was here. He, by the way, is a gem. It takes a special breed to support the roller coaster of emotions that come with being an actress. And no, I'm not talking about the emotions in scenes. Those are nothing compared to the barrage of bullshit I bring home with me everyday after an audition. Bless his heart. He's a good egg.

I'll give you more specifics on post audition insanity a bit later. Trust me, it deserves its own post.

Back to thumb twiddling...
