I do too, but I DON'T like what they're doing with George and Izzy. It's just wrong.

I'm ok with it right now...it depends where it goes next...

Did anyone mention that today is Shakespeare's birthday? I think I may watch a play on DVD.

Thanks George.

Jose-Did you do your usual & make suggestions after the auditions, or did you decide it was hopeless today?

Page 14 George and Callie dance

George, I'm starting to think that maybe Callie is too good for George...not you...George O'Malley.

Jose I’m sorry your day was frustrating, but it does make for entertaining reading.

Thanks, DR Jane.

It was just a weird/bad day from the start. The casting director's assistant had told me and the casting director that today's session ran from 10:00-6:00. Hmm... Normally, an EPA at Equity will run from 9:00-5:00, or 9:30-5:30. Never 10:00-6:00. (They usually start shutting down the lounge at 5:30.) Nope, we're running from 10:00-6:00 on Monday. So...

My train downtown was running very slow, so I didn't get to the audition until about 9:52. I wasn't late, just a little closer to the start time than I usually like...

Are you set to go? Or do you need a second to get settled
"Just give Jose a second, and then you send in the first group."
OK - The first couple of groups are pretty light, so you should be able to catch up.

-I played my first audition at 9:55am. Whew!

Hmm...

Well, after a couple of groups went...

"Were we supposed to start at 9:30 instead?"
Yeah, I'm sorry. I had the times wrong.
-And don't worry about it, my train was late too.
"Oh, OK."

And the day just kind of went from there. We did "catch up" within the first hour, and lunch seemed to come sooner rather than later. That's always nice.

Ok, so they are really going to play Bingo on TV? That's just wrong.

Maybe they all had the same voice teacher?

Well, that would explain the bad diction and pitchiness.

I made a few along the way. But, frankly, I was a bit snippy, and basically kept my mouth shut since I knew I would come across as "not helpful". $:-\$

She probably is, but he seemed to have just gotten over all his issues with Meredith and then he tries REAL HARD to fix things with Callie, and then ALL OF A SUDDEN he's interested in Izzy and totally blowing off Callie?? He's never been that much of a jerk and T.R.'s not playing him as a jerk. For me, it's the writing that's going in the wrong direction. $:-\$

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #403 on:** April 23, 2007, 06:09:54 PM »

...At least I was done at 5:30 instead of 6:00... And there were two or three "WOW!" auditions today too. Those are always nice. And, sadly, much to rare nowadays.

To celebrate my "early dismissal", I walked from 46th up to 74th, stopped into Levain (Chocolate Chip Walnut - although, I really wanted their Artichoke Heart and Gruyere Thin Crust Pizza, which they were sold out of for the day), then proceeded to walk up to 96th to catch the 1 Train the rest of the way uptown.

OH! And the abuelita who sells tamales had tamales dulce today! They were died a bright red/pink - almost like a red beet, and had raisins. Paired with one puerco con chile verde, they made for a very satisfying dinner.

Frankly, knowing how "sensitive" some of the actors and actresses are, they probably would have gone right around the corner to complain.

...And don't get me started on the fact that the two strings on the piano that were replaced two weeks ago, still have not been retuned and regulated since then. Your Equity dues at work!

$:-\$

Well, the getting drunk and sleeping with someone inappropriate to get over someone else is pretty much a theme of the show. Izzy and George were very good friends before they ended up in bed. The last episode could be mending the friendship and not more than that - depending on where it goes from here. I think Callie was a total rebound for George and I will be surprised if they last no matter what happens with George and Izzy

Keith’s mother is finally out of ICU. She still has an IV & isn’t permitted liquids or food, maybe tomorrow. The pain meds have been reduced from every 3 hours (no wonder she was so loopy) to every 6 hours. She sounds much better  , although I think she will miss the extra attention from the ICU nurses.

She said there are lots of windows in her room, which is exceptionally nice after so many days in a room with no windows and lights on all the time. She has a TV and the phone is attached to the bed. She answered right away when we called. We really timed it well, within minutes of her getting settled into her new bed.

Thanks again for all the vibes.

Probably why the terminology didn't catch on in the potato chip industry.

Sheesh, it really does sound like I had bad day. I really didn't. I'm just constantly amazed at the repeated stupidity some people in the business exhibit. -And they continue to wonder why they haven't received even a call back in a year... or two... or five... or ten... or... $:-\$

Aside from The Last Picture Show, did Timothy Bottoms ever give a good performance - he's certainly terrible in this Pakula film.

Glad CDs are arriving.

I myself received a rather large and imposing package from Brazil today - I'd forgotten it was coming. And in this package, sent by a friend who now lives there, were a whole slew of DVDRs of films that are simply not available anywhere else. But not only are they DVDRs, they are all 16x9 anamorphic transfers - while the few that I've sampled are not quite up to DVD standards, a few of them are better than transfers made by certain companies - all of them are sharp and more than acceptable - frequently excellent. Some of the titles are Pepe (looks incredible), Freud, The List Of Adrian Messenger, Commanche Station, Ride Lonesome, Mickey One, These Are The Damned, Lost Horizon (the musical), Good Neighbor Sam, and the one I'm watching now, Alan Pakula's Love and Pain and The Whole Damn Thing, which I've never been able to see before. There are others, too, such as Once More With Feeling, The Running Man, Interlude, The Pumpkin Eater, Sunrise At Campabello, and Bowhani Junction. Fun, huh?

Oh my God! Armageddon
