My question for ASK BK DAY:

When you were being sent on jobs for shows and commercials who were the other actors who were considered "your type" that you might see at these calls and auditions?

I've been home for nearly two hours. How To Succeed . . . is finally finished, and I hope we can invoice by the end of the week.

Dr Keenan gave me a prescription for an intense nose spray that is not in my HMO's "approved" drugs, so we had to get their approval, which arrived on Saturday. My copay on the prescription is $278.00! I feel like that poor man who died from diabetes because of the cost of insulin. I don't think I'll be getting it.

I'll learn to live with polyps, and the good thing is, if I need surgery, the HMO will pay for it all.

Every 90 days I pay $100 for a medication. I am in the process of ordering it from Canada Direct at a much lower price. It isn't the same brand name but is better than your regular generic.

It is possible the doctor can get you some samples to try.

She's home now...resting...and doing well.

I saw the vibes for Sandy and returned to see what I had missed. I am glad she is doing well.

Annabelle is definitely congested. This is old news, but what continues to frustrate the hell out of me is what's causing it. They tell me it's herpes, they tell me it's dental, they tell me it's polyps, they tell me it's an immune issue, they recommend Lysine which I add to their food daily, and the only thing that seems to clear it up temporarily is a flush of her sinuses and Azithromycin, which I cannot afford once a month.

I wish to God He'd either send me some steady work - not 3 months on, three-six months off - or just kill me. That damned property will never sell, God knows where the fat hell I'm getting next month's property taxes, and I wish to hell that the people who dangle jobs at me like a carrot on a stick would either deliver or get out of my life.

It sounds like a good idea. Good luck it makes a difference.

It was very muggy on our walk today. Shortly after we returned it began to rain, good timing.

Yes, they do. And this is outrageous.

When I moved from CA to my apartment in Illinois, I was shocked at my first electric bill. I called the electric company to ask if this was really the cost here, since I was new. They checked and said that amount was from the previous tenant’s use, took my move-in date, adjusted it on the spot, and sent a corrected bill.

On one phone call.

So how in the HELL can they say this is your problem? In addition to a local station, does the town have a 3-1-1 or other citizens help number?

Okay, here’s my new rant.

When did it become “mandatory” when taking a picture at the Broadway show you’re attending, to hold up your damned PROGRAM (or Playbill, as everyone calls them now, even when they aren’t actually a Playbill publication), obscuring half or more of what you COULD be showing us? Like, oh, you know, the damned theater or something else we wouldn’t normally see? I have to bite my tongue because I’ve come so close to offending good friends who, like sheep, do this every time now, that it scares me a little. Why, Lord? Why?

Wes Stern, Joel Kimmel (no relation), Sal Viscuso, lots of others, my friend Alan Abelew - who actually went to a commercial call that had in its description "a Bruce Kimmel type" - that was from one of my little hiatus periods where I wasn't doing commercials.

I've been listening and proofing the Adriana audiobook - really enjoying it and she does very well with the dialogue sections. I think it's probably impossible to be completely satisfied with every character when it's one person, and had I been in the same city I would probably have asked for a few adjustments, but so much of this is so good and she's also funny, which is helpful. But the first two chapters had quite a few errors - words missing mostly or changed a few times, so I've been keeping a list as I go - the worst of it was chapter two and I suspect it won't ever be that bad again - about then things in that chapter - chapters three and four have two for the former and four for the latter, so that's not bad at all. So far, I've only made on pronunciation note and one interpretation note - everything else is stuff that was misread.

It has stopped raining here & the sun is out. It was raining in the wee hours of the morning when I was walking around inside vs sleeping.
