DR ELMORE the Dream-O-Matic 6000 says that your dream indicates that you enjoy working with MR BK and the opportunities it affords you but that you feel you don't know him very well personally.

You may also hear from or about your friend Charlene in the next ten days.

I would love to know where Charlene now is.  When I finished grad school, she started going blind from retinitis.  I remember, the year I lived in Pennsylvania, driving to Baltimore to see her while she was in treatment at Johns Hopkins.  As the blindness increased and she worried more about her future, she married some oaf for security.  None of us has heard from her since the mid-1970s, and the Miami alumni office has no records for her.

I slept for 16 hours when I got to Florida last December. I was exhausted and sick.

TCB...if it was me, I would feel better about not getting the part if I found out that the director gave it to a best friend and that was why I was given so little opportunity to read.

To me at least, knowing it was politics and that if Meryl Streep herself had shown up incognito she would not have had a shot at the role would keep me from feeling that I was being rejected for immediate appearance of lack of talent.

But  you know your friend , so you must do what you think best.   Just my 2cents

I agree with Vimom.

This was my thought as well.  But it might just make her mad that she wasted her time. I still don't get why the director didn't just say that the role was already cast. Why waste people's time.

I had a serious panic attack over this post-colonoscopy phone call and appointment with a surgeon.  It's ridiculous to panic over something I won't know anything about for another week, but my mind wouldn't stop running through a lot of what ifs, all of which unsettled me. 

I think most people would have the same reaction.  Did you receive an explanation as to why you are seeing this particular doctor?  Might it be due to your past medical history?  Were you given the results of the biopsy on your appendix?  This new doctor is not an oncologist so that is good.

It seems you might be dealing with unnecessary stress due to lack of information.  I hope so.

Coping vibes until your appointment.

Whoever called me from the office had no answers to my questions, just told me she was scheduling an appointment with this surgeon once the scan was done.

Annabelle has a new daytime sleeping space: the interior of her carrier.  I am happy that the antibiotic seems to be helping her.

As a director - I usually ask at the end if anyone wants to read something.....but usually it's folks who want to read for parts that are completely inappropriate for them talent-wise, age-wise, or looks wise......

I think ONCE I have been surprised and pleased - in 40 years - so I keep asking.....usually at general auditions, not callbacks.

If I have callbacks, I have the performer in mind for a specific part....

I suspected that.  It is very frustrating when that happens.

I am stuck at home this morning while Keith is at the gym.  Someone has to be here as we are having our bathroom counters, showers, and floors cleaned and re-grouted.  We have travertine which stains easily.  It looks much better already.

I love working for my London conductor and West End International.  I submitted the invoice, and the money was transferred overnight.  That will cover the property taxes, thank God.

That's great, Larry!

All the invoices I have printed are sorted and in their appropriate envelopes, and I've just converted the Amazon.co.uk invoices to dollars.

I just received a carton of pears and apples from Harry & David!  Well, I didn't order this and there was no gift card, so I was about to go onto HHW anmd ask, who the fat hell sent this? when I looked on the top of the carton.  At the top of the address label there was a note from my neighbor Roberta:  Thanks for taking care of my mail.

I've been picking up her mail for the past ten days.  She's back tomorrow. What a nice surprise.
