FAIL!

So here I am, after a terrible weekend, and a terribly stressful day...defeated....Let me explain.
Last weekend I was unable to fix my car after 10+ hours of trying to do so, the best I could do was put it back into the same shape it was before I even tried fixing it in the first place...and now I have to pay $250 so that way I can have it fixed....boo....How the relates to acting is this: While I was "fixing" my car, I could have been working on my audition, which was for the part of Eugene, and although I feel I did well....it wasn't quite well enough to land me the part.
Two things that are so unrelated but make you feel just as crappy in the end. I couldn't fix my car because I'm not an experienced enough mechanic, and I couldn't land the part because I'm not an experienced enough actor.
However, it was slightly relieving to open my mailbox after today to realize my book for acting class had arrived! Now at least I can start reading the text and not feel so out of touch in class.
Speaking of class, I think we're supposed to read something...and pick a scene...and get a partner...Rory? Partner? Read? Scene?

Alright, my internet is back, yay! Anywho, I thought you did great on your auditions, the amount of people going for Eugene and the quality of most of them was great. I know I would have had a heck of a time casting it. I'm really sorry you didn't get it, though, you were definitely one of my top picks. :)

As for Oedipus, I would love to be your partner! Do you have anything in mind yet? I'm hard pressed to choose, but I need to soon. If you want to meet up when we would normally have practice tomorrow you can call me at 503-701-0486. I'm free tomorrow from the time acting class starts until 4.

Actually it might be easier just to do monologues. I would love to do a two person scene, but there aren't that many good back and forths I see. If you see any, or agree, or anything, give me a shout.

Actually maybe the Oedipus-Tiresias scene? Page 70 and 71?
