funny bone

So the life of an actor is never predictable, always one surprise after another.

This morning I paid to get roughed up (Boxing class, you perv.)

I’m SO busy.  (No spin class for the Columbus holiday yesterday, and working last night’s pizza off, so I won’t go on my normal day tomorrow…)

Then I get big news:  my scene partner from class called to say he got a hefty audition and we’d have to reschedule our rehearsal on our Vanilla Sky scene tonight.
Yeah, it’s his big news.
Fine, whatev, he feels like he owes me one, but honestly (and you know exactly what I mean), after I hung up I pumped a big “yesss!” with the whole fist thing like Jerry Maquire or some ’80s movie.

Owww… then I went straight for the Tiger Balm again.

But I was really glad, cuz our class scene is dramatic and intense and life is intense enough and I just didn’t feel like acting tonight, much less in my living room. And I’m really not anxious to get back to class so soon after my headlines…

my life's a hazard zone

…unfortunately, I’m prepaid for the month, no refunds. It’s really sucky that life and this class have the same policy:

no do-overs.

So I celebrated my new freedom by getting back in bed and clicking Season 2 of Felicity back on — pretty much the least lively way to spend an afternoon— but it was acting study! This is my WORK! Kinda.

Speaking of work, then I had to take a hot shower in hopes of relaxing the back muscle I must’ve pulled right at the start of boxing class today…

Not to worry, actors are a tough bunch, I worked through the pain in order to get my full 1 hour workout (also no refunds), even though I might wake up tomorrow totally debilitated (the Felicity marathon continues all week thanks to DVD.)

But since my body is my instrument, my workspace actually, I’m hoping my post boxing cracking saved me from total dysfunction.
Dr. Ken Gee Chiropractic did a real number on me after class today.
(See? Suspense and everything.)
Then he handed me his new business card (where he’s dressed up like a Buddha or something?) and I went on my merry way to recount it all for you here… and that’s all before lunch!

Uh-huh, being an L.A. actress lends for a real wild ride…
