I used to pray for a nothing day...

....be careful what you wish for. Today was terrible. The only prospect I could get was an audition for a science game show. I had to print out the application and bring it into Manhattan. At the actual audition, I'd have to take *AND PASS* a science quiz to earn the opportunity of meeting with the casting director. I would not have passed. I don't even own a printer... so I saved 20 bucks (LIRR round trip) and stayed on the island today. Which was excruciating. After years of working 2 jobs 7 days a week, taking a full class load while simultaneously completing internships...I've often yearned for a relaxed day without anywhere I needed to be and nothing I had to do. I thought it would be rejuvenating and refreshing...... but it was horrendously empty. I slept late, pissed around on the computer for 2 hours, went to the gym, filled up on gas, went to the grocery store, and walked around a lake... I have to duck my landlord during the afternoons because she doesn't know I'm unemployed. She doesn't need to know everything :-).... Anyway, tonight on Craigslist there was a new post about the filming of a TV show in Stamford, CT... 25 dollars for the day (11:30 a.m. call time, should go on for 8 hours.) I have to dress as a "yuppie-business" type (which beats the hell out of the listing for 'Coney Island hookers'). It's just over an hour away so I have to leave here at around 9. I am so relieved to have some place productive to go! Also, I will get the reimbersement for the gas!!!! (25 bucks.) Which would make this, essentially, my first paying gig!!! (except for a kiddie commercial that my whole acting school got to do when I was 9, for which we each earned 1 dollar.) Anyway, it will be leisurely to DRIVE to an event for once and not have to take dirty, stinky NY Public Transportation. Wow, a whole different state... it'll be like a mini vacation. I'm supposed to go to the carnival with my landlord tomorrow evening :-/ dont think I'll make it. Daaarn.

I could post a pic for today of me in PJ pants at 1 p.m. eating peanutbutter with my finger and posting pointless pics on facebook.......but that hardly seems necessary.
