It's hot in the desert

I just spent the weekend in the desert where my buddy lives. Holy hot! Why do people live there? It is interesting and almost otherworldly how water is used to appeal to people. By that I mean restaurants, apartment complexes, golf courses, malls, etc. put water features outside their establishments to lure people. Oddly enough, I found it enticing even though I was completely aware of their intentions and also not in dire need of water myself. It's just a symbol of comfort and wealth in the desert I guess. This may have nothing to do with the desert but while washing my car tonight, I noticed that the seal around my rear windshield was coming up in one corner. It seems odd that would just happen for no apparent reason. So, tomorrow I must have it repaired.

My first acting class with Lesly met for the final time last Wednesday. It was a great group. I really enjoyed the daily rehearsals, as they were excellent exercise. We're having a BBQ this week to get further acquainted outside the acting biz, but also to lay the groundwork for maintaining the connections we established together beyond this month. I'm continuing my training next month, but will have a different instructor. I've got to do a mass agent mailing. That'll be in the works for this week. Last week, I ran the camera in a casting session. That was an incredible learning experience. Note to self and actors everywhere: DO YOUR HOMEWORK! Work that script over and squeeze every drop of info out of it. If you slack off, it'll show in your reading. Be a pro.
