I'm all signed up for a class in commercial acting with Carolyne Barry. I audited the class last night and it seems like she's got good insight and a direct approach, which I like. The students did their spots on camera, received direction from her and did them a few times more. After that, they all traded spots and were getting ready to do it all again when I had to leave. It will be very instructive for me to do a class on-camera. The last time I did that was several years ago. My class starts May 1. This one will require a little less time outside of class than my current situation, and I plan to reinvest that time into theatrical agent/manager submissions.
Last night was a friend's birthday. I met him and another guy at a bar between Los Feliz and Hollywood. The place was a little froo-froo for my taste. I prefer a more relaxed, unstylish atmosphere I think. But hey, the beer tastes the same, and I hadn't had one in a while.
My wife has become enamored with Pilates and is currently training to be an instructor. We all know what that means. Yes, I've been in a Pilates class for the last three Saturdays. It's actually enjoyable. The exercises are an efficient brand of brutal. I'll probably keep going as my schedule allows. I've had a bunch of driving students in the last few weeks. It's nice to have a part-time thing that brings in somewhat steady money, but doesn't suck out my soul. I know servers here can make great money at many places, but at what cost? I haven't done a catering job since before Christmas. I'll probably keep that in my back pocket for the lean times.

Tell me about it! Every time I go to a restaurant, I can't help but think how glad I am that I'm not waiting tables anymore!! Been working full time though, and haven't been able to throw any time into acting, but I have been able to save up money to invest into acting once I have some down time. That class you're taking sounds awesome!
