Callback: Verizon @ ASG

I just had a feeling about the original audition and expected the callback. I suppose I should do that every time. The callback seemed to go just fine. It's hard to tell. The only redirection my "wife" and I got was that the expression should be more awe and less fear. We "wow"ed a few times and got out of there. I'm going to the chiropractor today for a much needed adjustment, and we've got a hospital tour tonight. This is our chance to ask for directions.

Audition: Verizon 2 @ ASG

This is the 2nd time in the last couple of weeks I've been to this particular office, which is conveniently located near our apartment. Sometimes, when sides are posted online, the notice I receive will mention it, and sometimes the notice does not. I always check to see if sides have been posted. There were very recent Verizon sides from this office, so I prepared with them. However, upon signing in, I saw that that the sides I worked on were not connected to the spot I was actually auditioning for. No problem though, because the new sides consisted of "Wow." In the room, we did the "wow" several different ways. I played with the delivery a little in my tail slate too, which seemed funny to everyone else. It's weird. Sometimes little stuff like that gets you the callback, or it could just tick people off. I think I have a pretty good ability to read the situation and know the difference.

For LIFE - We've been accomplishing more tasks to prepare baby space. We painted a couple of small sets of drawers and received a Bulldogs stroller my mom got for us. Last night, we attended a meet-and-greet of local Georgia alumni. It was nice to chat with people outside the frequently intense setting of game-watching.

Slow and Fast

Some things have been a little slow lately. Other things are moving along quickly. We're only 6 weeks away from having a baby girl in the house. We haven't settled on a name for her. Or we have, but we've misplaced it for the moment. We've been building cribs, moving furniture, obtaining furniture (a real table!), going to childbirth classes, yoga classes and reading "The Little Prince". We've been reading baby product guides and poring through the baby universe of the internet. My shower door has a stripped screw. The painters fixed our walls. We almost had a melt down of exhaustion at Lowe's and/or Outback. We had dinner at our very own table tonight with real chairs like big boys and girls. I'm working more at my day job at the moment, while getting things rolling with my reel and trying to redesign all the promo materials I lost in the hard drive crash of 2007. My reel can be found HERE. We got our taxes out to the accountants, and now we pray that the evil regular tax and the superevil Alternative Minimum Tax don't kick us in the face. It's a short spring training before the regular season, which will last us the next 20-30 years. We're excited, awed and unprepared in the best possible way for it all.

Audition & Callback: Numb3rs @ Mark Saks

I got a call out of the blue yesterday to go in for Numb3rs today. This was my first time back in the office this season, and with today's results, I'm 3 for 3 with callbacks. I was reading for two FBI agent roles, one of which I suspected would end up being a different type. That was confirmed in the room. I read for the other role a couple of times, and got the callback appointment for later in the afternoon. The producers' session was smaller than previous times I've been there. My bit was short and sweet. Mark said after the reading, "Wasn't that worth the drive." I just said, "Absolutely, anytime."
