Okay, this is getting ridiculous. Last night G-man went to bed at ¼ to 11. I was not too too sleepy so I caught up on a little trash TV (Big Brother and Canadian Idol – I had to see if my boy Aaron was still in the mix!) so I stayed up until 11:30. I went to bed and G-man asked if I set the alarm. I said yes, for 7:15. He says “But I need to be at work for 7:30. Can you set if for 6?” Jesus Christ I’m doomed to wake up at least an hour before I have to get up! It’s just not fair!!
So 6am this morning, I’m pretty wide awake as G is bustling about doing his getting ready for work dance. I remember that I need to get him to sign as a witness on a form for my dad. So I get up and put it on the kitchen table for him. I go back to bed and once again try in vain to fall back asleep. Then I remember our Landlord called wanting more rent cheques. For the past year the cheques have just come out of my account and G-man just settles with me. We’ve discussed having them come out of our joint account, so I wait until the next time G comes into the room to get something and I mention this to him. Chit chit chat and I’m pretty awake at this point. Twenty minutes later and G leaves saying goodbye and giving me a kiss goodbye. I toss and turn and try and visualize my white sheet on a clothesline image (I tried a big blank white space but it seems to work better for me to actually use this imagine of a blowing white sheet hanging off a clotheslines …who knows). Low and behold this actually works so when the alarm goes off at 7:15 it wakes me up.
Sigh….

Last night, G-man and I got to be the voices in a new Podcast that two of our friends have come up with. I don’t know much about this new fad sweeping the internet but from what I understand it’s like an old radio dramas (or comedy, depending). The neat thing about it is that it was the first time G and I actually got to act together. In the 13 years that we’ve known each other, we’ve never acted in anything together.

It’s been a while since I had to “act” and even though it was only an 8 or 10 minute piece, I had to consider intention, motivation, and all that fun acting shtick. I miss it. I wish I didn’t have to go through the audition process in order to land acting work. It’s such a pain in the ass to have a flexible work schedule keeping yourself easily available for auditions at a moments notice. And getting geared up, nervous and prepared for a 2 minute snippet of time is quite exhausting. It don’t miss auditioning one bit…but I do miss the work.
