2009...WHEN I'LL BURN THIS PLACE DOWN TO THE GROUND

Do you ever get the feeling you're being watched?

It took a little while to delve into acting preparation today. The deathly hangover might have had something to do with it (I told myself birthday = drinking to the point of not being able to function without assistance). At the same time, I realize I'm still working on allowing myself to become fully immersed in activities that might make me look silly or weird. Don't get me wrong. I'll go for the laugh...but that's not always a good thing. So this class gives me the perfect opportunity to up that confidence level a bit. Dust off the old ego.

Would you look at the wonk on that guy.

It was good to explore words today. For instance, did you know "barf-around" was supposedly a slang term for "bad"? Um. No, 1950s acting exercise. I believe you are severely mistaken. Did you just mean barf? Because then that would be an acceptable term. Barf is never good.

I sometimes forget that words and phrases conjure certain obscure images in our minds that might not make sense to anyone else. Do you ever watch people think? It's interesting to imagine how their brain welcomes a word or phrase and then says "Come. Let's make the journey to your memory and we shall create a PowerPoint presentation of ideas so that you can select a clever and deliciously witty morsel that will be your response to this activity." I like being surrounded by these folks. They encourage me to fully utilize my brain.

So I implore you to keep shakin' what yo momma gave ya, classmates.
