12/08/2005: "Niece, Hawk, and Slice"

music: None
mood: What mood?

This just in....I have the cutest niece ever. At 2, she's running around, laughing and talking. Everything is funny to her and her spanish is coming along too. I'm impressed that she remembers being at my parents house from a year ago. Amazing little mind, and very silly. Westly all of 5 months was asleep when I arrived, so I didn't get to see him, but hopefullly I will get a chance tonight to visit with him. So many stories, and not enough time to share them. Needless to say though, all very entertaining. I like them better when they can talk, and she's a TRUE greenwood in that respect.

Saw a beautiful and HUGE hawk on my way to work yesterday morning. I stopped the car to look at him sitting on a telephone pole checking out the view of the entire silicon valley. Must be pretty cool to be a bird. He checked me out, I think he like my yellow car, and I had a moment of wonder as I pondered how many people would see, and even care about this creature. I'm sre there are plenty of people who would drive right by. It's second nature for me really. I grew up in nature I guess and that plays a part but...well...anyway..not sure where I am going with that...

Auditions, Callbacks, and Casting for Pear slices in one foul swoop. I passed up audtitions for two shows I really wanted to be in because of work load, but broek down and made an appointment to Audition since I have to do boxoffice and house managment for them anyway. Great group of actors, and the ensemble was chosen. We have a table reading of the 8 short locally written pieces which the sides for were really great on Monday....I will find out which parts I am (2-4 characters) then...I look at it as a good tool to structure my time, a new social outlet, a great opportunity to work with writers and, $200 stipend..my biggest acting gig yet...Mark your calendars for opening night....February 10th.
