Looking for a rock to crawl under
Jun. 23rd, 2010 04:12 pmI spent most of the weekend ill and recovering from being ill; I'm still not all there mentally and wish I could take the day off. But I'm slammed at work -- scheduled for more than I'm really supposed to be -- because so many other people are on vacation or out sick. I don't think they could lose me. The worst of it is that because I didn't get anything done over the weekend, I'm now overloaded with things to get done this week, and not really feeling up to it.
On the good side, I hung out at Tasnim's and one of her nephews gave me aloe juice to drink, which I hadn't tried before. It's nice, and less acidic than other juices. I also watched most of Koyaanisqatsi. I fell asleep at the end, not because I wasn't enjoying it, but because I was sick.
All the audion tapes for Hayseeds but one are in, which is hard because by this point I'm only looking at people I think would be good, and I'm going to have to tell most of them I've decided to go with someone else. A decision has not been made, but ultimately there is one position to be filled and many people who would do well with it.
I hate having to reject people at this stage of auditions. It's easier with writing, because I can say "there is a line and this is stuff that's above it." Last round of film auditions, I'm only looking at stuff above the line, and the performances I am rejecting will never happen -- it's not even like a play where there will be another chance at the role. I always feel especially bad about this because I don't think very many people are writing good parts for women in their 20s and 30s.
It's like having to break up with a lot of people all at once, complicated by many of them being your friends who you will see all the time after the breakup. Ah, well. There will be more films and more characters.
