Roller Coaster Monday
Wow ... what a day!! I am feeling emotionally drained.
On the way to work, I was talking with my dad who had just left his doctor's appointment. He told me they thought he had lung cancer. He's been seeing doctors most of this year, trying to find out why his optic nerve is swelling, and well as of today, they think this may be the cause. So I am flying back to Columbia, SC to be with my parents and help them out on Sunday.
About an hour after I got that news, my agent calls and tells me that I made it to callbacks for the Wells Fargo audition and that it was scheduled at 3:28pm. My head was spinning!
So I went to the callbacks, and this time the director and the producer entourage were there. They had brighter lights around and when the director was giving me directions, I could barely make him out, lol. Anyway, I have no idea how I did, but everyone that left the room of the audition made the same face ... including me. *shrug* It'd be nice to get it, but I really have no sense on how it went.
Now I have to get ready to leave for Columbia on Sunday ... got lots to do ...

First LA Audion
So my Commercial agent called me out of the blue yesterday to send me on an audition today for a Wells Fargo Bank commercial. I said I would have to check my schedule and would call her right back. I had to talk to my boss to see how crazy busy she thought we would be today and if it would be alright for me to go. She gave the go ahead and so I called my agent back and got the details.
This would be a lot of firsts for me so that made me kinda nervous. First audition in LA; first audition for my agent; first audtition in front of a camera; first audtion for a commercial ...
I took a commercial class last year that I learned so much from and the audition itself wasn't as nervewracking as the fact that I hate doing things for the first time. Not to mention that I hate my wardrobe and was overwhelmed just a little trying to figure out what to wear. But since I was told the age range was 24-29 and that I had to look as young as possible, I opted for a brown t-shirt with nice jeans.
When I got to work this morning, my boss surprised me and we left the office for an hour and she took me to Banana Republic. She bought me a brand new outfit as a birthday present for this audtion. And let me just say that she is a FABULOUS shopper!! I definitely have to bring her shopping with me again!!
Anyway, so I have on my fabulous new outfit and leave the office at 1:15ish to get over to the audition by 2:00ish. Got there before 2 and once I figured out where to sign in (there was a nintendo print audition going on too), I read what the audition entailed and signed in.
Thanks to my boss, I had the best looking outfit there! ;)
So, anyway, the audition had no lines. I had to "walk in" with grocery bags in my hands, take out a long receipt and put it under a "magnet on the fridge that already had lots of receipts under it". Then, just as I was starting to "put groceries away", "the magnet starts sliding down the fridge from the wait of all the receipts". So I "watched it, forcing it to stop with the power of my mind". "The magnet stops sliding" and then I "open the fridge door to put something away and when I close it, the magnet falls spilling all the receipts".
(There was no fridge or magnet ... everything in quotes I had to mime)
I was asked to do it twice and that was it! =) All my firsts were over and done with! =)
Callbacks are on Monday ... haven't heard anything yet ... but who knows. *shrug* I'm just happy to have gotten through my first LA audtion!! =)

POSEIDON
WOW
The special effects and the action are almost unbearable. I know I wasn't the only one to bring my hands up to my face more than once in watching this movie. The sad thing is ... no character development. =( When someone died, nobody really cared. And no time to really shed any tears for anyone. This movie is definitely a ride, but don't expect to get emotionally involved.
Can you see me? Yes you can. =) In the background of course. You can see me sitting at a table in the opening ballroom scene, but it's far and you have to know where to look. After the ship flips over, you can see me at least twice that I remember. Both in the lower right corner of the screen.
I had a blast working on this film, and made some good friends in the process, so this movie will always have a special place in my heart. As for the movie itself ... I'm sad that it's not as good as it could have been, but I'd say it's worth seeing in the theater just for the special effects...
Oh ... and I didn't see it on an IMAX screen ... we bought the wrong tickets.

Orientation
So I went to my SAG orientation today. Wow. Lots of info. Two and a half hours of nonstop information, and they ran out of time. They talked about everything from agents to pension plans and health care. I'm glad I finally made the leap to join SAG. Even though I'm working as a casting assistant full time for now, it's nice to know that when I jump back into trying to act full time, that I have the resources of a union.
On another note, I recieved a residuals check last week. My very first residuals! It was for The Skeleton Key when I had a dance contract. I had forgotten all about that and wasn't expecting them at all. The check after taxes was only about $44, but it was just cool to get one. =)
