I think we are still in Kansas, Toto.

Well that was largely uneventful. We had a little storm at my apartment yesterday which I hear tell had a hurricane connected to it. I had every intention of coming here today to relate a wonderfully hilarious story of my kite flying adventures. I spent all of $3 on a SpongeBob kite at Toys-R-Us and was ready to participate in the kite flying equivelant of fishing in Alaska: you pretty much just have to show up for it to work. That was my intention, but it didn’t end up happening. First of all, I slept through most of the storm. (I told you in was uneventful.) Second, my earlier calculations, while leaving room for cancelling due to lightning, had not taken into account the downward force of rain. Third, there was no where near my apartment that I could be assured of not hitting anything: no wide open spaces. Fourth, and last, I am absolutly certain that my $3 kite from Toys-R-Us was not designed with very high requirements and that simply blowing on it hard would bring about its ends. And I know that I said that was my last one, but also I was by myself it would have felt wierd to go kite flying by myself.

In other news, I baked cookies which people ate and enjoyed.

yep

My abilities to read directors’ actions like a book are quite amazing. My abilities to impress those directors with my skills are lacking in amazingness.

Henegar Center Director: 2
Jonathan: 0

To be abundantly clear, I was not cast in Forever Plaid. And for those who might have questioned my recent facial baldness, I was trying to look the part for auditions. But now that that is over, the beard is making a comeback….because I don’t like looking twelve.

without much hope

well I just finished the second night of auditions for “Forever Plaid”. The auditions happened two nights in a row for about two hours each night. They encourage people to come to both auditions so they can see people together. Anyway, I have a pretty good feeling that I was removed from the running early in the process. One might think that I am just being paranoid, but 15 minutes into the last audition I had with this director I correctly cast all but one of an 11 member cast. I fing out tomorrow regardless, but I would be very surprised. Oh well, that’s life.
