Command decision -- I'm only doing a half day today, that way I can nap or get something useful done before rehearsal There's no way I can put in eight useful hours certainly.

If I thought my hair looked bad last night, you should have seen it when I crawled out of bed this morning. It fought hard, but now that I've stood under the shower for thirty minutes, it's been vanquished.

I have the worst cramps.

Among last night's suckiness, the guy who had put foundation not at all the right color for him sloppily all over his face, was a creepy camera hog who never shut up and talked with really intense anger about why it wasn't happening for him in the business yet. "I mean I work, all the time...." and then he listed all the background he's done, but ALL HE DOES IS BACKGROUND, and he doesn't know why he's not a star yet. He also wants to be a conductor ("but I don't know how to make that happen" How about, STOP BEING A CREEPY ROBOT MAN FREAK, AND LISTEN TO PEOPLE'S ANSWERS WHEN YOU ASK THEM QUESTIONS!!!!!) and got into a really appalling argument with me about opera. All the PAs were exasperated as well... and what I want to know is why don't casting agencies keep a list of these people and share them... he's apparently a known problem lots of people have run into before... so what the fuck... do they hire the bastard to break our spirit or what? I'm thinking, yes.

My Amazon.com order has shipped. They say it will take 5 - 9 days, but it's in Delaware already, so I am optimistic this will not be the case. Which is good, because I'm burning a hole in all my other movie soundtracks (how I'd managed to forget quite how devastating the Gangs of New York soundtrack is... certainly... I'd never listened to the words of the U2 song before, and all they have to say is "it's early Fall" and you just know. Also Unconstant Lover is the greatest thing), and need more, need more.

Today's BPAL scent: The Hesperides again, which is still my favourite even if it smells awful in the bottle. I've still not tried Red Devil or Snake Oil, because they are clearly heavy scents, and one needs an occassion, and I am a very occassion free sort of woman these days.

Rereading Mists of Avalon. While I know this was a formative book for me, I've not actually read it in like a decade, and as such I'm being like "oh... so that's where I got that. Hrr." about pretty much all of it. It's actually a little freaky.
