how lame am i?

[rm]

I often speak of my tendancies towards procrastination, and certainly, those close to me have seen it in action often, but for those of you not in the know, I should be learning my lines, but instead, thanks to a series of unfortunate google events, I just spent the last 30 minutes trying to figure out how to pronounce the Welsh word for frankincense. This is an embarassing enough mental defect on my part without the next little extra piece of data.

It's only one damn syllable.

I think.


Okay, stepping away from the computer.

Also, cannot find my lousy CSI check, and am cranky. And let's not even talk about the big honking bruise I managed to give myself on my breastbone.

Email her, darn it.. what have you got to lose? You *might* actually find out what you need to know.

So.. are we related or what? I guess we don't have to be to have the same tendencies toward procrastination. But it's uncanny. I have a monologue to learn for class and here I am typing a reply to your journal. However, I'm with Irish-rose25 in thinking that your journal is very entertaining. I love L.A., but man I'd dig NYC too. I just watched "You've Got Mail" for the fifth or sixth time and once again found myself lamenting the fact that we just don't have neighborhoods such as the one depicted in the film.

Our "neighborhood" here in Huntington Beach (right off the 405 freeway) consists of a Tommy's Burgers, Starbucks, Boomer's (miniature golf and arcade), some sort of game store (electronic playstation type of crap, not board games) and a dry cleaner. Across from that is a Winchell's donuts, a Barber shop (that IS a rarity.. it's not a salon, it's an actual eight chair barbershop with a striped pole out front), a chinese restaurant, pizzeria (that Dorian and I don't go to because they overcharged our card one time and although it was refunded, the Manager didn't even apologize), a small discount department store and a Sav-on drugs. On every corner is a gas station and there are about five bicycle shops in the area for God knows what reason.

It's all very impersonal and although downtown Huntington Beach is nice it's about a five mile drive from our apartment. No one takes the bus here, you MUST drive. Unless you're a patron of one of the bicycle stores in which case you ride your bike to the beach which is considered to be very environmentally conscious and of a great benefit to ones health. At least that's what I think of bike riders as I zoom by them in my car.

Of course you know Kate Monster here on LJ.. she lives in SF and I've hung out there many times over the years and I love the various neighborhoods and enclaves although poor Kate and "DA ANDROID" aren't in a very good neighborhood right now. But her's is another journal I read for the flavor of an Actor working in San Francisco, as much as I love the flavor of New York that you give to yours. Soon I hope to be auditioning in L.A. again (just want to complete this one class I'm taking at the moment) and I'll be posting more about the biz here. It's amazing how different it is and yet so much the same in certain ways.

Thanks for your prolific postings. You DO have an audience, Rach!
