rmJury Duty is over.
I just turned down 3 days of non-union background work with no chance of an upgrade because I just wasn't in the mood. I feel guilty, but I know this is part of the new strategy.
Dear Pax Foods,
I am wearing a cute sexy blouse and pig tails. Do not call me sir. it makes you look stupid.
Dear 7-11,
Thank you for being in NYC and giving me a weird opportunity to be nostalgic about Australia of all things. But all your crappy American candy made me sad.
Why was Snape's old potions book floating around that classroom for Harry to wind up with? I certainly kept all my textbooks throughout my education (in fact, I hated my two years at public school because books had to be returned at the end of the course), only weeding them out recently, and I'm less of an intellectual freak than the dude -- and I didn't write copious notes on original work in my books either -- so what gives? Why just abandon it? Was it all in his head and he just wrote the shit down for Lily? We know the book was published 50 years before Harry gets his hands on it... was it an old onelying around the classroom when Snape was a student -- that is, was it a loaner given to him because of his meagre means?
I don't know why I care, but, help?

Re: you might hate these questions, but please humor me
Date: 2005-08-05 01:12 am (UTC)I would never live in LA without a SAG card, and I'm fairly confident I would never move out there without having good reason to (either a role, regular auditions out there, an agent really wanting topush me out there, or a partner there). But yeah, I would if I needed to -- there's very little I wouldn't do if I needed to. And it is closer to Sydney, and I think about that a lot.
Finally, I don't think anyone gets famous anywhere anymore. Not in America. I think Hollywood churns out hot young things like a pre-scandal puppymill and the New York star machine has always been about a type of musical theatre that doesn't exist anymore. No one erupts out of nothing in this town, because it's a small place, and you see people as they come up. Surprises come from abroad, and increasingly so do stars -- because in other places Hollywood and American stardom are still a mythology of hope as opposed to a reality show expectation.
