So yesterday I was sitting in my house working on my lines for Junction City, and I thought it might be an okay idea to develop a character. I don't always, you know. That doesn't seem to make sense, but since I act full out from the first rehearsal, sometimes I don't have to figure out exactly who the character is. But with this one, it's such an odd role in such an odd play that I ended up really working out the whole thing.

Explaining it without wrecking the show for anyone out there who might see it (one can dream) I play a woman who says that she has radar inside her, and she is fixated on this one guy whom she really really wants to have sex with, and I decided that everything she says is the truth--nothing is just a line to get the guy, and it really raised the stakes.

So I went to rehearsal, and was really different than I had been before (and yes, I knew all of my lines, thank you) and yelled one of my lines at another actress who was trying to keep me away from The Guy, and she was so thrown that she just stopped.

And Cynthia, during notes said:
"You know, guys, you can't be surprised if one of the other actors starts acting at you. That sort of thing happens in a play!"

Afterwards I was gonna see Cynthia's show, but decided to see it tomorrow instead, and toddled off to the movies. I saw Austin Powers, International Man of Mystery, which was just swell. A few too many scatological jokes, but other than that it was a scream.

When I was dating Greg, he was a mod (he still is, but not to such an extent) so I got all of the jokes, and it was a fun trip back in time in my own personal history. Dig the music, too.

I have always like Elizabeth Hurley, but I've always thought of her as this goddess type, and in this movie she reveals herself to have sticky-out ears! She's very sweet and goofy in the film, but it's the fact that her ears are like open car doors that makes her so endearing.

I forgot to say the other day when I was talking about sitting for Katie and Molly, that when I got to Cynthia's house, her ex-husband, and Katie's dad, was there.

Jon's a really great guy. His marriage to Cynthia was clearly not perfection incarnate (the divorce was the big giveaway on that one), but he's the world's greatest ex-husband. And he loves Molly and will often take her when he's taking care of Katie if Cynthia needs a break. But anyway, he calls her "Moo", and when he was leaving he said to her "Bye Molly Moo, I'm leaving but Kymmie Koo will be staying with you!"

And I said "I do not accept that nickname!"

When I was at Bloomies the other day, I was sort of wandering around looking for the men's underwear department (love those sleeveless undershirts) and I happened to run into the Giant Wall of Pantyhose. And there were these signs saying:

"Sale! $45!"

Now I'm no expert on the subject, but what kind of maniac would pay $45 for a pair of pantyhose? Pantyhose rips in ten seconds! Anyone who has ever worn the same pair of pantyhose three times (besides my mother) should be carved into Mount Rushmore.
