In which I continue to spin around
Anyway, in one month I'm going to New York. I don't know why I'm so spun-up about it, because I've been to New York one million of times, but I'm extra-keyed-up now. Probably because I haven't acted in several years, and I'm not totally 100% certain of how, you know, to memorize my lines. I assume that is still required.
Also, I'm all spun-up about frivolous things, like what style of hair-do I will have for this film, and whatnot. The film is an homage to the great Christian scare films of the 1970s, and I'm playing The Part I Was Born To Play, that of a Lesbian witch. ("A," not "the." I believe there are a number of us.) Woo-hoo! In other words, my nice Episcopalian mother will finally have something to brag about to her friends.
I am preparing for this role with lots of professional acting techniques: listening to music, dancing around, wearing eyeliner, staring. I assume these are things Johnny Depp also does to prepare for movie roles.
I welcome any and all acting-preparation technique suggestions from well-wishers. Also: footwear suggestions.
In other news, the Keelhauler has decided that his new dream is to gain access to Clipperton Island, where he will "cut through the coral, build a small lock chamber, dredge an entrance to the lagoon, and provide shelter for anchoring yachts, then solar power, and create a reachable Bermuda-like Eastern Pacific destination. Plus, Island Brewing beer!" This plan seems very Dr. No to me. Could I have my own supervillain in the making? How fantastic!
