It’s been a couple days since I’ve made an entry in this blog. Like usual I’ve been busy.
It was wierd not having to get up and go to acting class on Sat. I found myself looking at the clock periodically for half the day saying, “I’d still be in class right now”. I miss everyone already. So instead of class on Sat, Heather and I went to Home Depot to pickup more paint samples for the house exterior and also pickup a new water dispensor for our bottled water. As we left we passed by a hot dog stand and the smell was to good to resist so Heather and I shared a jumbo hotdog w/ saurkraut, mustard, and ketchup. For some reason this made me think of a country fair so I told Heather that we should go to the country fair in Indiana sometime. Turns out, the fair just started but it would be too expensive to fly last minute so we’ll wait to visit the country fair next year.
I also started training again with the trainer over the weekend. He totally killed my chest and arms. He pushed me through set after set using moderate weights and different exercises with very little rest in-between. At one point I thought I might hurl. Now that’s an intense workout, although the trainer said that I still need to kick it up another notch and handle more weight.
I recently put together a list of things I feel are the next steps to my development as an actor and my career. On the top of my list is conquering my hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) problem I sometimes have related to anxiety. Next, is the audition technique class (taught at the Joanne Baron/DW Brown studio) which I have already signed up for. Then I also need to practice emotional preparations which is very important since this will help set me apart from most of the competition. As for my “career” I’m going to start submitting myself to projects in Backstage West, Ross Reports, and start networking more. Then I need to start trying to MAKE MY OWN MOVIE!
You need to check with your trainer and make sure that he is on the same page as you for your goals in weight lifting. I don’t think hurling constitutes as great workout *chuckle*. Its more like over doing it. you want the burn, just not hte injury or malhealth.
