Today was a Monday. Do I need to say more? I honesty tried to go to sleep at a decent time last night but that was a fail. No, running over your lines does not stop the tossing and turning.
The first portion of the day was weird. It started weird and just felt very tensed. I really could have used this new found understanding of Meisner when Lindsey and I were doing a scene from A Streetcar Named Desire. I really hate all of this though. It makes so much sense but it's so complicated! With Holofernes, especially. When reading through the script, it's easy to overact and present Holofernes as a 2D character. That is all he is to me right now. I'm thinking about all the characterization and research I have to do and it's seriously hurting my head. I'm afraid I won't be able to do this character justice.
I'm really sad that we didn't make it through the end of the play this afternoon. People! What's wrong with us? Let's do better tomorrow.
My computer deleted all of my favorite songs off of my ipod so I spent a good while recovering more than 30 songs yesterday. Woo. It was worth it. (:
Song to wake everyone up for tomorrow:
Radar Detector -- Darwin Deez

Think about what he said, but don't let it be your complete and total concept on acting. You should ease into the role. Start in 3d, acting more normal than crazy, and then shift to crazy. You can make your character seem completely out of this world, but also relateable.
