Take a nap, Ambah.

I have an audition and an interview on Monday. I'm feeling so optimistic about life. Must be the exhaustion.

Yes, when your body becomes whoozy everything seems all fine and dandy. Nonetheless, good luck on both your endeavors, Rath.


I finished watching Wonderfalls today, and the finale was quite intense. (I'd recommend the show for anyone who enjoys dark, yet humorous, obscure televsion series). My favorite line, well one of them:
"But you just called me delicious. How can you say no to delicious?"

Blockbuster didn't have Soldier's Girl so I may just have to order it from Amazon.com.

Well, I'm at school for my 5pm call...we got back from the fieldtrip a little early. I'm like the living dead (yes, Stagey), but I'm hyper, too.

I have half an hour before I even have to think about getting out makeup. Thank God. I am so tired.


I hope everyone is having a wonderful day! I saw Beowulf...very good, great score.

Thanks, Rath.

I know it's a crime to even mention nude photos, but ooooh my God... Jack Mackenroth looks GOOD!

I'd call him Daddy.

PM, I could tell you SO many stories about Soldier's Girl. I knew Calpernia Addams. I knew her when she was the still the guy who worked the lights at the club. I was at the club the night Barry died. Calpernia won her first pageant that night. We found out he had been killed the next day. What a crazy time those next few weeks were.

That would be really helpful, actually.

I know the film is based on their relationship, and that Lee Pace plays Calpernia. But I don't know much other than that, except from the reviews I've read (which all seem to be positive).

I'm home!


What. A. Show.

The film is decent and it tells the story in a more romanticized manner, of course. Lee Pace was excellent in the role. Barry was stationed at Ft. Campbell, which is attatched to my hometown. My girlfriend and I were watching TV the next day and were just SHOCKED to see Calpernia on the news. It was really hard to deal with a hate crime so close to home. The club was actually called Connection, though in the film it's called Visions or something. We only had one gay bar in my town and it was tiny, so we always went to Nashville to Connection. It was like a second home and the performers there were really first rate. It was one of those clubs with three bars, a theatre, a restaurant and a gift shop. It was huge and reminded me of Babylon on QAF. In the film, they basically just show it as a show bar. We did have to deal with a lot of soldiers, but they were usually just there to hit on lesbians. Calpernia was working lights and sometimes she could do a guest performance and man was she dreadful. They eventually made her a regular cast member and she really grew on all of us because she was just so nice. I will never forget the night she walked on stage with real implants. The place was silent. I gave up the club just before she left town. She moved to Cali and had SRS. She's on TV from time to time in indie gay movies. She was in Transamerica. She also plays the violin like a dream. It was usually her talent in pageants.

Thanks so much, JerseyGirl2!

It definitely helps to know a backstory on the film (especially from someone who was there!). While reading what you wrote, as well as reviews, I couldn't help but think of Sherry Johnson in The Laramie Project, at the end of her monologue, she says "A hate crime is a hate crime. You murder somebody because you hate 'em. It has nothing to do with if you're gay, or a prostitute, or whatever." It's unfortunate that Barry had to be killed out of hate. (Also, in a way, it reminds me of the film Torch Song Trilogy except that was based on a play...but it still dealt with a hate crime merely based on who the victim chose to love).


DGG, I'm glad to hear your show was good.

No, but I'm an optomist at heart, especially when it comes to performing. :) (We had some real doozies during the run of Snoopy...)

Yeah, we can call them doozies...


Goodnight, lovies!

Look at it this way, my darling DGG - you got through the performance, and tomorrow night will be another opportunity.

[StageManager2]

Guys, it was a performance, not a trek through the Sahara.

It's been one of those evenings. Sorry, just need to let this out.

AGGGGGGGGGGGGGGH.
