I didn’t think it could get any more uncomfortable and boy was I wrong. Not only was it uncomfortable but it was very emotional. Given that, it was a great day in class.

That is a quote from today’s class (4th day of class). Not only did I learn that quote but also experienced it. Earlier in the day (Monday that is) my partner and I met up and did 2 hours of work for our class (our homework if you can call it that). We did good, made some progress, learned things about ourselves and in general had a positive experience. Once we got into class, things change.

Woke up Tuesday feeling blue and somewhat depressed. I have my first acting class today and I don’t know what to expect. I’m nervous about it and also starting to wonder what the hell am I doing in LA and doing this all for. I don’t know anyone here, don’t know the rules or secrets and don’t know the area. I thought about when I was a kid and my parents dropped me off at soccer camp and left. That feeling of abandonment and fear. Not knowing what to do, when to do it, how to do it and just plain lonely. Guess I’m feeling like I’m instead at Acting Camp now.

Some of you may know or may not know that currently I am in Los Angeles and not San Francisco. I am in LA for 5 weeks and down here for an acting class at The Meisner Center. Although I am down here, I will be working a few days remotely for my engineering job back in SF. Have to keep the money coming in some way!

I just got home from finishing my 2nd and last day of shooting for the movie “My Grief is my Own”. I’m tired and need to get to bed so I will post my information later after I get some sleep. I hope to have some pictures posted soon and will let you know when I do.
Today was the first day of shooting for the movie “My Grief is my Own” which I was an extra for. I had to wake up at 6am and be on set at 8:30am. Since the set was located at a warehouse in Oakland, I needed to get up early, get extra clothes rounded up and take BART over there. I don’t even get up this early for my day job and boy could I tell this morning. Having to wake up at 6am on a Saturday morning is not only unnatural but just plain wrong.

I landed a “extra” role in a small independent movie being filmed here in San Francisco. The movie is titled, “My Grief is my Own” and is being produced by A & I Pictures. I have a meeting to attend tomorrow (Wednesday) in order to go over what I need to wear, look like, where the shoot will take place and other such things. I’m hoping I’ll have some speaking parts but I’m not going to be holding my breath. Just good to get the experience and back in the saddle again. The shoot is planned for this weekend, other than that, I don’t know anything else.
