I'm fish-sitting. They're funny, these fish. They're pretty greedy, but I know I'm not supposed to give them too much food. And I read that the Angelfish tend to "beg" quite a bit. I can say that I've witnessed that very behavior: they swim to the top, looking at the surface of the water hopefully. (You wouldn't think fish could be so expressive.) I think the other fish have picked up this habit now, too. A bad influence, those Angelfish.

Today's the day of my audition to be a teaching artist in Korea. I'm not really that nervous; right now, at least. I may be, just before I go in, or just before I do my monologue. But I've had so many auditions in my time as an actor that my "let it go" skills are quite strong. Don't get me wrong: I sincerely hope they accept me. I've been itching to teach again, and getting to do so in Asia would be an awesome adventure. But I'm pretty relaxed about the whole thing. If there's someone better suited to the job than I am, so be it. I'll be glad they had top-knotch talent to choose from. (I also think that my lack of nervousness is because I have other things to be excited about should I not get the opportunity to teach in Korea. And, no, I can't tell you anything about it. Sorry.)

So, I'm taking the morning to relax and enjoy not having to be at work at 7am. I put some music on, I'm drinking coffee, and I'm catching up on my writing (can you believe it?). I think it's time to eat something now, too.

Wish me luck!
