I have been fighting some sort of cold or flu or I don't know what for about a week now..maybe two. I thought I was winning for the most part but I've had a terrible lack of appetite, tired and generally feeling run down. Some of that has to do with a previous post I made because it is just kind of heart breaking but there is definitely some virus or something trying to make a home in my body right now. Past two mornings I've woken up covered in sweat and am having major issues focusing. Yesterday I didn't blog because I fell asleep at around 8. I keep on having toast for two meals a day because I don't have much of an appetite which is great for my waistline but probably not so great for everything else.
I was so sick when I got up this morning that I didn't even think I could make it through the weekend let alone a day. I did make it through and I'm blogging like a good girl but I can only image how awful I'm going to feel tomorrow. Everyone reading this cross your fingers that I'm going to feel better.
Today I had an audition for a company that I think would be great to work with. It is a production that not only pays but would give me credit towards being in Equity which would be super awesome. I was so weak this afternoon though that I thought I was going to fall on my face when I walked in the room because standing seemed to be difficult because I was just so out of it. I made buddies with the moderator, made it very clear I wasn't feeling well in case his opinion mattered in anyway and went into the room and did my best. In a kind of interesting mess up I was given the wrong sides. I did really not very good at the side I prepared and kicked ass at the one that was handed to me minutes before going in to the room. I also was required to sing some opera a capella which sounded fucking fantastic in that tiny ass room and I think I detected a look of joyful shock. Even though I felt crappy the audition went really well. I'm not sure I have ever felt that welcomed and had them look so intensely at me. Intense in a good way though, as if they were carefully evaluating me instead of what has become the norm of just... oh god... another person.. scribble, scribble, judge, move on. I have no idea if this is something I will get a call back on but I feel good for going out and auditioning for new people.
Going along with being sick I was really sad that tonight was the night that Hans and I had tickets for "How To Train Your Dragon" at the Honda Center. I was scared I wasn't going to make it through or I was just going to be flat out miserable. I managed to pull myself together and we had a good time. We also went with JJ and Annette whom I am incredibly fond of. The Living Social deal that we all purchased was also a great deal. Not only did we get the tickets for a good price but we got a voucher for a soda, a light up medallion and a souvenier mug. We ended up checking to see how much the mug was at one of the kiosks and it was $15.00 so it was a pretty damn good deal. The seats were a little high up but I can't possibly see how that was actually bad. We had a great time. The show itself was a tad slow simply because it is difficult to work around moving giant dragons on and off stage so sometimes there were filler dialogue and action that was a little boring. Those dragons are pretty fucking cool though. Plus there are a lot of other technical elements that are well executed. There was on part that was very much like a human being in a video game world. I thought it was completely unnecessary but it was a way to show off some cool graphics. I think it is worth a look just to see the dragons.
The arena did allow you to take photos of the show but mine didn't turn out to great... but it is photo a day.. here are the ones I took:

All in all the day went well. Plus Scout is back home. Things are complete. Now I'm going to jump into bed and hopefully have a wonderfully restful sleep. I just want to wake up tomorrow and feel better so I can nail my Neverwhere audition. Actually the audition can go crappy if that means I am suddenly in super good health. I think I would make that trade.
