Hey, HEY! A Motorcycle rental business! I finally found one here in the city! So awesome! I just emailed them asking if they have any 250s, as I would be more comfortable with a smaller engine. Right now it seems as if the smallest bike they have is a 650. Look at all those beautiful BMWs! The best bike on the market! And they have one Harley which actually looks tasteful and not ridiculously Hell's Angels-ish.

Ore, Wednesday Night
May. 21st, 2009 02:12 pmWe had a nice big house last night, packed with friends, including Michael, Tesse, Lori, Patricia, Paul and Tony. They weren't really guffawing but they were really into it--at the end of the hospital scene when the big "event" happens, I heard a gasp and someone else made a sound. And during the Xmas party at the big reveal, there was another gasp. AWESOME.
Patricia was so incredibly sweet afterward. She was saying some really nice things about how much she enjoyed how I played the part, how perfect she thought I was for it. (She said the girl in the reading last November was beautiful but you could tell she was not a model--she said it was obvious I had modeled. It's all about the popped joints and wrists, baby!) It turns out she knows Calvin (they both went to Oberlin) and of course she already knew Shawn from Thyme. I haven't seen Patricia much at all since Prince Trevor, I really miss her. I asked Duncan to write us a show where we can act together again--I said "like Sideshow!" Because we look exactly alike! Anyway I just love her, she makes being in a show a special thing because she's always so positive and fun, and I want to do another one with her soon.
Interestingly I think last night's show was a little distracted for me, and I usually give better performances when people I know are in the audience. I think it was a two-days-off thing. Some scenes were the best they've ever been (the hospital scene with Calvin, the picnic), some were a little off (the tete-a-tete with Sean at the end of the picnic scene). The hospital scene went very well indeed, especially toward the end--I allowed myself to...get what was going on, and react to it dynamically, and start to...push it a little.
Afterward when Duncan, Lori and I were talking, I asked Duncan if he'd based Tara on me (something I've always suspected, which makes playing this character weird--I feel sometimes as though I'm playing myself, like I'm being and not acting). Duncan said not exactly, but he'd used some things I'd said ("summer is my favorite time of year" and the stuff I throw at Calvin in the hospital scene, plus the whole blonde fetish thing) and had always intended for me to play the part. This sounds about right. Tara is more of a spiritual dilettante than I am, and less conventional. Although I've quite enjoyed learning about yoga--my flexibility really HAS been improving. I can actually grab my toes now. Go, me!
