This and That
Sep. 10th, 2012 01:58 pmLots of soccer this weekend--two games Saturday and one yesterday. I had very little downtime between the two on Saturday so I was pretty much exhausted for the second game (I even napped on my way to the field). But I killed it in the first one--of our team's four goals scored, I scored two of them! One of the guys on the other team said admiringly "player of the game!" (This was during a very windy game--and the wind was against us, and we had these ridic tiny popup goals.) And the best sign was that the guys consistently passed it to me. YAY MY BALL SKILLZ ARE IMPROVING. SO HAPPY. The clinics I took have *really* helped my game. I got to the game yesterday a bit late (fuck the MTA, haaaaaaate, I waited TWELVE MINUTES for a train) so I had to sit out the first part. When they put me in, it was at halfback--normally I play forward but I can play back if necessary. It was fun actually, it's nice getting a break from constantly trying to score--sometimes it's nice to cockblock them for a change. Again, one of the opposing players was very complimentary, telling me "you have got this section SECURED, man!" Afterward we all went for a beer.
My Dolphman season is starting up again--first game is this coming Sunday. This may be my last season with them--I've had a lot of fun but it really does irritate me that we don't play as a team. We could do so much better--we could and should support each other so much more, by passing and supporting. We shall see.
We had auditions for Rocky Horror--it's mostly cast but we're still looking for a Brad (we have a candidate coming in on Wednesday to sing). Several returnees, including Stephen (tho' not as the narrator--he's ensemble), Paul as Rocky, Jen as Janet and Muslimah in the ensemble (and me of course as Columbia). And Tawni is NOT Magenta--she had no shot anyway, after her shit during Pirates but luckily she didn't audition that well anyway. An adorable preppy/goth type named Charlotte is Magenta, and the guy who played Riff Raff in 2005 (so Jason knows him) is coming back. And our Frank! He is absolutely amazing--incredible voice and just loves the role. Mateo wanted to auditon and emailed me, asking me to "keep him notified" or something like that--but he never came to the audition. I hope he wasn't waiting for me to email him personally! I'm sure he was emailed by Dave and got the Facebook invite but it's a little weird. But regardless, as great an actor as Mateo was, he really cannot sing :( And the new Frank definitely can!
Roland showed up to audition and typically managed to drive Dave and me absolutely insane with irritation in under 5 minutes. He came shuffling in with a goofy grin and was asking us "what is this about? Are you having auditions? Should I sign up? I don't have anything prepared..." YOU CAME IN HERE. We did not seek you out, you moron--you came in here, don't take up our time with your unprofessional behavior and your inane drivel! Oh my God, he is so unbelievably annoying. I told Dave about his nonsense during A Christmas Carol 2007 (he casually told Gina and me that he couldn't be there for most of tech week--dropped this little bombshell the day before). He just DOESN'T GET IT. He is a perfectly nice guy but sometimes that's just Not Enough. I can't believe that Caley ever dated him!
