another thing to file under either "completely random" or "hilarious fodder for the great american novel":

early this evening, i am going to an audition. for what, you ask?

two television pilots and a feature film. apparently the guy who cast "that 70s show" is holding a casting call today in the area and, since i heard about it on the radio and thought it would be hilarious for a vickie to go through this experience, called when i returned from happy hour last night (a factor that i'm sure contributed to my lack of nervousness about making said phone call) and got all of the information for it. so now, before i attend "ladies night" at blythe's and, possibly, the spring fever party at patrick's, i am auditioning. i think it's going to be hysterical -- i've always said i wanted to try something like this and there's no pressure on me whatsoever (sure i have self-confidence, but come on. vickie gracing either the big or small screen? we all know there's no way in hell!), so i can sit back, observe what the experience is like, who is there and what the feelings associated with the process are, go through the audition and then laugh tonight about what i have done.

how fun is this???
