It's a very weird job, but better than working for a living.

Lettering go
Acting mostly involves letting go, and letting the characters thoughts play in your head, while the words come out without you thinking about them. I have to say it's really kind of easy--at least after I've done all my homework on the character and learning lines and all that. It's hard work, but it's easy. That doesn't make sense, so it's the perfect metaphor for acting.

Weekly recap:
Was reminded that acting in movies is 99% waiting. I am a genius at napping, though. Movie making is fun for about 5 minutes of the 12 hour day. The rest is waiting, chatting with others, eating, napping.

It's a very weird job, but better than working for a living.
