Kelly and I hung out last night and had a few drinks together. We haven’t done that in a long time and it was pretty fun. It gave us a chance to catch up on things that have been on our mind. And it gave her the chance to tell me of something horrible that happened with our show.
Turns out that the girl that we cast in the show, Robyn, is a member of Actor’s Equity. This means that she is in the theater union. Actor’s that are in Equity are not allowed to do any show that isn’t sponsored by Equity. There are a million rules and guidelines when an actor is in this union. Usually it’s a great benefit, but in this case it is not good at all. Our director, Megan, had to call Robyn at home last night and tell her that she is no longer in the show. Robyn told Megan that she “had to get off the phone because she was going to start crying.” We all felt horrible for Robyn and horrible for ourselves. I mean, we have rehearsed for a month together and now we have to cast a new girl in her place.
Robyn should have known of the Equity rules before she auditioned for the play. I am absolutely stunned that she was unaware of the guidelines. Kelly’s friend, Ingrid, is going to take her place. Hopefully. Ingrid is an excellent actress, although not the first choice for the part. She will do a great job if she decides to take it, but it’s going to be crunch time trying to catch her up to speed. Honestly, having to recast this part is about the last thing any of us want to deal with right now. Stupid Robyn and her stupid Actor’s Equity card.
Did you SEE The Osbournes last night?? I mean, did you??? Holy FUCK! In my opinion, it was the BEST episode that I have seen over the last three seasons. I so badly want to tell everyone what happened, but I don’t want to give it away, just in case there are a few people slow on the uptake. Everyone that I have talked to about it has a different opinion on what it all meant. Personally, I think that the family wanted everyone to see how influential the editing of a show really is. You can’t always believe everything you see on TV. And how often do we all take this for granted? I certainly do. If you put a slice of cheese on television and tell me that it’s actually a slice of dark chocolate, well, I would believe you. Why wouldn’t I? And how dare you lie to me.
My favorite part of the episode could very well be Kelly Osbourne packing up her shit to move out. With her wig and sunglasses on, she looked like Judy Garland post alcoholic breakdown. It was unreal and fucking awesome. Especially when the truth was revealed. WHAT A GREAT SHOW! Joe CuttheShit gives it four dicks straight up!
Meeting up with Mariah after work for some drinks. We are going to place called The Hangar. I have yet to go to this gay bar and to be honest, am slightly scared of it. When I checked it out online, it looked like the crowd was compiled of ex-cons who decided to dedicate their entire existence to the leather lifestyle. Yikes. Here comes Joe and Mariah, two of the prettiest, most UNTHREATENING people on the planet to have some vodka tonics. Wish me luck. I plan to be either raped or murdered in the first five minutes. Eh…as long as the drinks are cheap.
And as long as the fucks are long and hard.
Why I Love French Fries
You go so well with crumbly bleu cheese.
You look so cute sitting atop my knees.
You taste so good slathered in Mayo
I laugh out loud when you say “Heyo!”
My friend, my love, the dear french fry,
The hope of marrying you could make me cry.
Your truthful nature, your loving embrace,
Fruits and veggies vanish without a trace.
I aspire to your incredible heights of glory
I knew a girl in school named Dory.
Dory was a nice and ugly lesbian
Who didn’t eat french fries, so the end.
Man, I gotta shit. So bad.
I love you, you love me, homo-sexu-ali-ty!
Enjoy whatever the nighttime brings.
