"Brakin'" 2: Electric Boogaloo
I'm on my way to my audition on Saturday for a short film and I notice my brakes are acting up. I step on them and for some reason, the ABS cranks and kicks in. And it keeps happening. So I go to my audition (which was a blast) and then take it over to the garage to have it checked out. Two days and $500 later, everything is fixed and back to normal.
I hate shelling out that much money just to have something that you had a few days ago. To pay that much just to get something working again. I have the cash, but I still hate parting with it. So I've taken back to online poker tournaments to replenish my cash supply. I'm already up $200 and that went to my car repair fund. Only $300 to go!
I've had this car for a bit and now I'm wondering on whether it's time to get a new one. Although, the nice thing is I own it outright. No car payments. And that's what is keeping me from making a purchase (and I really want a Mazda RX8 so if anyone knows where I can get a good deal on one, email me!). I like not being tied down to a car payment, it allows a certain amount of freedom. That and I'm just getting around to transferring my plates to CA. I guess that will make my move here officially official.
On the upside I had three theatrical auditions this week. Two for films and one for a Nicklodeon show. I actually had to miss the Nick one as I was sans transport. I didn't mind that as much though...the character was 38-45 in age and someone's dad. I may be able to pass for "young dad" but no way is anyone gonna buy me as some teen's dad. I still would've went though. Why not? Even if I'm woefully not right for the part, I'm just there to do a good job. If they like me, they'll call me in for other stuff. It's like the story about Cillian Murphy auditioning for BATMAN BEGINS. Originally, he auditioned for the part of Bruce Wayne/Batman, but he obviously wasn't right for it. Instead, they liked him so much they had him read for the part of the Scarecrow...and he booked it.
So you never know how things are going to turn out.
