My Mind as a Blank

I sat here last night trying to think of something to write, and I failed.

And tonight, other than that issue, I'm blank again.

A lot of grading, a lot of outside issues, a lot of craziness seem to be taking over my brain. Yet none of it is particularly noteworthy: it's all very dull, mundane stuff.

I am looking forward to this weekend. I have a class titled "LA Connection" out at Voicetrax, at which several agents from LA agencies will be in attendance. It's not one of those classes at the end of which a student gets to audition at an agency, but it's always good to be up in front of real agents who can give you honest opinions about your actual standing. Just after that, I'm engineering for a second class, a scene study with Susan Blu, mentioned here before for the vast number of shows she provided a voice for and the yet vaster number she now produces. She's a terrifically nice lady and just cute as a bug--she's cemented in my mind the idea that to succeed in this business, you have to be a tiny blonde woman (like she and Samantha both, as well as a few other instructors).

And on Sunday, we celebrate St. Nicholas Day (a couple of days early). Maybe I'll explain that for the newcomers next time around. It's really a preview of Christmas, to make sure you're on the right path before the big day arrives; thanks primarily to my mother, it's really a kind of mini-Christmas itself. But I'm not one to complain about two Christmases.

Okay--this has taken a couple of hours to put up, thanks to the baby being unconscionably awake. I must stumble to bed. Until tomorrow, friends.
