3:35 - made it to the bus stop from the vet's office with 10 minutes to spare

3:45 - apologize to Jordan for not being able to pick her up since she didn't feel well (all while she was chewing gum, singing, being goofy and all around not sick-like :

4:00 - recorded and sent off a quick :15 sec spot that happened to pop into the e-mail box while I was waiting for the bus

4:30 - started dinner

5:00 - since it's anti-procrastination Wednesday, flipped over the couch (to look for child's long lost iPod) and actually cleaned out all the crap hiding under there (uh...yuck!)

5:30 - glass of wine in hand and checking in here

Not too much VO stuff today, but still feel like I've had a productive day

2:06 - got an email back from a different potential new client - could I quote on a job. Yes. Yes I can.

3:00 Get to the dog park, email from 2:30 asking if I could trim my price.

3:45 Leave dog park still debating

4:00 Get home, say yes to 3:00 client and send audio with my "repeat client" discount even though he's new. Still not sure that was the right call. Do 2 auditions for my agent - one "announcer" one "natural." Hate the natural.

4:15 Kids off the bus. My daughter's turn to audition, with the same script as I did at 4:00, while her brother takes his piano lesson and her other brother fights his urge to make noise. I like her version better.

4:45-5:45. Spend way way way too much time overthinking my "natural" audition. Scrap it and start over.

5:45 Children are complaining they're hungry. Heading downstairs to create food before the Mom Guilt (TM) throttles me.

This isn't VO related, but this particular VO artist is stepping back in a time machine this evening and heading to a lodge meeting. Hello 1965. Sons of Norway and I'm guessing I'll be the youngest there by at least 20 years.

Edited because I suddenly realized I don't fit the criteria..

0650: WE GOTTA GO! Frantic running to the bus commences.

0800: History. Teacher sounds like a droning Vulcan, but he looks slightly Native American. This was the most entertaining observation I gathered.

0915: RUN AND BUY BOOKS!

0940: Math class. Teacher has sick kids, a malfunctioning computer, and a cool Armenian name.

Woman behind me is trying very hard to make her presence known. I dominate her, telepathically.

1105: Lunch time, more like study time. I tackle a loving couple on my way to the cafeteria, all the while screaming "FOR BALDER!" The Norse deity grants me a boon; tuna sandwich.

1300: Class. Teacher has a heavy Spanish accent and is involuntarily charismatic. Class corrects 'haipohcreet' to hypocrite, only satisfied when the proper pronunciation leaves her lips. She repeats the former word within five minutes.

1425: Short break. RUN TO THE BOOKSTORE AND SORT ERRANDS!

1600: Class over. I dash toward the scholarship office, battling two jedis and a Weeping Angel on the way. The Weeping Angel is permanently banished a few years back in time to something called 'The Whoverse'.

1620: RUN TO THE BUS!

1730: Arrive at UCLA's entrance. The campus gives me flashbacks to my hometown, although UCLA is bigger. I start walking toward my destination, making sure my pheromones are in man-mode.

1731: Women have started running from me, frantically.

1805: Arrive at John Wooden Center. An agonizing wait commences

1830: The gatekeeper finally withdraws the portcullis, letting me and my partner in.

1840: Physical destruction commences. We enter the gymnastics hall and proceed to devastate our bodies. Acrobatics, gymnastics, stretching, cheerleaders; nothing escapes us.

2245: Arrive home.

2300: Searching for a plate.

2301: I end up finding a bucket and shove my dinner in it, then proceed to, bit-by-bit, empty it with a spoon.

2303: Shower.

0000: Lose consciousness. Cerberus (read, Charlie Bears) will let me know when it is time to meet the following day.

*Author's note*

It was a really long day, you guys.

[ccpetersen]

All times approximate

11:21: phone call to producer in another city about a meeting we're having; he doesn't answer so I leave a funny msg (we're old friends)

11:30: pet cat #1

12:45: lunch

1:00 p.m. work on schedule for meeting next week and wonder how I got roped into doing this... oh yes, organizer is an old friend who sang out for help and I responded; respond to email about giving a TEDx Talk in May. Now to figure out the topic.

2:00 p.m. read materials for a show I will be writing; stooge around on the Web for some imagery to refer to in the narrative
